We miss you at the Independent but are stoked to see your art back on the cover. What are you up to these days? I’m working with a great group of people at a construction company. It’s different every day — usually driving the dump trucks all over the place and messing around with cool machines. Also still making art, watching my 11-year-old grow into her amazingness, and definitely looking forward to the end of this crummy administration. I miss you all too and am honored as always to contribute to the Indy. Keep it going.

healing the heart Saving a Life

“I can’t stop preaching about how amazing Cottage is.”

With a feeling of tearing in her chest, Michele rushed to Santa Barbara Cottage Hospital where she learned she was having a heart attack leading up to cardiac arrest. If she hadn’t made it to the hospital quickly, she wouldn’t have survived. Within 30 minutes, Dr. Michael Shenoda intervened and saved her life. Dr. Shenoda is an interventional cardiologist affiliated with the Cottage Heart & Vascular Center.

Ten-to-One Odds in District 6

DEATHS

S

by Nick Welsh

even is the number of the continents.

Seven is the number of colors in the rainbow. It’s also the number of dwarfs who kept watch over Snow White. As of Tuesday, February 12, seven will also be the number of voting representatives occupying the Santa Barbara City Council dais.

That’s when the council will appoint — and swear-in — a temporary replacement to fill the vacancy created when Gregg Hart stepped off the council as representative for the city’s downtown District 6 earlier this year to begin his new incarnation as county supervisor.

For more than two hours on the evening of February 6 — while much of the nation was listening to President Donald Trump’s State of the Union Address—Mayor Cathy Murillo and her fellow five councilmembers put 10 applicants for the council appointment through their paces. While conventional wisdom suggests there are three clear frontrunners — Grant House, Gina Fischer, and Brittany Heaton — many of the applicants, some unknown until now, flat out dazzled; almost all impressed. Most were startlingly poised and articulate. None bombed.

According to the rainbow metrics by which diversity is gauged, six of the applicants are women, and four are men. Two are Latino.

At least two spoke Spanish; one spoke four languages, Spanish not being one of them.

Two grew up in Santa Barbara. One married into a family with Santa Barbara roots going back 11 generations; one is both the daughter and granddaughter of former city attorneys. Two currently hold high-profile jobs with the County of Santa Barbara; both of those would leave their county jobs to avoid potential conflicts of interest. One had previously served two terms on the council. At least two had young children. Four are north of 60 years old. One vowed not to run for election in November—when voters get to select Hart’s permanent replacement, and one vowed to run regardless of who’s appointed.

One appears not qualified to serve because he’s not registered to vote in the district. No information regarding the applicants’ sexual orientation or lack thereof was disclosed. As many as five could be described as millennials. Two clearly represent the right side of the political aisle; two have deep roots in the Democratic Party establishment. Three own small businesses. All but one of the applicants cited the crushing lack of affordable housing as one of the most pressing issues confronting city residents.

Of the 10, Grant House, who runs a sewing machine business, could most readily step in. He served eight years on the council and, before that, in a couple of stints on the Planning Commission. In that time, House distinguished himself as an in-the-weeds wonk with a passion for affordable housing and alternative transportation issues. Out of City

Hall for eight years, Grant clearly relished his opportunity to riff wonky before the council.

“I’m kind of in heaven here,” he gushed at one point. Among the South Coast’s scorekeeping liberal establishment, House is still critically remembered for providing Councilmember Randy Rowse — a squishy moderate with a pro-business sensibilities — the critical vote needed to secure the council appointment in a similar process eight years ago. On Tuesday night, House keyed in on Rowse in apparent hopes that Rowse might return the favor. Rowse joked back at one point, saying, “I can’t put my finger on it, Mr. House, but you look really familiar to me.” Whether any debt of reciprocity is enough to sway Rowse is yet to be seen. Rowse asked House “if he were king” what he’d do to improve the housing situation. From there, House basked in the King for a Day sobriquet, responding to questions posed as if he held a royal scepter.

Like most of the applicants, House said he’d tweak the city’s controversial Average UnitSize Density (AUD) rental housing incentive program and work collaboratively with developers to increase the number of new rental units targeting the so-called “missing middle” as opposed to high-wage earners. More specifically, House said he’d target the city’s limited resources to help underwrite the cost of rehabbing substandard housing such that the tenants do not find themselves displaced by gentrification. What those resources were was not made clear.

If the council is looking for another applicant steeped in the specialized mechanics of local government, Gina Fischer, assistant to 3rd District Supervisor Joan Hartmann, or Brittany Heaton, a county transportation planner who has chaired the city’s Neighborhood Advisory Council three years running, would fit the bill. Of the two, Fischer has the most obvious political portfolio, having worked on get-out-the-vote campaigns on behalf of numerous Democratic candidates.

Fischer, who worked previously for Planned Parenthood and chaired the county’s women commission, brings the most big-name endorsements from prominent politicians and has stressed most overtly the need to have more women on elected bodies. In Santa Barbara County, she noted only 29 percent of all council seats are occupied by women. During her Tuesday-night presentation, Fischer radiated high-energy enthusiasm. She took pains to stress her commitment to historic preservation — she served on the county’s Historic Landmarks Commission — as a counter-balance to her equally strong support for more affordable housing. Fischer stressed the significant threat posed by sea-level rise and climate change. More than other applicants, she stressed the growing importance of disaster response. During recent emergencyresponse efforts, Fischer saw firsthand problems. “We have a long way to go to improve in

While foul play was ruled out by investigators, the cause of death of beloved surfer and commercial fisherman Chris Brown, 48, has darkened the waves of grief felt by family, friends, and admirers since his body was discovered 1/19 at the base of the seacliff east of Hendry’s Beach. According to the Santa Barbara Police Department and the county Coroner’s Bureau, Brown “was under the influence of a high level of methamphetamine” when he fell from the blufftop Douglas Family Preserve to the rocky shoreline, where he drowned. A memorial service is planned for 10 a.m. on 2/16 at Calvary Chapel Santa Barbara, followed by a paddle-out from Santa Barbara Harbor. A GoFundMe campaign has been set up for Brown’s 22-year-old daughter, Chloë Brown.

CITY Santa Barbara raked in $6.6 million in grants from the California Transportation Commission for three separate construction projects. The lion’s share — $4.7 million — will go toward widening the sidewalks and bike lanes along the Highway 101/ State Street undercrossing. The pedestrian crossing distance at State Street and Gutierrez Street will also be shortened. Another $1.5 million will create safer pedestrian crossings along downtown De la Vina Street, a new bike lane between Carrillo and Haley streets, and a connecting bike lane on Haley between De la Vina and Chapala. The remaining grant money will pay for community outreach and preliminary engineering to identify improved access points from the lower Eastside to East Beach across Highway 101.

Contour Airlines has added Sacramento to its nonstop flights out of Santa Barbara airport, starting April 16, with tickets available now for the $99 flight. The 1/31 announcement was made with Mayor Cathy Murillo, State Sen. Hannah-Beth Jackson, and Contour CEO Matt Chaifetz in attendance and included an increase in Contour’s current Oakland and Las Vegas flights to twice a day starting 5/1. Contour plans to use an Embraer J135 for the Sacramento route, which offers a 36-inch seat pitch for the 80-minute flight and a free checked bag. “I look forward to seeing everyone at our State Capitol,” said Jackson, who makes the trek twice a week.

Direct Relief has named its new warehouse next to the Santa Barbara airport after Virgil Elings. The cofounder of Digital Instruments, who has notably endowed a park, college building, and high school aquatics center with his generosity, helped finalize funding for the $40 million facility with a donation of $5.1 million. FedEx added $3 million, and a total of $25 million was pledged by the Zegar Family Foundation, Dorothy Largay, Wayne Rosing, and numerous corporate partners, foundations, and individuals.

Ten-to-One Odds in District 6 CONT’DFROMP.9 terms of disaster preparedness,” she stated.

All emergency communications, she continued, must be delivered bilingually; the city’s wildland fire protection plan, she noted, was written in 2004 and needs to be updated.

Fischer has vowed to run no matter whom the council appoints. To avoid a conflict of interest, she has said she would step down from her current county job.

More low-key than Fischer and less plugged in politically, Heaton sought to impress with her competence as a county transportation planner. After 13 years on the job, she knows the alphabet soup of all the funding sources keeping massive public works projects afloat. “That’s pavement, that’s bridges, that’s culverts,” she said. “I know I have the experience to get to work right away.” Heaton joined the Peace Corps out of college, doing a stint in Morocco.

After that she joined AmeriCorps, working in Illinois. For the past three years, she’s served as chair of the Neighborhood Advisory Council and has recently joined the board of Peabody Charter School, where’s she’s vice president. On affordable housing, Heaton— like many applicants —stressed the need to impose inclusionary requirements on rental housing developments awarded special density bonuses and parking breaks to ensure such housing served working families and not just the well-off.

“Development is a privilege, not a right,” she said. She suggested City Hall should also create an information clearing house to better connect people looking for a room to rent with home owners with empty rooms.

Heaton acknowledged her county job could create conflicts of interest and announced she would quit her job.

The outcome of next week’s selection process remains anyone’s guess. Several councilmembers have privately stated they were wowed by Meagan Harmon, a real-estate finance lawyer, who grew up in Lompoc, went to Harvard, spent time in Afghanistan, and speaks four languages, three fluently.

Young, poised, energetic, and articulate, Harmon said she was moved to run by “the soaring rents and job insecurity” that make life in Santa Barbara for too many people “an insurmountable challenge.” As a kid, she remembered visiting Santa Barbara and being “awestruck.” Harmon serves on the county’s Housing Authority board and said she would make challenges to the city’s AUD rental housing program to ensure it benefited working families. She’d support a requirement that a certain percentage of all units built with density bonuses and parking breaks target middle-income families.

“That’s the number one thing to do.”

Gabriel Escobedo, likewise, made a strong impression, stressing the need for “housing first” strategies to deal with chronically homeless individuals stuck in the revolving door from the streets to county jail to hospital emergency rooms and ultimately to the morgue. “We cannot let the perfect get in the way of the good,” he said, acknowledging that 20 percent will be back on the streets within two years. The money saved from the 80 percent who get housed, he argued, would more than offset the failures.

“Climate change is real,” he stated, arguing that City Hall needs to be more aggressive about alternative sources of green energy not so susceptible to catastrophic interruption. Likewise, he argued City Hall needed to be more open to “tiny homes” and lessconventional housing approaches.

Julia Lara, a program manager for the Foodbank with prior experience with Hospice of S.B., said she wanted the appointment to better deal with affordable housing, mental health, and food insecurity. She currently serves on the county’s Behavioral Wellness Commission. Lara, who is fluent in Spanish, highlighted the importance of City Hall reaching out to all sectors of the community before important decisions — like the location of the new police station—are rendered. “People don’t feel their voices are heard.”

After the meeting, there did not appear to be one obvious slamdunk candidate able to garner the necessary four votes to win the appointment.

Waging an impressively aggressive email campaign is Kate Carter, who ran several businesses before starting LifeChronicles, a video production business specializing in end-of-life narratives that include Santa Barbara’s richest and poorest. Current Councilmember Oscar Gutierrez works for her.

Carter talked about recreating downtown in the face of new economic realities where many malls across the country have closed.

“They’re not coming back,” she said. She cited the success of the Night Market, a confabulation of small pop-up businesses that occupied the old downtown Macy’s building over Christmas vacation, as a positive new direction.

Matthew Nehmer, CEO of the Santa Barbara and Ventura Colleges of Law, blew councilmembers’ collective hair back with his high-octane presentation, describing his considerable experience as an educational administrator steeped in public affairs in Chicago and Washington, D.C. Santa Barbara should look more into bringing other higher education downtown, suggesting CSU Channel Islands would be interested.

Nehmer is not from Santa Barbara or even California, but from a Michigan town of only 800, so small he said it didn’t have even a stoplight. Education was his ticket out. With a PhD in leadership theory and organizational dynamics, he suggested he might help the city borrow ideas from other cities that have grappled with many of the same challenges Santa Barbara now faces.

CARP ROOTS: Carpinteria resident Maureen Foley at a county meeting to consider cannabis regulatory amendments

NEWS of the WEEK CONT’D

Cannabis Confab Gets Hot Weed and Wine Growers Can’t Be Friends Yet

by Nick Welsh empers got so hot at last month’s county cannabis ordinance public hearing that Supervisor Steve Lavagnino threatened to have Sheriff’s Office bailiffs haul members out of the large, rambunctious crowd if they didn’t stop interrupting. Tuesday’s meeting wasn’t set up to be a mass vent-fest. On the table were seven modest proposals to tweak the ordinance. But residents — led by noted journalist Ann Louise Bardach, a longtime Carpinterian—blistered the supervisors for selling residents down the river for cannabis tax revenues and campaign donations.

By then, William “Bubba” Hines, a grape grower, had already been removed after calling John De Friel, a prominent Santa Ynez Valley cannabis grower, “an asshole.” Hines denied touching De Friel but said he was frustrated that De Friel was growing 70 acres of cannabis next to his 22-acre vineyard, where he hoped to build a tasting room. The cannabis smell, he said, will adversely affect his wine operation.

Before this drama, Supervisor Das Williams had a blistering exchange with Carpinteria resident Peter Lapidus, who was part of a large contingent, Concerned Carpinterians, also complaining about the stench coming from greenhouses. The group, whose members were demanding a moratorium on new cannabis permits, all wore red shirts with multiple clothespins attached—alluding to that stench.

Lapidus complained that the county was not enforcing its own regulations and that he had not been invited to a meeting held by Williams — who represents Carpinteria — to discuss odor-abatement strategies. Williams, who later said he thought Lapidus was suggesting the meeting was somehow “nefarious,” criticized Lapidus for selling his family’s well water to Montecito landowners during the drought: “To get a lecture from you, who’s been taking water out of the Carpinteria Valley to give it to rich people, is a real piece of work.”

Third District Supervisor Joan Hartmann —who represents the Santa Ynez Valley— pushed for new setback and odor-control requirements for cultivation to protect, among others, the vineyards. But Lavagnino, arguing that odor-control devices would be impractical, asked if they would be required for broccoli and cauliflower as well. Both stink.

It’s been barely a year now since Proposition 65 — the statewide ballot initiative

T

legalizing recreational-marijuana cultivation, manufacture, and sales—has gone into effect. In that time, about 100 operators have secured slightly more than 2,200 temporary permits in Santa Barbara, the largest number of any California county.

Critics from North County, from Tepusquet Canyon, Los Alamos, and Solvang, all sang in unison with the Carp contingent.

They complained about the smell, about increased possible crime, and about a potential drop in property values. The wine industry cited studies suggesting that strong ambient odors can change the chemical composition of the grapes themselves, altering their intrinsic flavors, and odors are creating serious problems for the tasting rooms, where 78 percent of all wine is reportedly sold.

The cannabis industry also had a strong showing, but their tone was more low-key.

They acknowledged the negative impacts but believed that the permitting processes would weed out the “few bad actors” inflicting the damage. Many pledged to follow all the best industry practices, especially concerning odor-control systems.

However, no crop in California agriculture history, they claimed, had ever been so intensely regulated. To submit a complete permit application, one grower stated, could cost up to $200,000. Besides, they argued, none of the 100 growers now in the permitting process has been approved.

County Deputy CEO Dennis Bozanich warned hopeful operators that hard deadlines were fast approaching: “You’re either in the boat or not.” Right now, he said, the county is trying to get as many operators from “the dock” to “the boat.” Those that don’t make it by April will find themselves high and dry. But to become legal growers, they must install those expensive odor-control systems.

Instead of making that investment, Supervisor Williams believes, many operators “just want to get one more year and then get the hell out.”

Carpinteria residents who want a moratorium, he claimed, are just prolonging their own agony. “If we go that route, that will require action by the supervisors; that takes time. Then it has to go to the Coastal Commission for approval; that’s more time.” By contrast, he argued, the current system will make clear in a matter of months which operators are in the boat or out. In the meantime, however, he will be feeling his constituents’ pain; Concerned Carpinterians will see to that. n

By contrast, Bonnie Raisin — a perennial voice of conservative opposition at City Hall — stressed her local roots; both her father and grandfather had served as city attorney. Her work as a drug and alcohol counselor made her skeptical about the values of medicinal marijuana. The only time she got high, Raisin said, made her feel like she was driving backward in a car.

Scott Wenz, a longtime advocate with Cars Are Basic, was most caustic and critical in his remarks about the inner machinations of City Hall. When staff members lie, he pledged to call them out. As a small landlord and a third-generation Santa Barbara, Wenz expressed skepticism that increased housing densities will ever translate to affordability. Neighborhoods are too jammed as it is; there’s no place to put new people, he objected. And city streets are already overcrowded. “Where do you draw the line?” he asked his interlocutors.

State Senator Hannah-Beth Jackson

Jackson Shoots Down Fake Fox News Report

S

tate Senator Hannah-Beth Jackson’s office fended off false reports from national conservative media that claimed Jackson — chair of the Senate Judiciary Committee — “banned” the use of he/she pronouns during committee hearings. A segment by Fox & Friends picked up by the Daily Caller and others criticized Jackson’s January 17 announcement, saying it reflected the “craziness” and “transgender extremism” of California politics. “It really shows how far the politically correct lobby are willing to go in terms of policing language,” said guest Brendan O’Neill, an editor for Spiked Online.

“They want to dig down so far into how we speak and ultimately into how we think, that they are willing to ban the most common words in the English language.”

In reality, Jackson had announced only minor changes to the committee’s internal bylaws, which don’t ban or even mention the use of gendered pronouns during committee hearings. The changes were made based on recommendations from a new Senate resolution that encourages the recognition of

nonbinary identities. The first sentence of the committee’s rules, for example, now uses the neutral pronoun “they” instead of “he” or “she” in reference to its chairperson.

“Some in the right wing media have taken these very minor changes out of context and misinterpreted them as a banning of the use of he/she language in our regular legislative business or in California’s laws,” said Jackson. “Let me be very clear: No one is banning any language. We are simply making our bylaws more consistent and inclusive moving forward.” The fact-checking website Snopes.com recently determined the claim

by Fox & Friends and the Daily Caller to be categorically false.

The incident was only the most recent example of negative coverage by conservative press of Santa Barbara and its representatives. Fox seized on the Pledge of Allegiance controversy that recently roiled Santa Barbara City College as well as the City Council’s decision to ban the use of plastic straws at restaurants and cafés.

Carbajal Underwhelmed by Trump Speech

C

ongressmember Salud Carbajal referred to President Trump’s State of the Union Address on Tuesday night as “lies, contradictions, fabrications, and division.”

“It’s the same old thing,” said Carbajal about what he described as Trump’s immigrant fearmongering. Trump spoke of immigrants, saying he wanted them to come to the country legally, but those who were in the country illegally were depleting our resources and overcrowding our schools.

Trump invited a family to attend the speech and shared their story about how their loved one had been the victim of a crime committed by an undocumented immigrant.

Trump referred to immigrants as “criminal illegal aliens.” “He’s painting all immigrants with the same brush and characterizing them as criminals,” said Carbajal.

While Trump’s speech mentioned bipartisanship and the importance of unity, the congressmember did not buy Trump’s plea to unite the nation. “His actions the last two years couldn’t characterize more different tones,” said Carbajal, mentioning Trump’s attack on the civil rights of LGBTQ communities, women, and immigrants. Trump

mentioned the Mueller investigation as a factor that’s keeping the nation divided.

Carbajal was appalled Trump would call for a stop to the investigation, calling his tactic “ludicrous and self-serving.”

Carbajal was also moved by the things Trump did not say. “There was no mention of climate change, not once, but he talked about all he’s doing for oil,” said Carbajal. Only 10 days away from another potential government shutdown, Trump made no mention of his commitment to keep the government open. He did speak at length about the importance and necessity of his border wall, saying, “Walls save lives.” Carbajal thinks Trump is leaning toward declaring a national emergency to get the funding for his wall. “I hope enough Republicans understand the peril and precedent this would set,” he said.

There were several things Trump mentioned that Carbajal does support. “Family leave and infrastructure could be positive,” said Carbajal, “but the devil’s in the details, and he won’t give any details.” Overall, Trump used this opportunity to deliver a reelection speech, said Carbajal. “He was feeding his base.”

LAW & DISORDER San Marcos High School went on lockdown for about an hour Tuesday morning after a student reported seeing an armed man in the parking lot.

A small army of responders, including a helicopter and two armored vehicles, surrounded the campus and staged behind Vons. It turned out to be a false alarm. A man’s car had broken down, and he was seen holding a radiator hose, not a gun.

“It was a big misunderstanding,” Sheriff’s Office officials said in a tweet. “Thanks to the student for doing the right thing and reporting incident right away.”

Aaron Gorzeman of Oxnard, a maintenance employee of the Marriott Hotel on Storke Road, was arrested the morning of 1/29 for allegedly operating a clandestine drug lab in the hotel’s boiler room. Gorzeman, 37, was already booked in County Jail at the time of the discovery, having been arrested three days earlier at the hotel on outstanding warrants. Authorities were unaware of the lab at the time. According to Sheriff’s Office officials, other employees discovered suspicious chemicals in the boiler room and called 9-1-1.

Narcotics detectives found evidence of dimethyltryptamine (DMT) manufacturing and contacted an LAPD task force to help dismantle the lab.

The team, wearing hazmat suits and respirators, spent the rest of the day and evening processing

the scene in the hotel’s parking lot. Hotel guests were moved to a different area of the building as a precaution.

Following neighborhood complaints, law enforcement officials arrested a Santa Ynez resident who was allegedly “selling and possessing marijuana and manufacturing marijuana oils and concentrates far above their legal limits and without the required licensing.” Officials also determined that a 3-year-old at the residence was possibly exposed to cannabis products, including smoke and edibles. The child was taken to the hospital for evaluation. From the residence, authorities seized approximately 100 pounds of processed cannabis, 76 pounds of cannabis oils and extracts, and 60 pounds of cannabis candies.

Two vehicles collided on the Nojoqui Summit the afternoon of 1/31, resulting in two fatalities. Aura Orfelinda Guerrero, 48, of Porterville, was driving southbound on Highway 101 when she apparently hydroplaned across the center divider, colliding with a Jeep Cherokee heading north. She and the Jeep’s passenger, Richard Jon Larson, 74, of Buellton, were both killed on impact. A dog in the Jeep was also killed.

The county Human Trafficking Task Force made 26 arrests in the county during a three-day statewide effort to combat human trafficking.

Four of the cases were forwarded to the District Attorney’s Office for potential charges. The operation took place between January 23 and 26.

During the three-day operation, seven potential female victims were contacted and met with human trafficking advocates from the DA’s Victim Witness Program. One of the victims contacted was an underage female who was being n trafficked.

by Keith Hamm he steady procession of rainfall that began with an early-morning thunderstorm late last week dropped several inches of much-needed precipitation countywide. The rain gauge at San Marcos Pass registered over 10 inches in six days; downtown received about six inches during the same period.

While the greater Santa Barbara County region officially remains in the throes of historic drought—now in its seventh straight year—the water level at Lake Cachuma is on the rise, and wildfire-ravaged mountains and backcountry are regrowing more green by the day. After the last storm cell blew through Monday night, dropping bursts of hail on some areas, Cachuma was approaching 47 percent capacity while countywide rain totals reached 81 percent of a normal year.

Late last week, the ominous forecast prompted county officials to call evacuation orders for creekside and lowland neighborhoods near burn scars left by the Sherpa, Whittier, and Thomas fires.

The Sheriff ’s Office reported that evacuation compliance in Montecito “red zone” flood-risk areas was 83 percent. The hardest rains arrived Saturday at approximately 8:30 a.m. and quickly flooded problem intersections downtown and filled creeks to capacity. In Montecito, overflow from Oak and Romero creeks spilled onto Highway 101, forcing officials to shut down both directions for several hours.

As evacuees returned home on Sunday, the National Weather Service issued

T

a tornado watch near Refugio State Beach, and crews with Santa Barbara County Flood Control remained busy clearing boulders from Montecito debris basins.

“This debris basin [in Romero Canyon] worked perfect,” said Rick Tomasini, a maintenance superintendent with County Flood Control, who had been standing on a bank of the basin just after 9 a.m. Saturday when a massive surge of floodwaters drained from Romero Canyon, carrying trees and rock. “There was nothing in here [on Friday],” he added, pointing to a large field of boulders, approximately 20 to 30 feet deep, that had collected in the catchment. “It worked like it was supposed to.”

Assistant Fire Marshal Alex Broumand with Montecito Fire said, “The calls we were getting were service calls,” such as downed trees and minor residential flooding. “But no medical calls, no rescues.”

That same downpour early Saturday triggered a debris flow from the Whittier Fire burn scar in DeVaul Canyon, near Lake Cachuma, which clogged a culvert deep beneath Highway 154. The diverted runoff and debris forced officials to close the flooded thoroughfare in both directions; as of print deadline Wednesday morning, it remained closed. On the Riviera, Alameda Padre Serra is closed at Arguello Road, after heavy rains opened a sinkhole in the roadway. The city estimates that the reopening of APS will take two weeks; motorists are encouraged to avoid the area. n

Public Events Promote Replacement, but Lawsuit Softens Commitment

by Tyler Hayden lains All American Pipeline gave noticeably mixed signals this week about its plans for the span of pipe along the Gaviota Coast that ruptured in May 2015 and created the Refugio Oil Spill. Publically, the company displayed a full-steamahead attitude toward replacing the pipeline, but new court documents described the project with far less certainty.

More Controversy at Santa Barbara City College

EDUCATION

Administrator Supposedly on Unpaid Leave Only Agreed to Eight Days

by Blanca Garcia to place an employee on ‘paid administran the midst of the controversy surrounding tive leave’ while reviewing or investigating a Vice President of Business Services matter involving the employee. Given Vice Lyndsay Maas at Santa Barbara City President Maas is a permanent classified College, students have added an additional employee under Education Code section item to their growing list of grievances. 88013(b), the college had no legal authority Though SBCC President Anthony Beebe to place her on unpaid leave without her had informed the campus that Maas was placed on unpaid leave after the incident after she used the unabridged n-word, however, the college resumed paying her eight days later.

After the November 14 gender and equity meeting, Maas used the word in reference to students being called the slur on campus. Maas was criticized by students and staff for not “addressing the harm caused by the racial slur.” The delay between the incident and Beebe’s response has also been criticized by students and staff. Several days later, Beebe sent a campus-wide email that stated, “[T]his employee was placed on unpaid administrative leave, beginning Mon- Lyndsay Maas day morning, November 19, 2018.” He failed to specify that Maas only consented to consent,” said a statement put out by the eight unpaid days; she was paid more than president’s office spokesperson. $14,000 for the month of December and Under agenda item 8.1 of the Board of $9,000 for November.

—Sage Gasper, Students Against Injustice from the college. “That this Board item was not updated to reflect that Ms. Maas was subsequently reverted to paid administrative leave, was an unintentional administrative oversight.”

Student Sage Gasper, a member of the group Students Against Injustice, which has been protesting Maas’s return, said she felt disappointed. “The school failed to see through their already insufficient attempts at reparations for the transparently racially charged incident,” said Gasper. “Students Against Injustice will definitely address this moving forward in challenging SBCC’s leadership to be held accountable.”

Following the November 14 incident, students, staff, and faculty called for Maas to resign. After Beebe announced Maas would return to campus on January 25, students called for Maas to be fired. “Legal counsel advised the College that it could not discipline such an employee, whether by termination or placement on unpaid leave, for using the n-word where that word is not directed towards a College employee, student or member of the public as a racial slur or joke,” in a statement issued from the president’s office. Maas used the abbreviated word in reference to black students being called the n-word on campus.

Maas did not respond to request for comment. n

Michael Charles Bosio 09/23/29-01/30/19

A Goleta/Santa Barbara native, Michael Bosio, passed away peacefully at home with his family by his side.

Michael was a very kind-hearted, generous, farmer born September 23, 1929, in Santa Barbara to Angelo and Francis (Cavaletto) Bosio, a descendant of a Santa Barbara County pioneer family. Michael was raised in Goleta/Santa Barbara and attended Goleta Union School, La Cumbre Junior High, and Santa Barbara High School.

In 1947 he went to work with his dad farming walnuts, lima beans and other crops until his dad passed away in 1952.

Later, he was drafted into the US Army and served at a missile defense site in the bay area. He then returned to farming, and in 1965 married Lorraine Giorgi of Santa Barbara, and they had a son, Justin.

In later years, they divorced, and in 1976, he married Carol Barca-Cox who had three sons, Jeff, Steven and Greg Cox. Michael bought more land and expanded the original ranch acreage. Along with his son, Justin and faithful workers, they planted more avocados in Goleta the Goodland where now his grandson (Sheldon) has become the 5th-generation farmer.

Michael & Justin were awarded the Orchard award from Goleta Valley Beautiful back on May 3, 2008.

Michael & Carol enjoyed traveling with friends and family on trips to Europe, as well as in the States.

He enjoyed many local and out of state hunting and fishing trips. He was a member of SB County Farm Bureau, Calavo, several lemon houses and Goleta Rotary. For 35 years he was a member of the Santa Barbara Elks 613.

Michael enjoyed sharing the abundant fruits and vegetables that were grown on the ranch, as well as visiting with relatives and friends.

He also enjoyed watching his grandchildren play sports which included softball, baseball, basketball & volleyball.

Michael is survived by his loving wife of 42 years Carol, his son Justin (Cheryl) and his three grandchildren Justine, Lindsay, Sheldon (Nicole), all of Santa Barbara. Also, his three stepsons Greg, Steven, Jeff (Jill) Cox (their children: Jordan, (Megan) Justin, Jaiden, Joshua, Jillian, and Jeremy).

Charles “Chuck” Libbert

Jé Goolsby

Charles “Chuck” Libbert, 85, passed away on December 23, 2018 in Santa Barbara, California.

Chuck was born in Newark, NY to Charles and Sarah Libbert.

In 1958 he was hired by the oil companies to teach in Iran for the American schools where he met and married the love of his life, Betty Lynn. Chuck and Betty moved to Santa Barbara in 1964 and taught for the city of Santa Barbara until 1970 when they took teaching positions with the oil companies in Venezuela. They returned to their teaching positions in Santa Barbara a few years later. Chuck was a math teacher and golf coach at La Cumbre Junior High where he stayed until he retired.

During his tenure at La Cumbre Junior High, Chuck became the Math department head and championed the hiring of female math teachers at a time when women were rarely considered for those positions. Under Chuck’s leadership in 1990, La Cumbre Junior High was recognized by the state of California as Outstanding Math department.

By that time the math department at La Cumbre Jr high was predominantly women.

In the early 1980’s Chuck began to lead his students into the computer age by acquiring funding from the school district to purchase the first computers to be used in Santa Barbara classrooms.

When President Reagan announced the teacher-in-space program in 1985, Chuck was among four teachers from Santa Barbara that were hoping to be selected

by NASA. Although he was not selected, when asked by the media if he would apply again if given the chance, he did not hesitate to say yes.

Chuck enjoyed a good football game, playing golf, traveling and sports cars. He was a devoted husband and father and maintained lifelong friendships with many of his former students.

Chuck Libbert is preceded in death by his wife, Betty and is survived by his daughters, Kimberly and Gillian.

Donations may be made in Chuck’s name to his favorite nonprofit, The Santa Barbara Zoo: 500 Ninos Drive, Attn: Donations, Santa Barbara, CA 93103 or online at sbzoo.pivvit.com/ general-donations.

His daughters wish to extend their sincere thanks to Valle Verde retirement community, Visiting Nurses (Hospice).

Jé Goolsby died on January 26, 2019. An iconic resident of Santa Barbara, he was born in Livingston, TN and grew up in Los Angeles, CA where he attended the Art Institute.

Jé then moved to Santa Barbara, CA, acquiring a BFA at UCSB in 1962.

An active part of the Mountain Drive community in the 60s, he moved to the Mesa after losing his home in the Coyote fire. Jé had a long career as a commercial graphic artist, and he prolifically created as a hobby through painting, sculpture, writing and architecture throughout much of his life. His Mesa home became his biggest art project.

Jé is survived by his four adult children, his brother and eight grandchildren as well as Janice Kettler, his fifth wife whom he regarded as the love of his life.

In lieu of flowers please consider a donation to Santa Barbara Historical Society, the Live Oak Unitarian Universalist Congregation of Goleta or any candidate running against Donald Trump.

Estelle Meadoff

03/15/1915-01/28/2019

On January 28, 2019, two months short of her 104th birthday, the remarkable life of Estelle Meadoff came to a peaceful end surrounded by the love and support of her surviving daughter, Jan Baross, her daughter-in-law, Marlene Berro, and extended family and friends.

Born on March 15, 1915, as the only child of Abraham Kaplan and Bertha Seiferth Kaplan, Estelle’s childhood was a busy time, surrounded by grandparents, aunts, uncles and cousins.

She was a dynamic and charismatic young woman who relished learning and had a thirst for adventure. Having excelled at her studies, Estelle entered LA City College at age 16. At UCLA she earned an advanced degree in Social Work.

While attending UCLA she met Nathan (Nate) Meadoff (originally Medvedyev). He was a handsome dark haired immigrant from Gomel, Belarus who was attending medical school. Estelle and Nate fell in love and married in 1941. They moved to

the rural town of Bakersfield, CA. where Nate had a successful orthopedic practice. They always dreamt of moving to the Bay area, but remained in Bakersfield for 25 years.

They had two children, Wendy Jan who became an artist and writer, and Thomas Miles (1945-2014) who became an ER doctor.

It was 1967 when Estelle was about to get her dream life. The relative isolation of central California did little to quell her thirst for adventure and travel. Nate would retire that year and they would travel the world, eventually moving to San Francisco where he would teach at the Medical School at the University of California, San Francisco. Unfortunately, he suffered a heart attack and passed away. His kindness and skill was sorely missed by all those lives he touched.

Despite the untimely death of her husband, Estelle followed her own internal compass, traveling throughout Europe and settling in London as a base for her ongoing travels. She lived at the Mayfair hotel in London for the next 30 years. She was an excellent bridge player and made friends easily. She took art classes in London and went on painting holidays on the continent. She traveled the entire world with daughter Jan as her eager companion.

At the age of 83, inspired by the beauty and weather, she moved to Santa Barbara and took residence at the Encina Lodge, where she planned to live for the rest of her life. Over the past 20 years, she enjoyed spending time with the bridge, arts, and museum communities. Estelle was fortunate to have a close group of family and friends including her cherished Santa Barbara friends, wonderful cousins who visited often, and her beloved Encina Lodge family.

She had a rapid, analytical and intuitive mind. During her life she continued to play bridge, a game she continued to play until the last year of her life. She was a passionate painter, largely self-taught, and driven by her own desire to capture color and form of people, animals and nature as an expression of emotion and passion. Her sharp wit, sense of humor and desire to be free from social norms inspired those around her and lives on in her daughter, Jan. She continued her art and in 2016 had her first show at age 100, in Portland, Oregon.

Throughout her life, Estelle was in control of her life’s path, and always dictated the terms by which she wished to live as well as her final journey. She will be remembered as a person who truly lived the life for which she aspired and enjoyed its richness to the very end of her days.

To see Estelle’s art work please visit Website: estelleartist.com To learn more about Estelle’s life see You Tube under Jan Baross: “That Five Star Feeling” and “Happy Feet.” At Estelle’s request, no services are planned at this time. In lieu of flowers, please donate to your favorite charity.

Mike Rowbottam

Cecilia F. Phillips was born on May 30, 1928 in Santa Barbara, CA. The eldest of four children born to Carmelita and Felix Beltran, Cecilia graduated from Santa Barbara High School in 1946 and began her career working as a telephone operator at General Telephone Company, then at Personal Services, and finally, at UCSB's Communication Services, where she eventually retired.

An avid reader from an early age, Cecilia could be seen with a book, newspaper, or crossword puzzle in hand on any given day. Her curious streak led her to travel to various places in the United States and abroad, such as Alaska, Washington D.C., and Australia to name a few places she visited.

Married to the late Wayne L. Phillips from 1950 - 1982, Cecilia was the proud mother of four children, Michael (Dawn) Phillips, Anne (Jim) Elwell, twins Rebecca (Richard) Saffold and Elizabeth (Luis) Ruiz, nine grandchildren, and three great grandchildren. An avid sports fan, Cecilia enjoyed attending sporting events that her children and grandchildren participated in.

She was also a die-hard Dodger fan to the end!

Until her health started declining, Cecilia was involved with Saint Raphael's Church, Catholic Charities, and the Coastal Band of the Chumash Nation. Her expertise in quilting and needle arts enabled her to create beautiful blankets and wall hangings. She spent many hours crocheting and knitting blankets for her grandchildren, great grandchildren, and various charities.

Most recently, Cecilia was able to enjoy a 90th birthday celebration at Valle Verde Health Center, where she resided for the past few years.

Family and friends came from near and far to celebrate this momentous occasion with her. The family is eternally grateful for the care and compassion that Cecilia received at Valle Verde.

Cecilia passed away on January 27, 2019 at age 90. At Cecilia's request, a graveside service will be held at Calvary Cemetery (199 N. Hope Ave.) on Friday, February 8, 2019 at 11:00 a.m. A reception will immediately follow at the Activity Center at Valle Verde Health Center,

My friend, Mike Rowbottam, passed away in his sleep on December 30, 2018. As kids, Mike and his younger brother, Steve, spent their adolescent years exploring the beaches in Montecito to the SB Marina.

Mike graduated from San Marcos HS and went onto choose carpentry as his trade. While never abandoning his love for the ocean, Mike became a certified diver, learned to sail and lived on his boat, The Rumrunner, in the harbor.

His life could be defined as a road scholar and adventurer. He enjoyed diving at the SB Channel Islands and in Baja. In 1984, he crewed on a boat that sailed to Australia then onto Fiji and the Soloman Islands.

On this same adventure, he sailed to Hawaii where he lived for 5 yrs working as a carpenter.

He returned to Santa Barbara and his life on his boat in the harbor. In concert with his adventures, he was a very intelligent man – an avid reader of history, particularly of WWII and Vietnam. His uncles, Frank Rowbottam and Robert Forties, were bombadiers in WWII. In the 1990’s, Mike moved into a family built studio behind his mother’s, Winnie, SB home where he lived until Winnie’s death in 2017. He was one of his mother’s caregivers in her later years when she was afflicted with Alzheimer’s disease.

Mike Rowbottam was loyal to all of his friends, no limit to his generosity without hesitation. His home was open to anyone that needed a place to hang out, rest or just watch sports. His depth of character provided some sound advice to many of his friends without extending any judgement.

Mike is survived by his brother, Steve, sister, Pam, and 3 nephews: Jason, John & Josh. And Niece Fiona. There will be a service on Friday, February 15th @ 2:30pm at the Goleta Cemetery followed by a Memorial @ 4:30pm at the Santa Barbara Yacht Club. For more information, contact Mike’s brother, Steve @ 805-455-0614.

Lee Clay Jordan III 11/28/61-01/27/19

It is with great sadness that the family of Lee Clay Jordan III announces his passing.

Clay loved to explore new ideas, always seeking to learn something interesting, meet someone new, explore someplace unknown. He was famous for his quick wit, his way with words, and his unique per-

spective. Time spent with Clay was always synonymous with new and intriguing experiences.

Clay will be lovingly remembered by Yvonne, his wife of 25 years, and Zack, his son. He will forever live on in the hearts and minds of his sister S.A. Jordan, his in-laws Mark, Kay, Peter and Mitzi Heitmann, his nieces and nephew, and his many dear beloved friends.

Clay was first and foremost a devoted husband to Yvonne and a wonderful father to Zack. After a successful career in Real Estate Appraisal as an SRA and as an entrepreneur, he became a stay at home dad. Clay gave Zack his heart, taught him to laugh until his belly hurt, opened his mind to the joy of a life well lived, and taught him to be an honest, kind, and loving person.

He personified these values every day, and will forever be remembered as an exemplary role model by his son.

Clay successfully fought through multiple brain cancer recurrences while raising Zack over 21 years. He and Yvonne always persevered.

Throughout everything, he was a pillar of strength and the model of what a great husband, father, and man should be. If there’s a place for good souls, he’s there.

His family invites everyone who knew him to celebrate his life at the First Congregational Church of Santa Barbara, located at 2101 State Street, February 16, 2019 at 11:00am.

May he rest peacefully.

After the 9/11/01 event she relocated her store to Main St. Ventura and did quite well until the 07-08 crash sent business down. For the final years of her life she worked at the Santa Barbara County Board of Education again making many new and close friends. During the four years during the Cancer struggle she continued to work, play tennis making new and close friends and have some great travel experiences.

Having hosted students for many years she manages to maintain very close relationships with people from other countries.

She was fun. She was good. She was smart. She was kind. She was stubborn and self-assured but also honest.

Memorial will be held on March 2nd at 418 Santa Fe Place from 2:00 to 5:00pm.

Joseph C. Nuñez 07/19/48-01/20/19

Nuñez, Joseph Charles (Joby); 70 of Santa Barbara, passed away at his home on January 20, 2019, surrounded by his family and loved ones. Joby was born in Santa Barbara on July 19, 1948 to Beatrice Terres Nuñez and Angelo Nuñez. He attended Our Lady of Guadalupe Elementary School, Santa Barbara Junior High and Santa Barbara High School where he excelled athletically. Joby was an all-around athlete, who played football, basketball and baseball.

He was an All-Channel League first-team selection in football and baseball and was named Best AllAround Athlete his senior year and was inducted into the Hall of Fame at Santa Barbara High School. He attended Mesa College and then transferred to Oregon State on a football scholarship. He played on the 1967 “Giant Killers” team that was considered one of the most famous football teams in Oregon State History. He transferred to U.C.S.B. where he played football his junior and senior years. He was one of the Gaucho Football award winners his senior year and was cocaptain of the team. He graduated from U.C.S.B. in 1971 with a B.A. in kinesiology and he received his secondary teaching credential from U.C.S.B. in 1972.

Joby’s love of coaching began when he coached for the Recreation Department’s summer baseball season when he was just out of high school. He loved mentoring young athletes, so it wasn’t surprising that he became a high school coach. He was a truly gifted coach who was loved by his former players. Mentoring was his passion, and he never lost an opportunity to provide encouragement, not only to his players, but also to those who needed it.

Joby had a long and outstanding career as a teacher, coach and administrator in the Santa Barbara School District. He began teaching in 1972 at Dos Pueblos High School, where he taught P.E. and was a coach for the varsity football team.

He always said that he was lucky to coach under Dick Mires, and work with incredibly knowledgeable coaches, such as Dick, Scott O’Leary and Tom Everest, all of whom became life-long friends.

While at Dos Pueblos, he had the opportunity to develop the school’s soccer program. He felt that the soccer teams at DP would not be able to compete with Santa Barbara High teams until he could develop players from a young age, so he developed a soccer program at the Goleta Boys and Girls Club. Dos Pueblos became a very competitive program after that, winning a CIF final.

He then went back to his Alma Mater, SBHS, to coach football and soccer with Lito Garcia. While 20

coaching at SBHS, he convinced his old coach, Mike Moropoulos to return to coaching football. Joby was so happy to work with his old coach. They both said that they learned a lot from each other, but more importantly, they became good friends. Joby not only coached at SBHS, he also taught ESL History and ran the Career Center, helping students to attain work/study jobs.

After 10 years at SBHS he went to San Marcos as an Assistant Principal, where he worked for several years before going to La Cuesta. He loved being the assistant principal there because he felt he could really impact the students there. His last placement was as an assistant principal at Dos Pueblos High School.

He felt that he had gone full-circle in his career, and although he was a Don, he really felt an affinity for all the high schools in the district.

Joby was always running into his former players and students who approached him regularly to reminisce about their time and experiences together. They often told him that he was instrumental in changing the course of their lives.

It meant a lot to him to hear these stories, as he always felt so happy to have had the opportunity to do so.

Joby was also very active in the community serving on several committees. He was very involved in Ye Old Gang, which raised money for athletic programs at SBHS. He worked tirelessly raising funds, putting on Golf Tournaments, and the Awards Ceremony, which recognized former athletes who had attended Santa Barbara High School. He was one of the early recipients of this award. He was also recognized for his coaching by the Santa Barbara Athletic Round Table, an award he was very proud to receive.

Joby left us way too young, but left a legacy in the community that will last forever. He never met a stranger because he treated everyone he met as a friend. He will be missed by everyone who met him, but especially by his family. He has left a huge hole in their hearts.

Joby is survived by his loving wife of 41 years, Patricia Nuñez (Chavez), three children: Janet Lemons, Daniel Nuñez (Vanessa Ramirez), and Ana Karina Arnold (Nathaniel). He is also survived by his grandchildren: Joseph Lemons, Daniel Joby Nuñez, and his newest granddaughter, as yet unnamed, baby girl Arnold. His grandson, Joshua Lemons, preceded him in death. He is also survived by his siblings: Dr. Robert Nuñez and his wife Jennifer, Loretta Carter and her husband Chuck, Adrianne Nuñez Bellamy and her husband Jerry, and numerous nieces and nephews.

His family wishes to express their appreciation to Dr. Gregg Newman at the Ridley Tree Cancer Center for all of his support over the years.

The funeral mass was held at Our Lady of Mt. Carmel Church on Saturday, February 9. Immediately following was a celebration of life at the Carriage Museum.

In lieu of flowers, please make donations to Santa Barbara High School Alumni Association for a perpetual scholarship in memory of Joseph Nuñez: Santa Barbara High School Alumni Association, P.O. Box 6121, Santa Barbara, CA. 93160-6121.

Oil Saves Lives

D

uring the recent Polar Vortex, most of our nation was plunged into icy, frigid, snowy conditions. Temperatures and wind chills plummeted to levels that put tens of millions of Americans at risk for hypothermia and frostbite in minutes. In St. Louis, it was minus 4 degrees; in Chicago, minus 16 degrees; and in Wisconsin, minus 24 degrees.

What was the only real defense against this extreme cold, and what saved many lives? Fossil fuels, the main source of our electricity — or coal, natural gas, and oil. And yet, Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and other radical Democrats are promoting a “Green New Deal” that will kill off the gas and oil industry.

Wake up, America. Fossil fuels save lives during frigid weather. Windmills and solar panels do not. ​— ​Diana Thorn, Carpinteria

Slick Guarantees

T

hank you, Nick Welsh, for a comprehensive article about our 1969 oil spill [independent .com/69spill]. Many residents weren’t living here then, and this article educates them to the horrors of the Union Oil blowout. Will the proposed oil development in Cat Canyon contaminate the water supply or air quality? Heavens no, according to the oil company. They are all about safety.

About one year before the British Petroleum blowout in the Gulf of Mexico in 2010, BP paid lobbyists a small fortune to convince Congress that no new safety rules were necessary because they had it all under control. They actually stated, “There will never be another Santa Barbara.” Unfortunately, Congress believed them and let them skate.

When BP’s “safe” well blew due to equipment malfunction, the disaster cost the lives of 11 oil rig workers, 17 were injured, 1,100 miles of shoreline were polluted, and much of the ecosystem was destroyed. Now Aera Energy expects residents and our Board of Supervisors to believe its rhetoric about the safety of oil production in Cat Canyon.

Nothing bad can possibly go wrong? No oil company can guarantee absolute safety.

defense when the difficult topic comes up, which helps ensure it never comes up, the intended outcome of our outrage. Personally, I am aware that the arrow of oppression does not point toward white folk like Frank and me; I have decided to embark on an investigation into my own racism.

It is not necessary for me, and Nick and Jerry and whomever, to run around in white robes burning crosses and to lynch people to merit being called “racist” — it’s simply not a binary activity and, like most natural phenomena, spans a large spectrum.

Our fragility, however, does serve to cement racism into the fabric of our society. It is the little things that Frank and I undoubtedly engage in that enable the big things. Thus, I applaud this school program.

I would say to Justice Roberts that it’s not at all about stopping discrimination on the basis of race, as race is actually the child of racism, not the father.

What’s truly necessary is for people of the dominant race to understand ourselves. I do hope Frank will do a little work and come to appreciate this. There are plenty of resources out there, including this [Just Communities] school program, thankfully.

We need each other.

nor Bale Brelsford created in her amazing 102-year life, one of the most significant was her work as director of The Oaks ParentChild Workshop. Her nurturing of both children and parents during their early preschool parenting years touched thousands of lives. Though she was not one to seek attention — making her wish known that there would be no memorial service — she couldn’t prevent family and friends from coming together last fall to celebrate her remarkable life and impact. Folks came from across the country to pay tribute to Elinor and share stories of her work at The Oaks and how it lives on.

Elinor’s career at The Oaks began almost accidentally. The school, originally founded in 1947 as the Hoff Heights Parents Community Nursery School, had shifted locations over its first five years from Hoff Heights (near Adams Elementary) to the Riviera, and would soon need to move again. Elinor was hired in 1952, EARLY EDUCATION: Elinor Brelsford, director of the Oaks Parent-Child three years after she and her husband, Workshop, greeted children at the entrance every morning for 31 years.

lives he touched. Throughout his life, Boyd cared for those in need and in Tibetan Buddhism lived the life of a Bodhisattva. A private celebration of Boyd’s life was held on Goleta Pier on January 26, 2019.

In lieu of flowers, Boyd requested that his friends and family make donations to the homeless shelter of their choice. Namaste loving soul.

Juan Ayala 1949-2019 Kendall Boyd Grant (“Boyd”) December 3, 1943 – November 9, 2018 was born in Santa Barbara to Kathleen Boyd Grant and Nelson Kendall Grant. Boyd graduated from San Marcos High School and U.C. Santa Barbara with a B.A. in Religious Studies. Boyd was a true child of the 60s exploring first the Civil Rights Movement and later the Free Speech and Anti-War Movements. He attended the Joan Baez Institute of Non-Violence and read Thoreau and Gandhi, practiced meditation and followed the teachings of Buddha. Boyd was a gentle, generous, peaceful soul who was happy living and traveling alone, playing his guitar and whose primary love was pier fishing. Over the years, Boyd held many jobs and retired after 20 years of service for Verizon, formerly GTE. After his retirement, Boyd bought an RV and traveled throughout the Western U.S collecting photos and adventures which he recorded in a series of photo essays. After a year or so on the road, Boyd settled down in Goleta to devote his time and energy to the activity he loved most – pier fishing. At this point, Boyd found the site pierfishing. com which, in his words, was “like coming home.” It was on this site that he became known as “Pierhead.”

Wanting to stay in the pier environment and be with his friends, Boyd decided that cleaning the pier every morning, before sunup when he had it all to himself, was a way to stay connected and to enjoy nature. In his desire to improve life on the pier for fishermen while preserving nature, Boyd cofounded an organization known as United Pier and Shore Anglers of California (UPSAC), a non-profit educational organization that supported the interests of shore and pier anglers and operated out of a small building on Goleta Pier with the goal of exploring and developing a guideline of best conservation practices. Boyd became the caretaker and host at Goleta Pier until 2011 when the County ended the program. He referred to his time on the pier as some of the happiest years of his life.

Boyd returned to his quiet life in Lompoc where he lived until he met his soul mate, Elaine, after which he referred to himself as “the old fisherman with the catch of his life.” Boyd was preceded in death by his parents and his brother, Jerry. He is survived by his wife, Elaine, his sister Kathleen, brother David (Nadine), his son, Joshua (Kimberly), three granddaughters, many nieces and nephews and countless others whose INDEPENDENT.COM

An inspiration to everyone that crossed his path, sadly Juan Ayala passed away January 8th, 2019.

Born in Ecuador and coming to the US as a young man, he was raised in a multicultural environment that helped to form the person that he became - a dedicated activist for Native Americans who lived for many years with the Hopi in Arizona, with the purpose of having a better understanding of their culture and to help to appreciate, respect and work to rescue their traditions.

An educator by profession, he submerged himself on a mission to improve the quality of education for children at risk for many years in Hueneme. Juan had a passion for education and after retiring he continued working as a substitute teacher at numerous elementary schools around the Santa Barbara area. At the same time, he was also a dedicated and enthusiastic parent volunteer that not only helped in his son’s class, but was also a founding member of the Green Committee at Roosevelt Elementary where he dedicated countless hours. Carmen Geiler remembers when she recruited Juan five years ago to start the Green Committe, his words were “What I can bring to the Committee is my experience of working for years to better improve the environment. Count me in I want to give that gift to all the children, to my son Antonio and all the Roosevelt Community.”

The Green Committee and Roosevelt Elementary will dedicate an educational Butterfly Garden in his honor.

Juan Ayala was many things – an environmentalist, humanitarian, pacifist advocate, an artist and a visionary. He was also a genuinely spiritual person, with strong values and virtues, a true friend to all. A man that cared so much about others and the planet, that his last words were, “I wish I could save the world.”

He was a mentor for many of us with his words of wisdom, calm presence and his respectful, kind soul. He was always ready to contribute to our community by standing up for what is really important on this earth. Thank you, Juan for your generosity and friendship, all of us that were part of your life will deeply miss you.

MID-FEST WRAPUP

BY JOSEF WOODARD

t can be said that the Santa Barbara International Film Festival (SBIFF) is fueled by three factors: the strong international aspect of its foreign-filmrich programming, the audience lure of Hollywood/Oscar-season buzz (actor tributes, panels with Oscar-nominated film artists), and, increasingly, the hometown advantage. Santa Barbara stories literally frame this 34th edition of SBIFF, with the opening night of Mimi deGruy’s inspiring film about her late husband, Mike, a celebrated nature filmmaker with an ocean obsession and a committed SBIFF organizer and energizer, who died in a helicopter accident in 2012, and Saturday night’s closing film, Spoons: A Santa Barbara Story, Wyatt Daily’s homage to area surfing greats.

In between the opening and closing galas, the 2019 festival has lived up to its tradition of showcasing recent cinema from around the world, giving us a rare chance to see films we wouldn’t otherwise have access to on the big screen. Cinematic highlights of the festival’s first half included the Vietnamese The Third Wife, the Estonian Take It or Leave It, the Chinese Shadow (Zhang Yimou’s latest), the Argentine comedy MID-FEST CONTINUED ON P. 27 ¢

We’ve had rain during SBIFF in years past, but the epic weather proportions adversely impacted the otherwise smooth operations of the fest on Saturday, when the Highway 101 closure prevented many panelists and tribute subjects from getting to town. Glenn Close’s tribute was postponed a day, panels made do with Pip dog Glenn Close and her leaner means (although at the Writers Panel, the legendary Paul Schrader, riding high on the buzz about his masterpiece First Responder, was there, and in fine, funny, wise form). Viggo Mortensen, determined to make it to the Arlington, was airlifted by Santa Barbara Aviation, arriving an hour late but full of infectious zeal and thoughtful reflections on his years of a life in the arts.

Overall, this is a particularly director-centric festival, blessed and fortified by the presence of creators of the year’s greatest films—especially Cuarón, Schrader, and Pawlikowski. In the director’s Arlington fete, Pawlikowski was asked if it was cathartic making Cold War, which is loosely based on his late parents’ life. “ ‘Cathartic’ isn’t the word,” the wry director said. “It’s a nightmare to make a film. It’s cathartic to finish a film.” Film artists’ catharses are the fodder for movie lovers and fest-goers’ pleasure and curiosity.

Religion Framed: Indigenous Jurisdictions and the Generativity of Tradition Professor Greg Johnson

Department of Religious Studies, University of Colorado, Boulder What do a suitcase and a micro-house have to do with religion? Professor Johnson’s presentation will explore two examples of living Hawaiian tradition—one concerning international repatriation and a suitcase, the other an ongoing land rights struggle that began with a micro-house and a flag—in order to illustrate how some contemporary jurisdictional disputes are a potent site of religious generativity. Further, a case will be made for comparative analyses of juris-diction (law speaking) and religion. To this end, “religion framed” is intended to convey four things. First, it is a reminder that all religious discourse is legally framed in the sense of being articulated in politicallegal jurisdictions. Second, the shaping force of jurisdiction is highly variable. Third, “speaking law” is happening within some Indigenous communities with ramifications for the expression of tradition. Finally, Johnson will consider ways “framing”—in terms of the second order discourse of religion—remains powerful as an analytical and disciplinary ground that holds promise for public conversations of consequence.

So to have that tied into the struggle of what Killmonger’s father was trying to do [in Oakland], what his mom was trying to do, and to have him take that dream to the next level, I thought was genius, and just ties perfectly into who Killmonger was.

Black Panther is a very layered film, and the story allows probing into a lot of current issues. I don’t know if that’s how you perceived it, but as an audience member, that’s definitely how I perceive it. That’s exactly how I perceived it. When you give somebody like Ryan Coogler the opportunity to make a movie on this scale, you know what you’re going to get.

’

Its success seems to me to fly in the face of the industry that often claims people only want to see films about white men. Clearly that’s not true. I naively hope that they don’t say that anymore. Just because you get one black president doesn’t mean prejudice and racism is over in America, you know what I’m saying? So once you get one film like this doesn’t mean it’s all over. I know that’s wishful thinking and a lot of optimism, and I love it and I appreciate it. … It just proves that this is a system with a model that works, and hopefully we have more support and backing to tell more stories like this, but by no means does it mean that it’s all over because we have Black Panther. But it’s a huge, huge step in the right direction.

That’s how I felt about Wonder Woman. Exactly. That’s exactly how you feel about Wonder Woman. Exactly. That’s a huge win. It’s amazing to talk about it. But there’s so much more work to do.

Environmental hero James Balog has been tracking human-caused changes to our planet for nearly 40 years. The acclaimed photographer/filmmaker behind the documentary Chasing Ice, Balog illustrates issues ranging from rising sea levels to pollution’s impact on human health, focusing on a call for change. His new film, The Human Element, documents how the earth’s four elements – earth, air, water and fire – have all been impacted by a fifth element, homo sapiens. A scientist, adventurer and founder of the Colorado-based Extreme Ice Survey and Earth Vision Institute, Balog will give a short talk and answer questions following a screening of The Human Element.

his attitude for innovation, and that’s what I hope people get from this film: to inspire people to completely disregard the status quo and take their own path.

Beyond having access to the miracle of Rincon, what is it about Santa Barbara that breeds such a flourishing culture of surf innovation? It’s really tough to say. Santa Barbara is just a little spot on the map, and the locals would like to keep it that way.

There is very much an attitude of being humble, not making a lot of noise, and appreciating surfing for what it is. Despite being a bastion of wealth, Santa Barbara has the roots of a working-class community; fishermen, farmers, and ranchers built it to what it is today. And that culture is still very much alive. Maybe it’s the unique geographic location — the way the mountains seem to plunge into the sea and how sometimes there seems to be its own weather system. Or maybe it’s the spirit of the Chumash. Whatever it is, Santa Barbara is a truly special place, and I think that fact alone shows a correlation with the surf culture.

ood afternoon, cruisers!” was the announcement as my wife and I stepped aboard the 855-foot Carnival ship Imagination. For the next three days, we would be cruising round-trip from Long Beach to the seaport of Ensenada, Mexico. Just the two of us — plus 2,600 other passengers and more than 900 crew members.

Our cabin, an ocean-view stateroom on the Riviera Deck, was surprisingly roomy, with a large window, king-sized bed, three full-length closets, and a spacious private bathroom. Our steward informed us that our checked bags would arrive shortly and added that we shouldn’t hesitate to ask him for anything we might need during the course of our long-weekend voyage.

We headed up to the Lido Deck to check out the buffet — roast beef, salad, veggies, and much more — all included with our travel tickets. No sooner had we sat down than a waiter convinced us we needed a pitcher of margaritas. Carnival offers a Cheers! package, which gets you unlimited alcoholic drinks anywhere on the boat for about $50 per day. (Each passenger is also allowed to carry on one bottle of wine.)

We had declined the drinks package, opting to pay as we go. Drinks ranged in price from $6 for a beer to $12 for a cocktail.

Our cruise was sold out, but with Guy’s Burger Joint, the BlueIguana Cantina, Lido Restaurant, a deli, fine-dining options, and even a 24-hour pizzeria, there

were rarely any food lines. The same could be said for drinks at the Illusions nightclub and the Alchemy, Atrium, and RedFrog bars — a beer or cocktail was always close at hand. There’s even the Serenity Deck, a drinking-age-only area at the stern of the ship, with lounge chairs, two hot tubs, and helpful waitstaff. Our stateroom fare also offered 24-hour room service.

Overall, our cruise was no hoity-toity affair, and it was an absolute blast. Dress options ranged from casual to semi-formal. Live entertainment was first class. Plus, we noticed a kids club and pools with waterslides.

If you’ve ever wondered about a cruise-ship outing, this sort of three- or four-day trip seems the perfect opportunity to give it a try. (And if your ship sails internationally, don’t forget a valid passport.) Visit carnival.com for more information.

drivers able to transport animals. The outreach is in anticipation of the upcoming nesting season, when the nonprofit receives the majority of its yearly intakes. It is seeking volunteers who can commit at least once a week during the busiest months in wildlife rehabilitation, she added. Founded in 2000, the Ojai Raptor Center “is a fully functional and perTito the barn owl mitted wildlife rehabilitation center, specializing in birds of prey. Every year we take in 500 to 1,000 sick, injured, or orphaned birds, including many nonraptors, and a small percentage of mammals, with the hopes of rehabilitating them and releasing them back to the wild.”

his season’s steady procession of rainstorms will help the mountains and backcountry regrow wildlife habitat erased by the Thomas Fire. That’ll take time. And with the region still in the clamp of historic drought, many bird species, including barn owls and other raptors, continue to visit and take up residency near urban centers. On the winged hunt for food and water, these top-level predators have to contend with moving vehicles, invisible panes of glass, and pellet guns. Following songbirds in search of water, Cooper’s hawks, for example, “will eat any bird at your backyard feeder,” said Kim Stroud, director of the Ojai Raptor Center, which is hosting an hour-long new-volunteer orientation day on February 17.

The center is recruiting for several volunteer slots, Stroud said, including animal care, data entry, IT, facility maintenance, and positions for good

GOOD HEAT: Conner Coffin scored a semifinal finish at the 2018 Quiksilver Pro France.

H

eading into the final contests of the World Surf League 2018 Championship Tour on the North Shore of Oahu, Hawai‘i, Santa Barbara’s Conner Coffin was in unfamiliar territory. He was relaxed, poised for a big finish at the Billabong Pipe Masters and feeling zero pressure to re-qualify for the world tour as it rolled toward the 2019 season — that’s because he had already re-qualified more than a month before.

“I think [I made] a lot of changes [from] last year,” Coffin said recently. “The biggest being that I started working with Glenn Hall. He really helped me simplify things on tour, focus on my strengths, show up to events really prepared, and learn more about competing. It’s been a super fun time working with him; I’ve gained a lot of confidence in myself and am having more fun on tour.” Hall is an Australian worldtour veteran who has transitioned into coaching. He also coaches elite-level surfers such as Matt Wilkinson and siblings Owen and Tyler Wright.

Last year was by far Coffin’s best on tour, a display of the consistency needed to stay competitive during the yearlong circuit. Over the course of 11 events, Coffin finished in the top 10 six times, with three quarterfinal finishes, plus a semifinal finish at the Quiksilver Pro France, his best result since joining the tour in 2016. Coffin finished seventh overall in 2018 and was the highest-ranked U.S. pro in the men’s division. Although Coffin isn’t making any predictions for 2019, the explosive regular-footer is looking forward to the coming season.

“It’s funny,” he said. “I don’t focus very much on result-based goals.

My goal is to surf my best and win every heat I paddle out for. Obviously, you don’t win every heat, but that is my mentality. Along with that, I set goals for my surfing, preparation, and working on making all the little things better. When I focus on those things, the results usually follow. That being said, I do want to finish in the top five and to be one of the top-two rated Americans so that I could go check out [competing at] the Olympics [in 2020 in Tokyo]. It would be pretty rad to surf for the U.S.A. there.”

For now, Coffin is enjoying his time off to tinker with different surfboards, spend time with family, play a little guitar, and cook. “And I love being around [my younger brother] Parker,” said Coffin. “We’ve always had a really good relationship — it’s supportive, but also [with] just the right amount of competitiveness to feed off each other.”

The World Surf League 2019 Championship Tour begins on April 3 in Australia, with the Quiksilver Pro Gold Coast.

A Drink with Dr. Chill

Become a Hospice Volunteer

H

e promised me a beer but made me order tea instead.

“Hot tea is always nice, right?” he said.

I mean, hot tea is all right. But with a full-time job, homework due in a graduate class, a family waiting at home, a trip to pack for, flu season lurking on every dang doorknob, and this column to write … I could have used a beer, honestly.

I was meeting Dr. Jay Winner for a drink to talk about stress. Since he’s an expert on the subject, and almost supernaturally mellow — and since my mind feels like gloppy, neon-hued spin art most days — I did what I was told.

“Let’s take a smell,” he says as we both lift our steaming cups to our faces. “Feel the warmth? Kind of let go of your thoughts …”

With a smooth, soothing voice that belies his Baltimore accent, he guides me through a mindfulness exercise: closing my eyes, tuning in to the excited chatter of the family at the next table, the sharp jabs of laughter coming from the bar and the percussive clank of dishes from the nearby kitchen — and processing it all as melodic music of the moment.

“Stress is an important part of being alive, but you want to learn how to use it to your advantage,” says Dr. Winner, who’ll give a talk titled Minimizing Stress and Maximizing Health for Busy People at the Impact Hub S.B. (1117 State St.) at 6 p.m. on Tuesday, February 19, through UCSB Arts & Lectures’ Thematic Learning Initiatives.

The problem with stress management email: starshine@roshell.com is you usually have to slow down to do it properly—which of course is the whole point. But I don’t want to. That’s what I like about Dr. Winner’s approach (and full disclosure, he’s my family physician, so every time I go in for a lingering cough or freaky rash, he asks if I’ve been stressed, to which I answer, “Duh, but can I get some antibiotics here?!”): It’s focused on things you can do in just a few seconds, without any practice … and without, like, chanting anything. Things like being present when you’re talking to somebody. Or reframing your thoughts when you’re stuck in traffic. Or savoring the cookie you’re mowing through.

“Don’t eat it while you’re thinking about how you shouldn’t be eating it,” he says. “Don’t eat it while you’re watching TV. Enjoy it!”

He started teaching stress reduction 27 years ago when he realized stress was exacerbating his patients’ other medical conditions. Now he travels the country, showing other doctors how to relax and enjoy life more — so that they can teach their patients to do the same.

“There’s something like a 50 percent burnout rate with physicians; it’s really, really high,” he says — but they’re not the only ones feeling stress. “It’s ubiquitous.”

Even in Santa Barbara, which often feels like paradise, events like the debris flow and conditions like the cost of living keep many residents in a state of anxiety. “There are people who are struggling,” he says. “Not everybody here is an Oprah.”

But he swears he’s got the cure — and it’s worked for him. He’s spent so many years teaching himself and others to live in the moment that he says he’s actually trained the neural networks in his brain to not get unnecessarily agitated.

“I don’t have a lot of judgmental thoughts,” he says, even as his phone buzzes and he reads a text from one of his teenage sons asking for more gas money. “No matter how stressed you are, there’s probably somebody who has a more objectively stressful life, and they’re enjoying it more with less stress.

“And there’s somebody else who has what you think would be a really easy life—and they’re stressed beyond measure. You know people like that.”

Er, I am people like that. So I’m carving out a sliver of my overscheduled existence to attend his talk (independent.com/drchill). But let’s be clear: I’m having a beer first.

Meet Our Newest Garagistes E Who’s Pouring in Solvang at This Weekend’s Southern Exposure

ven the most astute wine-country observers can’t keep

BOLSHOI FAMILY WINES: Adrian and Lydia Bolshoi started their brand during the 2016 harvest due to the encouragement of Adrian’s boss, Steve Arrowood, the owner of Montemar Wines. They started with one ton of Estelle Vineyard cabernet sauvignon and a half ton of McGinley Vineyard syrah.

Adrian is originally from Moldova, where he’d help his grandparents tend to their small vineyard and produce cabbased red blends. He earned a degree in enology from the Technical University of Moldova and then came to be an intern at Terravant but stayed for nearly four years. He also worked for a year in Sonoma at American Winesecrets before returning to S.B. to take the assistant winemaker job at Montemar.

BY MATT KETTMANN

Their focus is on grapes that remind Adrian of Eastern Europe, including cab, syrah, malvasia bianca (similar to the Moldovan favorite muscat), and late harvest viognier, a nod to Moldova once being the primary source of the Soviet Union’s sweet wines.

“Our last name, when translated in Russian, means ‘Big’, so we’re making bigger wines,” said Lydia, an eighth-generation Santa Barbaran whose relatives have also been involved in winemaking here. In fact, they used her great-grandfather’s hand-carved corker to put the cork in their first bottle of wine.

See bolshoiwines.com.

D. VOLK WINES: Dana Volk, who is not related to the legendary wine pioneer

Now in its seventh year, the full weekend festival is hosting 40 different garagiste winemakers — meaning their annual production is less than 1,500 total cases — who’ll be pouring more than 150 wines at various events February 8-10. Here are the stories behind just four of these passionate producers.

Kenneth Volk, started her brand in 2014 with 60 cases of pinot noir from Duvarita Vineyard. “I wrote ‘Dana’s Pinot’ on the bottle with silver Sharpie,” she said. “Family and friends managed to consume most of it before I could get a proper label on it.”

Her wine career actually began in 1996 at Edna Valley Vineyard, which led to two decades of work for Kendall-Jackson in various production roles throughout California, Argentina, and Chile. “Traveling teaches you to look at life with a different perspective,” she said. “This has allowed me to be open to new ideas, and I’m much better at problem-solving because of it. Traveling also forces you out of your comfort zone, something that is easy to get stuck in as a winemaker.”

She’s making a wide variety of wines now. “So many new vineyards have been planted in Santa Barbara County since I left the area in 1989,” she said. “Because of the geography, topography, and climate here, we are able to grow all the classic grape varieties. I’ve been like a kid in a candy store the past few years, as I don’t own a vineyard, so I am able to purchase whatever grapes I want each harvest. I do truly love syrah, though, and I make both a warm- and coldclimate syrah. Pinot is another favorite to make. Oh, and grenache, sauvignon blanc. …”

See dvolkwines.com.

METRICK WINES: Alex Russan’s introduction to wine was while working at The Wine House in Los Angeles in 2005, but then he imported specialty coffee for a dozen years from Colombia and Brazil. In 2012, he also started importing Spanish sherry and wine, and he turned his home-winemaking hobby into a commercial enterprise with the 2015 vintage. Today, he also writes about wine for WineMaker magazine and SevenFifty Daily and recently started the California Wine School to run education sessions for tasting-room associates.

Focused on aromatic complexity, he’s gravitating toward Loire and Spanish varieties as well as chardonnay, producing lightly bodied, lower-alcohol, foodfriendly wines. Much of his style comes from what he’s learned in his importing career.

“I get a pretty intimate view of how vastly different viticultural circumstances affect grapes,” he explained. “For example, working with grapes at higher latitudes, where there is less sunlight intensity, has led to my choice of having a

In a city with a seemingly endless supply of craft beer, precious mixology, and Instagrammable decor, The Tully serves as a refreshingly downmarket alternative. It’s small and dim, dressed up with little more than a few booths, a couple TVs, and a single pool table. However, what it lacks in refinement, it makes up for with a familial energy and a remarkably diverse clientele.

“We’re bringing people together,” Tully explained. “Booze might be the shared interest, but they come from totally different walks of life.”

Positioned in the center of the Westside’s main commercial drag, The Tully is the neighborhood’s only bar and its de facto community center. Tully sees it as a kind of bulwark against the encroaching wave of gentrification, ensuring that the Westside’s longtime residents continue to have a place to go. As the daughter of a Nicaraguan mother and a Caucasian Canadian father, Tanya recognizes the value of cultural coalescence.

returned to Lompoc in 2008, he saw how much wine had taken hold and decided to jump in.

He started working at Dascomb Cellars in 2009 and is now the assistant winemaker there.

In 2012, he started making his own wine, which was first released four years later.

He’s making mostly pinot noir but also syrah from Meadowlark Vineyard in the Los Olivos District.

Charbonneau called the project Temperance to “honor my hometown’s humble history and highlight its unique relationship with wine and alcohol.” In 1874, Lompoc was founded as a temperance community — meaning alcohol was banned—yet is now ironically known as one of the best places to grow wine grapes on the planet. Said Charbonneau, “Temperance Cellars is about honoring our past and embracing our future and creating world-class wine.”

THE ILLUMINATED IMAGINATION OF

CARL JUNG EXHIBIT REVEALS ROLE OF ART MAKING IN PSYCHOLOGIST’S LIFE AND WORK

S

tudents of depth psychology the world over know of the fundamental contributions made to the discipline by the Swiss psychiatrist and psychoanalyst Carl Gustav Jung. Second only to his colleague Sigmund Freud in terms of name recognition, Jung’s work on archetypes and symbols gave rise to a tradition of analytic psychology that has inspired thousands of disciples, including the comparative mythologist Joseph Campbell. A fascinating new exhibition at UCSB’s Art, Design, & Architecture Museum called The Illuminated Imagination: The Art of C.G. Jung, on display now through April 28, demonstrates that, in addition to seeing patients, giving seminars, and writing books on psychology, Jung expended an extraordinary amount of his time and energy creating a remarkable oeuvre of visual art in multiple media including painting, sculpture, illuminated manuscript, and even architecture. His restless imagination and determined pursuit of personal wholeness through individuation yielded a wild and complex legacy that is only now being fully appreciated.

Pride of place in Jung’s artistic output must go to the The Red Book, an illumi-

discipline of hand-lettering and painting to access a state of mind that might otherwise have been unavailable to him.

The thoughtful exhibition design includes a vibrant mix of images and objects that help to contextualize Jung’s lifelong interest in creating art. The devastating impact of World War I induced a fervent interest in such medieval icons as swords, dragons, and castles, an iconography that Jung shares with his near contemporary J.R.R. Tolkien. For example, in the page from The Red Book titled “Philosophical Tree,” an angular starburst in the night sky illuminates the writhing form of a giant dragon as it wraps around the tower of a dark castle. Jung was not, however, content to rest with only one cultural heritage in his visual vocabulary. Next to these manuscript images, we see his carved wooden sculpture of Atmavictu, a mythological figure variously identified by Jung as “the breath of life,” the serpent, an old man, and “the creative impulse,” a “quasi-sexual object” of its creator’s childhood.

Enthusiastic readers of Jung’s written opus will be delighted with the degree to which his many works of visual art reflect and enact his ideas about the unconscious mind. Practitioners of mindfulness will undoubtedly come away with fresh insights into the ways in which such daily physical practices as the drawing of mandalas allowed Jung and his followers to penetrate further into their psyches. Thanks to this collaboration among multiple organizations, including the Foundation of the Works of C.G. Jung, Zurich, the Art and Psyche Working Group, and the Pacifica Graduate Institute, we in Santa Barbara have the opportunity to see Jung’s visionary output in all its wild and wonderful variety.

nated manuscript that the psychologist hand-lettered and illustrated in bright colors between 1915 and 1930. Drawing extensively not only on his dreams, but also on the waking visions that began troubling him shortly before the outbreak of the First World War, Jung created a massive tome that, in both style and method, bears a striking resemblance to classic manuscript masterpieces from the medieval period. The actual Red Book lay open in a sealed display case at the head of the exhibit’s main gallery space, while on the wall across from it, large and colorful reproductions of particularly interesting pages offer visitors a chance to see what’s inside the covers. More than an elaborately conceived deliberate anachronism, The Red Book reflects Jung’s commitment to artistic practice as a vehicle for attaining higher consciousness. Like the medieval monks who inspired him, Jung used the “Loki - Hephaestus, 1920”

7 FINGERS

During a wine-fueled evening back in 2002, seven graduates of the National Circus School in Montreal sat around a coffee table, outlining an ambitious plan to form a new company that would strip their circus training down to a minimalist vessel for physical storytelling, the likes of which the city had never seen. They settled on a quirky name: Les Sept Doigt de la Main — or “The Seven Fingers of the Hand” in English — each one representing a distinctive and invaluable element that together would build a collective greater than the sum of its parts. Seventeen years later, 7 Fingers (as they’ve come to be known) has proved that in folds, premiering more than two dozen “creations” in cities from Russia to the United States.

At the center of the 7 Fingers vision is a cooperative desire to pass the creative baton around to each of its six artistic directors (seventh member Nassib El-Husseini is the financial wizard behind the company), allowing them creative license to undertake distinctive projects that range in themes (the street-savvy overtones of Traces ignited the company’s international buzz) and formats (Queen of the Night’s dinner theater production sold out almost every night during its two-year run.)

Last fall, the company unveiled a dazzling 60,000-square-foot Creation Center in the heart of Montreal to serve as the nucleus for the development of their wildly diverse undertakings. The first production to emerge from their new environs is Réversible, an intimate portrayal of connection and ancestral roots told through the real-life experiences of each of its eight performers. Blending acrobatics, dance, and ground and aerial acts, the artists travel in and out of portals of time and space (represented by a sophisticated moving set of doors and windows) to unlock the secrets of their pasts, shedding light on the memories that continue to haunt them in their present day.

With a tapestry of captivating skills (expect handbalancing juxtaposed with aerial choreography) and multifaceted artists that glide fluidly between their roles as actors, dancers, and acrobats, Réversible defies categorization and proves once again that 7 Fingers is at the forefront of a growing movement toward multidisciplinary performance.

7 Fingers performs Thursday, February 7, 7 p.m., at the Granada Theatre (1214 State St.). Call 893-3535 or see artsandlectures.ucsb.edu.

rom Brexit and anti-immigrant fervor in Europe and the United States to acts of outrageous terrorism by ISIS to mass shootings in Paris and Las Vegas to the rise of authoritarian figures in Hungary, Brazil, India, Turkey, the Philippines and, yes, the United States, this is, as the award-winning Indian essayist and novelist Pankaj Mishra theorizes, an age of anger that pre-vailing political, economic, and social structures appear incapable of ameliorating.

But our era is hardly unique.

Blending careful scholarship with a novelist’s gift for narrative, Mishra uses the works of Rousseau, Tocqueville, Herzen, Bakunin, and other thinkers to trace the roots of the present zeitgeist to illustrate that what is happening now has “the same source as the myriad Romantic revolts and rebellions of early nineteenth century Europe: the mismatch between personal expectations, heightened by a traumatic break

A failure of global society is that there is more longing than can be realized, leading to frustration and resentment, particu particularly among educated young people. As Mishra shows, the seeds of revolt are more likely to germinate when people are disappointed, disenchanted, and disenfranchised.

Such conditions are also exploited by demagogues who promise to restore security and safety in an insecure, unstable world, usually by harkening back to some glorious past and a mythic collective identity. With Age of Anger, Pankaj Mishra further cements his reputation as an astute and insightful analyst of contemporary society.

is greeted by the enthusiastic von Trapp children, who harmonized splendidly in their “Do-Re-Mi” and “So Long, Farewell” numbers. Their military father, who firmly believes that “the best exercise is marching,” is quickly undone by Maria’s ability to inspire happiness and joy in his children.

Upon realizing Captain von Trapp’s burgeoning romantic interest, Maria flees and returns to Sister Margaretta, who tells her, “You have to find the life you were born to live.”

Act 2 brought true conflict. Maria returns to the von Trapp family, who all faced the growing pressures of Nazi-infiltrated Austria. Lauren Kidwell (Maria) and Mike McLean (Captain von Trapp) gave stoic performances amid the strained atmosphere, all intensified by the disquieting red Nazi banners in the background. Maria and the von Trapps flee in the nick of time, embracing the mountains as the next journey toward their new lives.

Nothing was lost on the stagecraft in this Broadway musical. The set was beautifully lit: The church windows emulated Gothic stained glass windows, and the pastel landscape scenes exuded dreaminess. Together with the cast’s outstanding voices, the stage and the cast absolutely glowed.

Dear Neighbor, For the past twelve years, my team at Caruso and I have had the privilege of being a part of the incredible Montecito community. The support and encouragement we have received from you means the world to us. For so many, this stretch of land is filled with timeless and treasured memories, and I am deeply honored that in just a few short weeks, Rosewood Miramar Beach will revitalize the spirit of the surrounding area for all those who visit.

With the inclement weather our idyllic coastal town has recently experienced, we are now looking forward to opening our doors in a few phases over the next several weeks.

We would love to welcome you to an official Ribbon Cutting ceremony where we will celebrate this beautiful town and vibrant community. A formal invitation will follow in early March.

We take great pride in serving our communities with unparalleled hospitality and the best guest experience possible. In order to ensure we meet this standard, we have accepted a small number of reservations and private events prior to the Ribbon Cutting.

During this period, the resort will be limited to these events and reservations.

Our hope is that this resort becomes an extension of your home. From your first cocktail at The Manor Bar to a fireside sunset by the water, the magic of Miramar just would not be the same without you.

Should you have any questions at all, please do not hesistate to contact us at (805) 303-6071.

Sincerely,

Telling the tale of a beloved rock-androll enigma, especially one so notoriously private, is a daunting task, but Bohemian Rhapsody tackles Freddie Mercury’s legendary story with flourish and fervor. Admittedly, the film adopts a convenient plot line ripe with meetcutes and oversimplifications of Mercury’s complex relationship with his family and background. It struggles the most in addressing the often-discussed queerness of Mercury’s life, at times teetering toward bi-erasure and a lessthan-delicate portrayal of AIDS. Rami Malek shines as the shy yet vivacious Queen frontman and is spellbindingly convincing during both Mercury’s loneliest hours and explosive moments on some of the world’s biggest stages. The rest of the casting deserves a grand tip of the hat as well. Bohemian Rhapsody,

FEBRUARY 8 - 14 OSCAR® 2019 BEST FOREIGN FILM NOMINEE

The Hitchcock/Metro 4

Green Book for all its narrative flaws, is an earnest tribute to the iconic rock band, and remains a spectacle of sight and sound for music, Mercury, and movie fans alike. (JK) Fairview/Metro 4 Cold War (89 mins., R) Based loosely on the life of director Pawel Pawlikowski’s parents, this film is a historical period drama set in Poland and France during the height of the Cold War between the Soviet Union and the United States and its allies. The film follows the love story of a musical director and a young singer from the 1940s to the 1960s.

The Hitchcock A Dog’s Way Home (96 mins., PG) Author W. Bruce Cameron turns screenwriter for this family-friendly story about a dog who treks 400 miles to be reunited with her owner. Ashley Judd, Bryce Dallas Howard, and Edward James Olmos star.

Fairview The Favourite (120 mins., R) Olivia Colman, Emma Stone, and Rachel Weisz star in this historical dark comedy/drama set during the reign of England’s Queen Anne in the early 18th century. A tangled love triangle emerges between Anne (Colman), Abigail Hill (Stone), and Sarah Churchill (Weisz) that leads to treachery and betrayal.

The Hitchcock

Glass (129 mins., R) M. Night Shyamalan (The Sixth Sense, Split) wrote, produced, and directed this film, which picks up where Split left off.

Bruce Willis stars as David Dunn, who pursues the Beast (James McAvoy), who becomes entangled with Elijah Price (Samuel L. Jackson), a k a Mr. Glass.

Metro 4

O Green Book

(130 mins., PG-13)

Green Book is an uncommonly welltold tale of bodyguard Tony Vallelonga (Viggo Mortensen) and classically trained pianist Don Shirley (Mahershala Ali), thrown together on a concert tour through the Deep South in 1962.

Dr. Donald Shirley was a child prodigy, Russian-trained, and imbued with a

dignity that suffered under the shortening of his name to “Don” by his record label. The film’s greatest transformation comes from Mortensen, who put on 25 pounds before the film began and added another 20 while playing Tony Vallelonga, aka Tony Lip. His son Nick Vallelonga wrote the script, holding off until after Don Shirley had died, as requested. It’s a restraint that Green Book plays with so well that the usually blasé Santa Barbara film audience couldn’t help but erupt with applause at film’s end. (JY) Paseo Nuevo The Lego Movie 2: The Second Part (106 mins., PG) It’s been five years since Duplo invaded Bricksburg, not yet a post-apocalyptic wasteland. Despite the dire circumstances, Emmet (Chris Pratt) remains irritatingly upbeat, unlike his friends.

Disliking his plucky demeanor, Mayhem from Systar System kidnaps Emmet’s friends. A rescue mission ensues. Elizabeth Banks, Tiffany Haddish, and Will Arnett also star.

Fairview (2D and 3D)/Fiesta 5

Miss Bala (104 mins., PG-13) Gina Rodriguez stars as Gloria in this action thriller directed by Catherine Hardwicke about a beauty-pageant contestant who gets kidnapped by a drug cartel and forced to smuggle laundered money across the border. In the end, Gloria must summon all her strength to escape. Anthony Mackie and Ismael Cruz Cordova also star.

Camino Real/Fiesta 5

➤ O On the Basis of Sex (120 mins., PG-13)

Public admiration for Associate Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg continues to grow exponentially as the octogenarian celebrates her 25th year on the U.S. Supreme Court. Fueled by the Academy Award– nominated documentary RBG, which debuted last May, Bader’s life is currently getting another cinematic telling in director Mimi Leder’s biopic On the Basis of Sex. The film focuses on Bader’s law school days and early cases as she navigates the blatant sexism of academia

Spider-Man: Into the SpiderVerse (117 mins., PG) Marvel Comics presents this computeranimated film in which Miles Morales (voiced by Shameik Moore) becomes Spider-Man and crosses paths with his counterparts from other dimensions in order to stop a threat to reality.

Stan & Ollie (97 mins., PG) Steve Coogan and John C. Reilly star as comedy duo Stan Laurel and Oliver Hardy, respectively, in this biopic that focuses on their 1953 music hall tour, their personal relationships, and their struggle to get another film made.

The Hitchcock

The Upside (125 mins., PG-13) Bryan Cranston, Kevin Hart, and Nicole Kidman star in this remake of the 2011 French film The Intouchables, which is based on the life of wealthy businessman Philippe Pozzo di Borgo, who became a quadriplegic following a paragliding accident.

Camino Real/Paseo Nuevo

O Vice

(132 mins., R)

Adam McKay’s Vice may be the most pornographic film of the year that has nothing to do with sex. One part biopic of former U.S. Vice President Dick Cheney (Christian Bale), one part satire of the past half century of American politics, Vice contains plenty of moments where one might be inclined to look away (and perhaps can’t). The film sutures an array of disturbing content, including footage from the 9/11 attacks, torture scenes from the “War on Terror,” and a lingering vision of an anesthetized Dick Cheney mid-heart transplant. The VP’s cold, dead heart lies on a metal slab; his chest cavity is empty, awaiting a fresh occupant. Even for those who might find this negative portrait of Cheney and his politics cathartic, watching Vice feels like vice indeed. Part of this emerges from Christian Bale’s convincing performance as Cheney. Other cast members provide equally stunning renderings.

Vice is intense, but it ultimately passes the litmus test of compelling biographical film: One walks out of the theater wanting to confirm whether multiple scenes were actual news footage. (KM) Metro 4

SUPER BUMMER BOWL

But There’s Always High School Sports!

NO-DOUBT GOAL: San Marcos goalkeeper Bryce Tomlinson can only leap and wave as a 19-yard free kick by Santa Barbara High’s Juan Carlos Torres swerves into the net.

The Bishop Diego Cardinals, winners of the Frontier League title—their first in two decades—play a home game in Division 7. Other boys’ teams in the soccer playoffs include Carpinteria, Laguna Blanca, and Cate.

Dos Pueblos won the Channel League girls’ soccer championship and opened the playoffs Wednesday against Flintridge Sacred Heart. Third-place Santa Barbara went into the wild-card round.

In basketball, Santa Barbara High’s championship teams will host first-round action (see Game of the Week) on Thursday and Friday. The San Marcos boys, runners-up to the Dons, were elevated to Division 1 by virtue of their 2A title last season, and they will open the playoffs on the road against Windward in Los Angeles. Dos Pueblos made the cut in the 3AA Division and will travel to Ventura on Friday.

It will be hard for the girls’ water polo teams of San Marcos and Dos Pueblos to surpass their success of 2018 — the Royals defeated the Chargers, 4-3, in a dramatic Division 1 final — but they are among the elite teams again. In playoff openers Thursday evening, the league champion Chargers host Corona Del Mar, and the Royals travel to Santa Ana Foothill. Santa Barbara had a Division 2 opener at Los Osos on Wednesday, while Carpinteria, co-champion of the Citrus League, was slated to host a wild-card team in Division 7.

Olympians, who participate in a mentorship program known as RISE Athletes.

Several hundred female athletes from area schools will attend the luncheon, and the public is invited ($30 adult, $15 child). It will take place at 11:30 a.m. at Earl Warren Showground’s Warren Hall. Reservations: sbart.org.

ATHLETES OF THE WEEK

PLAYOFF TIME: After exchanging 3-0 victories over each other, the boys’ soccer teams of Santa Barbara High and San Marcos will be mutually supportive when they open the CIF Southern Section playoffs on Thursday, February 7, at SMHS’s Warkentin Stadium. The Dons, defending Division 1 champions, will face Palos Verdes at 3 p.m., and the Royals will take on the Royal Highlanders in a Division 2 match at 5 p.m.

The Dons were motivated to atone for their one-sided defeat to San Marcos earlier in the season, and they erased the differential last Thursday when Juan Carlos Torres scored a pair of second-half goals, the latter on a brilliant free kick. The junior striker has scored 21 goals this year. “Special kids show up at special moments,” Santa Barbara coach Todd Heil said. The Dons celebrated their fourth consecutive Channel League championship, and the Royals showed they are capable of doing damage in their playoff division.

the U.S. women’s water polo team win a silver medal and two golds in the Olympic Games, will share the podium with Caroline Burckle, a bronze medalist in Olympic swimming, at the Santa Barbara Athletic Round Table’s annual National Girls & Women in Sports Luncheon on Monday, February 11.

GAUCHOS REBOUND: After their overtime defeat to visiting

UC Irvine last Thursday, I figured the UCSB men’s basketball team would be at risk of another loss at Hawai‘i 48 hours later.

Surprisingly, the Gauchos rolled to a 75-54 victory, the Rainbow Warriors’ worst home defeat as a member of the Big West Conference. Max Heidegger’s return to form gave UCSB a big boost.

The junior guard started hitting his threes and scored 20 points, as did freshman phenom Amadou Sow, who added 11 rebounds for the second double-double of his young career.

It’s crowded at the top of the Big West. UCSB will try to keep pace with Irvine and Cal State Fullerton on Saturday, when UC Davis visits the Thunderdome for a 9 p.m. ESPNU game.

Over in the Pac-12 Conference, Washington is on top by three games with a 9-0 record. That’s a Huskies team that the Gauchos were tied with in Seattle with a minute to play in December. n

S.B. ATHLETIC ROUND TABLE:

S

omebody must have spiked the Super Bowl with kryptonite. In an age of high-powered offenses, the Patriots and Rams produced the lowest-scoring NFL championship since 1949 (in the pre-Super Bowl era), when the Philadelphia Eagles blanked the Rams, 14-0.

“There’s a lot of bummed-out people,” said Kiki Garibay of the mood at his party in Carpinteria after New England’s 13-3 victory. The Rams fans were disappointed by the team’s performance and upset about an untimely holding penalty when L.A.’s Todd Gurley ran for an apparent first down in Patriots territory with the score tied 3-3 in the final quarter.

“It was a phantom call,” Garibay said, and CBS commentator Tony Romo agreed when the replay showed the alleged offender, center John Sullivan, was doing nothing out of the ordinary in the scuffling at the line of scrimmage.

L.A. partisans will get no sympathy from their New Orleans counterparts. The Santa Barbara chapter of “Who Dat Nation” took out an ad in the Independent declaring, “The Saints Were Robbed” by a notorious non-call that likely kept them out of the Super Bowl.

As it turned out, Sunday’s game might have benefited from having Drew Brees and the Saints challenging Tom Brady and the Patriots. L.A.’s third-year quarterback Jared Goff appeared not ready for primetime. Brady made the money play of the game, a 29-yard pass to Rob Gronkowski that set up the game’s only touchdown.

“I had a sleepless night” after the game, Garibay said, but on Monday, he was optimistic about the future of the youthful Rams. “They got a taste of it,” he said. “They’ll know how to handle it next time.”

JOHN ZANT’S GAME OF THE WEEK 2/7-2/8: High School Basketball: CIF Playoffs Santa Barbara High’s girls and boys both finished the regular season as Channel League champions and will host first-round games in the CIF Southern Section playoffs.

The Dons boys (25-3) went undefeated in the league and are the top-seeded team in Division 3A. The girls (17-10), will take a seven-game winning streak to the challenging Division 1 playoffs.

FREE WILL ASTROLOGY by Rob Breszny ARIES (Mar. 21-Apr. 19): Climbing mountains has been a popu-

lar adventure since the 19th century, but there are still many peaks around the world that no one has ever ascended. They include the 24,449-foot-high Muchu Chhish in Pakistan, 23,691-foot Karjiang South in Tibet, and 12,600-foot Sauyr Zhotasy on the border of China and Kazakhstan. If there are any Aries mountaineers reading this horoscope who have been dreaming about conquering an unclimbed peak, 2019 will be a great time to do it, and now would be a perfect moment to plan or launch your quest. As for the rest of you Aries, what’s your personal equivalent of reaching the top of an unclimbed peak?

TAURUS (Apr. 20-May 20): Eminem’s song “Lose Yourself ” was

a featured track in the movie 8 Mile, and it won an Academy Award for Best Original Song in 2003. The creator himself was not present at the Oscar ceremony to accept his award, however. He was so convinced his song would lose that he stayed home. At the moment that presenter Barbra Streisand announced Eminem’s triumph, he was asleep in front of the TV with his daughter, who was watching cartoons. In contrast to him, I hope you will be fully available and on the scene for the recognition or acknowledgment that should be coming your way sometime soon.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20): While enjoying its leisure time, the

the phenomenon is “sunshower,” but folklore provides other terms. Hawaiians may call it “liquid sunshine” or “ghost rain.” Speakers of the Tangkhul language in India imagine it as “the wedding of a human and spirit.”

Some Russians refer to it as “mushroom rain,” since it’s thought to encourage the growth of mushrooms.

Whatever you might prefer to call it, Cancerian, I suspect that the foreseeable future will bring you delightful paradoxes in a similar vein. And in my opinion, that will be very lucky for you, since you’ll be in the right frame of mind and spirit to thrive amidst just such situations.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): A study by the Fidelity financial

services company revealed that in 43 percent of all couples, neither partner has an accurate knowledge of how much money the other partner earns. Meanwhile, research by the National Institute of Health concludes that among heterosexual couples, 36 percent of husbands misperceive how frequently their wives have orgasms. I bring this to your attention in order to sharpen your focus on how crucial it is to communicate clearly with your closest allies. I mean, it’s rarely a good idea to be ignorant about what’s going on with those close to you, but it’ll be an especially bad idea during the next six weeks.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): Torre Mayor is one of the tallest

peregrine falcon glides around at 50 miles per hour.

But when it’s motivated by the desire to eat, it may swoop and dart at a velocity of 220 miles per hour.

Amazing! In accordance with your astrological omens, Gemini, I propose that we make the peregrine falcon your spirit creature for the next three weeks. I suspect you will have extraordinary speed and agility and focus whenever you’re hunting for exactly what you want. So here’s a crucial question: what exactly do you want?

skyscrapers in Mexico City. When workers finished its construction in 2003, it was one of the world’s most earthquake-proof buildings, designed to hold steady during an 8.5-level temblor. Over the course of 2019, Virgo, I’d love to see you erect the metaphorical equivalent of that unshakable structure in your own life.

The astrological omens suggest that doing so is quite possible. And the coming weeks will be an excellent time to launch that project or intensify your efforts to manifest it.

WEEK OF FEBRUARY 7

when he performs his music. How did he select that alias? He used an online random name generator created by the rap group Wu-Tang Clan. I tried the same generator and got “Fearless Warlock” as my new moniker. You might want to try it yourself, Libra. The coming weeks will be an excellent time to add layers to your identity and expand your persona and mutate your self-image. The generator is here: tinyurl.com/ yournewname. (P.S.: If you don’t like the first one you’re offered, keep trying until you get one you like.)

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): Leonardo da Vinci’s painting Salvator Mundi sold for $450 million in 2017. Just 12 years earlier, an art collector had bought it for $10,000. Why did its value increase so extravagantly? Because in 2005, no one was sure it was an authentic da Vinci painting.

It was damaged and had been covered with other layers of paint that hid the original image. After extensive efforts at restoration, the truth about it emerged.

I foresee the possibility of a comparable, if less dramatic, development in your life during the next ten months, Scorpio. Your work to rehabilitate or renovate an underestimated resource could bring big dividends.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): We can behold colors because of specialized cells in our eyes called cones. Most of us have three types of cones, but a few rare people have four.

This enables them to see far more hues than the rest of us. Are you a tetrachromat, a person with super-vision?

Whether you are or not, I suspect you will have extra powerful perceptual capacities in the coming weeks.

According to my analysis of the astrological omens, you will be able to see more than you usually do. The world will seem brighter and deeper and more vivid.

I urge you to deploy your temporary superpower to maximum advantage.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): There are two kinds of minor, boring

little tasks. One is when you’re attending to a detail that’s not in service to a higher purpose; the other is when you’re attending to a detail that is a crucial step in

the process of fulfilling an important goal. An example of the first might be when you try in vain to scour a permanent stain on a part of the kitchen counter that no one ever sees. An example of the second is when you download an update for an existing piece of software so your computer works better and you can raise your efficiency levels as you pursue a pet project. The coming weeks will be an excellent time to keep this distinction in mind as you focus on the minor, boring little tasks that are crucial steps in the process of eventually fulfilling an important goal.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): Can you sit on your own head? Not

many people can. It requires great flexibility. Before comedian Robin Williams was famous, he spontaneously did just that when he auditioned for the role of the extraterrestrial immigrant Mork, the hero of the TV sitcom Mork and Mindy. The casting director was impressed with Williams’s odd but amusing gesture and hired him immediately. If you’re presented with an opportunity sometime soon, I encourage you to be inspired by the comedian’s ingenuity. What might you do to cinch your audition, to make a splashy first impression, to convince interested parties that you’re the right person?

PISCES (Feb. 19-Mar. 20): Twitter wit Notorious Debi Hope advises us, “Before you diagnose yourself with depression or low self-esteem, first make sure that you are not, in fact, just surrounded by assho--s.” That’s wise counsel for you to keep in mind during the next three weeks. Let me add a few corollaries. First, stave off any temptation you might have to believe that others know what’s good for you better than you do. Second, figure out what everyone thinks of you and aggressively liberate yourself from their opinions. Third, if anyone even hints at not giving you the respect you deserve, banish them for at least three weeks.
