EDUCATION

GOLETA West Wind Drive-In, a favorite movie staple for Goleta families and beyond, closed on 4/19, according to its Facebook site. The theater had hosted a special event only the night before, offering free movies and a live band in a Customer Appreciation Night. Attempts to reach West Wind’s parent company, Syufy Enterprises of San Rafael, California, were unsuccessful.

EDUCATION

PUSHBACK: Concerned parents convened Monday night (below) to rally against Santa Barbara Unified School District’s move to replace the popular GATE program at Washington Elementary. Principal Christina Giguiere (top left) and Assistant Superintendent of Elementary Education Raul Ramirez (center) got an earful from the crowd, which included John Millei (right), who argued that the district had handled the issue poorly.

Parents Fight to Save GATE

Santa Barbara High School Multimedia and Arts Design (MAD) Academy Director Dan Williams was placed on paid administrative leave on 4/18, pending an investigation. The district is restricted from sharing additional information because the issue is a confidential personnel matter. Assistant Principal Matt Stockton, AJ Henning, and Assistant Superintendent John Becchio will be leading the academy for the time being.

by Blanca Garcia he Gifted and Talented Education (GATE) program at Washington Elementary School will remain as-is for the coming school year, announced Raul Ramirez, Santa Barbara Unified School District Assistant Superintendent of Elementary Education, at Tuesday night’s school board meeting.The topic was on the agenda only as a discussion item but was acted on after heavy backlash from parents and school boardmembers.

For more than a decade, Washington has offered a magnet classroom in which only GATE-identified students are admitted to receive specialized education. The program is wildly popular and draws many transfers, mostly from Roosevelt, Monroe, and Peabody elementary schools. District administrators had decided to do away with the self-contained model at Washington and instead disperse GATE-identified students throughout classrooms in small clusters, as do the other eight elementary schools in the district. Parents were notified April 11 via email of the changes and immediately took up arms to defend the existing program.

About 70 parents showed up to a Mondayevening meeting held at Washington and about 40 parents made their way to Tuesday’s school board meeting to voice dismay about the changes. Monday’s meeting was charged with emotion and had parents speaking out of turn, demanding answers well into the night from district and school administrators.

Tuesday’s meeting heard 27 public comments from parents and one GATE studen; all but one parent were in support of maintaining the magnet classroom.

After hearing from parents and Ramirez, school boardmembers largely sympathized with parents who had made life decisions, including turning down job offers and purchasing homes near Washington, in

Of the boardmembers who — BOARDMEMBER LAURA CAPPS spoke, all were in favor of revisiting the decision to do away with magnet classrooms. “We should be expanding demographic makeup of the classrooms GATE,” said Boardmember Laura Capps, would remain in place for 4th, 5th, and 6th who also talked about building the number grade, projecting the perception of an uneven of GATE-certified teachers.

School District Concerned About de Facto Segregation

Another mountain lion was sighted in a residential area, this time on Palomino Road on 4/21, about a mile from the border of Los Padres National Forest. Bruce Worster was home Sunday morning when he saw the big cat calmly poised on his back porch. “At first I thought it was a bobcat, and then I realized it was four times as large as any bobcat I’ve seen,” he said. It was the first time he’d seen a mountain lion on his property. Earlier this month, an adult mountain lion was found roaming the 700 block of Laguna Street. After an exhaustive search, police say the cat disappeared into the neighborhood.

LAW & DISORDER Celebrity chef Lawrence Forgione was found guilty of misdemeanor vehicular manslaughter. Forgione struck and killed 90-year-old Gilbert Ramirez on February 24, 2018, when he drove through a red light at the mid-block crosswalk on State Street between Cota and Haley streets. Forgione opted for a jury trial when he turned down a plea bargain that would have included 30 days in jail. Forgione is now possibly facing a 12-month maximum jail sentence. Ramirez’s son Armando Ramirez said the family is not looking for maximum sentencing. “I requested 30 days, thinking he’d serve 10 or 15,” said Ramirez. “I just wanted him to … sit behind bars, and for it to have a small impact, for him to sit through that.” n APRIL 25, 2019

The extent of her generosity may never be known, many said, as it encompassed so many people and organizations. And Schuyler’s choice to participate meant a project would succeed. As an advocate for women, Schuyler was honored for her work with Planned Parenthood and Domestic Violence Solutions. With her husband, Barry Schuyler, a UCSB Environmental Studies professor who died in 2011, Schuyler advocated for and supported the establishment of the Douglas Family Preserve, Ellwood Mesa, and the Sedgwick Reserve, among numerous other natural or wild places. She helped Fairview Gardens become the Center for Urban Agriculture and the Maritime Museum settle into Santa

Barbara. Theater groups like The Granada and Ensemble all knew her philanthropy.

Schuyler grew up in Altadena and La Jolla, and she graduated from Stanford University in 1949 with a teaching credential. An accomplished rider who trained her first horse at age 8, many of Schuyler’s post-graduation years were spent on horseback as a camp counselor and at Midland School in the Santa Ynez Valley. She rode with the Sage Hens for 50 years. Despite a partially paralyzing stroke in 2009, Schuyler remained active though wheelchair bound, attending two to three events and meetings daily. At an event in February for Wildling Museum, Schuyler, whose grandparents were good friends with John Muir and whose uncle would hike with Ansel Adams in the Sierras, was awarded the Wilderness Spirit Award, just one of the many accolades she received during her lifetime of —Jean Yamamura giving back.

Supremes Weigh Citizenship Question

R

oughly 15 percent of the population of Santa Barbara County is made up of undocumented residents, one of the highest percentages statewide. And if they avoid the upcoming Census because of a citizenship question, it could cost the county upward of $6 million in annual funding. The decision on whether or not to include the question is currently underway. The U.S. Supreme Court heard arguments Tuesday about why it should or should not be added.

The case arose after more than two dozen states and cities, including California, filed lawsuits to try to remove the question.

National news sources report that the justices appear split, with the majority in favor of allowing the question. The Census Bureau says it needs a final ruling by June so it can begin printing the Census on schedule.

There is consensus that adding the question will lead to an undercount. Not only will it dissuade undocumented folk, but it will also discourage mixed-status families from filling it out, said Lucas Zucker, policy and communications director with Central Coast Alliance United for a Sustainable

Economy (CAUSE). Undocumented citizens are not worried without reason. Census data was used during WWII to aid the federal government in locating American citizens of Japanese descent to fill incarceration camps.

“We should not jeopardize the accuracy of the U.S. Census,” said Congressmember Salud Carbajal, critical of the citizenship inquiry. “Many immigrants who are already living in fear of deportation under the current administration will not participate due to concerns the information provided will be used against them.”

The Census determines the number of representatives each state gets in Congress and the amount of federal funding local governments get for public schools, public parks, and programs such as Medicaid, Head Start, and the National School Lunch Program. The county, in partnership with the Santa Barbara Foundation, created a Complete Count Steering Committee to ensure that every person is counted. “Even if folks are citizens, you are impacted by an undercount,” Zucker said.

RENTAL EMPIRE: Dario Pini has more than 100 properties in Santa Barbara County, many of which have been under court-ordered management for the past year; two are just hitting the permit stage to fix code violations.

Nearly 2,000 Slumlord Violations Remain One Year After Trial

A

by Jean Yamamura

year after the end of the trial that pulled eight of landlord Dario Pini’s properties out of his hands and over to the authority of William Hoffman, efforts to bring the properties up to code have yet to transpire in a significant way.

Nearly 2,000 health and safety violations remain to be fixed, though dozens have been remedied. Pini has paid more than $2 million toward the effort so far. But building permits must be finalized before real construction begins.

‘

not require an upfront payment of the first month’s rent, as well as the last month’s rent and a deposit of several hundreds of dollars. He doesn’t rely on references or credit scores either. A tenant who’d been homeless with his dog until two years ago sang Pini’s praises, and he was worried that his apartment might become a victim of court mandate. Already he’d been told to take down his hammock from a rotted structural post.

Replacing that rotted wood at Pini’s Mission Street apartments is part of about 160 violations to be cured by the upcoming repairs, for which Pini has paid close to $600,000—he’s paid just over that amount for the bid to fix his Arrellaga Street property. The bids were approved by the court in September and funded in January. Inadequate heating, ineptly installed electrical wiring, severe water damage, broken plaster inside and out, and failing ceilings are on the lengthy list. The cockroaches, bedbugs, and termites were fumigated in October.

In a recent phone interview, Dario Pini said he thought all the work would be done by this point. He said with some irritation that the receiver [Hoffman] has made so much money that he has no incentive to finish. Pini stressed that it was incorrect that he had many millions to spend on the work, and that his attorney had spoken out of turn on that topic during the court’s appointment of the receiver. It’s expensive to run his business, Pini added, especially when the receiver is taking his rent income. Pini said he feels like they were trying to bankrupt him, and he now had to face an unfair competition lawsuit.

City attorney John Doimas explained that the unfair competition lawsuit was the civil penalty phase of the case. The city’s theory, said Doimas, was that the longstanding code violations not only were health problems but also allowed Pini to retain money other landlords used to maintain and improve their properties. As much as $2,500-$5,000 could be assessed for each violation.

As for the work progress so far, Doimas observed that much of the year’s battle has been in the courtroom, but now the work is n being done out in the field.

That 35 people lived in four apartments is a symptom both of the overcrowding that Pini allowed and the high cost of housing in Santa Barbara.

’

The permitting work is ongoing for Hoffman, a property receiver out of San Diego.

From the court record, months of delay and expense occurred because Hoffman has had to file legal papers to get payments from Pini or property lenders for fumigation and for ongoing maintenance and payments. At the 75 units at the eight properties, about 17 tenants have received an eviction notice, mostly for not paying rent. About seven others have received quit notices related to the construction or condition of their apartment, mostly toxic mold issues. That 35 people lived in four apartments is a symptom both of the overcrowding that Pini allowed — city inspectors found people living in closets and living rooms — and the high cost of housing in Santa Barbara.

Pini’s rents are arguably the lowest in town. A recent scan of two-bedrooms for let online showed the $1,950 some of Pini’s tenants pay is $400 dollars less than the nearest competitor. Low rent is only one reason many tenants come to his defense. Pini does

s rents rise and online shopping grows, State Street businesses have suffered the consequences, causing city leaders to brainstorm new ways to get people out to invigorate commerce. What started as a unique approach from City Administrator Nina Johnson ended in a lighthearted and prosperous event shared by Santa Barbarans and visitors alike. At the Highway 101 underpass, artists and deejays kicked off Experiment Weekend on April 19 with eclectic videos projected onto the tunnel walls and music to supplement the vibe.

Combining the popularity of events like Fiesta and Summer Solstice with the popularity of the Funk Zone, the event drew hundreds on opening night. The hubbub of laughter and conversation arose from the crowd making themselves comfortable in the unlikely central location. The effect spilled up the street, as restaurants experienced long lines.

Saturday’s events, which lasted from noon to 10 p.m., prohibited vehicles on the first two blocks of State Street between Gutierrez and Cota. Visitors casually walked through the temporary pedestrian corridor, enjoying live music, basketball courts, a food truck, a Ping-Pong table, outdoor seating, and a wine and beer garden. All the merchants interviewed reported increased sales on Saturday. Mini Mart Groceries experienced a 15 percent increase in sales, and owner John Chaves added, “It was a good crowd.

I liked the atmosphere, not at all rowdy like Fiesta.”

The weekend also united the community in a low-key ambience previously absent during downtown events sans automobiles.

“This is what we’ve needed,” said one local, noting the success of other cities that have made pedestrians a priority in attracting business. City Councilmember Randy Rowse, who was skeptical of hosting the event on a holiday weekend, didn’t attend the festivities but said, “In terms of public participation, I’d guess you’d call it a success.”

He also expressed support for an eventual underpass project but was unsure of how representative the weekend’s events were of that vision. Johnson reflected, “The weekend was full of surprises. I was really happy to see the huge turnout and diversity of all the —Skyler DePaoli people who attended.”

anta Barbara’s wastewater treatment facility has officially rebranded as El Estero Water Resources Center in a move to change public perceptions about the reuse of wastewater. The facility, previously known as El Estero Wastewater Treatment Plant, celebrated its name change this week with a host of speakers and a tour on Monday. “With ‘Water Resources Center’ we’re changing the

narrative, pointing to the fact that there’s nothing ‘wasteful’ about what we do,” said Mayor Cathy Murillo.

This year, El Estero received $34.1 million in loans from the Environmental Protection Agency’s Clean Water State Revolving Fund to upgrade its facilities. The plant converts six million gallons of sewage water a day into recycled water for irrigating landscapes and —Amarica Rafanelli flushing toilets.

NEWS of the WEEK CONT’D COUNTY

LOOSE CHANGE: Santa Maria’s Growing Grounds Farm, which helps people in recovery, is asking county beancounters for $150,000 to stay afloat.

Budget Dust for Dirt Therapy Supervisors Get Earful of Good News on Mental Health

by Nick Welsh or county supervisors, it’s become a rite of spring. Every April— April without fail—the supervisors find themselves besieged by Santa Barbara’s increasingly well-organized community of mental-health activists, passionately demanding some small amount of money for some micro-program that would otherwise sink. It’s all part of the supervisors’ annual dress rehearsal for the multimillion-dollar budget decisions they have to make in June.

This year, the star of this show was a farmbased program called Growing Grounds Farm —little known outside Santa Maria—which every year pays about 50 severely mentally ill clients to get their hands dirty, working in the fields, growing flowers and vegetables, which are sold from the organization’s stand every Thursday. Technically, what Growing Grounds — which originated in San Luis Obispo County—offers is known as “horticultural therapy.” Frank Ricceri, who runs the program, prefers to call it “dirt therapy.” And all he’s asking for, he said, is “a little budget dust.”

Translated, Ricceri is asking the county supervisors to find $150,000 in the sock drawer of the $120 million the county’s Department of Behavioral Wellness will spend. Without it, Ricceri warned, his program — now experiencing waning support from private foundations—could spring a serious leak.

A couple of former clients addressed the supervisors directly, describing their past tailspins with depression, dysfunction, and attempted suicides. Both speakers credited the care they received at Growing Grounds for helping them turn their lives around. One, in fact, is currently employed by the Department of Behavioral Wellness. She declined to have her name used, citing the stigma people with serious mental-illness challenges face.

At Growing Grounds, she said, she was accepted with no such judgment. The staff was caring and compassionate, she said, but they also expected her to perform. Working in the soil brought her into contact with fresh air, sunshine, birds, and nature, she said. She worked with people in the same boat. It gave her a sense of accomplishment; it emboldened her to believe she could get a job. The more she did, the more confident she became. “I needed to be useful,” she said, “to connect with others.”

F

When she exceeded the three minutes allotted to speak, board chair Steve Lavagnino urged her to go on. “That won the award for the best public comment, ever,” Lavagnino gushed.

No board action was taken, but based on supervisors’ comments, the money will be found.

That was just one new program to win accolades in dealing with the needs of mentally ill people. The supervisors were urged by mental-health advocates to secure funding for a new co-response unit, which teams a mental-health crisis worker with a sworn deputy to deal with calls. The program began as a pilot project last fall. Earlier this year, it appeared it might not survive March because of staffing shortages within the Sheriff’s Office. It got a reprieve until June.

But the program got a big kiss from high-ranking administrator and former undersheriff Barney Melekian and county mental-health czar Alice Gleghorn. Melekian noted that of the 115 calls for service the co-response teams responded to, only four wound up in arrests. The other cases, he said, were diverted away from the criminal justice machine that too often puts mentally ill people behind bars.

This issue — the criminalization of mentally illpeople— ill has been designated a high priority by County Executive Mona Miyasato, who pointedly snatched Melekian up the second he announced his retirement from the Sheriff’s Office last year. Melekian, in a prior incarnation, had worked in Washington, D.C., lobbying Congress to improve law enforcement options for dealing with mentally ill people.

The past budget year, supervisors authorized funding to hire Dr. Cherylynn Lee to head the Sheriff’s Behavioral Sciences Unit, where she’s in charge of training all law enforcement personnel in the gentle art of de-escalation when confronting someone in the midst of a mental-health crisis. After Lee gave her presentation to the board, Supervisor Joan Hartmann stated, “I sleep better at night hearing about that program.”

Supervisor Peter Adam took exception, arguing that he has yet to see any data indicating how many people are actually getting better because of all the treatment they receive at government expense. n

Children of a Lesser Dog

DEAR LANDLORD: On occasion, Santa Barbara’s City Council flows with all the svelte precision of Ginger Rogers and Fred Astaire.

Other times, it careens like a pack of drunks

looking for a flight of stairs down which to fall. For the last two weeks, the council has deliberated over a just-cause eviction ordinance and other tenant protections. Their deliberations have definitely fallen into the latter camp.

Last week, the council voted in favor of a just-cause eviction protection ordinance—six to one. You might think that all was harmony.

But no. Councilmember Eric Friedman delivered a spectacularly agonized soliloquy in favor of other tenant protections instead.

He then voted for just cause anyway, even though he was furious that Kristen Sneddon —chair of the city’s ordinance committee— had added it to the menu of options at the last minute. He explained he could not not vote to protect the city’s most vulnerable residents.

At the same meeting last week, Councilmember Jason Dominguez beat the crap out of just cause as an empty rhetorical gesture that enabled supporters to feel good about themselves. He then proceeded to vote for it.

This week, Dominguez was all over the map again when considering a measure requiring landlords to offer tenants annual leases —thus providing renters the option of

having a modicum of price stability in a notoriously volatile housing market. Over the past

10 years, average rents for a two-bedroom apartment have increased by $1,000. Wages, I assure you, have not come close to keeping pace. This time, Dominguez opted to abstain from voting altogether, which means, regarding renter protections, he has been for, against, and neither.

Initially, I was bugged by all these votes. I worried the council was just reaching for a politically correct flag to wave. In embracing

cajoling and crying, the landlords gave the woman four months to get out instead of the two initially offered. On the way out the door, the landlord planted a kiss on this woman’s forehead. “A Judas kiss,” she called it. Had

the ordinance been in effect—the details have yet to be worked out—she could have gotten three to four months’ rent in relocation assistance instead.

Councilmember Randy Rowse, who

This week, I happened to talk with a 92-yearold woman who’d just been evicted. ... On the way out, the landlord planted a kiss on this woman’s forehead. just cause, the council was ignoring the recommendation of the task force the council

created to hash out possible tenant protections. That task force—made up of landlords and tenants’ activists— activists expressly rejected just cause, recommending instead mandatory lease and relocation assistance for tenants evicted through no fault of their own.

Funny thing. This week, I happened to talk with a 92-year-old woman who’d just been evicted after renting the same place for 20 years. She offered to pay $700 a month more if she could stay. The landlords said they needed her out to do renovations. After much

voted against just cause and who represents the grumpy older white male demographic into which I am slipping, rightfully objected that none of the other councilmembers mentioned a single fact to justify their yes vote.

That doesn’t mean such facts don’t exist. One need only ask.

The Legal Aid Foundation of Santa Barbara County handles almost nothing other than landlord–tenant disputes, almost all evictions. In 2015, Legal Aid handled 497 cases; last year, that number was 536. Last year, the Rental Mediation Task Force fielded 1,000 calls for service. Of these calls, 35 per-

cent involved evictions of some kind. Last year, landlords countywide filed 888 eviction actions in Superior Court.

No doubt, some of these tenants got what they deserved. No doubt others did not. Landlords say it will take three to five times as long to get rid of problem tenants with just cause.

They object that the burden of proof will now fall on them to justify their evictions. Landlords will screen their tenants more carefully now, they warn; those with marginal histories will have a harder time finding housing.

It’s a plausible-sounding argument. The problem is that’s what the landlords always say. I say this having attended many of the task force hearings. Landlord representatives first insisted there is no evidence to indicate mass evictions are happening. Then, they argue any proposed solution will only make the nonexistent problem even worse. I have heard them even deny that vacancy rates are not all that tight.

In reality, many tenants will never contest their evictions even with just cause. Some will. It might well be an added burden for the landlords. It won’t, however, be the end of the world. And since when did “due process” become a four-letter word?

Fred Astaire and Ginger Rogers would have been nice. But the first major tenant protections in 35 years? Sometimes you have to stumble before you can dance.

Elaine Schmalberg

Kenneth Earl Skiff 09/24/44-03/02/19

On April 1, 2019 we lost our beloved mother, grandmother, and great-grandmother Elaine.

Her passing was peaceful and she was surrounded by her loved ones. Elaine was excited about her upcoming 90th birthday on April 15th and losing her was unexpected as we were planning a big celebration.

Elaine lived in New Jersey and the San Fernando Valley before moving to Santa Barbara in 1996, and was happy to make this her permanent home. She was an exercise enthusiast and would walk 7 miles per day 7 days a week in her younger years. Even when she needed a walker she could be seen on her daily walk around La Cumbre Plaza for many years. She enjoyed seeing the world through travelling, loved riding her stationary bike, was an avid reader, and was enriched by attending OA and AACA meetings.

Being with family and friends was always important to her, and she would greet everyone with a warm and welcoming smile.

After the Jan 2018 debris flow she moved in with her daughter, Andrea, and her son-in-law Dana in Montecito.

Her daughter and granddaughter, Suzanne, decided to care for her at home as long as possible, and these were happy times with three generations spending quality time together.

Elaine was preceded in death by her husband Harold Schmalberg in 1994. She leaves behind her daughter, Andrea EltingeNewquist and her two sons Cal and Gedalya Schmalberg. She has 10 grandchildren and six great-grandchildren.

We are grateful to The Friendship Center in Montecito and the amazing team at Assisted Hospice for their care and support. Thank you to the staff at Mission Villa for their tender care during Elaine’s final five days following her unexpected diagnosis and journey with cancer.

Chesley Hill

11/25/39-04/04/19

Chesley D. Hill, of Santa Barbara, California, passed away peacefully on April 4, 2019, after a long battle with Alzheimer’s.

Her exuberant spirit survived until the end as she was dancing and singing until her final days. Chesley spent 35 years as an elementary teacher at Tif Tiffany Park Elementary in Renton (Seattle), Washington. She loved educating with passion, singing, playing music, camping, her Seahawks (go “Beast Mode”) and her beloved cat, Henry. She was known for walking Henry on a leash around the neighborhood.

Her favorite stories included telling people that the only other “Chesley” she had ever heard of was Chesley “Sully” Sullenberger, who landed the plane on the Hudson, and her adventures sailing on the Lady Washington.

Born November 25, 1939, in Baltimore Maryland, Chesley was the daughter of the late William Hill and the late Frances (Ruben) Hill. She is survived by her son, Eric Burkhardt of Santa Barbara, and his two children, Brigette Burkhardt and Brandon Burkhardt, both of Santa Barbara, along with her sister, Sharon Scott, of Greenville, South Carolina.

A Celebration of Life will be held at 3:00 p.m. Saturday, April 27, 2019 at Tucker’s Grove Park, Area 5 (by the dog park). A later Celebration of Life will be held in Seattle in May.

What Now?

Jacqueline J. Stevens 08/03/35-04/21/19

S

alud Carbajal believes the explosive investigative report about Russian interference in the 2016 presidential election contains “very damning and very clear evidence” that Donald Trump engaged in obstruction of justice.

But he’s not calling for the president to be impeached.

“I’m reserving my judgment until we have turned over every stone,” Santa Barbara’s Democratic congressmember told the Independent.

Salud’s “yes-but” comments on Special Counsel Robert Mueller’s report not only reflect one man’s natural political caution but also point to a broader strategic and ethical debate among Democrats over what to do about its findings.

Trump and his supporters have shouted from the rooftops that Mueller’s report proves there was “no collusion” between his 2016 campaign and Russia and provides him “complete and total exoneration.”

It does not.

With awkward legalese, the special prosecutor made clear that Trump’s behavior in the scandal was improper: “If we had confidence after a thorough investigation of the facts that the President clearly did not commit obstruction of justice, we would so state,” he wrote. “Based on the facts and the applicable legal standards we are unable to reach that judgment.”

However, the report added, the investigation was subject to a Justice Department guideline that a sitting president cannot be indicted — regardless of evidence he could be.

Mueller signaled that further action on the painstaking evidence in the 448-page report is up to Congress: “Congress has authority to prohibit a President’s corrupt use of his authority in order to protect the integrity of the administration of justice … our constitutional system of checks and balances and the principle that no person is above the law.”

Now, a progressive House faction is trying to advance an impeachment resolution, the equivalent of indicting a president for what the Constitution calls “high crimes and misdemeanors.” Speaker Nancy Pelosi and other party leaders, however, insist it would be a mistake to do so.

Carbajal told us that before Dems consider the step, the House should hear from Mueller directly and also obtain complete copies of the report without the many redactions of the version released by Attorney General William Barr, who’s been criticized for soft-pedaling the evidence with pro-Trump spin.

Mindful that the Republican’s partisan impeachment of Bill Clinton backfired in 1998, he added that the process should be bipartisan: “It doesn’t matter what Democrats do,” he said. “Why put the whole country through it if it’s going to be a partisan exercise?”

FROM RUSSIA WITH LOVE: Volume I of the report describes Russia’s effort to sway the election, and its interactions with the Trump campaign.

Trump’s “no collusion” triumphalism is based largely on a single sentence: “Ultimately the investigation did not establish that the [Trump] Campaign coordinated or conspired with the Russian government in its election interference activities.”

However, Mueller not only indicted dozens of individuals during the investigation but also pre-

After Special Counsel Report, Dems Grapple with Way Forward

Salud Carbajal

sented reams of testimonial and documentary evidence that Russia interfered in “sweeping and systematic” fashion, through a “targeted operation that by early 2016 favored candidate Trump and disparaged candidate [Hillary] Clinton.” He also showed how the campaign welcomed the help.

In the end, Mueller said, there was insufficient evidence to prove a “conspiracy” between Russia and Trump, the federal crime at hand; he noted that “collusion,” Trump’s preferred word, is not a crime and legally irrelevant.

OBSTRUCTION PRODUCTION: Volume II focuses on obstruction of justice, offering evidence of 10 instances when Trump personally sought to undermine or stop the investigation, firing the FBI director, commanding aides to lie, and directly ordering the special counsel’s firing, among other actions.

Beyond the Russia campaign interference material, it is Trump’s repeated efforts to thwart the probe that the House almost certainly would pursue in any impeachment effort.

Laurence Tribe, a famed liberal legal scholar, who previously advised Democrats to go slow on impeachment, said after the report’s release that Volume II “provides a perfect roadmap for impeaching this president for obstruction of justice.”

CIVICS VS. POLITICS: For some Democrats, the sworn duty to uphold the Constitution collides with political calculation.

Although Dems control the House — and the power to pass an “Articles of Impeachment” indictment — the Republican-dominated Senate would conduct the trial, and the chances are slim to none that Trump would be convicted.

That fact, coupled with how impeachment would further divide a bitterly polarized nation, unnerves many Democrats, particularly those just elected in the wave that flipped many purple swing districts previously held by Republicans.

Others, like Senator Elizabeth Warren, say partisan concerns should be put aside, however: “The severity of this misconduct demands that elected officials in both parties set aside political considerations and do their constitutional duty.”

“Impeachment is likely to be unsuccessful,” acknowledged California Representative Adam Schiff, chair of the House Intelligence Committee, who has long assailed Trump over Russia, on ABC. “It may be that we undertake an impeachment nonetheless.”

Jacqueline J. Stevens, age 83, beloved mother, grandmother, aunt, and friend, passed away peacefully on Easter Night, April 21, 2019, surrounded by family and after a lengthy illness.

Jackie was born in Oakland, California, in 1935, the youngest of two daughters to Theresa and John N. Bigelow. She grew up in Los Angeles, attending St. Paul’s Elementary School, St. Mary’s Academy High School, and Mount Saint Mary’s College, graduating with a Bachelor of Science degree in nursing in 1957.

After meeting Ronald C. Stevens on a blind date, the couple married in 1959 and settled briefly in Los Angeles before moving to Santa Barbara in 1962. They centered their family life around their Catholic faith as active members of Saint Raphael, San Roque, and Saint Barbara parishes.

Jackie recommitted herself to her love of nursing when her four children reached school age, working as a school nurse at San Roque School and San Marcos High School and later as a member of the staff at the office of Dr. Joseph DiBartolomeo. She also worked for two home-care nursing services in Santa Barbara, Kimberly Quality Care and the Family Service Agency. She kept her nursing credentials active well into her retirement. For the past 16 years she volunteered with the spiritual care department at Cottage Hospital, including weekly visits to the hospital as a Eucharistic Minister for the Santa Barbara Mission. She was also active as a volunteer for many area organizations, including Court Appointed Special Advocates (CASA) of Santa Barbara County.

She will be remembered for her deep faith, devotion to family and friends, and her kind, generous spirit.

Jackie was predeceased by her husband, Ronald, her sister, Maureen Smith, and her daughter, Peggy Stevens Dionne. She is survived by her three sons and their spouses: John, Jim (Liza), and Matt (Jean); and her four grandchildren: Marshall and Benjamin Stevens; and Maya INDEPENDENT.COM

and Ellie Lin-Stevens.

The family would like to thank the many doctors, nurses, and staff members at the RidleyTree Cancer Center, Cottage Hospital, and Visiting Nurse & Hospice Care at Serenity House for their dedication and care.

Services will be held at the Santa Barbara Mission: Vigil & Rosary at 7 p.m., Thursday, April 25, in the Santa Barbara Mission’s Serra Chapel (entrance through the Porter’s Office), and Funeral Mass in the Santa Barbara Mission at 10 a.m., Friday, April 26. Graveside services to follow funeral at Calvary Cemetery.

In lieu of flowers, please make contributions in her name to the Cancer Foundation of Santa Barbara, 300 W. Pueblo, Santa Barbara 93102; and Catholic Charities, 609 E. Haley Street, Santa Barbara 93103.

Peggy Dommeyer Sosa

On Saturday April 6, 2019 Peggy took God’s Hand and went Home. Peggy was a loving, gentle and giving person.

She was and is a faithful servant of God Mathew 25:23. She will continue to be our Prayer Warrior.

hen debating issues, exaggerations and omissions are tempting. Case in point: an op-ed in the Independent opposing the Mission Creek Bridge project. Four objections were made: (1) Greed underlies city (grant money) and Natural History Museum (more visitors) proposals; (2) Project recommendations would “replace” the bridge; (3) The bridge is already safe; (4) Records show no serious accidents throughout the canyon corridor.

Arguing against bridge modifications is one thing. Claiming greed, however, is a stretch. For years, city and museum participants, canyon residents, and area organizations have sought to improve the canyon’s emergency evacuation corridor and address vehicular and pedestrian safety issues, including on the bridge. That’s not greed. These are legitimate concerns.

Claiming the project would “replace” the bridge is an overstatement. I’ve followed canyon issues for years and have never heard anyone advocate replacing it. Widening it to include bike lanes and updated standards, yes. Curving or bending part of the “stegosaurus” wall to accommodate a walkway, yes. Replacing the bridge, no.

That the bridge survived the 1925 earthquake and is structurally sound is offered as further evidence for leaving things alone.

Surviving one earthquake is no guarantee it will survive another, possibly larger one nearly a century later.

The author cites police and sheriff records showing “no deaths or serious accidents throughout the corridor.” In fact, there have been several major accidents along the wall. CHP records contain some of them. Four times in recent years, Edison poles astride the wall have been felled by skidding cars. Four times, cars have hit the

“stegosaurus” wall, collapsing it inward, most recently on March 21. That’s just for starters.

Maintaining the character of a gracefully constructed bridge while acknowledging the changing demographics of the canyon corridor requires, at a minimum, an accurate assessment of the situation.

Myth information isn’t helpful.

have lived in Mission Canyon for 50 years and worked at the Museum of Natural History for 45. The following observations and opinions are my own, not intended to represent the museum’s position regarding the bridge.

The vast majority of drivers do not yield right-of-way to pedestrians crossing Mission Canyon Road toward Puesta del Sol due to very poor sight lines with trees at the edge of the curved roadway. On several occasions, cars have crashed into the corner of the stegosaurus wall, sometimes knocking out the utility pole.

The white line delineating the edge of the lane on the west side has been obliterated by cars driving over it, close to the edge of the bridge. This is clear evidence of danger to pedestrians walking to or from the Mission on that side of the road.

I don’t want to see the bridge widened.

What we need is a safe pedestrian walkway on the west side, clearly visible crosswalks, and better sight lines in the vicinity of Rocky Nook Park and the Woman’s Club on the east.

I attended many community meetings about this and thought that a reasonable plan had been devised for a west-side pedestrian walkway. If transportation grant funding requires replacing the bridge, I say we should step back and look elsewhere for funds to provide the most appropriate, minimally invasive solution for our needs.

Help! Fire!

I

live in both Idaho and Santa Barbara.

Idaho has a fire mitigation program in which experts go to individual homes, offering advice. To do the same in Santa Barbara, the Fire Safe Council says I must organize a group for a grant request.

My suggestion is to educate all students, from 3rd grade to 12th grade. Private schools, foreign-language schools, and colleges and universities should be involved. I have met with the county superintendent of schools and County Fire’s education officer and contacted both the S.B. City and County fire chiefs. I am told to contact the State Department of Education in Sacramento.

Everyone discusses hardening our homes, but we need to “harden our state” because 98 percent of our fires are started by “human error.” It is logical and reasonable to educate not only residents but visitors as well. I’ve asked the Santa Barbara Association of Realtors to present a program to the California Association of

CD SPE CI A L

letters cont’d Realtors to add information on fire starts to each purchasers’ packet. I have called the Newcomers, with no response as of yet.

Our property insurance rates have risen, with some insurance companies no longer insuring in this state. I am exceedingly fire weary, having been a resident since 1962 and a homeowner since 1970 and enduring 13 major conflagrations. I, and many others, would appreciate more education and, therefore, more protection.

I cannot do it all by myself. I am pleading for assistance.

was saddened to read Nick Welsh’s tribute to Bruce Rittenhouse. We had some history during my tenure as landscape architect and park planner for the city, not all of it pleasant. But his devotion to the kids on the Westside and his commitment to Bohnett Park won me over. Most of all, I respected his passion and in-your-face, take-no-prisoners, unequivocal voice. Many was the time I’d contemplate how so much of the community seemed unconcerned with regard to Parks and Recreation projects, like the slow demise of Alice Keck Park Memorial Garden, and would ask, “Where are the rabid horticulturists? Where is our Bruce Rittenhouse?”

Pet Love Out of Control

pig named Princess wandered into a neighbor’s yard, and according to SFGate, the neighbor was asked by a police officer to keep the pig until the owner got there. Princess had been slaughtered before the owner arrived.

I love animals, but this is my “pet peeve.” Excuse the pun.

Had Princess lived in some California cities, she would have been allowed in some grocery stores if the owner said she was a “comfort pet.”

About eight months ago, I went to the Ralphs in Santa Barbara and saw an out-of-control Doberman pinscher licking the wrapped meat at the butcher shop. Two weeks ago, a “No Animals Allowed” sign at the store stated that “comfort pets” don’t qualify as working animals under the Disabilities Act. Apparently, people had complained. Recently, I went to Vons in Montecito, and I thought I was at the PetSmart.

Apparently, they didn’t get the message.

The point is that anyone can bring in a potbellied pig, chicken, mule, horse, or llama into some supermarkets, restaurants, and other places where they serve food as long as the animal wears a sign that states “Comfort Pet.” Some of these pets are being put inside shopping carts where other people put fruits and vegetables to bring home to families.

There are health and disability laws on the books that aren’t being enforced. —​Raul​Hernandez, S.B.

He is in fact alive and well in Sacramento, having abruptly left Santa Barbara in 1998. “It’s not nice to read you’re dead,” Champion said during a recent phone call, alerting the Independent of this mistake. “It was hard enough processing the news about Bruce, and then I heard it was me too who died.

Reefer Madness

voices

Warm season veggies and herbs arrive weekly thru summer.

Residents, Growers Unite Countywide to Fight Cannabis Coup down Carpinteria’s Cravens Lane, aka Cannabis Row, past the tall, green-draped chain-link fences, the skunk stench, the surveillance cameras, and security. Around the corner, I had seen an avocado orchard mowed down in two hours, verdant green acreage transformed into a moonscape, now home to Cresco, the billion-dollar cannabis player.

Then it hit me.

If you worked in Miami in the ’80s, like I did, you could feel it in the air, at the bank, and with your lawyer. A white blanket had settled over the county, corrupting even the sidewalks. “It’s in the collection plate when you go to church,” wrote T.D. Allman in Miami. “And the money in every purse, however coarse or dainty, is smeared with cocaine dust.”

Welcome to the new Santa Barbara — soon to be the Cannabis Capital of the Universe! — if the reigning Board of Supervisors have their way.

Ka-ching! Ka-ching! (Well, at least for them.)

Maybe you’re wondering how a Cannabis Coup came to be in Santa Barbara County—which hands out cannabis licenses like Halloween candy and is on track to be the #1 cannabis market in the state.

Former supervisor Janet Wolf, our Cannabis Cassandra, forever warned that the ordinance, written for all intents and purposes by the cannabis lobby, spelled Big Trouble.

But supervisors Das Williams and Steve Lavagnino, our own Doobie Brothers, went to the wall for it.

These days, Supervisor Joan Hartmann, along with the Planning Commission’s sole woman, Cecilia Brown, stand between us and full-on Reefer Madness.

Yes, of course, we backed legalization of marijuana!

But we didn’t vote to live in Humboldt County.

If you’re as confused as me — here’s what the experts tell us are the Five Biggest Fibs we’ve been spoon-fed: (1) The county can’t do anything to rein in violators unless they first hand them a cannabis permit —which makes as much sense as saying the cops can’t arrest the bank robbers until after they escape.

(2) We’re all going to be rolling in marijuana dough … except, gee, it didn’t work out that way. The panga boats keep coming in from Mexico with cheap dope, illegal grows are everywhere, and Forbes reports that a glut on the market keeps prices plunging. Oregon just threw out 80 percent of its cannabis crop. But trust us, say supes Williams, Lavagnino, and newcomer Gregg Hart (whose chief of staff, Mollie Culver, formerly headed up the Cannabis Business Council), we’re gonna get rich on weed.

(3) Really, it’s just an odor problem. Actually, no. Some locals and greenhouse workers cite respiratory ills they believe are caused by the compounds cannabis emits. At least one multimillion-dollar home facing a cannabis nursery has sat on the market for two years.

Breaking News Bulletin: Being linked to cannabis is a bad PR deal and one reason most counties in the state have banned cultivation.

(4) We can fix that odor. Maybe? The Ever-Bloom nursery by Carp High installed a Byers odor system, but students and neighbors, like Paul Eckstrom, say, “It still stinks!” Same complaints over at Howard School and the Boys & Girls Clubs.

That’s why smart pot farmers says it’s dumb to grow cannabis near densely populated areas — like S.B., with its half-million population (saying it grows best inland, as the ocean and sun create humidity, augmenting odors and molds). As is, the stench reaches Santa Claus and Padaro lanes, home to our best beaches and grandest residences.

But Supervisor Williams insisted on gifting 186 acres of the 1st District’s priceless Coastal Zone to cannabis growers.

(5) Really, it’s no different than the wine industry! No. Replacing foliage with exquisite green vineyards is not the same as clear-cutting land for football fields of 20-foot-tall white plastic hoops and greenhouses.

While pot today is 40-80 percent stronger than it was 10 years ago, warn the medics at Cottage Hospital who treat overdoses, really it’s not a drug. It’s the cure for cancer — and all else — but it’s not a drug.

Shhh! The cannabis lobby brooks no dissent. At a recent Planning Commission meeting, one cannabis grower likened complaints against the industry to anti-Semitism. Never mind that a healthy segment of the S.B. County Coalition for Responsible Cannabis (grassroots groups of residents, vintners, avocado growers, et al. in the five districts) are Jews.

You want some good news? Supervisor Peter Adam recently dissed the ordinance, doubting whether cannabis could coexist with our avocado and wine industries, without wreaking havoc on both, never mind tourism. “The right to swing one’s fist ends,” recited Adam, “where the other man’s nose begins.”

That makes two votes for sanity. Supervisor Gregg Hart says he’s considering being the crucial third vote.

Vintners, avocado growers, and residents swear they’ll sue and are weighing recalls and ballot initiatives like the folks in San Gabriel Valley, San Bernardino, and Riverside counties. And rumor has it that the California Coastal Commission is taking another look.

Until then, remember what the supes tell us — it’s not a drug — it’s no different than “garlic” or “broccoli.” Really.

PERFECT PLACE Understanding the 24,000-Acre Dangermond Preserve’s High Hopes and Huge Hurdles

by Matt Kettmann and Keith Hamm · Photos by Paul Wellman

“T

he last perfect place” is what many are calling the Jack and Laura Dangermond Preserve, the nearly 25,000-acre property that the billionaire tech moguls saved with a $165-million donation to The Nature Conservancy in December 2017.

The land — which extends roughly from Vandenberg Air Force Base to Hollister Ranch and surrounds Jalama Beach County Park — was formerly known as the Bixby Ranch, when it was ruled by cattle for nearly a century, and the CojoJalama Ranches, when developers resurrected the original Spanish names while waiting in the wings with grand plans.

No matter what you call it, the nearly untouched property — about the size of the entire City of Santa Barbara — hugs California’s most prominent corner at Point Conception, where the lands and seas of the north meet those of the south.

Because of that unique geographic convergence, the preserve is an ecologist’s wonderland of biodiversity. Across its sprawling collection of oak woodlands, pine forests, coastal prairies, wetlands, and beaches live 14 threatened or endangered

species, such as Lompoc yerba santa and the western snowy plover, and 54 “special status” species, including recently discovered populations of the tricolored blackbird, rarely seen along the coast.

More important than the numbers, though, is the entire equation. The preserve represents the last intact ecosystem for the Southern California coast, where even our protected areas are more focused on human recreation than ecosystem conservation. “This place is different,” is what ecologists say upon exploring the preserve. That’s according to The Nature Conservancy’s Michael Bell, who is the preserve’s director and played an integral role in saving the property, working toward that goal since the early 2000s.

“This is a place where mountain lions and bears still hunt and forage on the beach. They use their full natural habit, from the nearshore ocean to the beaches to the ridges,” explained Bell last week. “It’s an extraordinary system, and the observation and perspective of ecologists tends to be that it is the last of its kind. It is the last and best representation of a wild Southern California ecosystem.”

But it’s also drool-inducing for evolutionary scientists, as it represents a hotspot where evolution happened faster than elsewhere; environmental educators, who are already bringing

classrooms out to explore the pristine nature; archaeologists, for the untold messages still buried by the untouched soils; and the Chumash people, who see the property as a chance to finally honor their sacred lands in the right way.

There is also a tremendous opportunity for science and research to be conducted in groundbreaking ways at the Dangermond Preserve. “This place belongs to science,” is what Jack Dangermond likes to say. So The Nature Conservancy and UCSB are teaming with Esri — the Dangermonds’ digital mapping company and the source of their wealth — on a groundbreaking partnership that will mandate an open data system for all who study there.

Rather than results getting lost by never being published — as the majority of scientific research projects are never published, according to Bell — or being culled to fit a paper’s argument, all of the information discovered by researchers will be available for everyone else to use from anywhere. “You’re aiming for a digital twin of the preserve,” said Bell.

The land, of course, is far from perfect. The property came with a number of restoration projects mandated

Cover Story

CRITICAL POINTS: The Dangermond Preserve surrounds the lighthouse at Point Conception and features an intact array of coastal ecosystems, from the mountain ridges and oak woodlands to wetlands and the beach. It’s home to dozens of rare plant and animals species as well as a historic cattle operation.

by the California Coastal Commission — thanks to the previous owner’s unscrupulous and unpermitted activities — including the restoration of 200 acres of oak woodland, removal of 300 acres of ice plant, transfer of 36 acres to the county at Jalama Beach, and numerous other projects, all paperwork- and handiwork-heavy. Then there are bridge and culvert replacements, management of the cattle herds, security concerns, and … well, the work is just beginning.

But Bell dreams of a day, five years from now, when the preserve is fully functioning. A school group from Lompoc will come out for a weekend of backpacking, stay in the historic barn on Friday, and then hike a richly designed demonstration trail to the ridge camp on Saturday. By Sunday, they’ll be walking back along the beach, perhaps even checking out the Point Conception lighthouse thanks to partnerships with other organizations. And the entire time, they will be interacting with real scientists conducting research and proud volunteers working on restoration.

In so doing, the Dangermond Preserve won’t only be preserving a mostly lost past or capturing science for today, but also inspiring a more diverse class of scientists for the long tomorrow. Said Bell, referring to a scientific legend and one of Jack Dangermond’s close friends, “The next E.O. Wilson might come out of Lompoc.”

Q&A

JACK DANGERMOND LOVES THE CALIFORNIA COAST

H

alf a century ago, Laura and Jack Dangermond fell in

love with the California coast while honeymooning at Refugio State Beach. In the decades since, they built Esri, a pioneering digital-mapping company headquartered in San Bernardino County. The company’s products consume about half of the global market share of GIS, or geographic information system, technology.

Now billionaires, the Dangermonds are protecting the landand seascape that provided a foundation for their deep appreciation of the natural world. In December 2017, their $165-million donation to The Nature Conservancy — the organization’s largest single donation ever — enabled the international nonprofit to buy the Cojo-Jalama Ranches, the 24,364 acres of coastal ranchland now called the Jack and Laura Dangermond Preserve.

As the dust settled after the historic acquisition last year, the — Keith Hamm Independent caught up with Jack via email.

How did you learn about the property and what made you decide to protect it? On our honeymoon 50 years ago, Laura and I drove and camped along the California coast.

We were just kids but clearly realized what a special place this coastline was.

Some years ago, my brother, Pete Dangermond, a former state park director, told us about the Cojo and Jalama ranches.

When we visited the property, we remembered our trip and also recognized it as a unique oak woodland and coastal ecosystem.

There are many resources that include multiple plant and wildlife habitats and many important historic resources from the Native American, Spanish, and early California history.

While we were unable to acquire these ranches at the time, we kept trying and ultimately were successful with the collaboration of The Nature Conservancy. Being able to preserve the uniqueness of this place is a dream come true. It was a chance for us to protect an important coastal landscape in perpetuity.

Over the years, Laura and I have become deeply attached to this land. It is a very special place and one of the most unique land and ocean ecosystems in the world. It also happens to be

DANGERMOND CONT'D FROM P. 23 Why are these places important to save? Natural areas, particularly pristine and intact areas like this one, are so important to us as humans, and they are disappearing.

We did a study with Clark University, looking ahead 50 years, and mapped the natural areas. We found that in 50 years, the natural areas that remain will become very fragmented. The fundamental fabric of nature is being altered, and if we don’t act, these areas are going to disappear. A hundred years ago, we established a national parks system to protect the splendor of our lands, and it gives me a kind of solace to think that more of these kinds of areas will now be protected.

Conservancy before? Esri itself is very active in supporting conservation activities around the world and I would like to acknowledge our users and their staff for all the support and encouragement they have given us in our work over the years. Their collective efforts have not only helped conservation globally but have also enabled us to take this personal step to fund TNC. With regards to our gift, this funding was done personally. However, Esri has donated our software and technical

Conservatory, UCSB, and Esri will be working together to create a GIS system to monitor and model this unique landscape with the vision of creating a “digital twin” of this landscape for science, education, and management.

We believe it’s important to use science and technology to further land conservation around the world.

What’s your connection to UCSB? Esri has worked closely for many years with UC Santa Barbara’s Geography Department supporting student research in the field of geographic information systems (GIS) and its applications. They are the leading research and technical institution in this field, and we have hired many of their students.

Laura and I established an Endowed Chair in Geography [almost 10] years ago to support our interest in geography and its application to environmental and land-use problem solving. Our hope is our support encourages students to pursue careers rooted in spatial-analytic methods and GIS technology.

We [have established] a new UCSB chair in Environmental Conservation that will use the preserve as a living laboratory for landscape monitoring, analysis, and management techniques.

Cover Story

What’s your connection to the natural world? We live on an avocado farm in Redlands and go walking every day. My friend E.O. Wilson, a famed Harvard biologist, advanced the notion that people are bio-philiacs, meaning that we are drawn to nature even in unconscious ways, whether owning an aquarium or tending to planting. Laura and I feel connected to our living environment. We both enjoy experiencing the natural beauty of the world and the plants and animals within it.

My family’s business was a small nursery here in Redlands, California. My brothers and I all studied landscape architecture. As a landscape architect, I would like to see better [integration of] nature into cities as parks, trees, and open space. Laura and I have been active in our own community planting trees and helping organize community efforts to Jack and Laura Dangermond conserve land and develop parks. I think it is very important for us as humans to be connected to our natural world — connected near where support to TNC for many years.

What message do you hope this donation sends to the public and perhaps other philanthropists? We hope that our gift inspires and motivates other people and organizations to pursue similar opportunities and conserve the important remaining natural areas that are so important to the future of our planet. There are lots of wealthy people in the tech industry and other industries in California and all over the world, but in fact, any of us can really make a difference.

I encourage everyone to look at how they help conserve special spaces in their own communities. What is that special place? Is it an abandoned lot that can be made into an urban garden? Is it a stream? It will take all of us working together, making our communities and world more sustainable and livable. n

Four Sisters by Claude Lanzmann Special Guest Dr. Regina Longo Beginning in 1999, Claude Lanzmann made several films comprised of 1970s interviews that didn’t make it into his monumental film, Shoah.. Some critics have considered these films satellites of Shoah Shoah.. In 1999, work began in earnest to restore and reconstruct over 200 hours of Shoah outtakes that Lanzmann had sold in 1996 to the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum in order to finance his new film projects.

Lanzmann’s last four films, built around four women from different regions of Eastern Europe and with four different destinies, are compelling, stand-alone works. While it is unfortunate that it took the director until the end of his life to recognize the importance of these women’s testimonies, their significance was always understood by the group of archivists, who had unfettered access to the materials and who shared their insights directly with Lanzmann.

Earth Day

A Lasting Response to

Environmental Tragedy

THE FIRST EARTH DAY: Pictured in 1970 (from left) are civic leader Pearl Chase, Santa Barbara County Supervisor George Clyde, Community Environmental Council cofounder Elaine Burnell, and environmental lawyer Marc McGinnes.

The following is an excerpt from the newly released In Love with Earth, written by Marc McGinnes, cofounder of the Community Environmental Council, the Environmental Defense Center, the Peaceful Resolutions Institute, and the Community Mediation Council, and a longtime faculty member of the Environmental Studies Program at UCSB.

I

n early March of 1969, l got a phone call that set my life on I want to let you know, this is really important. We need to make sure that the word coming out of Santa Barbara is a new course.

I was in my law office in San Francisco. A case file lay stronger than just ‘Get Oil Out!’ The bigger goal is to launch open on my desk, and I held my Dictaphone, just about a powerful environmental protection movement across the to record some notes, when my secretary buzzed over the whole country.”

Pete McCloskey was then and still is (going strong at age intercom, “There’s a [Rep.] Pete McCloskey from Washington, D.C., on the line for you.” I put down the recorder, reached for 90) an Earthangel, the first of many whom it has been a blessthe telephone and heard Pete say, “Marc, have you heard about ing to work with over the years to create and sustain such a movement. this oil platform blowout in Santa Barbara?”

The blowout at Union Oil’s Platform A occurred on Janu“Hi, Pete. Yes, I read some of the news about it.”

“Well, I think you should get down there as quickly as ary 28, 1969, and in response, the citizens of Santa Barbara you can and get involved. This is going to open up a whole were angry as hornets. They had every right to be. Before the new field of law. I’m at work right now helping to draft new offshore rigs were built, the locals had called for public hearlegislation that will fundamentally change how governmental ings concerning the safety issues inherent to this kind of oil decisions affecting the environment are made. Young lawyers production. Those requests for hearings were denied by federal officials, who were in a rush like you are going to be needed to get started. The oil companies to enforce it in the courts. It’s a had paid millions of dollars to the National Environmental Policy federal government for the leases Act, and we want to be sure that and, as Stewart Udall (Secretary similar state laws are enacted of the Interior under Kennedy and enforced.” and Johnson) later explained, “Yes, but …” the government urgently needed “No ‘buts’ about it, Marc. No those lease fees to help pay for the time to waste. Get down there as Vietnam War. soon as you can.”

So Udall looked the other I put down the phone, way as the oil companies moved opened my arms to the heavens aggressively forward with these and whooped. I crossed the offshore rigs, and ultimately it room to the window, opened was Udall (undoubtedly at the it and shouted “Yes!” When I direction of the president) who turned around, my secretary JANUARY 28, 1969: A blowout at Union Oil’s Platform A made the decision to approve was staring at me with a mixture spilled upward of an estimated 100,000 barrels of crude into the Santa Barbara Channel. drilling operations. That decision of alarm and astonishment. was premature, as the events of That night, [my wife] Kathy and I decided to make the move. The next morning, I called late January demonstrated.

The blowout, which spewed more than three million galPete. He asked, “Do you know anybody down there, Marc? Do lons of crude oil and gas into the Santa Barbara Channel, you have any contacts with any lawyers?” occurred when the drill being operated from the platform “No. Not a soul.”

“Well, start as soon as you can. I’ll see what I can do. But penetrated to a depth that was not protected by the casing

needed to contain the pressure of the materials below. The oil came exploding out, reached the surface and began to spread.

It continued to spread over the next several months. Winds and tide moved it about, and soon it spread all along the shore of the South Coast.

Sea life was deeply impacted. Birds were coated in oil, rendering them helplessly unable to fly or dive. The birds became emblematic of the disaster because they generated the most compelling images. Poignant scenes of oil-covered birds helped to make the spill a national media event carried by major news organizations into the homes of people across the country.

As the efforts to stop the spill failed, the damage continued and so did the news coverage. At that point in time it was the largest water pollution incident in United States history. This created a new national awareness of environmental abuse and set into motion seminal laws, policy and a change in social consciousness.

In that moment, journalism served as the fourth estate.

There were several prominent journalists covering the event at the New York Times, the Chicago Tribune and the Los Angeles Times.. Locally, Bob Sollen worked for the Santa Barbara News-Press,, performperform ing at the hub of this seminal event and briefing the national newspapers, sharing his photographs and accounts.

In addition to portraying the envienvi ronmental devastation, the news media also covered representatives and dignitaries who visited the scene of the disaster. President Nixon arrived by helicopter, stepped out near the black gunk that had come ashore, and took pains to avoid sullying his wingtip shoes in the grime. Nixon was soon followed by Secretary of the Interior Walter Hickel and a whole host of other federal and state government officials who showed up to sternly deplore the situation. Press releases came out of governmental offices, and reporters diligently covered the saga. For months, visiting representatives and the national media audience watched the angry citizens of Santa Barbara vent their fury at the federal officials who had ignored their warnings and betrayed their trust.

The new National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) that Pete had mentioned would require developers to assess the environmental impacts of their projects in advance and submit this information for public review and potential court approval before moving forward. Had this requirement been in effect prior to the government’s approval of the plan to begin drilling operations in the Santa Barbara Channel, the blowout on Platform A would almost certainly have been avoided.

At the time, Kathy was pregnant and our financial resources were thin. But in light of my having fallen in love with the Earth, as well as with her, we knew it was exactly what we should do. In a way, our son’s gestation was part of my new way of seeing things. I was ready to defend the Earth. Within days of the birth of our son Skye, we moved to Santa Barbara. n

The Last Straw

DID YOU KNOW It has been reported that roughly 30 million people are allergic to roaches. Roach allergens are the excrement and debris from decomposing roach bodies that become airborne and breathed in.

Cockroaches easily transmit disease by being in constant contact with contaminated material and feces. They easily contaminate food by walking over and defecating on preparation stations.

on Single-Use Plastics

COURTESY

inalStraw, a reusable straw company that went viral after an incredibly successful Kickstarter campaign, moved its headquarters to Santa Barbara on March 1.

The company markets a high-quality, collapsible, reusable alternative to disposable straws to help reduce single-use plastics.

The company’s two founders, Emma Cohen and Miles Pepper, began the company with a Kickstarter campaign in April 2018, which raised an impressive $1.89 million.

According to Cohen, she became passionately involved in reducing single-use plastics as an undergrad at UC Santa Barbara, where she campaigned to help pass the plasticbag ban. As a coastal city with environmentally conscious residents and the birthplace of Earth Day, Cohen said Santa Barbara is the perfect place for FinalStraw.

As the company makes the move to Santa Barbara, Cohen aims to expand the reusable products it offers.

“FinalStraw is the first product in a line of foreverables,” said Cohen, stressing the importance of making these products reliable and long lasting. At two uses per day, FinalStraw is designed to last 15 years.

The straws are made of silicone and stainless steel and come with a small carrying case and cleaning squeegee.

The innovative collapsible design makes the straw portable, fun, and convenient.

Cohen was named one of Outside Magazine’s “Most Impactful Entrepreneurs” of 2018 and plans to continue advocate for sustainability at the individual level. “I have this vision of single-use plastics being something of the past, and that everyone holds themselves accountable for the waste that they create,” said Cohen.

Santa Barbara City Council voted to ban plastic straws in October 2018. The ban will go into effect July 1, 2019.

According to the Community Environmental Council, the ban prohibits all plastic straws except in the case of individuals or facilities that require them for medical purposes. The ban also includes plastic cutlery, which will only be available upon request.

Moke Electric Vehicles Cruise into Wheel Fun Rentals

A

PAUL WELLMAN

bike rental shop in the Funk Zone of Santa Barbara recently upped its game with the addition of Moke Electric Vehicles, the first electric-powered, four-wheel option in its stock.

Wheel Fun Rentals is offering the new emission-free, low-noise cruisers, which resemble a Jeep Wrangler, for $69 per hour or $179 for half a day. To set out for an excursion, drivers simply pull a lever to start the electricity running and use a key to start the engine.

Sporting bright blue, red, orange, pink, and yellow paint jobs, the open-air vehicles are designed for getting around downtown. A Moke runs up to 40 miles on a full battery, has turn signals, headlights, sideview windows, seat belts, cupholders, and a Bluetooth radio system — not to mention a removable top.

The street-legal vehicles can go up to about 50 mph and seat up to four people, but require a driver age 21 or older with a valid license.

Despite their adventurous, off-road look, the cars are restricted to city streets, limiting users to downtown Santa Barbara and trips that can be made within the battery life.

Wheel Fun Rentals, which has 10 Mokes in stock, began renting to customers this past month.

STREET LEGAL: From the Funk Zone to the foothills, emission-free Though standard cars are available at outings in an electric Moke can cover 40 miles on a single charge. national rental companies, Mokes are the only all-electric vehicles available for rent in Santa Barbara and one of the only vehicle rental options for people under 25.

Drivers are subject to many of the same laws governing personal automobiles, said Teddi Drew, owner and operator of Wheel Fun Rentals, can get tickets for illegal parking or texting while driving, or be arrested for drunk driving.

To get a better sense of what Falsini is up to, I sent him questions via email, per his request, and this is what he had to say. Among other things to look forward to is the launch of his tasting menu, which is scheduled for May 1.

Cooking with Mother Nature, following the seasons, and cultivating relationships is key for a chef. Going to the market is a great opportunity to connect with the growers, sharing knowledge and stories. It’s just like how people used to go to an old bale mill; they went to mill their grains, but also to socialize and talk business.

Given the ocean views, how does seafood play into the menu? The American Riviera is like a chef ’s theme

Captivates the Miramar Coast

ven if Caruso’s relied on a run-of-the-mill cook to push out burgers and pizza, the Rosewood Miramar resort’s flagship restaurant would enjoy a tremendous advantage over most other eateries on Earth. Its open-air dining room sits a staircase above Miramar Beach, where surfers ride a peeling point break, the Channel Islands bask in the mauve glow of sunset, and oil rigs twinkle like crystal ships when night descends. Upon opening in March, Caruso’s quickly jumped into the running for most beautiful place to eat on the planet— planet even shoe leather might taste divine with such distractions.

Of course, hailing from the epicurean expanse of modern Los Angeles, developer Rick Caruso did not cut corners in hiring Chef Massimo Falsini, a Roman whose résumé reads like a luxurist’s bucket list. He started at Harry’s Bar in Rome, helping them nab their Michelin star, before working at top resorts in Abu Dhabi, Sicily, Orlando, Hawai‘i, Florida, and, most recently, Napa Valley.

No surprise, then, that his food is pretty enough to compete with the views and tasty enough to make you forget them altogether. After my wife and I received our cocktails — I ordered the namesake Miramar, and she eventually ordered two of the Memories of Baja tequila drink— our meal began with a subtle bang in the form drink of an amuse-bouche with pickled cauliflower, caviar, and crème fraîche, its sour-salt-smoothness all becoming one.

The starters were fresh and inventive, from the charred avocado and beet salad, served with a slightly sweet, almost granola-like cashew cheese, to the chilled minted pea soup with goat cheese froth to the Baja kampachi crudo, with subtly delicious tea of lemon verbena and rosehips. There was a fascinating floral sense about each of these dishes, thanks in part to the many edible flowers involved, giving a strong springtime sensation to each bite.

Then came the tomato-forward mafaldine pasta and the artichoke confit and pulled buffalo cheese pinsa, which is a Roman, pizza-like flatbread; both were very good, although not as transcendent or visually stunning as the previous courses. We shared a perfectly cooked crisp Monterey salmon entrée before being blown away by a series of eye-popping desserts, most notably the take on tiramisu that arrives in a large ostrich egg shell of suspended sugar.

What is your hope for the Caruso’s menu? My philosophy

on cooking is purely ingredients-based. I believe that when you stay local, and you prepare the dishes respecting the environment and animal welfare, the dishes will be naturally approachable and fanatically memorable.

Mother Nature is just awesome! Have you ever looked closely at a romanesco cauliflower? Did you notice the geometry? What about the artichoke? There is so much natural perfection out there — we just have to find a place on our menu to let her shine.

How often do you go to our farmers’ markets? I go to the

farmers’ market every Saturday on Anacapa and every Tuesday evening on State Street, religiously. This is how I grew up: Back home in Rome, going to the mercato is daily habit. My family had a stand in different markets for years, as we were charcutiers for many generations.

SEAFOOD STARS: Here is Caruso’s striped bass carpaccio with Cara Cara oranges, cucumber granita, and serrano.

is green with flowers accents, in the summer you’ll find yellows and reds, in the fall look for browns and oranges, and in the wintertime, darker accents.

You’ve worked in restaurants all over the world. Are you finding anything that is unique about the Santa Barbara diner? I

have found a lot of similarities between the Santa Barbara and Napa Valley diners. They like to go out quite often and enjoy tradition a little more than experiments.

I try to be radical at times with dishes like the crudo you

Dance studies professor Ninotchka Bennahum and associate professor of English and black studies Stephanie Batiste have co-curated an event that has attracted some of the most revered figures in American ballet.

RENEE & FRIENDS Renee & Friends’ new album, Kindred Kindred, is truly a family affair. After enduring devastating loss and displacement in the Montecito mudflows, Santa Barbara’s Parents’ Choice Gold Award–winning singer/songwriter Renee Stahl enlisted both frequent collaborators and her own daughters, Amelia and Isadora Dektor, to make an album welcoming to all ages. I asked the family about their new record, collaborating as a family, and inspiring hope.

What new sense of kindred spiritedness did this album bring to you and your project?

Renee Stahl: The title Kindred came from a conversation with an old friend. I mentioned I was looking for something that would encompass family, friends, collaboration, and connection. I am so excited I was able to collaborate with kindred spirits that I have known and admired for many years, including Elizabeth Mitchell, Ziggy Marley, Lisa Loeb, and Chris Stills, to name a few. We had a lot of fun working on this CD.

Amelia and Isadora, how was it collaborating with your mom?

Amelia Dektor, age 12: It was fun to be able to work with her and sing songs she had written. I also really enjoyed working with my friend Addi, who I met in kindergarten, on “Leaders of the World.”

Isadora Dektor, age 7: It was fun. I was really happy. I am happy to be on Spotify.

What do you hope listeners take away from listening to the album?

RS: I hope they take away a sense of inspiration, empowerment, and kindness. I hope it makes them want to go out into the world and sing their own songs in whatever way thrills them.

ID: Happiness and joy — I hope they care for other people.

AD: That kids will understand they have a powerful voice and a lot to say and can lead the world.

—Richie DeMaria

by Fleurie leclercq

COMING SOON! Fleurie Leclercq was born in Cameroon and grew up with her grandmother, “Mamie Marguerite,” in the Bankolo Hills of Yaounde. She is proud of her African roots and culture and thankful to her loving grandma who taught her to stand strong and keep her head up, whatever life’s challenges. Under her grandma’s nurturing wing, Fleurie learned to work hard and to love and care for others. Thus she grew up with the selfconfidence to follow her dreams. She named her daughter, Marguerite, after her grandmother.

Through her stories, Fleurie shows the beauty and culture of Africa and creates a heroine that children can look up to. She wants to inspire children of the world, especially children of African descent, to tell their story and be proud of their origins and culture.

cotty McCreery made his national singing debut on season 10 of American Idol while still a junior in high school. His rich voice, natural stage presence, and amiable personality made him a fan and judge favorite, which ultimately led to him being tapped as season winner.

Although McCreery began his career thanks to American Idol, the singer/songwriter has become a country star all on his own. In the past eight years, he has recorded four albums, with the most recent release, 2018’s Seasons Change, solidifying Has it slowed down since American Idol?

t feels simultaneously epic and very intimate,” said playwright Joshua Harmon in a 2015 interview regarding his work Significant Other. And although I would substitute “universal” for “epic,” that is exactly the scope achieved by SBCC Theatre Group in its production, which is currently playing at the Jurkowitz Theatre through April 27.

Significant Other folPresented by SBCC Theatre lows four twentysomething Group. At Jurkowitz friends living in New York Theatre, Wed., Apr. 17. as they transition from postShows through Apr. 27. college/work/clubbing to settling down/weddings/babies.

It’s a universal story and the talented cast — Hazel Brady, Aurora Cassandra Gooch, Christian Duarte, Annabell Walker, Irving Soto, Justin Kang, Marion Freitag, and Manu Davila—nailed the deft dialogue, which ran the gamut from quick-witted to self-reflective to emotionally charged.

THEATER The casting was spot-on. As the character Kiki, Brady opened Act I with a hilarious discourse that was instantly engaging. Act II saw Duarte as Jordan conquer with aplomb a dense monologue that required nimble verbal skills and emotional versatility. Each actor inhabited their character—or characters, as Davila, Soto, and Kang each played two roles—so intuitively it was easy to believe they were the longtime friends, coworkers, and lovers they were portraying. The ensemble was tight; there wasn’t a weak one in the bunch.

As their lives evolve, Jordan struggles with the changing connections of their relationships. The reward is watching him knit himself back together and come to terms with a new, equally close dynamic. As Harmon put it: “They begin to face the real beginning of adulthood, and they all feel differently as they stand on the edge of that precipice.” And the audience is right there with them. Kudos to SBCC Theatre Group for this must-see production.

t will always be hard for Augustin Hadelich to top the impact of his appearance at the Granada last year on January 16, 2018. As soloist with the St. Louis Symphony, he and the other musicians, along with the big truck carrying their instruments, made a heroic dash up Interstate route 5 when Highway 101 was closed due to the Montecito debris flow. The resulting concert was one of the first events following the disaster, and it buoyed spirits here so effectively that Hadelich could be considered an honorary second responder.

His return to our city last Presented by CAMA Wednesday may have lacked Masterseries. both the suspense and the At the Lobero Theatre, orchestra of last year’s concert, Wed., Apr. 17. but this recital with pianist Orion Weiss nevertheless displayed touches of heroic grandeur, at least when it comes to mastery of one’s instrument and the material. The opening work, Beethoven’s Sonata No. 4 in A Minor, Op. 23, established both the authoritative control of tempo and structure that Weiss is capable of from the keyboard, and the

degree to which Hadelich’s style matches his playing in technique and virtuosity.

Subsequent numbers took us on a tour of France, Spain, and Belgium, in the company of Claude Debussy, Francisco Coll, and Eugène Ysaÿe. Hadelich was particularly dazzling on Debussy’s Sonata in G Minor, L. 140, the only work in the genre the French composer ever wrote, and a tour de force for the violin. Following the intermission, there was a ravishing sonata from Brahms, more Debussy, and a two-part finale of music

wandered into the crossover landscape. Fittingly, her band has blended strong North and South Indian instrumentalists—Ojas Adhiya on tabla, Pirashanna Thevarajah on mridangam and other South Indian percussion—with a Westerner, Danny Keane on cello and piano.

Echoes of Ravi continue on six years after his death.

Opening with “Voice of the Moon,” based on a South Indian raga, Shankar moved to a piece she wrote based on a raga by her father. From her 2013 album, Trace of You, she called on “Fathers” and the Indo-pop tune “The Sun Won’t Set,” on which her half-sister Norah Jones made a cameo; flutist Ravichandra Kulur provided her part live. The final segment showcased Shankar’s music for the 1927 silent film Shiraz: A Romance of India, with suitably wandering, cinematic atmospheres and an up-tempo 5/8 melody line to finish off the evening in a sweet, heady rush.

THE 1975

T

he 1975 blessed the Santa Barbara Bowl stage at last Sunday, its eighth stop on a North American tour taking the band from Mexico City to Toronto. Showcasing songs from the group’s latest hit album, A Brief Inquiry into Online Relationships, and older classics, The 1975 is celebrating its deep catalog ahead of another album set to be released early this summer.

Fellow English acts and Dirty Hit labelmates Pale Waves and No Rome opened for The 1975, each providing electrifying sets of their own that left the packed audience palpably giddy as the sun was setting. Giddiness exploded into roars as the lights went off and the song “The 1975” played over the speakers in the darkness. The song faded into the hard-rocking guitar riff of “Give Yourself a Try” as the band ran onstage and the audience frantically leaped with joy.

At the S.B. Bowl, The Manchester band continued with 19 more songs; Sat., Apr. 20. highlights included “Sincerity Is Scary” and “It’s Not Living (If It’s Not with You).” The 1975 had an incredible presence and vibrant stage design that revolved around frontman Matty Healy’s expressive performance. Eccentric and lively, Healy’s vocals were just as clean live as on record. His work left the crowd hungry for more even after a five-song encore, which included “Love It If We Made It,” “Chocolate,” and “Sex.” The crowd was remarkably involved and energetic throughout the set, proving the kind of artists The 1975 are — they bring passion and intensity to their live shows and do so with undeniable style.

MOTLEY CREW: Show creator and star Ricky Gervais’s latest Netflix series has him playing a grieving widower inhabiting a small world of motley characters, including a worldly, wise sex worker played by Roisin Conaty (above left).

AFTER LIFE

Ricky Gervais TV Series Is Clever, Nasty Fun

R

icky Gervais’s After Life is a tart and tender little wonder. The series opens with a hospital bedside testimonial by Tony Johnson’s (Ricky Gervais) late wife, the love of his life. The video, which instructs Tony on how to live without her and wafts nostalgic over their affectionate and prank-filled life together, becomes a recurring posthumous source in the six-part series. “Keep being funny,” she advises in her end-of-life state. “You make everyone laugh. Then, the next morning, you have a spiritual hangover, wondering if you’ve offended anybody.” Sounds like the story of Gervais’s Golden Globes–hosting infamy.

However, Tony is doing horribly in life after life with her. As our wouldbe suicidal protagonist tells his boss — in that measured, sneering, take-it-or-leave-it Gervais-ian by patter—at the free paper, the Tambury Gazette, “A good day is when I don’t want to shoot random strangers in the face, and then turn the gun on me.” As for his job, supplied by his brother-in-law editor, Tony describes it as making “the fucking banal mildly interesting.” He’s that kind of guy. He is, inimitably, Ricky Gervais.

Aside from the innate pleasures, nasty fun, endearing gusts of life-affirmation (they do occur), and clever writing throughout, one of the prime motivations for checking out After Life is the rare glimpse at the human side of Gervais. Gervais, the tough-tongue boss in the original British version of The Office, and the toothy comic who brought in the cold breeze to his hosting gigs at the Golden Globes, has honed his brand as the king of constant causticity. And yet, as seen on Netflix, a human heart beats within, and there is even a penchant for sentimentality—however slight and reluctant in arrival.

For the most part, he remains the seemingly cynical salty dog, a caricature of the cold, biting Brit archetype. But we notice a warming trend come and go through the episodes, whether in sympathetic moments while visiting his Alzheimer’s-stricken father (and falling for the nurse there, played by Ashley Jensen), or in a series of conversations in the cemetery with a wise older woman (the excellent Dame Penelope Wilton) who has lost her spouse.

Gervais’s vitality as creator, star, and director makes After Life one of the finer things on TV at the moment, albeit of the dark sort. He has created a comforting, small world of motley characters that include a worldly, wise sex worker; a junkie (and supplier to our protagonist); and his beloved dog, Anti — who tends to steal the screen and gives Tony a reason to continue living. And then there is the built-in comic vignette structure of the strange, trivial subjects for the tabloid’s sensational pages, including a teen who plays two recorders with his nose, a baby who resembles Hitler (when the parents paint on a moustache), a woman making custard with her breast milk, and a publicity-famished hoarder.

As a harmless and not surprising semi-spoiler alert, the black-comedy atmosphere of the series—with melancholy humming beneath the mayhem—takes a turn toward the heartening in its final episode. Gervais turns almost sentimental, making amends with former targets of his bile and at least suggesting sincerity when he tells the office, “Once you realize you’re not going to be around, that’s what makes life so magical.”

At a time when the afterlife theme has been creeping into our living rooms, via such fare as Forever and The Good Place, After Life carves out a comic life of its own, thanks to the Gervais touch.

The devil and a tempting, ripe documentary subject made Penny Lane do it. The director, hailed for 2013’s Our Nixon, has cooked up a weirdly fascinating, multilay multilayered profile of the fledgling organization known as The Satanic Temple (TST), with chapters around the nation and a few thousand members strong. Coolly charismatic leader Lucien Greaves ascribes TST as a “a counter balance to the deeply held beliefs of religion in America,” while members cite a core allegiance to a spirit of rebellion and compassion, citing its goal of “directly confronting corruption and evil practices.

Activism is a Satanic practice.” The film follows the group’s orchestration of media stunts, public performance art, and law lawsuits over abortion and the right to erect Satanic “Baphomet” statues to counteract Ten Commandment statues at State Capitols (originally promotional items linked to the Charlton Heston–featured Ten Commandments film). Lane lavishes us with Satanic and also Christian kitsch through the decades, including the “Satanic panic” of the ’50s and ’60s, which became akin to a witch hunt (TST has its headquarters in Salem, incidentally). Lane’s intriguing, often darkly cheeky film is more about religious freedom, zealotry, oppression, and the desire to subvert than the Man Downstairs.

The documentary Amazing Grace is an astonishing wake-up call to what a jaw-dropping marvel Aretha Franklin really was. Shot in 1972 over two days of live performance at the New Bethel Baptist Church in Los Angeles, it chronicles Franklin as she returned to her gospel roots. She is backed not just by one of the tightest rhythm sections ever assembled but also by the Reverend James Cleveland and the Southern California Community Choir. As ecstatically moving as the film undeniably is, it’s also profoundly unsettling. Franklin’s

face between songs is conspicuously wary and on guard. Then her father, the charismatic minister and accomplished gospel singer C.L. Franklin, shows up, and you understand why. He sucks all the oxygen out of her tent. In Amazing Grace, the camera shows what words cannot say: an Aretha Franklin forced to flee into the infinitude of genius to find solace. (NW) The Hitchcock Breakthrough (116 mins., PG) Chrissy Metz (This Is Us) stars in this screen adaptation of the Christian novel The Impossible, which tells the story of a teenage boy who fell through the ice of a Missouri lake. As he lies in a coma, his mother prays to God he will pull through. Topher Grace and Josh Lucas also star.

Fairview/Paseo Nuevo Captain Marvel (124 mins., PG-13) Brie Larson stars as Carol Danvers (a k a Captain Marvel), a former U.S. Air Force fighter pilot and current member of an elite military unit, Starforce. Danvers gets her superhuman abilities when her DNA is accidentally fused with that of a Kree, a scientifically and technologically advanced race. Djimon Hounsou, Samuel L. Jackson, and Annette Bening also star.

Fiesta 5

➤ The Curse of La Llorona (93 mins., R)

The Curse of La Llorona is a modern take on legendary Mexican folklore and the newest addition to the horror universe of The Conjuring Conjuring. The film follows a Latin American family in Los Angeles whose children are quickly threatened

by La Llorona, or a weeping spirit that kidnaps children. The film is decently engaging with high amounts of jump scares but is very weak in acting and plot structure. It serves as a lower point in the grand timeline of The Conjuring

and frankly feels unnecessary in comparison.

For any Latin American viewers, the experience of seeing traditional myth realized is a fun treat, although the gimmick fails to last. This is a film that is only worthwhile for diehard horror fans, as the opening weekend numbers can surely attest. (MPG) Camino Real/Fiesta 5 Dumbo (112 mins., PG) Director Tim Burton reimagines Disney’s 1941 animated classic for this live-action telling of the famous, floppyeared elephant who overcomes his oversize feature to become a circus star.

Danny DeVito, Colin Farrell, Eva Green, and Michael Keaton star.

Hellboy (148 mins., R) David Harbour (Stranger Things) stars as the titular character in this reboot of the Hellboy film series. In this iteration, Hellboy and his compatriots try to keep the undead Blood Queen (Milla Jovovich) from destroying the world.

Fiesta 5 Little (109 mins., PG-13) Jordan Sanders (Regina Hall) is a ruthless tech mogul who gets “wished” back to her younger self, thus getting the opportunity to relive her childhood. Issa Rae, Marsai Martin, and Justin Hartley also star.

Fairview/Paseo Nuevo Missing Link (95 mins., PG) In this stop-motion animated comedy/ adventure, Sir Lionel Frost (Hugh Jackman) heads into the Pacific Northwest forest to prove the existence of the mythological creature Susan (Zach Galifianakis).

Fiesta 5 Penguins (96 mins., G) Disney’s latest nature documentary tells the story of an Antarctic Adélie penguin named Steve on his quest to build a nest, find a partner, and start a family.

O Pet Sematary

(100 mins., R)

The 2019 reboot of Stephen King’s iconic Pet Sematary can be rough around the edges as far as technical precision goes but is ultimately successful in striking aesthetics and well-executed horror tropes. The film is immersive both visually and thematically, utilizing quality suspense and set design to evoke a thrilling nostalgia for a classic scary movie.

Despite some issues with narrative cohesion and character development, Pet Sematary ultimately delivers in its primary artistic intent. It presents a solid contribution to the genre and proves that this modern context of horror classics is well worth our attention. (MPG) Fairview

Shazam! (132 mins., PG-13) Zachary Levi (Chuck) is Shazam, the alter ego to William “Billy” Batson (Asher Angel), in DC’s latest celluloid superhero fare. Billy/Shazam must use their powers to stop the villainous Dr. Thaddeus Sivana (Mark Strong), who has powers of his own, from causing death and destruction.

Camino Real/Fiesta 5

➤ Us

(116 mins., R)

Starring Black Panther Panther’s Lupita Nyong’o and Winston Duke, the film depicts a family beach vacation gone horribly wrong in Santa Cruz, California. Midway through Us, there is a moment when you will think you have Jordan Peele’s latest horror-satire all figured out.

But this is a Peele horror film. As fans of Get Out know all too well, he is the most brilliantly manipulative director at work today. He makes you feel comfortable, and then too comfortable with your genre expectations. He makes you trust characters you shouldn’t trust. He sets up plots that play into your cultural assumptions and stereotypes, especially about race. Then he radically subverts expectations to teach us a lesson. Us grips emotionally as well as intellectually.

It’s a horror film with the gravitas of a profound allegory for our troubled cultural moment. Next to Get Out Out, it may be the superior work of art because it is at once urgently entertaining and it yields more and more to those willing to reflect on it. (KM) Fairview/Paseo Nuevo

CANCER

(Mar. 21-Apr. 19): In the U.S., the day after Thanksgiving typically features a spectacular shopping orgy. On “Black Friday,” stores sell their products at steep discounts and consumers spend their money extravagantly. But the creators of the game Cards Against Humanity have consistently satirized the tradition. In 2013, for example, they staged a Black Friday “anti-sale,” for which they raised their prices. The coming weeks will be a favorable time for you to try something similar. Is it possible you’re undercharging for your products and services and skills? If so, consider asking for more. Reassess your true worth and seek appropriate rewards.

(June 21-July 22): For over 40 years, Cancerian musician Carlos Santana has made music that blends rock and roll with Latin and African rhythms. In the early years, his creations sold well, but by the mid-1980s, his commercial success declined. For a decade, he floundered. His fortunes began to improve after a spectacular meditation LIBRA session. Santana says he was contacted by the archangel (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): “Most people don’t find their creativity,” Metatron, who told him how to generate material for a mourned Libran author Truman Capote. “There are more new album. The result was Supernatural, which sold 30 unsung geniuses that don’t even know they have great million copies and won nine Grammy Awards. I mention talent.” If that describes you even a little bit, I’m happy to this, Cancerian, because I suspect that you could soon let you know that you’re close to stumbling upon events experience a more modest but still rousing variation of and insights that could change that.

(July 23-Aug. 22): “Expergefactor” is an old English word that has fallen out of use. In its SCORPIO original sense, it meant something that wakes you up, (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): Do you know the word “sfumato”?

I guess it’s possible that you’re not interested in seeing deeper into the secret hearts of those you care for. Maybe you’ll go “ho-hum” when shown how to recognize a half-hidden opportunity that could bring vitalizing changes. And you may think it’s not very practical to romance the fire and the water at the same time. But if you’re interested, all that good stuff will be available for you. P.S. To maximize the effects of the magic, believe in it.

eruption in human history exploded from Mount Tambora in what’s now known as Indonesia. It flung gas and ash all over the planet, causing weird weather for three years. Sunlight dimmed, temperatures plummeted, skies were tumultuous, and intense storms proliferated. Yet these conditions ignited the imagination of author Mary Shelley, inspiring her to write what was to become her most notable work, Frankenstein. I suspect that you, too, will ultimately generate at least one productive marvel in response to the unusual events of the coming weeks.

sincerity and earnestness. So please try not to fall into the easy trap of relying on satire, sarcasm, cynicism, and irony to express yourself. As much as is practical, be kindly frank and compassionately truthful and empathetically genuine. (P.S. It’s a strategy that will serve your selfish aims quite well.)

have thought were permanent. I suspect you could be at one of these pivot points right now, Sagittarius. Are there any experiments you’d like to try? If so, keep in mind this further counsel from Nin. It’s possible “you will make mistakes. And they are right, too.”

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): You have one main task to accomplish in

the coming weeks, Capricorn. It’ll be simple and natural if you devote yourself to it wholeheartedly. The only way it could possibly become complicated and challenging is if you allow your focus to be diffused by less important matters. Ready for your assignment? It’s articulated in this poem by Rupi Kaur: “bloom beautifully / dangerously / loudly / bloom softly / however you need / just bloom.”

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): When the forces of the Roman empire

occupied the British Isles from the years 43 to 410, they built 2,000 miles of roads. Their methods were sophisticated. That’s why few new roads were built in England until the 18th century, and many of the same paths are still visible and available today. In this spirit, and in accordance with astrological omens, I recommend that you make good use of an old system or network in the coming weeks. This is one time when the past has blessings to offer the future.

PISCES (Feb. 19-Mar. 20): “I’m not enigmatic and intriguing

enough,” writes a Piscean blogger named RiddleMaster. “I really must work harder. Maybe I’ll start wearing ankle-length black leather coats, billowing silk scarves imprinted with alchemical symbols, and wide-brimmed hats. I’ll listen to Cambodian folk songs and read rare books in ancient Sanskrit. When someone dares to speak to me, I’ll utter cryptic declarations like, ‘The prophecies will be fulfilled soon enough.’ ” I understand RiddleMaster’s feelings. You Pisceans need mystery almost as much as you need food. But I believe you should set aside that drive for a few weeks. The time has come for you to show the world who you are with crisp candor.

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