What got you interested in food and drink writing? My love for unique, independent coffee shops and cafés trickled throughout Southern California. Earlier this year, I reviewed the new Cajé coffee shop on Haley Street for one of my college writing courses, and I realized I was having so much fun doing it. I took a leap of faith and pitched the article to the Independent, and it ultimately earned me this internship.

What do you do outside the office? I am a fulltime student at UC Santa Barbara majoring in Communication. Aside from academics, I am the captain of the UCSB Dance Team. Dance has been a huge part of my life ever since I started at the age of 4. Our team performs hip-hop, jazz, and pom routines at various UCSB sporting events, and in the spring, we compete against other Division 1 collegiate dance teams at USA Nationals. Last year, we ranked 3rd in the nation! Do you think you’ll stick with journalism? I plan on staying with journalism for a while. I’ve loved the opportunity to gain real-world experience and travel around the Santa Barbara area, interviewing different people and building my writing skills. I just turned 22, so I am still having fun finding out what my passions are and dabbling in different industries. Aside from journalism, I am interested in marketing, public relations, and teaching.

NEWS BRIEFS COUNTY A fast-moving fire broke out last Thursday and its 420 acres burned were contained by fire lines by Monday. The Real Fire just east of El Capitan Canyon caused evacuation of areas of the State Beach and an RV park, as well as closure of Highway 101 and the railroad at the height of the fire Thursday afternoon. More than 200 firefighters and a set of helicopters and fixed-wing aircraft fought the fire into submission despite high winds. The cause has not yet been determined. All 174 rape kits S.B. County sent to the Bureau of Forensic Services in 2018 have been processed, the state Department of Justice stated, as were those sent in previous years. Not all California law enforcement agencies are as speedy, said Chino’s State Senator Connie M. Leyva, whose Senate Bill 22 was signed by the governor and mandates rape kits be sent to labs within 20 days of collection and processed within 120 days. More than 13,600 rape kits remain untested in the state, according to End the Backlog.

CAMPED OUT: This week, the City Council’s Ordinance Committee passed a measure that will make it easier for city police to impound personal belongings stored on public sidewalks or other public spaces. Above, CJ lays on the sidewalk on Palm Avenue alongside his friends’ belongings.

CITY

City Hall to Impound Homeless People’s Private Property on City Streets by Nick Welsh ike every other coastal city in California scrambling to respond to the persistent challenge of chronic homelessness, Santa Barbara now finds itself caught going in opposite directions simultaneously. At the same time City Hall is spending a couple million bucks in state emergency homeless funds to secure better services for the most vulnerable on the street, the City Council’s Ordinance Committee is passing measures that will make life considerably less comfortable for them. This week, the committee passed a measure that will make it easier for city police to impound personal belongings stored on public sidewalks or other public spaces. The ordinance — if enacted by the council as a whole — will allow police to impound any belongings bigger than a large backpack with four hours’ notice. It will also allow immediate impoundment in areas where warning signs are posted within 50 feet of the personal property. City Attorney Ariel Calonne suggested areas like the courthouse would be likely candidates for immediate impoundment rules. The city, he said, should have “no tolerance for leaving packages capable of concealing mass-casualty types of weapons.” Councilmember Randy Rowse noted that a couple such packages had been left at City Hall, though with no deadly effect. Under the ordinance, any impounded property worth $100 or more will be stored up to 90 days at the police station or the public works yard at no charge to the owner. After that, it will be sold or destroyed.

Longtime homeless advocate Peter Marin was outraged by the proposal. Anything impounded from the streets, he predicted, would be worth less than $100. The four hours’ notice, he charged, was meaningless, especially for physically handicapped homeless people forced to find a new place to park themselves and their belongings. “They’ve got no alternative where to store their stuff,” he said. Calonne took pains to stress that this measure does not criminalize homeless people. Marin, who has frequently crossed swords with Calonne, wasn’t having it. “It’s not an ordinance,” he blasted. “It’s permission to do whatever you want.” Councilmember Oscar Gutierrez said not one word but voted for the new ordinance. Rowse did too, arguing, “The public right of way is not a storage space” and that the confiscated property might pose a “biohazard” or attract rats. Only Councilmember Kristin Sneddon voted against the measure. “I don’t understand where these people are supposed go or what they’re supposed to do,” she stated. If and when the city created a day center for the homeless, she added, she might be inclined to support such an ordinance. To date, homeless service providers have conspired to open a “pop-up day center” but for just one day in July. The results were positive: 81 people showed up, and there were no incidents. They are hoping to host another daylong pop-up event sometime this December or January. The hope is to work out any logistical kinks and achieve community buy-in before proposing a more permanent

facility. Until that happens, no place will exist where people on the street can secure their belongings. (Mayor Cathy Murillo said afterward she intended to find a suitable storage space.) Meanwhile, the “housing first” approach to homeless treatment and response care has been blamed for a small but notable uptick in evictions from city Housing Authority properties, such as El Carrillo Apartments, which offer permanent transitional housing. The housing-first model — mandated now for recipients of many federal and state homeless grants — contends the best way to help the most vulnerable is by housing them and bombarding them with services. However, the addition of fresh-from-thestreet newcomers unaccustomed to living with others does not always sit well with established tenants. Last week, Rob Fredericks and Alice Gleghorn, respectively the executive directors of the city Housing Authority and county Department of Behavioral Wellness, met at a public meeting to discuss growing pains induced by this apparent problem. While the Housing Authority stressed the issues leading to a handful of recent eviction are more complex than “housing first,” its representatives stressed the need for more structured supportive housing to handle the array of needs. Both sides agreed that housing alone is not enough; the right kind of services applied with the appropriate frequency is also key. “You need the whole enchilada to have a meal,” said Gleghorn. “You can’t just pull out the meat n and say we’ve solved the problem.”

In response to recent rumors that Earl Warren Showgrounds might be closing its doors, the nonprofit has set the record straight that the 60-year-old facility will remain open. A recent GoFundMe fundraiser claiming “there is only enough money to last until November” and asking the public’s help in reaching its $400,000 goal is not affiliated with Earl Warren Showgrounds in any way, said Michael Medel, president of the showgrounds’ Board of Directors.

EDUCATION Dos Pueblos High’s dean of students, Marshall Webb, abruptly resigned from his position effective 10/15 after fewer than four months on the job. Webb previously served as the principal of Sierra Vista Charter High School in Tulare before being placed on administrative leave following his wife’s arrest for an alleged sexual relationship with a student. S.B. school district spokesperson Camie Barnwell said there had been no “complaints received or performance issues” during Webb’s tenure at DP but that the district could not legally comment further on the matter. After losing his lawsuit against the Santa Barbara Unified School District, demoted San Marcos High principal Ed Behrens is appealing the ruling. In her May decision, Judge Pauline Maxwell had said that the district didn’t need any specific reasons to demote Behrens, as he was an “at will” employee. In addition to seeking reinstatement to his former position, Behrens is also seeking back pay. Dos Pueblos High School was on lockout for about two hours on 10/19 “due to an anonymous report … that active shooters would come onto campus,” said school district spokesperson Camie Barnwell. “The lockout was lifted after Dos Pueblos High School officials and Santa Barbara Sheriff’s Office conducted a thorough investigation, resulting

No Power, Big Worry

he potential loss of electricity promised by Southern California Edison had many Santa Barbarans on edge this past weekend. Some are outraged they can’t sign up for an advance warning of a Public Safety Power Shutoff, while others have found the maps at Edison’s website indecipherable. “There’s no simple answer,” said Robert Villegas, one of Edison’s many upbeat spokespeople. “We’ve been in business for 130 years. Compared to other operations we do, we don’t have quite as much experience with messaging, which have been our protocol since 2017. We’re still working through it.” The company worried about message fatigue, too: “We send one every 24 hours until an all clear is called,” he said. As for signing up more than one person per household for alerts, they need the billing account number, he explained. “You can receive an alert via email, a telephone call, or a text,” said Villegas, suggesting that the account-holder make the contact for each be a different family member. The alert system is closed for security reasons, he explained: “We don’t want to give outage

boundaries for maintenance, for instance, to go to anyone but our customers.” Edison is working to upgrade its equipment as quickly as possible, Villegas promised, which has its own downside as homeowners find a stronger but broader pole in their view, festooned with a greater variety of circuit interrupters and spark arrestors. “If it’s blowing really hard,” he said, “lines could come together. But it’s more typical that tree branches or palm fronds land in the lines,” creating a short-circuit that causes flame. It’s the seasoned “troublemen” on the ground, sent by the winds predicted by Edison’s weathermen to areas where vegetation could likely meet power equipment, who report to Edison brass that a situation is brewing, such as loose stuff getting into the lines. That’s the most likely scenario that gets the power turned off, Villegas explained. Help is in the future for the maps, Villegas said. Edison is working on an interactive map that lets customers type in their address. It’s a work in progress, and there’s no completion —Jean Yamamura date yet, he said.

he superintendent of the Santa Barbara Unifed School District, Cary Matsuoka, announced his plan to retire Tuesday night, following months of public scrutiny. He listed his 87-year-old widowed mother and his three sons as the main reasons for retirement. “As I share my story with you, it will be clear my decision to retire has nothing to do with public comments over the past six months,” Matsuoka said. “My identity as a person is not tied to my job performance, what you think about me, or your approval of me. … I know who I am and nothing you do or say will move me off my identity, integrity, or how I do my job.” The nearly 150 people in the audience cheered at the announcement, which was given in the Marjorie Luke Theatre at Santa Barbara Junior High to accommodate the large crowd. School boardmembers commended Matsuoka for his accomplishments. Board President Wendy Sims-Moten made clear that the board did not ask Matsuoka to leave.

It has been an extremely tumultuous time for the district. More than 800 people signed a petition asking Matsuoka not to extend his contract, and board meetings have been packed since the previous school board controversially demoted Ed Behrens, then principal of San Marcos High School, in March 2018. Members from Fair Education, a nonprofit group of about 300 community members and district parents, filed a lawsuit against the district for its partnership with Just Communities, a nonprofit that provides implicit-bias education at the district. Elise Simmons, principal of Santa Barbara High School, however, voiced support for the superintendent and for Just Communities, saying: “The Fair Education group is working hard to dismantle the hard work of our educators every day.” Multiple principals took to the podium to support Matsuoka, who has been with the district since 2016. His contract ends June 30, 2020. —Delaney Smith

On Sunday, October 20, Painted Cave residents watched in anger and astonishment as Chief Kevin Buckley and a small contingent of supporters waved mocking goodbyes while they drove the department’s fleet of engines and support SUVs to Mission City Auto in Goleta. By Tuesday morning, most of the vehicles were gone, except for a wood chipper and a red Chevy Suburban. Phil Seymour, an attorney, former hotshot for the Forest Service, and member of the ad hoc committee of 16 Painted Cave residents and firefighters suing Buckley, wondered if the liquidation was legal. One of the department’s engines was purchased with a FEMA grant. “He could face criminal penalties,” Seymour said. “We’ll be pursuing all possible remedies.” The original lawsuit, filed in March, sprang out of concerns over the last several years by the mountain community that Buckley and the department’s board of directors were running the organization—a tax-exempt nonprofit subject to opengovernment rules — with “incompetence and secretive management style.” Meetings were held in private and any efforts, even by previous band members, who have since resigned in frustration, to access basic financial records were met with “furious resistance.” The complaint accuses the current board and Buckley, who has served as chief since 1998, of perpetrating a “major misappropriation of funds.” That included paying Buckley—a “volunteer”—an annual salary of $60,000 and allowing him, “either

directly or through his graphic art firm Buckley Design,” to receive over $675,000 in department funds since 2005, which he reportedly used to buy a 62 flat-screen TV and make multiple trips to Disneyland, among other personal purchases. For many years, a large portion of the department’s budget was covered by private donations from the Pierre Claeyssens Veterans Foundation. The complaint also alleges Buckley received checks for contract work that never happened or carried price tags that were “grossly inflated.”

In August, Judge Thomas Anderle ruled in favor of Seymour and the committee. He ordered the department to start holding public meetings and turn over financial documents. The board’s lawyers had argued that doing so would be so costly and timeconsuming that it would mean the end of the department. Anderle stated in his ruling, however, that they presented “no evidence of any cost associated with holding open meetings, nor does it quantify any inconvenience.” Seymour said this week that he’d hoped the decision would make Buckley and board “see the light.” Instead, they continue to fight the order as they dismantle the 54-year-old organization. “We underestimated how creepy and evil these people are,” he said.

the number of wells, Aera would have to deploy directional “slant” drills, which require more energy and produce more air pollution, Messing said. Planning Commission chair John Parke put all the Cat Canyon oil companies on notice that the commission is looking for projects with no net increase in greenhouse gases and an actual reduction in the number of truck trips. (If all projects were approved as initially proposed, they’d generate 12 million miles of truck travel on county roads a year, Parke stated.) Rust said Aera is not proposing a solar component at Cat Canyon due to the impact the required infrastructure would have on wildlife habitat, but Parke noted that the solar power could be produced elsewhere and transmitted to Cat Canyon via the grid. Rust acknowledged that Aera — or any company — would be hard-pressed to find local offsets for any greenhouse-gas emissions its project produced, but said, “When we see a challenge, we’re up to it.” He added, “People will be really surprised” by what Aera proposes. “We’ll be coming up with something that’s really amazing.” —Nick Welsh

County Seeks Input on Homelessness “

t’s an exciting time,” said Kim Albers, a sentiment not often heard in connection with homeless housing. What excites Albers is she’s in the right place at the right time — the state will be unleashing $1 billion in 2020 to tackle homelessness, and the county is in Phase 2 of its Community Action Plan to Address Homelessness. Albers is guiding the latter as the county’s Homeless Assistance Program manager and launching Phase 2 with three meetings next week in Santa Maria, Santa Barbara, and Lompoc to get community feedback and dispense information. Albers embarked on Phase 1 fully aware of how underfunded the options were. The first phase gave a snapshot of the variety of people who make up the homeless population and the resources currently deployed around the county, said Albers, but also displayed what was lacking: housing. “What we learned in Phase 1 was what works,” said Albers’s cohort Dinah Lockhart, deputy director of the county’s Housing and Community Division. “What works

is permanent housing for higher-needs homeless neighbors.” The permanent supportive housing built by the county’s and city’s respective Housing Authorities have “graduated” their tenants in three to five years. Over time, said Albers, nearly all tenants stuck with the program of social and mental support; 60 percent increased their income and their ability to take care of themselves. Based on homeless services given in 2018, something like 3,000 people were homeless at some time in the county, Albers said. The upcoming community meetings are part of the regional planning effort to help more homeless people into housing with full community support, said Albers, and ahead of a February deadline on a $650 million grant from Assembly Bill 101. Those meetings take place at Santa Maria Public Library on October 28 (11:30 a.m.-1:30 p.m.), the Unitarian Society of S.B. on October 29 (11:30 a.m.-1:30 p.m.), and Lompoc’s Dick DeWees Community/Senior Center on October 30 —Jean Yamamura (6-8 p.m.).

La Casa Launches GoFundMe Plea

eports of La Casa de la Raza’s demise, like that of Mark Twain’s, might have been greatly exaggerated, but the financially embattled Latino cultural center has just launched a $2 million GoFundMe drive as a last-ditch effort to save its East Montecito Street digs from imminent foreclosure. In addition, La Casa has two new executive codirectors, Dr. Andrea Medina and Ana Huyhn, and a new board president. Whether that’s enough will soon be seen because La Casa’s doomsday clock is ticking loudly. October 24 is the deadline for La Casa’s creditor, Tomas Castello, to serve notice that he intends to foreclose. Once he does, La Casa will have 30 days to come up with the $1.1 million Castello — who served as the organization’s very first executive — says he is owed. Three years ago, Castello paid off the bank threatening to foreclose the $523,000 that was then owed. Since then, Castelo claims the accrued late fees, interest, and legal costs he incurred to fight court battles waged against him by La Casa’s previous board leadership have added an additional $600,000. La Casa was officially founded in 1971, when it bought a former lumber warehouse and transformed it into what became a cultural and political center for the South Coast’s Latino and activist communities. For the past 10 years, La Casa has been dogged by such intense legal and financial problems that when it attempted to declare bankruptcy a few years ago, a judge ruled the board was not legally constituted to even pull the plug on itself. La Casa’s new leadership is attempting to rectify these problems, which will require a new election of a new board by La Casa members. Then, of course, there is the matter of money. In addition to the $1.1 million needed by Castelo, the IRS is demanding

more than $250,000 and the county tax collectors are demanding $70,000 in unpaid property taxes. Late last year, the Santa Barbara City Housing Authority had agreed to loan La Casa $1.5 million in hopes of preserving some of La Casa’s current programs on the site while transforming the rest into affordable housing. This May, the Housing Authority pulled out of the deal when its board was twice informed that La Casa would need more money than that. If La Casa has any hopes of surviving, the new leadership needs to come to terms with Castelo — a shrewd and polarizing attorney and real estate operator — whom the previous board leadership personally reviled and attacked in court with little to show but expensive legal bills. Castelo’s attorney Tony Fischer said he and his client have met with the two new codirectors and found them to be “very impressive, very realistic, and extremely thorough.” —Nick Welsh

OFF TRIAL: Mark Melchiori (center) pleaded guilty to three counts of fraud that carry a maximum sentence of nine years behind bars on the day his trial was set to begin.

Melchiori Pleads Guilty Day of Trial

he day that Judge James Herman was set to bang the gavel of Mark Melchiori’s construction fraud trial to order, Melchiori — once a lion among Santa Barbara’s high-profile contractors — pleaded guilty to three counts of fraud that carry a maximum sentence of nine years behind bars. “When you start pulling out the trial binders, that’s when the rubber hits the road,” commented prosecuting attorney Casey Nelson. Even if imposed, the nine-year sentence is considerably less than the 47-year maximum that was suggested when charges were first brought against Melchiori, who is accused of bilking Hollywood director Robert Zemeckis of at least $400,000 for a protracted home remodel job that started nearly nine years ago. In addition, Melchiori is accused of short-changing an indeterminate number of employees and contractors an as-yet-unspecified amount for work performed. The total amount involved is said to be in the neighborhood of $1 million. The fraud was discovered, Nelson stated, only after all work on the remodel stopped.

Nelson stressed that he will seek jail time at sentencing. Melchiori’s defense attorney, Doug Hayes, noted that his client pleaded guilty to only three of the 47 criminal counts against him. Hayes acknowledged his client broke the law but cautioned that it’s not uncommon for many in the construction industry to use funds from one job to finance other projects. “To call him a criminal is to label a whole lot of people in that business ‘criminal,’” Hayes noted. Hayes took exception with Nelson’s charge that Melchiori financed a “lavish personal lifestyle” with Zemeckis’s money, but he acknowledged Melchiori used the funds to cover “personal expenses.” Melchiori, Hayes noted, is 52 and has no criminal record. To the extent Judge Herman orders restitution on behalf of Melchiori’s victims, Hayes argued putting his client behind bars will make that exceptionally difficult if not impossible. How much restitution is required, prosecutor Nelson stated, has not been precisely tabulated yet. —Nick Welsh

Where There’s Fire, There’s Fire cont’d from p. 11 “They’re just completely out of touch with reality.” While Buckley has maintained relationships with a handful of loyalists, a much larger share of the 200 or so residents of the Painted Cave neighborhood are firmly on the side of the committee. More than 90 residents showed up at a community gathering to demand information from Buckley and his band. In a prepared response, the boardmembers have accused their critics of attempting a “hostile takeover” and “smear campaign.” They suggested some of the former volunteers were guilty of their own “improper behavior,” including taking an engine out of the county without permission, and they claimed the case could set a dangerous standard for adhering to open-government rules. “The Board has a broader responsibility to see

that this frivolous legal action based on the self-interest and greed of a few members of a small community does NOT set a legal precedent that could damage or destroy volunteer fire departments statewide,” their statement reads. Now that the Painted Cave Volunteer Fire Department has ceased to exist, Seymour and a crew of former members have created the Mountain Ember Team to protect the community. They’ve been cutting fuel breaks and weeding alongside roads, and strategizing how best to put out spot fires ignited by flying embers, the biggest threat to the neighborhood and the inspiration for the new group’s name. Buckley, meanwhile, recently lost the lease on his Painted Cave home and moved out. He’s storing his belongings in the closed-up firehouse. n

HOT ENOUGH FOR YOU: I was grabbing some much-needed shade last Sunday up at the Mesa shopping center, lurking in the cool shadows between the Chinese restaurant and the laundromat. I happened to be sipping a 7-Up as I contemplated all the things I should be doing. The wind, which was threatening untold scary mischief, was mercifully holding back. It was one of those excruciatingly beautiful autumn days. I was in no hurry. A car in the parking lot fired up. With a flick of the wrist — or a push of the finger — we can have a stampede of 300 horses at our beck and call to pick up a quart of milk. Amazing. Crazy. I contemplated my 7-Up. Back in the day — for more than 20 years, it turns out — they put lithium in 7-Up. Like how they spiked Coca-Cola with cocaine, but in a kinder, softer direction. To this day, lithium remains one of the most effective mood stabilizers for people dealing with bipolar disorders. And suicidal thoughts, too. No one knows how it works, just that it does. You don’t hear much about lithium anymore. It’s a naturally occurring element. In other words, you can’t patent it. Why spend millions marketing something that can’t be monopolized?

The Dog Next Time

Another nearby car fired up. Another sustained series of contained explosions. Another mundane marvel of modern engineering. I’d read a report put out earlier that week by Beacon Economics warning that California is 30 years away from meeting its climate change goals for the year 2030 and 100 years from meeting its greenhouse gas reductions for the year 2050. Wildfire was a major reason. But the big one was transportation. Forty-one percent of our air emissions are generated by our mundane miracles. Given the number and intensity of wildfires, maybe our explosions aren’t really that contained. Yes, more people have to drive more miles because that’s reality. But so is stupidity. In 2017, nearly 60 percent of the registered vehicles in California were SUVs, light pickup trucks, and mini vans. Five years before, it was not quite 40 percent. I recently read that the head of the EPA threatened to cut off $300 million in Clean Water funds to the state of California, because San Francisco was supposedly allowing mountains of homeless feces to flow improperly into our natural waterways. Turned out it was just another retaliatory threat from the White House

because California is insisting on imposing tighter fuel standards than the national

EPA wants to allow. Thirteen other states followed California’s lead. The EPA officials in the San Francisco office had to inform their counterparts in Washington, D.C., that there was no truth to their horror stories — no untreated homeless poop,

no free-floating syringes.

We live in the age of stories, not facts. Did you know they used to put lithium in 7-Up? It’s worth noting that former county supervisor Mike Stoker was appointed by the White House to run the regional office. Stoker, conspicuously, did not attend that meeting but backs up all the scary stuff his boss says. Maybe they should put lithium back in. But in the meantime, maybe we don’t need to ride 300 horses to pick up that quart of milk. Not all habits have to die hard. New alternatives are now available that allow some to die easy deaths. In the next couple of weeks, Santa Barbara’s much-maligned City Hall will select the winning company that will launch a ride-share program bringing 300 new bikes to Santa Barbara’s urban landscape. One of the three applicants, Trek, is proposing to make all 300 electric bikes. The other two applicants include a mix of electric and traditional bikes. The thing about electric bikes? They’re

powered by lithium batteries. When discussing the new bike-share program, a traffic planner at City Hall talked to me about making transportation “a joyous experience.” Joyous? I figure he must have been sipping some of that old-school 7-Up. But I get the point. A few weeks back, I took a test ride on a medium-priced, high-performance, fancy-pants electric bike. I pointed the bike up the steepest hills I could find and hit “play.” With pedal assist, I cruised up Cabrillo going 20 miles an hour. I pedaled the whole way. But I didn’t have to stand up. There was no huff, no puff. Joyous? I had just cheated gravity and got away with it. Isaac Newton, eat your heart out. I was downright giddy. The electric bike compresses the timespace continuum big time. As such, it’s become a genuine utilitarian alternative for many of those trips five miles or less. It may not get you everywhere you need to go, just most of them. When was the last time anyone described sitting in traffic as “joyous?” As I swigged the remains of the 7-Up, I thought about what that hotheaded orator Patrick Henry might say if he were still alive. My hunch? “Give me lithium or give —Nick Welsh me death.”

Elin Mary Pratt

4/17/1928 - 9/7/2019

Elin Mary Pratt was a musician, community activist and a wonderful friend, mother and sister. Elin helped start the Santa Barbara Chapter of the National Organization for Women, which advocated for the passage of the Equal Rights Amendment and other ways to empower women. Elin was one of the founding members of the University of California Santa Barbara Women’s Center. She was a long-time board member of both the Santa Barbara Arts Commission and the Santa Barbara Chapter of the United Nations. Elin was also a talented musician: both a cellist and pianist. She played the cello at many Santa Barbara community events such as at the French Festival, Fiesta Days and with the Lompoc Pops Orchestra. Elin pursued her interest in psychology by earning her master’s degree in Confluent Education (which used psychology in teaching methods) at UC Santa Barbara in the 1980s and by getting involved with a group called re-evaluation counseling, a form of peer counseling. Elin is survived by two younger sisters. Joan Stein and Nancy Graham (Claire Graham) and her three children, Karl Scheff (Theresa Stutz), Robin Scheff and Julie Scheff (Ralph McDaniel) and two granddaughters, Elizabeth and Emily Scheff (Sean Morales).

William Spangler

8/21/1923 – 10/4/2019

Bill passed away October 4, 2019 at the age of 96. He had a great, long 96 years, beginning in Pittsburg, PA in August 1923. Born to C.P Spangler & Cora E. Stark, Bill and his brothers George & Robert were raised in the same house until they finished high school. During high school, Bill met Thalia Jean (TJ) Harmany at church. They got better acquainted working together on the school newspaper. In his senior year, Bill was both the Editor in Chief of the newspaper and his Senior Class President. After one year at the University of Michigan, Bill accepted an appointment to the U.S. Naval Academy. He distinguished himself as a leader of men; rising to the position of Commander of 9th Company. On June 6, 1945, Bill was commissioned an Ensign in the U.S. Navy. Three days later, on June 9, 1945, Bill and TJ got married. After a short and sweet honeymoon, Bill shipped off on the USS Astoria into the Pacific Theater of WW II. During his 30-year Naval career, Bill was involved in

INDEPENDENT.COM

WW II, the Korean War and the Vietnam War. He earned his MS in Civil Engineering, and had many interesting duty assignments in Japan, Spain, Hawaii, and London, England. His final assignment was as Commander-inChief of U.S. Naval Forces – United Kingdom, and U.S. Naval Representative to NATO for Facilities Management. Upon retiring from the Navy in 1975, Bill stayed in London and took a job with Bechtel as project manager of the construction of 3 oil platforms in the North Sea. The 9 years spent in London were Bill and TJ’s most fun years, full of travel and meeting interesting people (including having tea with Queen Elizabeth II). When TJ was diagnosed with cancer, Bill left Bechtel and moved to Santa Barbara in 1981. After his beloved wife, TJ passed away in 1983, Bill threw himself into numerous civic and charitable activities. Over the next 30 years, the list of his activities included serving as the chief engineer on the installation of the Santa Barbara landmark Dolphin Fountain, serving as Moderator of the S.B. Congregational Church, serving as President of SCORE- S.B. chapter, member of the Cosmopolitan Club and many other groups and committees in Santa Barbara and at Valle Verde Retirement Community where he lived for the past 22 years. Bill was generous and kind, a man of integrity and strong character. He was a role model for the admonition, “Do the right thing.” His real passions were family and travel. He loved his 3 sons and their families and extended families and enjoyed every occasion that he spent with them.

Bill married Vivian Moore in 1984, and they enjoyed family and travel together for the next 12 years, until Vivian passed away. Love came knocking yet again, and in 2001 Bill and Virginia “Gini” Sutton, a friend of 50 years, were married. Their honeymoon flight to Italy landed in Rome just hours after the terrorists struck the World Trade Center and the Pentagon on 9-11-2001. Gini’s love for family and travel matched Bill’s, so they spent most of the next 13 years pursuing their passions. Gini passed away on Christmas Day 2014. “Grandpa Bill” out lived his two brothers, his three wives and two of his sons, Mark and Neal. He is, however, survived and greatly missed by his son, Reed Spangler and wife, Yvonne, daughter-in-law Mary Donnelly, granddaughters Holly Eubank, Christine Hoerning, and Mary Eileen Taylor, grandson, Eric Spangler, their spouses and his 9 great grandchildren, as well as the members of the Moore and Sutton families that Bill married into. The family gives it’s sincere thanks to the caring staff of the Grove at Valle Verde for the love, patience, kindness and professional care given to Bill during the last years of his life, and gratitude to the staff of Assisted Hospice Care for their excellent care, as well. A memorial service will be held Saturday, Oct. 26 at 10:30 am at the Quail Lodge Lounge at Valle Verde, 930 Senda Verde, Santa Barbara, CA 93105. Bill will be buried with honors at Arlington National Cemetery, Washington. D.C. Donations in Bill’s memory may be made to Unity Shoppe of Santa Barbara, 1209 State St, Santa Barbara, CA 93101.

Raymond J Martinez

Jesse “J” Fierros

Raymond J Martinez passed away peacefully on Friday, September 13, 2019 at the age of 90 years old. Raymond was born on April 14, 1929 in Santa Barbara to Ramon Martinez and Esther Martinez (Robles). He attended local schools, including Santa Barbara High School, which he left at the age of 17 to join the United States Marine Corps. On November 29, 1952, he married the love of his life Lucy Sanchez. Raymond was a member of the Construction Laborers Union for 25 years. He retired at the young age of 48. He dedicated his retirement to his three grandchildren, volunteering at Notre Dame School Festivals, and delivering groceries for the Santa Barbara Food Bank to the Native American community. He was always willing to give a helping hand where needed. He is survived by his beloved wife of 67 years, Lucy, his two sons, Richard and David (Debbie), his grandson, David (Brittany), his two granddaughters, Allison and Karson, and his great granddaughter, Dylan. The family would like to thank all of the staff at Mission Terrace for taking such good care of Raymond during the last 2 years. Their love and support meant the world to us. There will be a Celebration of Life on Saturday, November 9th at Tuckers Grove (Area 3) at noon.

Jesse “J” Fierros born in Delano, CA, on October 14, 1943, the third of five children. He passed away in utter peace surrounded by his family at his home on October 15, the day after his 75th birthday. Brought up from Los Angeles as a premier hairstylist by Robinsons Department stores, his life was devoted to the care and beauty of women via his hairstyling talent. His genuine connection to people was far more than his profession, as he cared deeply about people and followed his clientele and their families as well as friends throughout the ups and downs of their lives. Owner of Caritas Salon in 1970s and 80s, he transitioned to Heads Above the Rest, Ibiza and finally Headlines & Co. among other salons. His devoted clientele often moved with him. Some he cared for after they were no longer able to come to him, and at times he would even coif them at home, such was his devotion. A Sai Baba devotee and spiritual and asana student, J became a yoga teacher in the lineage of Krishnamacharya, whose student Indra Devi brought yoga to America and taught J’s own longtime spiritual and yoga teacher, the late Helene Vreeland. J travelled to India multiple times and lived a peaceful and exemplary life full of laughter and touching many lives with his enduring spirit. He is survived by his sister, Esther Fierros Tegio (Papa) of Modesto, CA; brother Alex Fierros

A Santa Barbara celebration of J’s life will be held at Headlines & Co. hair salon at 25 W Mission Street on Sunday October 27, 11a.m. -1 p.m. All are welcome. In accordance with Jesse’s wishes, a family memorial will be held in Delano where his ashes, together with the ashes of his fur family, will be interred with his father, Alejandro Fierros.

Cynthia Coates Trieger 8/15/1951 - 9/2/2019

including book club, handbell choir, and the church committee, as well as volunteering countless hours with various activities and events. She is survived by her children, Amy and Jack Trieger of Santa Barbara, sister Betsy Meehan (Tim) of Solvang, CA and niece Katie Norby (Geoff) and their children Gavin and Lauren Norby of Fort Collins, CO. She was predeceased by her parents, younger brother Tom Coates, and niece Lauren Meehan. A memorial service is planned for November 2nd, 2019 at 3:00pm at Trinity Lutheran Church, 909 N. La Cumbre Rd. in Santa Barbara. Donations may be made in her memory to Trinity Lutheran Church or Food From the Heart.

Virginia Ann Townley 7/30/1953 - 10/3/2019

Cindie passed away peacefully at home surrounded by her loving family on September 2nd, 2019 at the age of 68. She was born on August 15th, 1951 in St. Clair, Michigan to John and Marilyn Coates. She spent her early years in Detroit and Marine City, Mich. and held many fond memories of growing up with friends and family there. In May of 1962, her father was transferred with General Motors to Santa Barbara, where she attended Hollister Elementary, La Colina Junior High, San Marcos High School and UCSB, where she received a degree in Speech and Hearing Therapy. Cindie was very active within her church community, attending and later working at Trinity Lutheran Church in Santa Barbara. She was involved in many programs throughout her time there,

Virginia Ann (Ann, Annie) Townley, resident of Goleta, CA passed away on October 3, 2019, in Santa Barbara, CA. Ann was born in 1953 in Ogallala, NE to Norman Lee Townley, Sr. and Virginia Bellelo Townley. The family relocated to Gering, NE in 1965 where Ann graduated from Gering High School (Go Bulldogs!) in 1971. Following in her mother’s footsteps, Ann entered into the nursing profession after graduating from the Nebraska Western College LPN program. Shortly after, she headed west to California where she put down roots in the Santa Barbara community. Ann continued to develop her nursing skills by obtaining both her RN and later her BSN from UC Santa Barbara. Ann provided 30+

INDEPENDENT.COM

years of service to Cottage Hospital and Cottage patients. The majority of her career was in the ICU where she was respected and loved by both her colleagues and her patients. Outside of her nursing career, Ann also pursued many hobbies which allowed her to enjoy the outdoors. She was a selftaught photographer, artist, bird enthusiast, gardener, and knitter. Ann enjoyed jogging and logged many miles along the Central California coast, both alone and with friends. Often she would return from camping, motorcycle riding, or national park adventures with stories, photos, and occasionally a rock or two. Her door was always open and she was ready to embark upon adventures far and wide with her wonderful group of friends, studying the flora and fauna of her many destinations. Neighbors, friends, colleagues, and all who knew her describe her as a peaceful and loving soul, quick to befriend anyone who had the chance to meet her, taking a sincere interest in their talents and always willing to share her own. Countless memories remain, the greatest of which is her love. Ann is survived by her canine companion and walking buddy, Zella; brother Norman Townley, Jr. and sister-in-law Mary; nieces Elizabeth (Jay) and Laura (Jason); great nieces and nephews Lucas, Virginia Belle, Elmer, Macey Ann, and Michael; and many friends who became family. A memorial will be planned for later in November. Arrangements are being coordinated through McDermott Crockett. In lieu of flowers, donations may be made in her honor to the National Audubon Society or the Santa Barbara Serenity House Appreciation Garden.

Vote Jason Dominguez

ason Dominguez should be reelected to the Santa Barbara City Council from District 1. During his first term on the Council, Jason has been a highly effective member. He is constantly meeting with constituents, finding out concerns, and working on people’s behalf. If this has sometimes resulted in controversy, it’s because for too long the Eastside has been a dumping ground and ignored by the rest of the community. At last, with Jason Dominguez, there is a member of the City Council who is standing up for the Eastside. Jason is very intelligent and a good listener. He works effectively with all parts of the community. He is a moderate Democrat who cares about the environment and is fiscally responsible. He has a record of accomplishment that the other candidates in this race cannot match. Residents of the Eastside will be well served by reelecting Jason Dominguez. He is making a positive difference on the City Council.

The same people who vote for higher minimum wage, employee benefits, child labor protections, and environmental issues are often the same folks raving about Target, which manufactures goods and outsources 90 percent of its human capital in third-world countries to avoid our labor and environmental laws. Think global, buy local — or just don’t buy it, and reuse or recycle.

Farmers’ Market Fairness

he Farmers’ Market Board of Directors is a diverse collection of farmers elected by our membership. We met with every Santa Barbara city councilmember equally and requested support through the difficult process of relocating the Saturday Market to make way for a new police station. In response, City Council agreed to form a committee to facilitate the city’s pledged support. On October 15, since more than three councilmembers were interested in serving on the committee, the council voted to select the three who would serve. The S.B. Certified Farmers’ Market Association maintains there should be no conflict between public safety and food security. We expect city governance to uphold this same set of values. Governing officials must swear an oath of office to uphold the Constitution of the United States. However, public service has an implicit mandate to protect the “health, safety, and well-being” of the community. The article last week quotes Councilmember Oscar Gutierrez referring to farmers as “outside business owners” and questions “who the market truly serves.” Farms that sell at the Saturday Market are local, family-owned businesses maintaining an ancient tradition of bringing produce from outlying areas to create a marketplace for urban people to access fresh food. The use of public space is a small subsidy the city provides and is the minimum requirement for such an event. More than 7,000 signatures were gathered from the community being served, requesting that the Saturday Market remain in its current location. This powerful mandate indicates that there is broad support for the market from the residents of Santa Barbara. It is rare to find a collective of small business owners as diverse as the SBCFMA, or to identify another place in Santa Barbara where people of all ethnic backgrounds, income levels, and sexual orientations feel more comfortable, safe, accepted, and nourished. —Noey Turk, President, SBCFMA

For the Record

¶ Last week’s “Race Woes in Farmers’ Market Move?” should have said 27 of the market’s 118 farm owners are non-white, not Latino, and the $2,762 is paid to the city as tax, not rent.

District 2 Endorsement: Brian Campbell Responds

BY BRIAN CAMPBELL n October 17, 2019, the

Santa Barbara Independent mistakenly printed an article leading its readership to assume false ideas about what I stand for. I want to formally state my opinions here so there aren’t any miscommunications or misunderstandings. First and foremost, I am a firm believer in climate change. It is our responsibility to create change with our actions in regard to our role in greenhouse-gas emissions. In order to help fight pollution, I have always stated that we should be mindful of where we spend our money and not support countries or businesses that don’t have regulated, enforced, environmentally conscious policies in place. Since climate change is causing sea levels to rise one inch every eight years (as stated by the NOAA), Santa Barbara must protect our infrastructure and prioritize policies that protect us. My decision to run for City Council began as a family/public safety issue stemming from two incidents with homeless men creating an unsafe situation during school hours at Washington Elementary, where my kids attend school. Then, several parents noticed homeless men taking pictures of the children playing on the soccer field. I do not believe I am “exaggerating beyond recognition our city’s home-

less problems,” as stated in the same article. Our downtown is overrun by homeless people, which is causing stress to local businesses, residents, and visitors. I have had many people come to me expressing concern about being fearful to walk home after work, witnessing illicit drug use, and panhandling. It has become so extreme that local businesses are paying homeless people to leave their properties and hiring people to watch over their front doors. It is distressing and inhumane to watch people struggle to survive on the streets while so many of us are fortunate enough to keep a roof over our heads. Like climate change, chronic homelessness is an issue we as a people need to address sooner rather than later. Thank you for reading. If you have any questions, comments, or concerns regarding my election or my stances on housing, business development, and construction permitting, please visit my website brian4citycouncil. com and write me a message. I personally respond to every message and seriously care about what you have to say! Your voice counts. I am here to listen and represent YOU on our City Council. Please remember to vote! Brian Campbell for District 2 City Council!

Cozy Cannabis Corner BY CATHY HENSZEY AND L I O N E L N E F F

e can’t help noticing

that the Independent set up a Cannabis Corner. Is this a feature to promote the marijuana industry and its products? Will it be dedicated to the pros but no cons of cannabis’ myriad negative impacts to the county? And is the cannabis industry assuming a financial interest to publish this feature? We ask because we live in Carpinteria, one of us near Summerland and the other near Highway 150 — and it stinks from one end of the Carpinteria Valley to the other. Try driving by Santa Claus Lane or near Carpinteria High School with your windows open one evening. No one from the Independent has bothered to interview people like us or quote someone from our community, nor from Santa Ynez or the impacted areas in all five county dis-

tricts. Maybe ask us how many people have respiratory issues? Or talk to the greenhouse workers about trying to wash the odors out of their clothes? Or question those who speak out about the all-too-often harassment by marijuana growers’ agents? A reporter from the Los Angeles Times attended a recent Carp school board meeting, but no one from the Independent. It has been the national media that pays attention to the county’s extraordinary grassroots resistance — what can reasonably be called The Cannabis Coup of Santa Barbara County. We understand the cannabis growers can likely contribute much-needed advertising revenue. But how about the efforts of thousands of county residents, avocado growers, and vintners who have given their hearts, time, and wallets to protect the health and safety of schools, preexisting industries, children, and residents? Do we n also count at your paper?

TEEN TALK: Olivia Seltzer, 15, wakes up at 5 a.m. every morning to write The Cramm newsletter on her laptop before heading off to school at Santa Barbara High. Seltzer writes in a vernacular that appeals to her Gen Z readers so they stay informed about international news.

Teen-Translated NEWS Sophomore Olivia Seltzer Speaks to Gen Z Through The Cramm Newsletter

DELANEY SMITH

hese days, teens are under such tremendous amounts of stress from school and other responsibilities that reports are calling it a psychological epidemic. For Santa Barbara High sophomore Olivia Seltzer, that stress can be compounded with even larger responsibility: She informs hundreds of thousands of her young peers about international news every day. Seltzer is the 15-year-old founder and sole writer of The Cramm (thecramm.com), a curated news site that breaks down daily national and international happenings in a vernacular that speaks directly to its Gen Z readers. Despite the big job, Seltzer keeps a calm-yet-powerful demeanor. At first, she seems to be a quiet introvert, but it quickly becomes clear how careful and deliberate she is about her word choice. “I write The Cramm exactly how I’d talk to my friends out loud,” Seltzer said. “It’s not necessarily about using slang words; it’s about presenting it through the lens and perspective of a young person.” Much of her approach, she said, is about defining unfamiliar terms and adding

more context for young readers, but she never “dumbs it down.” In 2016, she found that her conversations with thenSanta Barbara Junior High classmates became increasingly more focused around President Donald Trump’s election campaign. It was personal to them, as many of her Santa Barbara peers were Latino, some undocumented, and they feared the effect the presidency could have on their families after Trump pledged mass deportations throughout his campaign. Seltzer’s paternal grandfather immigrated to the U.S. from Mexico City, which, along with the Ashkenazi Jewish heritage from the same side of the family, pushed her to get informed about the government leaders whose policies shape the lives of immigrants and other marginalized people. She felt the world needed more activists to protect the most vulnerable, but young people of her generation were not reading the news. How, she asked, can young

people change the world if they don’t know what’s going on in it? Thus, The Cramm was born. “We have dinner as a family most nights and have always talked politics openly with the kids,” said Olivia’s mother, Dana Seltzer. “We don’t censor our conversations with the kids when it comes to that, and we treat them and speak to them like we would our adult friends.” The family includes Dana’s husband, Aaron, and Olivia’s younger brother, 12-year-old Oscar. Dana, an interior designer, said her daughter has had a passion and thirst for knowl— Olivia Seltzer edge long before The Cramm. “Watching her become an older and more confident young woman has been amazing, because when she was younger she was so curious, but she was quiet and shy,” Dana said. “But despite her shyness, she has always been loud on paper.” She said her daughter played around with creating other websites in the past, but The Cramm is what stuck.

‘I write The Cramm exactly how I’d talk to my friends out loud.’

Friday, November 1 into her office to learn more. Simmons shared the news site with the rest of the Santa Barbara High staff and the district superintendent, and she said that now two teachers at the school use Seltzer’s website as part of their class curriculum. One teacher uses it for “current event reflections” in her English class, where she requires students to read The Cramm and then write a reflection about it. “I literally start my day by reading The Cramm while waiting for my car to warm up,” Simmons said. “On the rare occasions that it isn’t posted yet, I immediately call to find out if Olivia is sick, and she almost always is. “My favorite thing about her writing is that she has such a unique style that even I start to pick up on some of the language,” Simmons said, laughing. “I’ll catch myself saying something like ‘TBD’ [to be decided or discussed] in normal conversation as a fullgrown woman.” Seltzer said another goal of The Cramm, besides connecting with young readers, is to cover stories that traditional media tends to ignore or minimize. She said she looks up to Vice, a publication that is known for covering news events that other mainstream publications don’t. She cited the hundreds of wildfires that burned through Indonesia in mid-September as an example because they “were hardly recognized in the media,” which instead focused coverage on the Amazon fires happening around the same time. “I made the Indonesian fires the biggest story of that week,” Seltzer said. “I was like, ‘Why is this not the front page of every news-

paper right now?’ The smog from the fires was so bad that it reached Singapore and Malaysia, hundreds of schools were shut down, but you had to really dig through mainstream media to find reports of it.” Anyone who subscribes to Seltzer’s daily newsletter can receive it via email or through text message, which she claims is the only news aggregate to do so. The daily text is a huge key to success, she explained, because “kids don’t use email.” Young people text, and getting a daily summary of all the world news in a single text message is a convenience that Seltzer has proved will increase Gen Z’s engagement in current events. Seltzer has a larger vision for The Cramm. She wants to start making videos and podcasts of the news because “my generation is more visual.” Once high school is over, she hopes to make a career out of her website with a full staff of paid journalists to cover events and report firsthand. “Most people don’t realize that this is still a one-woman show,” Dana Seltzer said. “Olivia wants to make a career out of this, and I believe she will. People already are asking if they can have positions as volunteers.” And, of course, Seltzer’s plans go even bigger than The Cramm. She plans to go to college to become a human rights attorney, too. But for now, Seltzer will finish her remaining 2.5 years of high school and try to lose some of the stress and enjoy teendom with her friends—so long as she is in bed early enough to get up for her 5 a.m. Cramm wakeup call. n

ou’ve seen them everywhere

from the moment you entered the culture of Southern California — calaveras, those happy skulls that unite the folks on the patio with the punks in the street. A central signifier of the international holiday Día de los Muertos, calaveras provide the point of departure for the Santa Barbara Bowl’s October 26 concert event featuring Lila Downs. A continuation of the Bowl’s annual tradition of supporting Día de los Muertos, the show, which takes place on what is sure to be a festive Saturday night, will feature not only a complete concert by Downs, one of the most popular singers in Mexican history, but also the Grandeza Mexicana Folk Ballet Company and the Mariachi Femenil Flores Mexicanas. Billed as a “celebration of music, dance, and ritual,” the event will fill the Bowl with ofrendas where people may place calaveras as offerings. People are encouraged to wear spectacular costumes and be made up to look like stylized skeletons. For Downs, this rich tapestry of music and ritual combines two key aspects of her career and her personality, as she is at once a great artist and an anthropological activist, someone who engages her audiences on multiple levels and whose artistic aim is to induce pleasures that are rooted in cultural solidarity. It’s why her songs focus on food so frequently, as on her most recent release, 2019’s Al Chile. The album, which was produced by Camilo Lara, stretches to encompass the whole range of contemporary music, from cumbias and rancheras to jazz, folk, and even hip-hop. On it, Downs duets with Norah Jones for the Gillian Welch/ David Rawlings ballad “Dear Someone” and with Chilean singer Gepe on “Sé Feliz.” There’s also a funky cover of Manu Chao’s “Clandestino” and plenty of other spicy hotness to add flavor to the heavenly core of Downs’s unforgettable voice. I spoke with Downs by phone last week as she was preparing for the Los Angeles leg of the tour. She is always a refreshing interview and loves to share her deep insight into the creative conflicts that define our hybrid California culture.

CALAVERA

You will be playing on the Saturday before the actual holiday, but this still counts as a Día de los Muertos event, right? In Mexico, we start preparing for Día de los Muertos at least two weeks before the actual day, so this show falls well within the festive period. We go crazy for this whole time, especially the mothers who make the ofrendas.

There’s more to the phrase “al chile” than just the idea of something spicy. What else does it mean, and why did you choose it for the title of your new album? I took the expression “al chile,” which means “honestly” or “in truth,” because it comes from folks who are rich in politics, and rich in everything, and because it also conjures up the world of food, all the different varieties of chile. You can savor food; you don’t have to explain it. In the Mexican state of Guerrero, there’s a music scene made up of groups they call “bandas de chile frito,” and a dance tradition that goes along with it. The whole chile thing is also very male, having to do with the heat and whether you can take it. It’s food as a test of machismo. When I saw the credits on the new record, at first I thought it must be a mistake. How many people play on it? It looks to be hundreds. It is hundreds! To make the record, we invited lots of these classic groups to play with us. There are over 200 musicians on the album. Think of the payroll! The group we are taking on the road is the one I have had for a long time, the misteriosos, but in addition, we have a dance group and an all-female mariachi.

Singer Celebrates Día de los Muertos at the Bowl by Charles Donelan

Lila Downs presents Calavera Saturday, October 26, 7 p.m., at the Santa Barbara Bowl (1122 N. Milpas St.). See sbbowl.com or call 962-7411.

As both a cultural ambassador and a person who thinks deeply about politics and race, what do you make of the split between those who understand immigration as something ethical that families do together and those who insist on breaking families apart and looking only at people as individuals? We have focused so much on individuality that we have forgotten how to come together as family in this culture. That part of people’s lives is not being fulfilled, and it’s one of the reasons for drug addiction and suicide: that people lack support. We wrote a song for the last album called “Envidia” about this idea. I labeled the fear of immigrants “envy,” because I believe that where it is coming from is often the fact that something is being lost in a lot of Anglo families. Too much emphasis on the individual is causing them to lose the intangible things that allow people to feel like they belong somewhere. How does that thought relate to what will happen at the Santa Barbara Bowl on Saturday? Día de los Muertos is the perfect way to address this crisis because it’s about sharing and answering the feelings of family across the boundary between life and death. Through celebrating it, we can feel the center of our community as present and real in our lives.

GUATEMALA

ince leaving the safety of her suburban home 28 years ago and founding an international aid organization in Guatemala, Leslie Baer Dinkel has been extorted, kidnapped (twice), and survived a brutal civil war. Dinkel’s story, and the story of Local Hope Guatemala — which now delivers clean water, emergency relief, and health and education programs to nearly 5,000 Maya people living in poverty — are told in her new autobiography, Hope Dancing. Published just four weeks ago, it’s already the number-one new release in its category on Amazon Kindle, and this Friday, October 25, from 4 to 5 p.m., Dinkel will be signing hard copies at the Santa Barbara Museum of Natural History. The event is free and open to the public. Without any political commentary, Dinkel brings the reader alongside her as she discovers the hunger, poverty, and other indignities suffered by the Mám-speaking Maya people, whom she comes to know as friends, including children she watches grow up over three decades. Local Hope runs two preschools and serves 25,000 hot meals a year. It’s graduated 600 children from high school (the first Maya children from the area ever to graduate) and has seen 27 through college. “Local Hope has been very successful at preparing people from this region to have meaningful work and health at home so they don’t have to risk their lives trying to migrate,” said Dinkel. “Selfreliance is our ultimate goal.” While Dinkel doesn’t live in Santa Barbara, Local Hope’s local connections run deep. Three of its boardmembers — Sherry Robin, Kathy Burt, and Steve Kent — live here, S.B.-based Direct Relief was its very first partner, and nearly 100 volunteers come from the area. All proceeds from the book go back into the organization, and each sale funds medicines for 10 children. Another book release event will be held on Catalina Island on November 13. —TH

Environment

MAN WITH A MESSAGE: National Geographic photographer Joel Sartore accomplished the near-impossible last week. He got hundreds of chattery students to stop and learn about environmental conservation. Among the dozens of animals he’s documented in Santa Barbara are an island fox at the Santa Barbara Zoo and a Spanish shawl nudibranch at UCSB.

BEAUTIES and the BEASTS The Photo Ark Presents Animals in All Their Precious Glory

The photos are meant to “do work” out on the streets, Sartore said, covering posters, buses, and magazine covers, and inspiring people to care more about the natural world. “Half of Earth’s species could go extinct by the time you’re old as me,” he intoned. “But I love how you’re reacting,” he said over the oohs and ahhs. “It gives me hope you’re going to do something.” Because it’s the people who did something that saved the condors in California and the marmots in Canada, he explained. Since the Photo Ark started back in 2005, Sartore has made a handful of trips to the South Coast to photograph at the Santa Barbara Zoo and UCSB, and just a few days before his Granada talk put on by Arts & Lectures, he visited the Wildlife Care Network. He also talked with us over email. How many more species do you plan to photograph? What’s at the top of your bucket list? We’ll now have to travel farther and wider to get the remaining species. At the top of my list is the Bornean subspecies of the Sumatran rhino, located in Indonesia. We expect to have 10,000 species photographed by the turn of the year, so more than halfway done now. The world has perhaps 15,000 species in human care, but the number remains elusive.

JOEL SARTORE PHOTOS

oel Sartore may have been talking to a Granada Theatre full of elementary school students, but he sure didn’t handle them with kid gloves. The National Geographic wildlife photographer began the presentation of his Photo Ark project — a quest to catalog every species of animal living in the planet’s zoos and sanctuaries — with a lesson on the duties of a visual journalist. It’s his job to document events, not judge them, Sartore explained as he displayed bloody images from a “rattlesnake roundup,” where the reptiles were skinned, stuffed, and eaten en masse. He then talked about the perils of working in the field, telling a story about getting bat poop in his eye and being quarantined for three months, and about the time he dove with BY TYLER HAYDEN piranhas. With the hundreds of normally squirmy kids now utterly enraptured, Sartore then explained why he embarked on the Photo Ark and why it’s so effective in bringing attention to disappearing animals. Compared to shadowy jungles and murky rivers, the predictability of the studio lets him light and display his subjects in all their glory. “You can really see them this way,” Sartore said. “It’s the eye contact that moves people.” Every image is the same size, “because everything counts,” he went on, “even if it’s a frog, even if it’s an insect.”

Island fox

What type of animal do you have a soft spot for? Are you a bird guy? A reptile lover? Most animals I photograph have a real impact on me. They’re all like children to me because I’m the only voice most will ever have. If I had to choose a favorite animal right now, though, I suppose it would be Nabire, one of the last northern white rhinos at the Dvůr Králové Zoo in the Czech Republic. She was the sweetest, and she passed away less than two weeks after our visit of complications brought on by old age. Now the world just has two left, both in a single pen in Kenya.

DAVID BAZEMORE

I’m sure there are many examples, but what’s one specific instance of your work making an impact? Historically, the Florida grasshopper sparrow occurred all over the prairies of central Florida. In the last few years, however, it has neared extinction, with biologists struggling to find the reason why. When the Photo Ark covered the bird for an Audubon Magazine cover story, it got so much attention that the U.S. government went from spending $20-$30k per year to document its demise to $1.2 million to begin a captive breeding program. That breeding program is a success today, and so there’s real hope for the sparrow, thanks to the hard work of the researchers and breeding centers such as White Oak Conservation Center in Yulee, FL. I’m very proud of that. What are some tips and tricks you’ve picked up over the years? When working with wildlife and nature in general, it is absolutely crucial to respect your subject and surroundings. This means leaving everything as you found it and taking your trash out with you. With wildlife, it means disturbing your subject as little as possible. Before you even set foot in the field, research your subjects and talk to people who know the area you’ll be working in. Do your homework and don’t waste the time of the people who are helping you out. Show up when you’re supposed to, and always send the prints that you promise to people. Learn what the rules of conduct are for the species you’ll be photographing, what a respectful distance is, what behavior to avoid, and what their “back off ” signal is. The goal is to safely get good photos of your subject behaving normally, not showing aggression or running away from you.

Spanish shawl nudibranch

How do you stay positive and motivated when we’re constantly hearing bad news about the environment? When world leaders say they don’t believe in climate change and then undermine conservation efforts? I still believe that people will want to help, but they first have to meet these animals and learn what the problems are. I meet wildlife heroes all the time, individuals who work hard to save species right in their own backyards. For each and every one of them, it started with education, pure and simple. I was inspired to start photographing animals because so many truly had no voice of their own in terms of conservation — and that’s what continues to drive me on this project. And let’s not forget this: When we save other species, we’re actually saving ourselves. We need pollinating insects to bring us fruits and vegetables. We need healthy, intact rainforests both to keep the planet cool and help regulate global rainfall patterns, which enable our crops to dependably grow. It’s fallacious to think that we can doom millions of plant and animal species to extinction but that we’ll be just fine. It won’t work that way. n

SAYONARA, CHEFS: After commanding the attention of Santa Barbara foodies for about one year, chefs Phillip Frankland Lee (left) and Margarita Kallas-Lee (center) are closing two of their three ambitious restaurants in the Montecito Inn.

NUTS TO KNOW: Make like this squirrel and learn how to eat acorns with Christopher Nyerges (below) in Ojai next weekend.

The Monarch and Silver How to Make Acorns Edible Christopher Nyerges Leads Bough Abruptly Close Forager November 2 Workshop BY GEORGE YATCHISIN

n a somewhat shocking case of burying

the lead, the Santa Barbara Independent and other media outlets received the news last Friday afternoon that Scratch Restaurants “will begin swiftly expanding in 2020 by opening additional outposts of Sushi|Bar,” one of which is housed in the Montecito Inn. The buried lead is that Phillip Frankland Lee and Margarita Kallas-Lee — the husband-and-wife chef duo who own Scratch Restaurants — have pulled the plug on The Monarch (which recently won this paper’s Foodie Award) and the lavish dinner-asspectacle Silver Bough. Both restaurants are not just closed; their spaces have in fact been sold. In the meantime, Sushi|Bar in Montecito — as they put it, “an omakase speakeasy that serves up a whimsy of its namesake fare in 17 courses” — will continue to be led by head sushi chef Lennon Lee, with seatings Wednesday-Sunday. In a statement sent via email on Friday, Phillip Frankland Lee wrote, “Seven years ago, Margarita and I started Scratch Restaurants when we were both in our early 20s. We have attempted many concepts over those years and have had an absolute wonderful time working with our teams to make each vision come to life. While many people have enjoyed our various dining offerings, Sushi|Bar has consistently been among everyone’s favorite experience. “Therefore, while we loved working with local farmers and vintners to create a menu at The Monarch showcasing all

that the Central Coast has to offer, and taking a chance on a career dream to open The Silver Bough, we have been given an opportunity to grow the company and our team is excited to move forward. We absolutely love Montecito and Santa Barbara, and we are incredibly grateful to all those who have embraced us as we have tried to offer the community some great culinary options. “Sushi|Bar will continue to operate as normal at the historic Montecito Inn, and we look forward to being a part of the community as long as you’ll have us.” Sushi|Bar is the third concept in the small space across the inn’s driveway after short runs by Chaplin’s Martini Bar and Frankland’s Crab & Co. Over the next year, Scratch Restaurants plans to open additional locations throughout California, focusing on Los Angeles, Orange County, and San Francisco. The Montecito Inn is yet to confirm who will be taking over the spaces. The news caps a rough couple of weeks for food lovers in Santa Barbara. Earlier this week, The Bear and Star in Los Olivos announced that it will close at year’s end, and head chef John Cox has already left town. Meanwhile, Chef Pink (Crystal DeLongpré) split from Root 246 in Solvang after making it culinarily relevant again. And served on top of all that is the smoking news that Justin West is also closing Soul Cal Smokehouse, his barbecue joint in the S.B. Public Market. Oh, where n shall we dine now?

ust 400 years ago, a typical Santa Barbara

meal would be loaded with acorns, the staple food of the Chumash people. Today, despite acorns falling from the oak trees all around us, few indulge in the nutty treats. Renowned forager, author, and survivalist Christopher Nyerges hopes to change that, and he will be running an acorn processing workshop in Ojai on November 2 with herbalist Lanny Kaufer. LANNY KAUFER

Sushi|Bar Will Remain, but Phillip Frankland Lee and Margarita Kallas-Lee Leave Montecito Inn

Christopher Nyerges

The rain-or-shine day will begin with a walk through the Ventura River Preserve followed by a workshop under an oak tree at Euterpe Farms. Guests will also learn about other plants, taste wild mushrooms, and learn how to make fire primitively and to string cordage from yucca. Nygeres, whose website is schoolofself-reliance. com, answered a few of my acorn inquiries last week. How do you make acorns edible? Since acorns

contain tannic acid, they must be washed, or leached, of the tannic acid. You could just boil the whole acorns and change the water many times until they are no longer bitter. Then you

grind and use. However, I generally do the traditional way. We shell the acorns and then grind on metates. Then we put the flour into what looks like a coffee filter: a cone with a tea cloth in it. Then we pour cold water through it until it is no longer bitter. There are many things you can make with the leached flour. How long does that take? Usually at least two

hours, depending on how much you are trying to make.

What sort of foods do you typically make? We make pancakes, but I

also make gravy, cookies, cakes, and chips. Sometimes we make a tofu-like food. It is bland, but you flavor it with soy sauce, or butter, or whatever. Sometimes we make the traditional wi-wish, which is just simple acorn. Can you add other ingredients from nature? Sometimes I blend in wild

seeds, such as wild buckwheat or curly dock seeds. Sometimes we top with prickly pear cactus fruits. It depends on what is available. Are acorns particularly healthy? It’s a gluten-free

food that is readily incorporated into other dishes. In general, acorns contain about 37 percent fat and around 8 to 15 percent protein, depending on the species. They contain phosphorus, potassium, calcium, and they are said to boost your energy level, improve metabolism, and eliminate constipation. Native people subsisted on acorns during the winter.

winery poised high in the hills of Santa Maria with stunning ocean and vineyard views, announced the addition of Julie Simon as their new executive chef beginning this month. Simon will be creating the tasting room wine and food pairings, as well as developing special event menus and overseeing wine dinners, including those with guest chefs. Simon recently headlined at one of the winery’s sold-out guest chef dinners, which brought her to the attention of the Murphy family, who own the vineyard. She plans to rework the wine and food pairings to both reflect her style and to complement the library of wines at Presqu’ile, and she is also designing an organic garden on the property. Based in San Luis Obispo, Simon started studying toward a law degree in her native France. But soon her restlessness and uncanny ability in the kitchen compelled her to move to Paso Robles, where her aunt and uncle farmed an olive grove and pressed olive oil. Soon after, Simon landed kitchen jobs in some of the Central Coast’s finest restaurants and eventually became executive chef at the renowned Thomas Hill Organics Bistro when she was 23 years old. Julie served as opening chef at Foremost restaurant in San Luis Obispo. Her history in farming and pop-up dinners bring a worthy contribution to Presqu’ile’s vast array of services, further enriching the most sought-after wine destination in the area.

There’s a lot of French oak, but it’s very well integrated. Still, you have to like some tannins with your blueberry and boysenberry. It’s best to decant, or at least open the bottle an hour or so before consuming. That means Barbareño stands up to the most flavorful of meals — think Santa Maria tri-tip with salsa and pinquito beans — but it also works well with a parsley-mint-roasted garlic pesto and shrimp.

HENDRIKA DE VRIES’S MOVING MEMOIR ROOTSY DUO: Tom Ball (left) and Kenny Sultan enter the fifth decade of keeping great American music alive. Hear them Saturday, October 26, at the Lobero Theatre.

TOM BALL AND KENNY SULTAN

CELEBRATE 40 YEARS

he local-national-global acoustic duo Tom Ball and Kenny Sultan officially got the blues four decades ago. And their origin story traces back to this paper, ancestrally: The Los Angeles–bred Ball, a gifted blues harp player and singer (and fingerstyle guitarist), had moved to Santa Barbara and was intrigued by a music calendar listing in the Santa Barbara News & Review — the Indy’s precursor. Ball recalled his fateful sighting of a listing: “It said ‘Kenny Sultan, blues and ragtime acoustic guitar.’ I thought, you know, this is somebody I should meet.” Meet they did, and history is still in the making. Fast-forward to 2019, and Ball and Sultan are one of Santa Barbara’s prime musical success stories — if outside the mass/ pop culture sphere — with a large discography on Rounder, Flying Fish, and other labels; various educational books; numerous film and TV placements; NPR spots; and a legacy on festivals, concerts, and gigging circuits around the world. On the home front, the duo serves as opening act for rootsy bands (they opened for Jim Kweskin at the Lobero Theatre a few years back) and has held down the fort on Sunday afternoons at the historic Cold Spring Tavern, when they’re in town, for time out of mind. At the moment, eyes and ears are on the milestone prize. Ball and Sultan, in prepping for their grand 40th birthday concert at the Lobero this Saturday, sat down to talk in the kitchen of Ball’s woodsy vintage Westside house he shares with his wife, Laurie. Half its life ago, the duo gave a spe-

BLUES MUSIC DUO THROWS PARTY AT THE LOBERO cial 20th birthday concert at the Victoria Hall (now Ensemble Theatre Company’s New Vic home), a show recorded by former Santa Barbara Sound engineer Daniel Protheroe for the album 20th Anniversary Live! As Sultan explained, their early inspirations included the famed acoustic blues duo Sonny Terry and Brownie McGhee, but their differences contributed to the uniqueness of the Ball and Sultan compound sound. “We both love acoustic blues, and we’re into Sonny and Brownie. But the way we have worked is that Tom brings a lot more of the Chicago electric blues into it, and I bring the jug band and ragtime in and adapt that to us.” The tale of their seminal history touches on multiple points of local bygone heritage. Ball recalled that Sultan invited him to team up for an appearance on influential former KCSB DJ Greg Drust’s show, which led to an invitation from the Soujourner Restaurant (which closed in 2015) for a regular duo gig, the wages being pizza, beer, and $15. That led to other regular gigging, often five nights a week, in now-defunct rooms, including

the Bluebird, Déjà Vu, and 1129. While making a living by playing five nights a week, and later finding their place in festivals in Europe and elsewhere, Ball and Sultan also incorporated musical historicism and blues preservation into their work description, celebrating blues music of bygone eras. As Ball said, “One of the things we talked about very early on was that in addition to having fun, in addition to writing some songs, we also felt an obligation to, to try to — I’m hesitant to use the word ‘educate.’ “If we do it, we’re never going to be able to play a Lightning Hopkins tune with as much soul or finesse as Lightning did,” he continued. “But we have to remember, 90 percent of the audience out there has never heard of Lightning Hopkins. And if we introduced the song as being by Lightning and talk about it a little bit, maybe that’ll spur them to want to dig back a little bit. And that’s good for everybody.” History is abuzz in the Ball and Sultan world as they enter the fifth decade of keeping the cultural faith of great American musical tradition going back to the early 20th century. Hear them most Sundays at Cold Spring Tavern, and on Saturday, October 26, at their special soiree at the Lobero. —Josef Woodard

World War II is drawing to a close, but liberation from the Nazis is still months away. The kitchen cupboards are empty. Amsterdam is in the grip of the Hunger Winter, and before it’s over, 20,000 people will starve to death. A young girl and her mother survive on gooey bread made from tulip bulbs. Every day comes down to finding something to eat. For Hendrika de Vries, author of the memoir When a Toy Dog Became a Wolf and the Moon Broke Curfew…, this was childhood. The trauma of war, the loss of safety, the sudden disappearance of neighbors, and the death she witnessed remain lodged in Hendrika’s psyche for decades and drove her to become a psychotherapist. Hendrika came to Santa Barbara in 1983 for a two-year psychology program, fell in love with the city, and has lived here ever since. Now 80 and still swimming regularly at the Santa Barbara Athletic Club, the Amsterdam native has written a moving memoir of her wartime experiences that resonates in a world where millions of people have been traumatized by war, violence, bigotry, and hatred. When a Toy Dog Became… is a story of grit and resilience. Hendrika’s father spent two years in a German POW camp. Her mother, a remarkably brave woman, was determined to not only keep her daughter safe but to save others as well. Harboring a young Jewish girl complicated their lives, but it was a decision Hendrika’s mother made without hesitation, even though it subjected her to heavy criticism from her family after the war. What kind of mother puts her daughter in such mortal danger? “She did it,” Hendrika explained, “because she hoped someone would do the same for her child. She always said that if one child isn’t safe, no child is safe.” Life in postwar Amsterdam was hard. The economy was in shambles, unemployment was rampant, and a severe shortage of housing made recovery difficult for a war-weary populace. Eventually, Hendrika’s parents decide to join thousands of others in an exodus to Australia and what they hope will be a better life. Hendrika will stand on the deck of a ship and wave goodbye to everything she has known and everyone she has loved. All these years later, in the pages of her memoir, we not only feel what it was like to survive the war, but we understand that wars don’t end when the guns fall silent. —Brian Tanguay

he death of Yale English Professor Harold Bloom on October 14 brings to an end the career of one of the most prolific and widely read critics in the history of Western letters. Labelled a “colossus” by his fans, and “retrograde” by his detractors, Bloom was, without a doubt, a difficult person to ignore. Most likely, with a writer as prolific as Bloom, there will be posthumously published books, but one of his final volumes appeared last spring. As with previous books in scholar/author Harold Bloom’s Shakespeare’s Personalities series—which includes Falstaff, Lear, Iago, and Cleopatra—there is considerably more Shakespeare than Bloom in Macbeth: A Dagger of the Mind. Whether that’s because the great critic preferred to highlight

surprisingly, Leary is a passionate believer that language matters because it shapes, colors, and informs our perception of society. The keywords Leary dis dissects are so because they unlock something hidden about a partic particular worldview. Keywords drape winner-take-all capitalism in the garb of morality and normalcy, but they also erase or obfuscate any notion of collective action or shared social responsibility. The extent to which the lan language of the market has appropriated so many aspects of our lives is both fascinating and troubling. Because it’s so ubiquitous we use this language without questioning its deeper meaning, some of which, as Leary illustrates, is less than benign. —Brian Tanguay

the Bard’s own words or he was simply tired of commenting on plays about which he had already written so much, reading Bloom’s short book is like rereading most of the play, with a helpful teacher periodically pausing to tell you what you’ve just heard or what to look out for in an upcoming speech. Macbeth: A Dagger of the Mind is certainly a tonic alternative to SparkNotes for students studying Macbeth, as the play’s the thing Macbeth on which their attention will be focused. However, the casual enthusiast looking for sustained insight into Macbeth’s character may feel a little cheated by the lack of critical elucidation.

Using the breadth and depth of the Hatlen Theater stage to maximum effect, the players delivered a clear and swinging account of the script’s complex doublings. Affairs in Sicilia run tragic and require powerful bursts of rhetoric not only from the accused queen Hermione (Kat Cleave), but also from Antigonus (Cyrus Roberts) and Camillo (Chris Nasser), both of whom attempt to dissuade Leontes from his reckless course. Bohemia, by contrast, presents characters both witty, like the rogue Autolycus (Harry Davis) and lovestruck, like the wonderful Perdita (Betty Galindo) and her suitor Florizel (Vishay Singh). The finale was particularly moving as these disparate kingdoms came together for a series of amazing revelations. — Charles Donelan

It’s con on con in this little village, whose deliciously odious public servants illustrate ambition turned avarice running rampant through an administration. The comedy is lively and youthful, and the cast commits to the physical humor, emphasizing the ridiculous nature of the corruption machine. Regardless of personal political views (anarchists excepted), most people can get behind the message of this play as it relates to our current government: Chaos is fun, but stability and trust in competent elected officials is better.

Then again, the parties involved in the new power trio of banjoist extraordinaire Béla Fleck, tabla master Zakir Hussain, and double bassist Edgar Meyer — abetted by the great bamboo flutist Rakesh Chaurasia —include musicians well accustomed to musical border crossings and genre crosstalk. As demonstrated in an inspiring concert at Campbell Hall last Saturday, the flavors of India, Nashville, Appalachia, and beyond came together in a beautiful way, turning the disparate into the integrated. The salient effect was more visceral and earAt UCSB’s Campbell Hall, Sat., Oct. 19. tasty than an intellectual enterprise, a sign of success in the fragile world of music hybridizing. Opening with “Bubbles,” the group called on rhythmically intricate but melodic tunes often so new that they remain as yet untitled, as well as material culled from each player’s songbook. Standouts included Meyer’s 36-year-old “Long Ago,” Fleck’s “D Minor,” and Hussain’s “Pashto,” in fitting homage to the practice of Hindustani musicians playing with British Isles military musicians in the 19th century.

JIM MCGUIRE

FLECK, HUSSAIN, AND MEYER

One fascinating line of rapport involved the kinship of Fleck and Hussain, who bring wizardly energy forces and puckish humor to their playing. Banjo is a percussive instrument strung on a drumhead, and tabla is a venerable, highly melodic, and detailoriented drum tradition, and within that inter-polarity, something magical bubbles up the Fleck/Hussain alliance. Call it Indo-grass fusion, for lack of a better term. Or, to quote the title of Hussain’s supple, sweet tune written for another worldly virtuoso comrade, guitarist John McLaughlin, just call it a bold act of naturally elastic, exploratory virtuosos “Making Music.” —Josef Woodard

SECRETS & SPIES:

HALL OF FAME THRILLERS

udging from the stream-o-sphere, foreigners are a lot better at spying than Americans. So, to catch up on the very finest foreign intrigue, be prepared to read subtitles. Trust me, it’s worth it.

Fauda (Netflix): You need a little time to become situated within a cadre of undercover Israeli commandos (after all, “fauda” is the Hebrew word for chaos). Then, you’ll be holding on to your skull caps while they chase down Hamas terrorists. Based on the creators’ real-life experiences in the Israel Defense Forces, the series was filmed during the 2014 Arab-Israeli conflict it depicts. The private lives of the men and women on both sides of the tumult draw you in as much as the action and intrigue. (Two seasons so far)

Prisoners of War (Hulu): Homeland was based on this Israeli miniseries aired in 2010 and 2012. Like me, many thought it would just be versions of Claire Danes and Damian Lewis sneaking around and passing secrets in Hebrew, but almost immediately, the story becomes something else altogether. The characters and their problems are completely different; twists unwind unexpectedly, and there are only two seasons (both set in 2008), BY RUSTY UNGER so you won’t have to go sleepless all month. (Two seasons)

X-STREAMIST

The Bureau (Sundance Now via Amazon Prime): Deep-cover agents in the French equivalent of the CIA encounter treacherous international plots. This secret government department is small enough that the viewer can become seriously involved (maybe, like me, to an unhealthy degree) with its personalities and their struggles not only with evil cabals but with their personal demons and questions of self-identity. (Four seasons)

Deutschland 83 (Sundance TV via Amazon Prime): A young East German is sent as an undercover Stasi spy to embed in the West German army. Nuclear and romantic options explode. You really keep having to watch just one more episode. By the end of the series, you understand why walls really never work. (Eight episodes)

The Same Sky (Netflix): Because of the success of Deutschland 83, Netflix and Amazon got into a bidding war (Netflix won) over The Same Sky. I had never heard of a “Romeo” agent before, but in this period ’70s series, there’s a handsome East German Cold Warrior assigned to seduce a pretty West German intelligence analyst. The lives of these two along with their friends and families etch the differences between Communism and Capitalism, and nothing is black-and-white or even Red. (Six episodes) The Looming Tower (Hulu): If you missed last year’s dramatization of the events both here and abroad that led to 9/11, well, you shouldn’t have. Based on Lawrence Wright’s Pulitzer Prize–winning book, this series is as spell-binding, scandalous, and surprising as any story in which you didn’t already know the ending. (10 episodes)

Fauda

Sleeper Cell (Showtime): Okay, here’s one without subtitles: Aired in 2005-06, this harrowing series revolves around a young Muslim undercover FBI agent tasked with thwarting a planned terrorist attack on L.A. (18 episodes) The Night Manager and The Little Drummer Girl (via Amazon Prime): A John le Carré two-fer, these two outstanding adaptations were released on AMC fairly recently. Both of them do justice to these excellent espionage novels and feature fantastic performances.

False Flag (Hulu): We’re back in Israel again, for a series that is equal parts excitement and shock. Five seemingly random citizens are arrested and accused of a highprofile kidnapping. Surrounded by public shame and left adrift by Mossad and the government, even their friends (and viewers like me) start to distrust them. We follow the ramifications for each of the five caught in this net until we realize it’s 3 a.m. and have to turn off the TV. (Two seasons)

THOM YORKE TOMORROW’S MODERN BOXES THIS

FRIDAY

The Lighthouse

MOVIE GUIDE SPECIAL SCREENINGS The Blair Witch Project (81 mins., R) This supernatural horror film scared the bejeezus out of audiences when it hit the big screen in 1999. Fashioned as a documentary, this tells the fictional story of three filmmakers who go into the woods outside Burkittsville, Maryland, to try and “document” the fabled Blair Witch. The film sparked the “found-footage” (aka shaky camera) fad now common in moviemaking.

Riviera (Fri.-Sat., Oct. 25-26, 9:30 p.m.)

BTS World Tour “Love Yourself: Speak Yourself” (3 hr. 50 mins., NR) See and hear this internationally popular K-pop boy band in the film version of their epic 2018-2019 tour, which takes the seven members to stadiums around the world. Metro 4 (Sun., Oct. 27) SBIFF Viva Pedro Film Series Check out these week-long retrospective films of legendary Spanish director Pedro Almodóvar. See story on p. 51.

PREMIERES Black and Blue (108 mins., NR) Naomie Harris stars as a New Orleans rookie cop who witnesses—and films —her partner and other dirty officers murder a drug dealer. She can’t go to the police, so she tries to expose the killing with the help of a stranger, Milo (Tyrese Gibson). Mike Colter and Frank Grillo also star. Camino Real/Fiesta 5 Countdown (90 mins., PG-13) When Quinn (Elizabeth Lail) downloads an app that predicts exactly when you are going to die, it reveals that she only has three days to live.

Camino Real/Metro 4

The Current War: Director’s Cut (107 mins., PG-13) This historical drama tells the story of the battle of whose electrical current will power major cities across the U.S. —Thomas Edison’s Direct Current (DC) or George Westinghouse’s Alternating Current (AC). Things come to a head at the 1893 Chicago World’s Fair. Benedict Cumberbatch, Michael Shannon, and Nicholas Hoult star.

Paseo Nuevo

Cyrano, My Love (110 mins., R) This historical dramedy takes place in 1897 Paris as playwright Edmond Rostand’s life and career are fraying at the seams. Putting pen to paper, Rostand writes about his real life in broad strokes and creates one of the most enduring plays of all time: Cyrano de Bergerac. The Hitchcock Harriet (125 mins., PG-13) Cynthia Erivo (Widows, Bad Times at the El Royale) stars in this titular role about the courageous, legendary abolitionist who guided hundreds via the Underground Railroad to freedom in the North. Leslie Odom Jr., Joe Alwyn, and Janelle Monáe also star.

Fairview/Fiesta 5 (Opens Thu., Oct. 31)

The Lighthouse (110 mins., R) Willem Dafoe and Robert Pattinson star in this psychological horror film about two “wickies” (lighthouse keepers) in the 1800s who, when faced with interminable solitude, become mentally undone with terrible results.

Paseo Nuevo

T H I S AY SATURD

Fairview/Paseo Nuevo

Motherless Brooklyn (144 mins., R) Edward Norton wrote, produced, directed, and stars in this crime drama based on Johnathan Lethem’s book of the same name. Norton plays Lionel Essrog, a 1950s private investigator with Tourette syndrome, who is on a mission to discover what happened to his mentor. Bruce Willis, Alec Baldwin, and Willem Dafoe also star.

The Hitchcock (Opens Thu., Oct. 31)

OAd Astra (122 mins., PG-13) James Gray’s sci-fi drama Ad Astra tells of a dauntless voyage by astronaut Roy McBride, played somberly by Brad Pitt. McBride journeys through space and uncovers the dark reality of an ill-fated mission his father, Clifford McBride (Tommy Lee Jones), took 30 years prior. Pitt embodies a multi-faceted character whose developmental arc offers a strong emotional component for audiences to latch onto. Beautifully shot and composed, Ad Astra is visually breathtaking and extremely dramatic. And although the narrative is a slow burn that requires dedication from viewers, the story resonates on many levels. (AM)

O Joker (122 mins., R) Todd Phillips’ Joker is one of the year’s most jarring and introspective films. Delving into the origin story of Batman’s arch-nemesis Arthur Fleck, aka Joker, the film follows the brutalization of the failed stand-up comedian and party clown, his descent into madness, and the creation of his alter ego. As Fleck, Joaquin Phoenix slowly fleshes out and then gets lost in the mind of the Joker, the film adeptly showing the diminishing duality between Fleck and Joker. Phoenix’s transition from shy recluse to absolute maniac is done perfectly, using pivotal moments in the film as fuel for quintessential character development. The music score complements the immense levels of suspense, paralleling the deterioration of Arthur’s well-being. Through unsettling nuances, Joker forces audiences to question the motivations and morality, or lack thereof, behind the clown’s heinous actions. While there are a few weak bits and pieces of the narrative, they aren’t enough to take away from Phoenix’s superb performance and the film as a whole. (AM)

O Once Upon a Time … in Hollywood (161 mins., R) This film is a nostalgia-inducing ode to Los Angeles and classic film. The director/screenwriter teases a fairytale from the very real 1969 tragedy—the brutal murder of Sharon Tate and her friends by the Manson Family. Although the storyline develops leisurely, Tarantino nonetheless delivers an engaging snapshot of a moment in time with a thrillingly ruthless finale in this valentine to Hollywood. (AM) Fiesta 5 O Where’s My Roy Cohn? (97 mins., PG-13) From certain angles, director Matt Tynauer’s sharply crafted documentary on the late N.Y.C. über-lawyer Roy Cohn plays like an American horror story, melting into modern-day horrors. The shamelessly and socially suave Machiavellian Cohn, who died of AIDS in 1986, was associated with many of the dubious aspects of the second half of the 20th century—including the McCarthy “witch hunt,” helping send the Rosenbergs to their death, political tinkering across decades, Mafia coddling, and mentoring Donald Trump, to whom he offered such sage advice as “never admit you’re wrong, never apologize.” Drawing on a rich supply of archival footage, and many interviews with Cohn, his allies, and enemies, Tynauer appeals to our fascination with scoundrels, while painting a portrait of a possibly amoral titan of sleaze, with friends in high places. Take, for instance, the current White House. (JW) The Hitchcock

O Linda Ronstadt: The Sound of My Voice (95 mins., PG-13) The film celebrates the singer’s seemingly angelic countenance and stunning powerhouse voice, of which we get ample, inspiring evidence in the film.

Gemini Man (117 mins., PG-13) Asian-American brother Carey (Teddy Lee) and sister Kasie (Tiffany Chu) were abandoned by their mother and raised by their father. The siblings reunite to care for him on his deathbed and struggle through old family wounds. The film is the latest from writer/director Justin Chon, whose 2017 work Gook established him as someone to watch.

Several Girls’ Volleyball Teams Make the Cut

HUDDLING UP: Dos Pueblos girls’ volleyball coach Megan O’Carroll will lead her team into a first-round match against Arcadia Thursday, October 24, at Sovine Gym.

he fall prep sports season is winding down, and the various playoff pictures are coming into focus. A mad dash to the finish line will now ensue as teams strive to reach their top gear in time to create a lasting legacy.

said San Marcos coach Dwayne Hauschild. “I feel like our matches against Dos Pueblos specifically showed that we’re a good team that can match up against anybody. We’ve beaten a lot of Division 1 teams this year.” Santa Barbara finished in third place in the Channel League to earn a slot in the Division 4 playoffs, where they will travel to Cerritos, which took first place in the 605 League. In Division 6, Tri-Valley League Champion Cate is among the favorites. The Rams (17-3, 7-1) are the second-seeded team in the bracket and will host either St. Monica Catholic or Duarte in a first-round match. Frontier League champion Laguna Blanca (18-4, 8-0) is also in Division 6 and will host La Mirada, the second place team out of the Suburban League in a first-round match. In Division 8, Bishop Diego (11-13, 7-3), the second-place team out of the Frontier League, will host Pacifica Christian of Santa Monica. Carpinteria finished tied for second in the Citrus Coast League and will host Thacher. All start times are tonight at 6 p.m. unless otherwise noted.

GIRLS’ VOLLEYBALL PLAYOFFS:

Several area girls’ volleyball teams punched their tickets into the CIF Southern Section playoffs. Channel League cochampions Dos Pueblos (21-14 overall, 9-1 Channel League) and San Marcos (19-6, 9-1) had their placement in the Division 3 playoffs determined by a coin flip that favored Dos Pueblos. As a result, the Chargers will host Arcadia, the No. 2 team out of the Pacific League, Thursday, October 24, beginning at 6 p.m. at Sovine Gym. Conversely, San Marcos will travel to Quartz Hill to face off against the champions of the Golden League. Quartz Hill won a CIF championship last season in Division 4, so the Royals are likely in for a stiff test. “Anytime you play a league champion, it’s a daunting task. Technically, we’re a league champion as well, and a coin flip puts us as No. 2 out of the league,”

GAME OF THE

10/24: High School Girls’ Volleyball: Arcadia at Dos Pueblos Fresh off a split of the Channel League title with San Marcos, the Dos Pueblos High girls’ volleyball team will host Arcadia in the first round of the CIF-SS Division 3 playoffs. The Chargers are led by senior setter Mikayla Butzke and sophomore outside hitter Portia Sherman. Arcadia finished second in the Pacific League behind first-place Burroughs and held its own against a tough schedule that featured some of the best teams in the San Gabriel Valley. 5pm.

DONS EMERGE IN CHANNEL LEAGUE BOYS’ WATER POLO:

Santa Barbara High took a major step toward earning the top seed going into the Channel League tournament with key victories last week, including a 12-9 win over Dos Pueblos in a first-place showdown behind six goals from Dylann Fogg. The Dons followed that up with a 12-7 victory over Lompoc despite resting multiple starters. Santa Barbara (20-8 overall, 4-0 Channel League) is currently ranked No. 5 in CIF-SS Division 3 and has excelled in Channel League play. “With our wins against Dos Pueblos and San Marcos, we put ourselves in a pretty good spot for a good seed in the league tournament coming up,” said Santa Barbara coach Mark Walsh. “I like where we’re at. Obviously, there’s not

much we can do about the polls. “Wherever they seed us, we’ll play and have as deep a run as possible in CIF.” SHAKE UP IN CHANNEL LEAGUE FOOTBALL: For nearly a

decade, Lompoc football dominated its league competition, putting together a league winning streak that spanned 43 consecutive games. The majority of those wins came in the now-defunct Los Padres League, but in 2018 Lompoc joined the Channel League and easily dispatched the competition en route to a perfect 5-0 league record. Conventional wisdom had the Braves running roughshod through the Channel League once again in 2019, but Santa Barbara High seized an opportunity to make history and defeated Lompoc 27-21 this past Friday to take over first place in the Channel League and deliver Lompoc its first league loss since October 2010. “I think it opens some eyes. I truly believe this program is headed in the right direction,” said Santa Barbara coach J.T. Stone. “I’ve been busting my behind to turn it around. I’ve got some great coaches on board, and we’ve got a bunch of kids that believe in what we’re doing. I really think that from here on out, we’re going to be competitive.” Kicker Ty Montgomery was the difference with two fourthquarter field goals of 45 and 26 yards despite heavy wind. Wisconsin-bound quarterback Deacon Hill connected with senior wide receiver Moki Nacario on first half touchdown passes of 69 and 10 yards that set the tone for the historic upset. The Dons are now 6-2 overall and 3-0 in Channel League with games against Cabrillo and Dos Pueblos remaining. The Chargers (2-6 overall, 2-1 Channel League) defeated rival San Marcos 14-12 last week to keep their hopes of a playoff berth very much alive. Santa Barbara is in prime position to secure the top seed out of the Channel League going into the Division 8 playoffs n and win their first playoff game since 1989.

FREE WILL ASTROLOGY by Rob Breszny ARIES (Mar. 21-Apr. 19): Singapore has one of the world’s low-

est fertility rates. A few years ago, this state of affairs prompted the government to urge Singaporeans to have sex on an annual holiday known as National Day. A new rap song was released in the hope of pumping up everyone’s libidos and instigating a baby boom. It included the lyrics, “Let’s make fireworks ignite / Let’s make Singapore’s birthrate spike.” I have a different reason for encouraging you to seek abundant high-quality sex, Aries. According to my analysis, tender orgasmic experiences will profoundly enhance your emotional intelligence in the coming weeks — and make you an excellent decision-maker just in time for your big decisions. (P.S. You don’t necessarily need a partner.)

TAURUS (Apr. 20-May 20): In the 1530s, explorer Jacques Cartier

led expeditions from France to the New World. As Europeans often did back then, he and his team were rude and brutish to the indigenous folks who lived there, stealing their land, kidnapping some of them, and slaughtering herds of great auks in a bird sanctuary. Yet there was one winter when Cartier’s marauders got crucial help from their victims, who gave them vitaminC-rich pine-needle tea that cured their scurvy. I suspect you Tauruses will embark on quests and journeys in the coming months, and I’m hoping your behavior will be different from Cartier’s. When you arrive in unfamiliar places, be humble, curious, and respectful. Be hesitant to impose your concepts of what’s true, and be eager to learn from the locals. If you do, you’re likely to get rich teachings and benefits equivalent to the pine needle tea.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20): Many software engineers have enjoyed

The Pragmatic Programmer, a book that helps them develop and refine their code. One popular technique the book offers is “rubber duck deprogramming.” Programmers place a toy rubber duck in front of them and describe to it the problems they’re having. As they explain each line of code to their very good listener, they may discover what’s amiss. I recommend a simi-

lar approach to you as you embark on metaphorically debugging your own program, Gemini. If a rubber duck isn’t available, call on your favorite statue or stuffed animal, or even a photo of a catalytic teacher or relative or spirit.

CANCER (June 21-July 22): Read the following passage from

If you didn’t have the name you actually go by, what other name would you choose? (3) If you had an urge to expand the circle of allies that supports and stimulates you, whom would you seek out? (4) If you wanted to add new foods and herbs that would nurture your physical health and new experiences that would nurture your mental health, what would they be?

Gabriel García Márquez’s novel One Hundred Years of LIBRA Solitude. “Gaston was not only a fierce lover, with endless (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): Mushrooms have spores, not seeds. wisdom and imagination, but he was also, perhaps, the They’re tiny.

I praise his intense and airy but abundant; light and fine, but relentless and devotion to playful extravagance. But I don’t recom- bountiful. mend you do anything quite so extreme in behalf of love during the coming weeks. Being 20 percent as extreme might be just right, though. SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): “Sometimes the easiest way to get LEO something done is to be a little naive about it,” writes (July 23-Aug. 22): In his song “Diplomatic Immunity,” computer engineer Bill Joy. I invite you to consider the rapper Drake disparages tranquility and harmony. “I value of that perspective, Scorpio — even though you’re listen to heavy metal for meditation, no silence,” he brags. the least likely sign in all the zodiac to do so. Being naive “My body isn’t much of a sacred temple, with vodka and just doesn’t come naturally to you; you often know more wine and sleep at the opposite times,” he declares. Is there than everyone else around you. Maybe you’ll be more a method in his madness? It’s revealed in these lyrics: “All receptive to my suggestion if I reframe the task. Are you that peace and that unity: all that weak sh-- will ruin me.” familiar with the Zen Buddhist concept of “beginner’s In the coming weeks, Leo, I urge you to practice the exact mind”? You wipe away your assumptions and see everyopposite of Drake’s approach. It’s time to treat yourself to thing as if it were the first time you were in its presence. an intense and extended phase of self-care.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): It’s a favorable time to refresh your

relationships with your basic sources and to make connections with new basic sources. To spur your creative thought on these matters, I offer the following questions to meditate on. (1) If you weren’t living where you do now, what other place might you like to call home? (2)

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): Is it always a bad thing to be lost? To wander in the unknown without a map? I’d like to propose a good version of being lost. It requires you to be willing to give up your certainties, to relinquish your grip on the comforting dogmas that have structured

WEEK OF OCT. 24 your world — but to do so gladly, with a spirit of cheerful expectancy and curiosity. It doesn’t require you to be a macho hero who feels no fear or confusion. Rather, you have faith that life will provide blessings that weren’t possible until you got lost.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): “Worrying is the most natural and

spontaneous of all human functions,” wrote science educator Lewis Thomas. “Let’s acknowledge this, perhaps even learn to do it better.” I agree with him! And I think it’s an ideal time for you to learn how to worry more effectively, more potently, and with greater artistry. What might that look like? First, you wouldn’t feel shame or guilt about worrying. You wouldn’t regard it as a failing. Rather, you would raise your worrying to a higher power. You’d wield it as a savvy tool to discern which situations truly need your concerned energy and which don’t.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): “Some wounds go so deep that you

don’t even feel them until months, maybe years, later,” wrote Aquarian author Julius Lester. Pay attention to that thought, Aquarius. The bad news is that you are just now beginning to feel a wound that was inflicted some time ago. But that’s also the good news, because it means the wound will no longer be hidden and unknowable. And because you’ll be fully aware of it, you’ll be empowered to launch the healing process. I suggest you follow your early intuitions about how best to proceed with the cure.

PISCES (Feb. 19-Mar. 20): If you’ve been having dreams or fan-

tasies that the roof is sinking or the walls are closing in, you should interpret it as a sign that you should consider moving into a more spacious situation. If you have been trapped within the narrow confines of limited possibilities, it’s time to break free and flee to a wideopen frontier. In general, Pisces, I urge you to insist on more expansiveness in everything you do, even if that requires you to demolish cute little mental blocks that have tricked you into thinking small.

The proposed Zoning Ordinance consists of six parts: • Part I: General Provisions • Part II: Base Zoning District Standards and Allowed Uses • Part III: Overlay Districts • Part IV: Regulations Applying to Multiple Districts • Part V: Administration and Permits • Part VI: General Terms The proposed New Zoning Ordinance includes four types of zoning regulations to control the use and development of property: • Land Use Regulations. Land use regulations specify land uses permitted, conditionally permitted, or specifically prohibited in each zoning district, and includes special requirements, if any, applicable to specific uses. Land use regulations for base zoning districts are in Part II of the proposed New Zoning Ordinance, while land use regulations for overlay districts are in Part III. Certain regulations applicable in multiple districts and performance standards which govern special uses, are in Part IV. • Development Regulations. Development regulations control building density and intensity and the height, bulk, location, and appearance of structures on development sites. Development regulations for base zoning districts and for overlay districts are in Parts II and III of the proposed New Zoning Ordinance. Certain development regulations, applicable to multiple districts are in Part IV. • Administrative Regulations. Administrative regulations contain detailed procedures for permitting private development as well as the administration of this Title and include common procedures, and permit processes. Administrative regulations are in Part V. • Use Classifications and Definitions. Part VI provides a list of use classifications and definitions used in the proposed New Zoning Ordinance. The proposed New Zoning Ordinance includes a new Zoning Map with Zoning Districts corresponding to the land use designations in the General Plan Land Use Element and an Overlay Districts map.
