With your super-fandom of My Favorite Murder (MFM), you made this week’s cover story happen. Why do you like the podcast so dang much? I’ve enjoyed true crime since I was a child. When I found the MFM podcast, I found two amazing women who also enjoy true crime and are not ashamed of it. They talk about these stories in such a way that they empower women, victims, and survivors without glorifying the criminals or their crimes. I’m proud to be a Murderino. SSDGM! What’s your favorite episode? Episode 18. It’s the ultimate testament of survival! In 1978, Mary Vincent was 15 years old when she was attacked, mutilated, and thrown off a cliff. But she played dead, climbed up the cliff, and walked to the highway, where she was able to get help.

What do you hope Karen and Georgia talk about during their Santa Barbara broadcast? I really hope they talk about the unsolved Santa Barbara murder of Kim Morgan. In 1985, Kim answered an ad in the local daily paper for light housekeeping and she was never seen again, though parts of her dismembered body were later found. This case has really haunted me. I helped put up “Missing” flyers at the time. Things like that just don’t happen in Santa Barbara, and Kim’s case deserves to be solved.

TRAGEDY ON THE 154: Twenty-eight-year-old John Roderick Dungan (below) was driving a Chevy Camaro westbound on Highway 154 near Cold Spring Bridge on Friday when he crossed into the oncoming lane “for unknown reasons” and slammed head-on into a Chevy Volt driven by Solvang resident Vanessa Bley, 34, killing her and the two children in her backseat. Dungan was airlifted to Cottage Hospital with life-threatening injuries.

NEWS BRIEFS CITY

Driver in Fatal 154 Crash Was a Ticking Time Bomb by Tyler Hayden n Friday, October 25, at approximately 4:45 p.m., Santa Barbara authorities were about to conduct a welfare check at the home of John Roderick Dungan. They had received information, just as they had during a check of Dungan earlier this year, that he was suicidal and homicidal. As police approached his Foothill neighborhood home, they got the call. Dungan, 28, had just been involved in a fatal collision on Highway 154. He was driving his Chevy Camaro westbound near Cold Spring Bridge when, “for unknown reasons,” according to officials, he crossed the double-yellow line and slammed head-on into a Chevy Volt driven by Solvang resident Vanessa Bley, 34. Bley and the two children in her backseat were killed. Dungan was airlifted to Cottage Hospital with life-threatening injuries, where he remains in critical condition as of Monday. The identities of the children are being determined by DNA samples. Bley, a singer and songwriter, was married with two young kids. The California Highway Patrol asks that witnesses to the crash contact their office at 967-1234. Authorities are now determining whether to investigate the incident as a homicide, according to CHP spokesperson Officer Jonathan Gutierrez. Dungan’s previous welfare check occurred on February 23 of this year, when he had texted to everyone on his cell-phone contact list

COU RTE SY

John Roderick Dungan Was Recently Arrested on Gun and Stalking Charges

A man was struck and killed by the northbound train around 10:30 p.m. on 10/22, police spokesperson Anthony Wagner confirmed. The man, who was identified as 62-year-old David Woollum of Santa Barbara, appeared to be homeless, said Wagner, and was found in the area between Mission Street and Las Positas Road, said City Fire spokesperson Kevin Corbett. The police investigation concluded that the man died by suicide. The city is considering changes to the essentials of Milpas Street and wants community feedback through its online survey, available in English and Spanish, through 11/15. Participants are asked to look at a map and pinpoint areas in need of improvement — including street lighting and lanes for traffic, parking, walking, and biking. Potential solutions will be presented to the public at an Approach Workshop later this year. To take the 10-question survey in English, visit surveymonkey.com/r/Milpas_English. For Spanish, visit es.surveymonkey.com/r/Milpas_Espanol. The city will be sending the ballots for its City Council elections — which will determine who will represent the Eastside and Mesa neighborhoods in city government — to Norwalk in Los Angeles County to be counted. After the 11/5 vote closes, the 125-mile lag could delay knowing the winners and losers until 11/8. To enhance ballot collection, City Hall will be open Monday-Saturday, 8 a.m.-5 p.m.

abrication has started on the USS Santa Barbara, an Independence class of small, near-shore combat ships built for stealth and speed. The Santa Barbara name was chosen last October by Secretary of the Navy Richard V. Spencer, who explained, “This city’s innovative workforce and longstanding support of our Navy and Marine Corps team, whether active duty, reserve force, civilian, or veterans, strengthens our Navy and nation.” Two other warships have carried the name of St. Barbara, the patron saint of those who work with cannons and explosives. When completed, the ship will be 421 feet long and be capable of reaching a maximum speed of 44 knots, or 51 miles per hour. It’ll cost around $700 million, hold a crew of 40, and be equipped with an armament of 30mm chain guns, two dozen Hellfire missiles, and a massive 57mm artillery gun.

The vessel will also be able to deliver a small assault force of fighting vehicles, including two Seahawk helicopters parked on deck and a stern ramp for launching small boats. Its side and forward surfaces will be angled to reduce its own radar profile. Austal U.S.A.—the American branch of Australian shipbuilder Austal — is under contract to build 19 of the vessels for the U.S. Navy and has so far has delivered 10. USS Santa Barbara construction in Mobile, Alabama, is expected to take two years. Kevin McTague, president of the Santa Barbara Navy League, said he wasn’t surprised to hear that the ship earned the city’s name. “It’s very well known in the Navy how well the entire Santa Barbara community supports the military,” he said. Santa Barbara is also one of the most requested locations for shore leave, McTague said. —Tyler Hayden

he Santa Barbara City College Board of Trustees unanimously selected Dr. Utpal K. Goswami as the college’s new superintendent/president Friday. Goswami will finish his role as president of MCCLongview in the Metropolitan Community College district in Kansas City, Missouri, before beginning his new role at SBCC in January 2020. “Dr. Goswami brings a depth of experience, and we are certain that he will move Santa Barbara City College forward,” Board President Robert Miller said. “He is a proven leader with a commitment to students and their success.” Goswami, who comes with more than 30 years of experience working in community colleges, is stepping into his new role at one of SBCC’s most challenging times. In the past year and a half, the college has endured blow after blow of racial and gender controversies, a dropping campus morale and trust in administration, and a $3.2 million budget deficit. Miller said Goswami was picked because of his “experience, leadership, fiscal expertise, experience working in diverse communities, and his commitment to educational programs. … We are confident that he will build collaborative relationships on campus and in the community.” Friday’s decision concluded a nearly year-long search for former superintendent/ president Dr. Anthony Beebe’s replacement, who abruptly announced his early retirement for health reasons in February.

SBCC Selects New President

PRESIDENT-SELECT: Dr. Utpal K. Goswami was selected as SBCC’s new superintendent/president on Friday.

Interim Superintendent/President Dr. Helen Benjamin has been leading the college since Beebe left and will conclude her interim role this December. A 17-person screening committee made up of campus and community members recommended Goswami as one of two finalists from a pool of more than 30 candidates. Public forums were held for the public to ask them questions and submit comments to the Board of Trustees on October 24. The board held in-person interviews in closed session the following day and selected Goswami. The trustees will meet to discuss and finalize Goswami’s employment contract negotiations at the next board meeting on November 14. —Delaney Smith

‘Quantum Supremacy’ Achieved ER IC LUC ERO/G O O G LE I N C.

Google’s Sycamore processor

to imagine a test “that is hard for a classical computer but easy for a quantum computer” and conducted in something called a Hilbert space (infinite but measurable) with an error rate low enough to fairly compare to a classical, or “old,” supercomputer. Their success in doing so multiple times allows the Sycamore to claim “quantum supremacy,” or a task an old supercomputer cannot do, “a milestone on the path to full-scale quantum computing.” The authors in the Nature paper conclude that “quantum computing is transitioning from a research topic to a technology that unlocks new computational capabilities. We are only one creative algorithm away from valuable near-term applications.” —Jean Yamamura GO O GLE EARTH

oogle’s Goleta-based supercomputing team announced a historic breakthrough on October 23: verified success of their quantum computing Sycamore processor. The theory since the early 1980s has been that a quantum computer could solve very large math problems. The Sycamore processor completed in 200 seconds what would take a state-of-the-art supercomputer 10,000 years, according to a paper published in the journal Nature. The group has been holed up off Patterson Avenue in an innocuous building necessarily hooked up to a quantity of refrigeration units. The small atomic structures, or qubits, that make up the quantum processor hold together best in subzero temperatures. Fabricating the processor was just the first step assigned to a group led by UCSB physicist Dr. John Martinis by Google’s Hartmut Neven. (Neven is engineering director of the goliath’s Quantum Artificial Intelligence lab and cofounded the Google Glass effort.) Martinis and his team have been researching quantum computing at UCSB for about two decades. Among the tasks before the group was

banking done different UNDER INVESTIGATION: The UC Santa Barbara Police Department received a report on Sunday of a rape that allegedly occurred Saturday at the Sigma Pi fraternity house in Isla Vista.

UCSB Frat Faces Rape Allegations

ocial media posts among UCSB students have been warning of rapes at fraternity parties, just a month into the fall quarter. But only one rape was formally reported to the university police department, according to UCSB spokesperson Andrea Estrada, who said it was anonymously made on October 27. No sexual assaults have been reported to the Sheriff ’s Office since UCSB’s quarter started on September 22, spokesperson Raquel Zick said. The UCSB Police Department sent a “Timely Warning” to the campus community the next day, stating the rape occurred at Sigma Pi, one of the fraternity houses in Isla Vista. According to UCSB’s student-run newspaper the Daily Nexus, two sexual assault victims earlier in the month also named the frat house. UCSB-PD’s Timely Warning — a requirement of the federal Clery Act — reported the victim was assaulted on the evening of October 26 and described the assailant as a 22-year-old, brown-haired, brown-eyed male about 510 tall. Estrada explained that the Clery Act — which requires institutions receiving federal dollars to disclose threats to students and staff — necessitated the university to report incidents on campus and within its “Clery

geography,” as well as those reported to UCSB-PD. (“Clery geography” for UCSB includes recognized organizations like fraternities, even off campus.) An earlier Timely Warning had gone out on October 17 that warned of a “pattern of crimes” at fraternity events and two “incidents” involving date-rape drugs. The frat was not named, however. Estrada explained the threat in that case was the date-rape drug and that the rest of the information was confidential. Why the Clery Coordinator didn’t name the fraternity or events was not clear. The Nexus at the time was reporting that the alleged assailant had been fired from the fraternity. The rapes reported in the student paper, however, alarmed I.V.’s governing body. The Community Services District (IVCSD) condemned “two incidents of sexual assault … reported at Sigma Pi Fraternity along with additional incidents at an unidentified fraternity involving date rape drugs” in an email sent October 25. IVCSD Director Kristie Nguyen wrote, “As a woman in the Greek Community, I am mortified [over] the incidents that have happened in the past few weeks,” adding that she was a survivor herself. “No one should feel afraid in this community.” —Jean Yamamura

he groundwater basins on most of the urban South Coast are drought buffers of last resort, chiefly for pumping in emergencies. But in Montecito, as many as 1,500 private well owners may have “straws” in the same small basin as the Montecito Water District, with its 12 public wells, a team of consultants told the district board this month. The private wells, together with the shallow configuration of the basin, will make it hard for the district to treat wastewater to drinking water standards and inject it into the ground, Tim Thompson, a hydrogeologist with GSI Water Solutions, told the board. “It’s not the story I was hoping to tell here,” he said. The board commissioned the $125,000 GSI study earlier this year to see if “indirect potable reuse” was viable in Montecito, brushing aside a 2015 study that concluded there was “limited recharge potential” in the basin. The cost of building a recycling project and injection wells for such a project was estimated at $31 million. But the board’s hopes seemed to evaporate last week, as Thompson presented a

The state rolled out MyShake, a cell-phone app that announces nearby earthquakes of magnitude 4.5 or greater, and tells recipients to drop, cover, and hold on. Depending on proximity to an epicenter, app users will get the message after, during, or before a quake. Although the alert’s time frame is only seconds, it may be just enough to get fire station doors open, notify hospital operating rooms, and signal mass transit operations.

series of three-dimensional digital illustrations to the board, showing how earthquakes have thrust up massive chunks of bedrock into Montecito’s groundwater basin. Recycled water that is injected into the ground must typically remain there for at least four months, filtering through sand, before it can legally be drawn out for residential use. In Montecito, given the shallow water table and hundreds of private wells, there are very few places where a recycled supply could travel far enough underground unchecked, Thompson said. Montecito’s underground aquifers are largely composed of ancient debris flow deposits, he said. “They’re really lousy for holding and transmitting water.” The district could perhaps inject 140 acrefeet of recycled water per year into Montecito’s basin, Thompson said. But that would meet only 3 percent of customer demand. —Melinda Burns

In a tentative ruling last week, Judge Donna Geck said the city and its Waterfront Department are immune from all civil liability in the drowning case of Davies Kabogoza. The one-time soccer stand-out for both Westmont and SBCC drowned in S.B. Harbor during a paddleboard excursion with a friend two years ago. Once final, Geck’s ruling would leave the owners and operators of the paddleboard rental firm Blue Water Boating on the hook to defend itself in a gross negligence lawsuit filed on behalf Kabogoza’s mother.

The doctors’ report said Dungan arrived agitated and disheveled, but he denied wanting to harm himself or anyone else. “I’m not suicidal,” he told them. “I don’t wanna hurt anybody. I just wanna go home.” Doctors diagnosed Dungan with major depressive disorder with severe psychotic symptoms. They prescribed him 10mg of Lexapro a day, and he “became calm and cooperative,” the report states. They also recommended he be held for three to seven days, but he was released after just two. In his discharge papers, Vanessa Bley included in public court records, Dungan’s “judgment” and “insight” were described as “poor, because he does not accept consequences for his actions or recognize he has a psychiatric disorder.” Under the category of “liabilities,” doctors wrote: “He is impulsive and has minimal support system.” Dungan had complained that he had no friends and that he was unable to talk to his parents about his problems. Nevertheless, the psychiatrists at Las Encinas Hospital listed Dungan’s prognosis as “good.” They said he promised to follow up with his outpatient doctor within a week of his release, that “he is motivated to get better,” and “he has a place to live.” They noted he had a family history of alcoholism and mental illness.

was nearly wiped out of existence by an automobile while cycling on Gibraltar Road on Sunday evening. The driver crossed the middle of the road and drifted into my lane as we were both navigating a narrow switchback. I avoided a head-on crash by instinctively maneuvering around them. It was nearing sunset, visibility wasn’t perfect, and I had my light on — this wasn’t my first nearmiss. I recall many over the years, and it seems that a cyclist gets injured on Santa Barbara’s mountain roads every year. As a road user like anyone else, my goal is safety and responsibility for everyone. Cyclists should obey the laws of the traffic. But please, Santa Barbara drivers, slow down to stay in your lane on these narrow mountain roads of ours.

The city’s quest to seize homeless people’s stuff attracted Facebook commentary: Hector Sanchez Punishing people for being poor is more misery on misery. It’s a shame this is the best the City of Santa Barbara can offer—a lack of compassion and understanding of what homeless people are facing. I am ashamed of this city and this response. You get a big fail in my book on your lack of leadership. Darryl Genis People who think this is okay are incapable of understanding homelessness. I was homeless less than a year ago. If not for friends’ tremendous generosity, I might still be. I see displaced fellows banished to the street and have empathy. May others have their minds similarly “opened.” Kendra Fong I challenge all who support this to go a month living in the street with “only a backpack.” Homeless means everything you own is with you. At all times. No storage. • Cathy Perrizo Edwards At the very least, the city should figure out a way to provide lockers or some other way to store the stuff so the homeless don’t have to carry it around or leave it on the streets. David Cutaia The staff report said, “personal property in certain public spaces … interferes with the safe passage of pedestrians and the disabled.” I’m going to have to agree. I rode my bike home going up Santa Barbara Street and saw several carts tied to trees half blocking the sidewalk. If I were in a wheelchair, I’d have a hell of a time getting through.

anta Barbara is so proud of itself for leading the charge on smoking bans (and everything else known to man), yet I work downtown and regularly see locals and tourists alike lighting up in high-foot-traffic areas, without care or fear of consequences. If you want to see this blatant disregard firsthand, check out the alley between La Arcada and the adjacent parking garage. It is a vagrant hangout where cigarettes and marijuana are regularly (and ironically) toked within feet of a posted sign proclaiming Santa Barbara as a “smoke free city.” It’s laughable. What is the point of making laws if they are not going to be enforced?

Jean Ellen Flynn Franklin Pfeil 12/30/1920 - 10/6/2019

Jean Ellen Flynn Franklin Pfeil was born Dec 30, 1920, to James and Georgie Flynn in the little goldmining town of Georgetown, Ca. On October 6, 2019, Jean went to her eternal home to be with Jesus, her Lord and Savior. Jean was born into the Flynn clan of goldminers on her father’s side and the German family of innkeepers on her mother’s side. Her early years were spent roaming the golden hills around Georgetown with her siblings: James, Don, Margaret, Jack, and Patricia. Because roads were dangerous and services few, Jean moved to Auburn with her family to attend and graduate from Auburn High School in 1938. After high school, Jean moved to Oakland to attend business college and work as a secretary in San Francisco. During this World War II era, dances were held at the San Francisco Presidio. This is where she met her first love, Captain Charles (Charlie) Cleveland Franklin, whom she married in 1945. She continued to work supporting the family while Charlie attended dental school at UCSF. Charlie’s hometown of Santa Barbara became their home to raise daughters Janet, Coleen, and Tracy. Tragically, Charlie died in 1957 causing Jean to return to work. In 1958, Jean became the school secretary of Roosevelt Elementary School, a position she loved and a position she held until 1979. During that time, she married Ray Wolfe and affectionately embraced his five children, Marian, Patricia, Rodney, Ralph, and Rick. Years later, Jean married Arthur (Art) Pfeil, a Santa Barbara High School math teacher in 1975, who became the perfect grandparent partner. After Jean’s retirement in 1979, the Pfeil’s life together was filled with travel, weekly family dinners, overnights with grandchildren, daily walks at the beach, and so much more. Their grandchildren were rich in love and adventure because of Grandma and Grandpa. In 2011, Art went to be with the Lord. Throughout her life, Jean was fun-loving, hard-working, faith-filled, generous in spirit, kind, nononsense, organized, persistent, constant. Jean Flynn Franklin Pfeil 16

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

Big Gene was born December 15, 1956 and passed away July 2nd, 2019. His family moved to Santa Barbara in 1958 where Gene attended local schools.

After that Gene learned the Carpentry trade. Gene met the love of his life Jeri Lynn Mason whom he married in 2001. They spent a lot of time camping, barbecuing and just being with each other. They were together for 28 years. Gene was preceded in death by his father Joseph Rooney and his wonderful mother Helen Rooney. And of course his beloved Pit Bull “Burff.” Gene is survived by his wife Jeri Rooney, one brother Steve (Fla.), 3 sisters, Connie (CO), Melody (SB), Kathy (SB), one nephew JB Vasquez of SB, and last but not least “Curly” his best friend.

Len Berman

7/29/1926 – 10/10/2019

Len grew up in West Hartford, Connecticut. The son of Moses Berman and Bernice Karelis Berman, he developed a lifelong love of music inspired by his piano-playing mother and his sixth-grade teacher, who played classical music for her students each afternoon. Starting at age 9, he studied the saxophone, then the clarinet, and later wrote songs. In high school, Len was a star baseball player and would remain athletic his whole life. He played senior softball into his 70s, during which time he produced the short documentary “Spirit of Senior Softball.” While attending the University of Connecticut, Len was drafted into the navy during WWII and stationed on the aircraft carrier USS Wasp in the Pacific. He played sax in the military band and loaded antiaircraft guns during attacks. Len was proud that his ship shot down the last kamikaze of the war. He and the rest of the crew received a Bronze Battle Star for their efforts that day. While sailing home from the war two weeks later, a powerful typhoon severely damaged the bow of the Wasp. Len often said that the typhoon was among the most harrowing events of his life. After returning to West Hartford, Len became a Realtor, a home builder and eventually an apartment developer. He married, had two daughters, was active in state politics and served on a governor-appointed tax review board. At age 42 and semi-retired, Len and his family moved to Pacific Palisades, California, where he co-founded a Dixieland band in Brentwood and followed a dream to study filmmaking. Imaginative, determined, and confident, Len would go on to produce and direct award-winning documentaries, children’s films, and political commercials. He produced the original, live-action film version of “The Velveteen Rabbit,” as well as “Peege,” a short film about an elderly woman in a nursing home, which in 2007 was named to the National Film Registry by the Library of Congress. In 1989, he moved to Santa Barbara and soon formed a band, Jazz Plus. The beloved Santa Barbara fixture played Dixieland, blues and swing at public events and private parties throughout the area. Len took special pleasure in performing

with his band buddies at local retirement communities and senior centers. When he wasn’t uplifting people through music, he enjoyed traveling, golfing, movies, reading, watching baseball games and playing chess. He also spoke to high school students about growing up during the Depression and his memories of the war. Charismatic and fun, Len brought enormous joy to many people through his music and films. He exuded a zest for life and was always open to trying new things and meeting new people. He is remembered with love and appreciation by his brother, Daniel Berman; two daughters, Jody Berman (Doak Heyser) and Gail Hart, and their mother, Doris Wechter; grandson, Justin Hart; and devoted friend Christine Ryerson. Donations can be made in Len’s name to VNH Foundation (hospice care), 509 East Montecito St., Suite 200, Santa Barbara, CA 93103; or Wildlife Conservation Society (Len loved elephants), 2300 Southern Blvd., Bronx, NY 10460. A memorial service will be held at 2 p.m. on Dec. 8, 2019, at Maravilla Santa Barbara, 5486 Calle Real.

obituaries Robert Bruce Duncan 8/25/1948 - 8/29/2019

Bruce was a longtime Santa Barbara resident who died suddenly of congestive heart failure on August 29th, just days after celebrating his seventy-first birthday. A bon vivant and a starving artist at the same time, he was an avid reader, subscribed to The New Yorker, and loved to tell a good story. He prided himself on his ability to enjoy life no matter his resources. Long before it became fashionable, Bruce had his photography studio and residence in the funk zone on Gray Avenue. Gentrification of the funk zone ultimately displaced him, but thanks to a former housemate and longtime friend he landed on his feet in uptown Garden Court on De La Vina Street. Bruce was the eldest of four children born to Rosemary Hobson Duncan of Ventura and George Perry Duncan of Santa Paula. Both his parents were proud descendants of California pioneers that had crossed the plains in wagon trains and settled in the southern part of Santa Barbara County before it became Ventura County. Bruce was glad to tell you that his great-great-grandfather William Dewey Hobson was known as the father of Ventura County, and he happily celebrated California history as a longtime member of the Platrix #2 Chapter of E Clampus Vitus. As a child, Bruce traveled and lived in Europe with his family and received his early education in England. This privilege gave him a sense of being a citizen of the world and established an intellectual sophistication that remained an important part of his identity. Returning to the U.S., he developed his sense of independence as a boarding student at the Ojai Valley School. With support from his parents and teachers, young Bruce pursued a wide range of activities, including five that would shape his adult life: literature, photography, camping, fishing, and shooting. When the Duncans moved to Santa Barbara in 1964, Bruce was sent back east to board at Millbrook School in upstate New York. There, Bruce polished his research, writing and photography skills and developed a network of friendships that would later aid his journalism and authorship. Spending sum-

mers at the family beach house on Padaro Lane compensated for the hardships of eastern winters and peaked Bruce’s interest in surfing and the ocean. Bruce briefly attended UC Berkeley, before returning to Santa Barbara and becoming immersed in surf photography. Some of his earliest professional photography documented the innovative shortboard surfing of Bob McTavish and other Australian surfers in California and Puerto Rico for Surfer Magazine. In 1968, his budding photography career was interrupted by the draft. After a brief stint at Fort Ord, Bruce managed to convince the U.S. Army that he was unsuitable for military life, and he was honorably discharged and returned to Santa Barbara to study at UCSB, where he received a B.A. in English. In the early 70s, Bruce and similarly artistic friends enjoyed the low rent and great view of Shelby Street in Summerland, becoming regulars at the Nugget despite their long hair. When Bruce moved back to Padaro Lane, he reconnected with the ocean, owned a series of boats, and was briefly a commercial fisherman and licensed 6-pack charter captain. In addition to being a sportsman, he promoted culture in Santa Barbara by facilitating concerts—bringing George Carlin to the Granada— and hosting a local radio show interviewing noted authors. In the 80s, Bruce was fortunate to marry warm-hearted Susanna, but Bruce couldn’t give up his independence, and their union was short-lived. During this time, Bruce became a regular contributor of photographs and articles to Santa Barbara periodicals including The Weekly, The Independent, and Santa Barbara Magazine. The Mesa Café was a perennial hangout for Bruce, and morning would find him ensconced at his favorite table. For many years, the café walls were covered with his photos of smiling staff and patrons. Automobiles, woodworking, and classic wooden boats became the focus of his professional photography and writing, published in a variety of national magazines and books. Cutwater: Speedboats and Launches from the Golden Age of Boating combined his text and images in a successful coffee-table book. Bruce enjoyed the challenge of action photography on the water, traveling the country to photograph unique historic boats through a network of proud owners. His images were regularly used in books and calendars focused on classic wooden powerboats. Bruce also enjoyed photographing people and particularly the female form. His early work for La Belle Modeling Agency partnered him with aspiring models seeking to

create distinctive professional portfolios. Much of his later photography was focused on dramatically lit female portraits. In later years, Bruce worked for a local importer of highly specialized small-caliber target shooting rifles. Not satisfied to simply deal with the abstract machinery, he became an expert. As in photographic work, he was dedicated to his craft, preparing his own shells and driving miles to the range early in the morning to enjoy the best conditions for long-distance shooting. Bruce became a nationally ranked long-distance bench shooting marksman. Bruce was preceded in death by his mother, father, sister Jane Elyse Duncan and brother Cameron (Ronald). He is survived by brother John Lansing Duncan, half-brother Ian Douglas Duncan, half-sister Malone Duncan Yoh, niece Mary Mackenzie Duncan, and nephew Owen Hopper Duncan. The family wishes to express their gratitude to those who helped Bruce during his illness and facilitated his residence at Garden Court.

Pamela J. Webber

11/23/1930 - 10/21/2019

The Santa Barbara community lost a beloved local treasure with the passing of Pamela J. Webber on October 21, 2019, at the age of 88. Pam was a pillar of the hospitality community and contributed to countless local causes and preservation organizations. A pioneering businesswoman, she worked her way up from hotel manager to hotel owner—becoming the decorated CEO of Santa Barbara Hotel Group, a family-run collection of five distinctive properties. She remained actively engaged in the company and community throughout her three-year battle with cancer. Born in Plymouth, England on November 23, 1930, Pam grew up during World War II. She emigrated to the United States in 1956 with her husband David Webber. They settled in Santa Barbara, where Pam’s career as a hotelier began as manager of the 12-room Hacienda Motel. Hospitality was the family’s calling. In 1962, they became co-owners of the Peppertree Motor Inn and purchased the Encina Lodge seven years later. In the 1990s, they added Brisas Del Mar Inn by the Beach, Inn by the Harbor and Lavender Inn by the Sea to their collection, forming the Santa Barbara Hotel Group. Beyond being a hands-on hotelier and loving mother, Pam shared her boundless energy and sharp intelligence with the community through her nonprofit service. She was the first female ever to sit on the board of the Santa Barbara Region Chamber of Commerce. She co-founded Looking Good Santa Barbara and led the effort to create Santa Barbara’s Scenic Drive. An avid equestrian, she was Master of the Third Field of the Santa Ynez Valley Hounds and was active in the Los Padres and Hope Ranch trails associations. Pam’s service and dedication have been recognized by countless organizations over her lifetime. Honors include the prestigious Best Western’s Chairman’s Legacy Award, the Spirit of Entrepreneurship Foundation’s Rock Star Life Achievement Award, Visit Santa Barbara’s Tourism Star and Santa Barbara Region Chamber of Commerce’s Businesswoman of the Year. Pam is survived by her children Jeanette and Philip Webber, granddaughter Erielle Webber and sister Sandy Jones of England. The Celebration of Life for Pamela J. Webber will be held Saturday, November 23, at 3:00 p.m. at St. Marks-in-the-Valley Episcopal Church, 2901 Nojoqui Ave., Los Olivos

A Remembrance

I still ponder her life and death. As I grew up, I saw her change from a self-sacrificing parent to PATIENCE AND PASSION: Katherine Isaacson’s son John recalls how after a woman who sought the fulfillment of her own a lifetime of sacrifice and giving to others — her family, her students, her dream. church — his mother embraced her talent for song. My mother, Katherine Laughlin Isaacson, was born so smitten that he handed her his Sierra Club membership to Herb and Rosemary Laughlin in New Hampshire, but the family moved and settled in Santa Barbara. Herb card, rather than his driver’s license, in a bid to impress her. and Rosemary raised their four children on Schoolhouse After a four-month courtship, they were married at All Road in Montecito. Their home was large enough to have Saints-by-the-Sea in Montecito. They eventually had three an elevator, with peacocks roaming the grounds. children: I was born in 1976; my brother, Tom, in 1978; and Herb hosted gatherings at which he would play flamenco my sister, Holly, in 1982. guitar with his teacher, Pepe Romero.

had somehow awakened, and we were thunderstruck. I understand now that this new development was not only inevitable, as she attempted to cope with changing conditions in her life, but also fortuitous. It demonstrated that after a lifetime of sacrifice and giving to others — her family, her students, her church — she was finally embracing her own talents and abilities. She had studied French at Marymount, Italian at Berkeley, Spanish at City College, and was now learning arias in these languages through Val’s master classes, as well as in those of Jennifer McGregor and Jeannine Altmeyer. After studying classical songs and opera for many years, she began singing with the chorus of the Opera Santa Barbara, where she performed in Madama Butterfly, Don Pasquale, La Traviata, and La Bohème. In retrospect, she may have sensed that the future was fleeting. In the decade that followed, she traveled with her family in Europe, took a cruise to Alaska with my father, and spent several summers as a chaperone for young singers at the Hawai‘i Performing Arts Festival. I was living in Portland, Oregon, when she told me that she had been diagnosed with ovarian cancer. She met her first grandchild and then began chemotherapy and continued teaching on a reduced schedule. There was a remission. She spoke at my wedding, looking elegant and composed. Afterward, she told me that the cancer had returned. The next year, in September, my wife and I welcomed our twin daughters. My mother had completed the school year in June but was already on hospice. She wanted so much to meet her grandchildren, one of whom was named for her. After a lifetime of resisting spirituality, the imminence of mortality prompted me to suggest that we have the girls baptized. My mom, who was struggling to eat, bloomed at the idea. She used all of her strength to arrange for a baptism ceremony at the family home in Goleta. The Reverend Michelle Woodhouse administered last rites to my mother and baptized my daughters. Minutes later, my mother drew her last breath. She had accomplished what she set out to do. And so I ponder these events, turning them over endlessly in my mind, seeking a pattern or some insight into my mother’s life. I look back, but I also look forward, as I watch n my daughters growing and listen to them singing.

uspiciously in tune with the Halloween season, the popular podcast My Favorite Murder is taking over The Arlington Theatre this weekend, as the dark-minded duo of Karen Kilgariff and Georgia Hardstark record episodes live in front of their legions of rabid, true-crime-craving fans. Billed as My Favorite Weekend, the Friday-night and all-day-Saturday affair includes cocktail receptions, a brunch, an art exhibit, and multiple tapings/ performances, some drawn from Santa Barbara’s own

murder files. Full VIP packages, which sold out quickly, commanded nearly $2,000 a ticket. To better understand why this podcast is enrapturing for so many, we asked contributor Samantha Eve to interview Kilgariff and Hardstark in advance of their appearance. And just to amp up that creepy crime ante, we charged our own executive editor, Nick Welsh — who’s investigated Santa Barbara’s most dastardly deeds as a journalist here for nearly four decades — to detail his three favorite murders from Santa Barbara’s deep and recent past.

MURDER & MAYHEM BY THE SEA by Nick Welsh

Santa Barbara may be paradise, but its inhabitants have been killing each other in ways mundane and spectacular since the days of Adam and Eve. The three recounted here, however, hit us with their loud and obvious resonance with what’s happening today on the world stage and right here in Santa Barbara. The point being, the more things change, the more they don’t. Karen Kilgariff (left) and Georgia Hardstark

THE ARMENIAN G

ourgen Yanikian was in a big hurry. “Where have you been?” he asked the sheriff ’s deputies when they showed up at the Biltmore Hotel to arrest him for the murder of two Turkish diplomats. “I’ve been waiting 30 minutes.” Actually, Yanikian had been waiting considerably longer than that. At age 77, Yanikian was known to many in Santa Barbara as a retired civil engineer, folk-dance aficionado, and man about town — but the true story of his life had been written long ago in the blood of slaughtered Armenians. At age 8, he watched Turks slit the throat of his older brother. By 20, Yanikian had seen thousands of dead Armenians — 26 bodies were members of his own family. After the murder of his brother, Yanikian’s family moved from their Armenian village, seeking refuge throughout the region. Yanikian studied engineering in Russia, built railroads in Iran, and, after World War II, moved to the United States, where he developed subdivisions, made money, lost money, wrote books, and then moved to Santa Barbara, where he strode through the streets, an imposing figure with long silver hair. He had spent more than 20 years trying to make a Hollywood film depicting the Armenian genocide — three million dead, killed by the Turks in 1915. When funding for the movie deal collapsed — done in, it would turn out, by actions of the State Department

ASSASSIN and the Shah of Iran — Yanikian began searching for a Plan B. He finally settled on murder. On January 27, 1973, in his Biltmore cottage, Yanikian sat down to lunch with two senior diplomats from the Turkish consulate. He had invited them to reclaim a painting stolen from the Turkish sultanate more than 100 years ago. Instead, Yanikian yanked out his Luger, secreted in a hollowed-out copy of Who’s Who in the West, and fired nine rounds at the diplomats. Realizing the men were still alive, he pulled out another handgun — a Browning — and shot both in the head twice. He didn’t want them to suffer, he later testified, but he also told the jury, “I destroyed two evils. For me, they were not really human.” Yanikian’s plan was simple. By allowing himself to be arrested — he immediately reported the crime to the hotel’s front desk — he hoped his trial would become an international showcase convicting Turkey of crimes against humanity. “Two million words I have written, and nobody pays attention,” Yanikian testified during his trial. “Maybe this is more noisy. Maybe this act will bring attention.” It did, though not as he had thought. District Attorney David Minier blocked Yanikian’s efforts to call Armenian survivors and historians to testify. “Massacres do not form a defense,” Minier told the

Q&A WITH MY FAVORITE MURDER COHOSTS

by Samantha Eve

ince 2016, Karen Kilgariff and Georgia Hardstark have been sharing grisly stories with an audience of millions via their podcast, My Favorite Murder. Kilgariff, a comedian, and Hardstark, a former Cooking Channel TV personality, bonded at a Halloween party in 2014 over the story of the deadly car crash at the SXSW festival earlier that year, which Kilgariff had witnessed. The duo took their fascination with the macabre and turned it into a 60- to 120-minute weekly podcast where they discuss television recommendations, positive aspects of their day, and, of course, murders, survival stories, ghosts, and weird things found in walls. Nowadays, Kilgariff and Hardstark are well-known in the podcasting community, recognized for their fascination of dark, dangerous, and occasionally bizarre happenings and their sardonic quips, such as “Stay sexy, and don’t get murdered.” The pair also use their platform to normalize issues such as anxiety and mental health through open discussion and, among other things, their publicly shared photographs of their medications (#MyFavoriteMeds). My Favorite Murder has approximately 19 million listeners a month and has drawn thousands of fans, known as Murderinos,

COURTESY DAVID MINIER

During his trial, Yanikian sought to represent himself as a philosopher king. Minier made him out to be a sleazeball, noting that Yanikian wrote a book detailing the sex lives of college coeds and that he tried to pick up a waitress two nights before the killings. Yanikian’s defense was diminished capacity brought on by the trauma he experienced as a genocide survivor. At the time of the killings, his wife, a doctor, had been suffering from severe dementia for seven years, and the once-wealthy family was now destitute. Yanikian was found guilty of murder and received a life sentence. After serving nine years in prison, he was transferred to judge. “If they did, I could shoot a German a care facility, a sick old man. delicatessen owner and have witnesses say I At his Forest Lawn funeral, 350 Armenian rights activists gathwas justified.” ered to honor his crime. “In our Minier later expressed regret over his tacheart of hearts, we know he had tics; Yanikian was guilty of murder, he wrote not committed an act of murder,” in editorials, but the genocide should have Gourgen Yanikian been acknowledged.

to their sold-out live shows all over the world. Kilgariff and Hardstark will bring their widely loved show to town for a weekend-long event that includes a variety of activities such as live podcast recordings and special guests from other podcasts, including Billy Jensen and Paul Holes of The Murder Squad and Sara Iyer and Steven Ray Morris of The Purrrcast. The weekend will also include an art exhibition featuring original works and merchandise, and cocktail hours for Murderinos to socialize and get to know one another. After being introduced to My Favorite Murder last year, I binge-listened to the series in its entirety in a matter of weeks. I recently spoke with the women over the phone prior to their upcoming Santa Barbara event.

How would you describe My Favorite Murder to potential new listeners? Karen Kilgariff: We hear [people say] it’s like talking to your best friends about a topic that you had no idea they were interested in, that you were always kind of embarrassed about being interested in, which is true crime. You can talk about it freely and don’t have to be embarrassed. Who is your audience? Georgia Hardstark: The majority are women that are in their twenties to thirties. We keep getting asked, “Why does true crime appeal to women?” I think there are 50 answers [that] would all be accurate to somebody. It’s fascinating; it’s scary; it makes you feel like you’re getting prepared, it makes you feel like you’re learning something that’s been kept from you. Sometimes it’s empathy; sometimes it’s assuaging your anxieties. It appeals to different people in different ways. What made you feel that podcasting was the right format to tell your stories? GH: Karen and I had both been podcasting and listening to podcasts for years before we started My Favorite Murder; knowing that there’s an audience for everything made it easy to go into podcasting with this topic. There was no one to tell us what to do. We didn’t have to get the green light from some corporate overlord to do this. We got to DIY it, punkrock style.

larence Gray ranks as one of the great villains in Santa Barbara history, yet few people know his name. While a candidate, President Trump had bragged that he could shoot someone on Fifth Avenue and get away with it. In 1880, Gray — a charismatic, if frightening, force within Santa Barbara’s Republican Party — actually shot and killed the editor of the Santa Barbara Press in broad daylight on State Street. And he got away with it. When Gray moved to Santa Barbara in 1870, he was described as “reckless, unscrupulous, audacious, brilliant, enterprising, and witty.” An attorney by profession, Gray represented clients who were described as “gamblers, members of the sporting set, and habitués of saloons.” In less than 10 years, Gray himself was arrested more than 20 times, mostly for fighting. Once, he beat a priest senseless. When the Press newspaper offices were destroyed in an arson fire, Gray was the chief suspect, though no charges were ever filed. The paper — under a previous editor — had described Gray as “a blatherskite and brazen-faced demagogue and hoodlum.” In 1876, Gray beat up William Russell, editor of The Index, another publication, leaving his head a bloody mess. It was the fourth time Gray had assaulted Russell. He was fined $20. Gray’s role in community life, however, was more complicated than his rap sheet might suggest. In 1873, Gray sought the Republican Party nomination for District Attorney and came within seven votes of winning. He was always an elected delegate at Republican Party conventions. In 1874, when Judge Pablo de la Guerra died, Gray was one of 12 pallbearers who carried the coffin through a crowd of 2,000 mourners. In 1880, Gray again sought his party’s nomination for District Attorney. Again, there were horrified

There have been thousands of Murderino Facebook groups started by fans, usually created by taking a word and adding the suffix “-ino.” For example, Teacherinos, Vegerinos, Drinkerinos, etc. What’s the most specific, absurd, and/or wonderful subgroup that you’ve heard of? GH: I just heard that there are Swiftarinos, which are people who are obsessed with Taylor Swift and My Favorite Murder. Karen was playing a new Taylor Swift song for me, and I was freaking about it, so I posted something about it and [found out] that’s a thing.

objections from the Press. When State Supreme Court stopped the election, Theodore Glancey, the new Press editor, celebrated: “The nomination was disgraceful in every respect,” he wrote, relieved that the “good people of Santa Barbara” would not endure the administration of justice by “hoodlums and law-breakers.” Journalism at that time was not for the faint of heart, but there was nothing fainthearted about Glancey. He had just moved to Santa Barbara only a few years after the previous Press editor had been horsewhipped down State Street by the District Attorney, W.T. Wilson, and left in a state of “insensibility.”

Many of your quips from the show are now featured on keychains, T-shirts, tattoos, and more, such as “Stay Sexy, Don’t Get Murdered”; “You’re in a Cult, Call Your Dad”; and “Stay Out of the Forest.” Did any of these take off unexpectedly? KK: All of them. We don’t ever know until we see them on Twitter. It’s like, Oh, that’s funny. We don’t know who said it. GH: Imagine that somebody has been recording every conversation you’ve had. We don’t remember — I certainly don’t remember — what we say in the shows until afterward, when people tell us, “You pronounced that wrong,” “You said that wrong,” “You shouldn’t have said that,” or “That was so funny.” In the midst of it, that’s not what you’re thinking about. It’s one of the payoffs after a show gets posted.

THE STATE STREET Originally from Illinois, Glancey had the personality and physique of an ax handle. Described as “argumentatively gifted,” Glancey was a radical Republican, a strict abolitionist, and an even stricter teetotaler. His political reporting was said to be “terse, pointed, and fearless.” In hindsight, it seems inevitable that Glancey and Gray would come to blows. On September 25, 1880, Gray confronted Glancey on State Street, demanding to know if he had written the article condemning his nomination. When Glancey said he had, Gray pulled out a pistol and tried to shoot him. Glancey grabbed his wrists, shouted he was unarmed, and walked away. Gray chased after him and shot him. The bullet struck one of Glancey’s wrists, broke both bones, entered his stomach, and blew a hole through him. Glancey stumbled into the Morris

Hotel at State and Haley and collapsed in the reading room. He died the next day, lamenting: “I am dying without seeing my dear little wife-girl.” Gray was tried three times on murder charges — but each time, he got off. The first trial ended with a hung jury. Despite many eyewitnesses, Gray claimed selfdefense. The second trial ended in a conviction and a 20-year sentence, but the verdict was overturned when it came out that the jurors had sequestered themselves with 20 gallons of beer, three bottles of wine, and an indeterminate quantity of whiskey. The third trial proved the charm; Gray was flat-out acquitted. Gray moved to San Francisco, but the cataclysmic fire of 1906 destroyed his health, and he died in Sacramento one year later.

Q & A CONT'D FROM P. 23

In 2018, you launched Exactly Right Media. How has having your own media company changed the way you work? GH: We get to make choices based on what we know [our listeners] would like. From doing the live shows … and seeing what they react to and what appeals to them … stuff that comes along where we’re like, we can absolutely see this being a hit knowing what we know about the people who listen to our show. That is the coolest because we’re trying to take the audience that we’ve gotten and really serve them. KK: [Stitcher was] basically like, “Hey, we think you guys have good taste. Can you bring that to your own platform?” We’d been getting pitches and working out new podcasts. It’s been really fun to have someone pitch you this podcast that they want to do. If you immediately say to yourself, “I want to listen to that now,” then you know it’s going to be a good podcast. Our friends and all these really talented people have ideas and passion, and we get to bring those to life. How will My Favorite Weekend differ from live podcasts? What can people expect? GH: Well, they get to eat brunch with us. KK: I think it’s going to be less of a show and more like a Murderino meetup — that we show up for.

Is Politics Our New Religion? Ann Taves

Professor of Religious Studies

Instead of arguing over what counts as religious or political, we can view both as attempting to answer the big questions that structure our worldviews. Who are we? What is the situation in which we find ourselves? What goals should we strive for? If we think of the current polarization in American society in terms of conflicting worldviews, we can use these questions not only to deepen our understanding of how and why we view our current situation the way we do, but also to help us reach out to others to overcome the polarization.

Making Sense of the #MeToo Moment: An Institutional and Cultural Perspective Meredith Whitnah, Assistant Professor of Sociology

5:30 p.m., Tuesday, November 7, 2019 University Club, 1332 Santa Barbara Street Free and open to the public. For information, call 565-6051. From secular contexts like Hollywood and news organizations and religious ones like the Roman Catholic Church and evangelical megachurches, numerous allegations of sexual harassment and abuse have emerged. These different contexts seem to share some interesting similarities. How we make sense of the current #MeToo moment and the similari-ties and differences across this array of organizations and institutions? Whitnah will unpack some of the institutional and cultural factors that shape both the problem and our responses to it, highlighting the ways individual experiences intersect with systems much bigger than ourselves.

struction crews there are otherwise busy rebuilding the region’s residences lost to the devastating fires of 2017. Last week, a gaggle of media was treated to tastes of the menu, which is currently only available to Biltmore hotel visitors and Coral Casino members (but also members’ guests, if you know anyone…). Prior to dinner, we were invited to take our own pictures of the dishes, enhanced by an on-site light box — and that Instagram-friendly technology is almost certain to be available to the general public at restaurants around the country soon enough, for better snaps and assuredly worse grumbling from the justeat-the-damn-food crowd. With pics bagged, then came the wines (Far Niente chardonnay, The Hilt pinot noir, Jonata syrah-based blend) and the dishes, many of which are pictured here. The entire menu was the highlight, but particularly revelatory tastes for me included the mackerel

ne of the most unique fundraisers on the Santa Bar-

Organized for the 12th straight year by People Helping People (PHP), the November 9 event — which runs 3-6 p.m. at the Marriott in Buellton with tastings, Her ‘Field Office’ Is Just food, and music — features bottles by Brander, One of Many Original Labels Dierberg, Stolpman, and Adorning Fundraising Wines many other wineries that are adorned with original BY MATT KETTMANN artwork by a who’s who of professional painters. Impressionistic oil painter Renée Kelleher, who moved to the Santa Ynez Valley a quarter century ago, is one such artist.

is delayed in opening or shut down due to natural disasters, the luxury hotel company sends its experienced staff to other properties. Called “Task Force,” this program occurred when our own Biltmore was shuttered following the Montecito mudslides — with 45 employees leaving Santa Barbara to share their insights elsewhere — and now it’s happening to our own benefit across the street at the Coral Casino. That’s where chef Erik Anderson, who’s worked for such Michelin-starred restaurants as Coi and the French Laundry, is posted up at the Tydes Restaurant until November 16, serving a collaboration menu with Chef Michael Patria, himself a relatively new hire for the Biltmore. Anderson is the head chef at Truss Restaurant and Bar at Four Seasons Napa Valley, but that hotel’s opening is delayed until 2020, largely due to the lack of available laborers. Con-

When did you start painting agricultural scenes? From the

time I set up my studio, I began painting these workers who bent over the crops all day, every day, down the road from our little ranch, or who tied the vines in the vineyards and harvested the grapes seasonally. This industry could not survive without them, so I wanted to honor them in this way. Because of this interest, when I was asked to paint for Vino de Sueños perhaps six or seven years ago, I donated a painting of field workers for the wine label. It was what I was enjoying, and it felt right to support the work of PHP in this way. What did you paint this year? This year, I did a painting of the

group of women workers who seem to enjoy their team and their work. I could hear them laughing and chatting as they tended to their picking and packing. They had blueand white-striped umbrellas keeping the yellow squash shaded as it was being packed for market in the wagon behind the ever-moving tractor. I titled it “Field Office.” Why do you support People Helping People? To see the dif-

ference PHP makes for so many families is simply heartwarming. These people working our fields are our friends who labor for us. This is a small token of my gratitude to participate in this annual fundraising event. I find the artwork sells every year and allows me the chance to donate all proceeds to PHP.

Age Restaurant, which opened at 415 North Milpas Street in December 2015, has closed. Rumor has it that the people who brought you Stone Age Restaurant are the owners of the new Chinese restaurant Meet Up that opened at 2251 Las Positas Road, formerly Empress Palace, last September. Visit meetuprestaurant.com. While Ca’Dario Ristorante at 37 East Victoria Street is open for business as usual, their companion eatery, Ca’Dario Pizzeria, which opened next door in October 2012, has closed. The owners are focusing on opening a Ca’Dario on Coast Village Road and still serve pizza at Ca’Dario Pizza Veloce in the Public Market every day. And, as reported in this paper two weeks ago, The Bear and Star restaurant, which opened in May 2017 inside Fess Parker Wine Country Inn at 2860 Grand Avenue in Los Olivos, will close at the end of the year. Chef John Cox, who previously worked at the Post Ranch Inn in Big Sur, will head north again to focus on Cultura, his mezcal bar in Carmel, and Cult Taco, an eatery in Monterey. The Parker family is in the process of finding a new tenant. Before The Bear and Star arrived, the space was occupied by Petros, Restaurant Marcella, and Wine Cask.

With love like that, it makes sense that San Francisco would hold a two-day festival devoted to coffee and its accoutrements. The fourth annual event, which takes place this weekend at Fort Mason, offers something for everyone, from the casual connoisseur to micro roasters to fair trade enthusiasts. There will be samplings from more than 50 roasters and talks called “Coffee Convos,” during which industry pioneers, leaders, and baristas will discuss topics ranging from coffee companies that are making a difference in the world to womenowned and-operated farms to the history of coffee through the years.

s I read The Woman’s Hour: The Great Fight to Win the Vote, one of my first thoughts was: Why is this history so unfamiliar? When I posed this question to the book’s author, Elaine Weiss, she advised me not to be too hard on myself, because the story of how American women won the vote is rarely covered with any depth in history textbooks. Usually one paragraph, along the lines of “Women asked for the vote at the Seneca Falls Convention in 1848 and were granted the franchise in 1920.” Susan B. Anthony and Elizabeth Cady Stanton are often the only names mentioned. This isn’t to say that Anthony and Stanton were not important figures, but between Seneca Falls and ratification of the 19th Amendment lay 72 years of persistent struggle, organizing, agitation, and lobbying by a host of women. The Woman’s Hour is a relevant and riveting work of American history. The book reads like a novel and is full of largerthan-life characters locked in political and moral combat in the sticky Nashville summer of 1920. The American Bar Association awarded the The Woman’s Hour its 2019 Silver Gavel Award. Weiss, author of the book Fruits of Victory: The Woman’s Land Army in the Great War, and numerous articles for Harper’s, the Atlantic, the New York Times, and the Boston Globe, will appear on Sunday, November 3, at UCSB’s Campbell Hall. The following interview has been edited for length and clarity.

more than the other? Yes and no. I found both fascinating. Both are deep characters who represent important aspects of the suffrage movement. Carrie Chapman Catt is the protégé of Susan B. Anthony, heir to the mantle of leadership of the movement. She’s a veteran of the struggle, a great strategist, orator, and diplomat. She comes to Nashville reluctantly, but she also knows that her legacy is at risk. Catt is the master of the inside game. She’s no less radical than her more outspoken, take-it-to-the-streets peers like Alice Paul and Sue Shelton White. The dynamic is similar to what we see today when young, fiery, progressive congresswomen challenge Nancy Pelosi. I don’t think the movement would have succeeded without the slow, nuanced achievements of Carrie Catt and her group. I think Carrie Catt’s contribution gets overlooked. She devoted every ounce of energy to the movement.

Can you talk about the tension that existed between the abolitionists and the suffragists? The movement for basic human rights for women grew out of the movement to abolish slavery. They were sibling movements. By the end of the Civil War, many women believed that their time had come. It’s important to remember that in the mid-19th century, women couldn’t Every legal, political, religious, and social own property, have their own savings, machination was deployed against the suf- serve on a jury, testify in court, or file a frage movement.

ELAINE WEISS INTERVIEWED

“Sand into Glass”

Many women, particularly in the South, opposed ratification of the 19th Amendment because they believed that women would be defiled and sullied by political participation. The anti-suffragists saw the vote as an assault on the family and the moral downfall of the nation. They claimed women would abandon their families and that divorce would become rampant. Newspaper articles and broadsides of the time depicted men caring for screaming babies as if it spelled the end of civilization. Anti-suffragists believed women occupied a higher spiritual and moral plane and that just stepping inside a voting booth would harm them forever. Examine arguments against the Equal Rights Amendment and you find similar sentiments. American women have had the right to vote for nearly 100 years, and in 2016, a woman won the popular vote in the presidential election. How do you think Susan B. Anthony, Alice Paul, Carrie Chapman Catt, and Sue Shelton White would feel today? I think they would be perplexed and unhappy that we still wonder if the nation is ready for a female president. I found an article in a major New York newspaper in September 1920 — right after ratification of the 19th Amendment — that made a serious argument that some of the leaders of the suffrage movement had the proven political skills and abilities to run for the White House in 1924! Many other countries have had female heads of state. We like to think we are advanced and progressive, but the United States lagged behind other countries in allowing women to vote. I think the suffragists would be impatient. —Brian Tanguay

NEBULA DANCE PRESENTS KAIROS

Santa Barbara is in the middle of a dance renaissance, and Devyn Duex, the founder of Nebula Dance Lab, is very close to its creative epicenter. On Thursday, November 7, the organization will celebrate its 10th year of existence with a new show at the Lobero featuring a retrospective of the choreographers and dancers the program has championed for the past decade. Pieces by Erin Martinez, Emily Tatomer, Meredith Cabaniss, and Duex will share the bill with works by Montreal-based Edgar Zendejas and Indy Dance award winners Shelby Lynn Joyce and Weslie Ching. Several youth companies will also get a chance to strut their stuff, including PantherDance, State Street Ballet Young Dancers, and Santa Barbara Dance Arts. Under Duex ’s leadership, Nebula has become a haven for collaboration and a home for creativity of all kinds. Like the heavenly phenomenon from which the group takes its name, Nebula radiates forces of its own while at the same time attracting the energy of others. The program’s title, Kairos, is Greek for a time when conditions are right for the accomplishment of some crucial action. After 10 years of continuous calibration to the multiple frequencies on which Santa Barbara’s dance scene vibrates, Nebula appears poised to seize this decisive moment and take us on another 10-year journey of even more breathtaking achievement in the movement arts. The show is Thursday, November 7, at 7 p.m. at the Lobero Theatre (33 E. Canon Perdido St.). Tickets and information can be found at lobero .org or by calling the box office at 963-0761. —Charles Donelan

I understand that your style represents something new in relation to your ancestors. How would you describe what you have personally contributed to flamenco? I have no idea! My grandfather always told me to learn from everyone but never imitate anyone, not even him. And that’s what I do. I dance as I feel, and I don’t let myself get carried away by trends or artistic tendencies of the moment. I just keep working so that when I dance, people know things about me without me having to tell them. In the show that you are presenting on this tour, how do you convey the stories and personalities of your parents and grandparents? Are they with you in spirit? Always. I feel them in my steps. I ask them questions, and they answer me. God knows it’s true.

LEAPING LEGACY: The DTH celebrates its half-century anniversary with a tour stop at The Granada Theatre

DANCE THEATRE OF HARLEM

hen Arthur Mitchell became the first permanent African-American dancer for a major ballet company back in 1955, the American civil rights movement was already beginning to make considerable advancements: OF SHATTERING The U.S. Supreme Court had ruled in favor of BOUNDARIES desegregating all schools across the country, and the infamous Montgomery bus boycott had by Ninette Paloma successfully ended segregation on city buses in Alabama. So when Mitchell learned of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.’s assassination on that fateful evening in 1968, the setback struck him profoundly, galvanizing an idea that had been brewing during his tenure with the New York City Ballet. Over the next few months, Mitchell would leave his position with City Ballet, and, together with his mentor Karl Shook, transform an abandoned garage in Manhattan’s Harlem neighborhood into a classical ballet school and performance company with an emphasis on racial diversity. He called it Dance Theatre of Harlem (DTH), and over the next few decades, he would singlehandedly shift the face of professional ballet across the globe. Here were black Amanda Smith and brown bodies, shapely and lean and expertly restaging some of George Balanchine’s most revered ballets — shattering racial and political boundaries wherever they performed. In 2004, during the company’s debilitating financial crisis, the relevancy of a multiracial ballet company endured, and eight years later, DTH rose from the ashes with founding company member Virginia Johnson at its helm. This season, the company celebrates its 50th anniversary with an international tour, and thanks to the herculean efforts of UCSB Arts & Lectures, will include a stop in Santa Barbara on Wednesday, November 6. The notto-be-missed program will include a restaging of Christopher Wheeldon’s technically driven pas de deux “This Bitter Earth”; a collaborative piece with the Pittsburgh Ballet Theatre and Australian choreographer Stanton Welch titled “Orange”; the tongue-in-cheek “Balamouk” by “Dancing on the Front Porch of Heaven” revered choreographer Annabelle Lopez Ochoa; and one of their newest pieces, the critically acclaimed “Passage” by rising star choreographer Claudia Schreier. Johnson once remarked that Mitchell created DTH “to make people aware of the fact that this beautiful art form actually belongs to and can be done by anyone.” Fifty years later, that message—and the legacy of Mitchell, who passed away last year—carries resounding relevancy.

I walked home slowly. Rain and wind bit into my skin and I held my face up to be slapped by stinging drops. My father was ill and at home that day. Dripping, wordless, I handed him the report. He read it slowly, laid it down on the table and said quietly and firmly: “Next time you will do better.”

And I think of rains in my life: watching small rivers running over window-panes sky split with gaping, golden wounds the shock of thunder, violent, harsh, rumbling softer and farther away, a large dog growling himself to sleep. Then only drops where rivers had been while gutters gurgle and mutter alive with bits of wood and debris. When we lived in the country my father could barely wait for the last cloudburst to end before he headed for the woods. He was a quiet man and I sometimes felt

The day my father died was hot and still with a sky so blue one would swear no cloud was nearer than a week away.

I was intruding on some strange private rite, watching him stop among the trees stare upward, fill his lungs with moist air listen to the tom tom beat of myriad branches sending myriad droplets to the ground.

But the next morning, as Father lay pale and stiff in that dark, closed room all the waters of the world came down.

“Mushrooms are coming up” my father would say and beneath pine needles began the stirring and unfolding, and soon mushroom-scent reached our noses. Unmindful of showers, we pushed aside branches

Birds Exist to Teach Us

Emily Esquivel

Growing up I was always fascinated by the little things. From the way the breeze blew through the trees, to the tiny sugar ants that would crawl up my Band-Aid-littered legs. Childhood innocence gave me the freedom to enjoy all of life’s smallest treasures. But what’s left once life’s taken its toll? The hollowing loss of innocence, maybe? Or the lack of motivation to even get up in the morning? With that, how could anyone take the time to notice the ravens call? I certainly didn’t. It wasn’t until I had reached my lowest, until I felt I had 48

nothing left to lose, that my attention was suddenly pulled towards the playful hops of a group of Mexican Grackles. The funkiest little guys in Dallas. I began praying to be as free and unbothered as them. I became infatuated with the idea of soaring through life without any insecurities. To wake up singing in the morning, grateful for another day, instead of with a grunt and a heavy heart. The more I watched these beautiful creatures, the more inspiration I had to wipe my frown away and replace it with a smile. A new hope, an unfiltered faith in life, was what I was gifted with. A common bird, ones I’d seen my entire life but never really noticed, had suddenly brought a warmth to the cold world I’d been living in. They started a spark that over time become a burning fire, lighting my way through a rough journey full of darkness.

Mother asked me to sit with him for a little. As I came in, I caught a glimpse of myself in the slightly askew mirror a gawky, gangling, pimply fourteen. I sat down and stared at the angular bones of my knees. Knowing I wouldn’t be intruding I touched his waxy hand. I did not then or ever quite figure out how I felt about him, but whenever I am in the woods and the rain is trailing off and the scent of mushrooms begins to seep through the brush I see my father standing there mouthing the savor of earth and sky and the growing things around him allowing me to be there, but never allowing any part of his big, whole person to be chipped away.

Large and In Charge, Chunky Yet Funky, Bold & Beautiful:

I am SONG OF THE SIREN: Soprano Eleni Calenos (left) and Harold Meers star as Cio-Cio-san and Pinkerton, respectively, in Puccini’s masterpiece Madama Butterfly, presented by Opera Santa Barbara.

OPERA SANTA BARBARA MADAMA BUTTERFLY

n 1904, when Giacomo Puccini’s Madama Butterfly premiered at La Scala in Milan, the story it tells, of an unscrupulous American naval lieutenant who marries and then abandons a young Japanese woman, Cio-Cio-san, could have come from the day’s news. More than 100 years later, Madama Butterfly is still going strong as one of the most frequently produced operas of all time. While the exploitation of foreign women by sexist American military officers may be less common today than it was at the turn of the 20th century, the feelings that give life to the music of Madama Butterfly—excitement, confusion, longing, and despair — endure, as do the dilemmas faced by couples whose religious backgrounds force them to make difficult choices. Despite a conspicuous paucity of experience with the actual place, Puccini nevertheless conjured a Nagasaki of the mind in Madama Butterfly that still stands as an emblem of unrequited cross-cultural love. Among the many operas that mourn the tragedy of the sexual double standard, Madama Butterfly takes pride of place. Its bewitching mixture of naïve orientalism and mature Italian passion never grows old. For this production, Opera Santa Barbara (OSB) has assembled an extraordinary team. OSB General and Artistic Director Kostis Protopapas knows this material in his bones, and with soprano Eleni Calenos, he has a Cio-Cio-san that he can stack up against any singer in the world. She wowed us in 2018 as Mimi in OSB’s production of La bohème, and she has had two recent opportunities to deepen her knowledge of Cio-Cio-san, one in this country, and the other at England’s prestigious Glyndebourne Opera Festival. Calenos will be joined by a stellar cast including another singer familiar to OSB audiences, Harold Meers. This world-class tenor adds Pinkerton to his long list of credits here, which stretches back through Manon in 2017 and Carmen in 2016 all the way to March 2006, when he made his Santa Barbara debut in a memorable Gianni Schicchi at the Lobero.

by Charles Donelan Baritone Luis Alejandro Orozco will play Sharpless, the United States Consul who tries —and fails—to temper Pinkerton’s appetite for sensual destruction. It’s in some ways a more interesting role than the lead, because Sharpless has a conscience. Watch for him in Act II, trying to read a letter to Cio-Cio-san informing her that Pinkerton has taken an American wife, and again in Act III, as he rounds out the devastating trio that finally gets this painful point across to her. When Puccini wrote Madama Butterfly, portraying the Japanese characters Goro (Benjamin Brecher) and Bonze (Colin Ramsey) as stereotypes of native superstition was still somehow considered acceptable. Today that’s no longer the case, but that doesn’t mean that these singers won’t enjoy plenty of divine musical moments regardless. Opera Santa Barbara has brought in the highly creative director Octavio Cardenas to give the piece a new look, but without compromising the original historical setting. Cardenas was the director of an outstanding Carmen for OSB in 2016, and this time he has additional design support in the form of new digital projections by Daniel Chapman and original lighting design by Azra KingAbadi. These two artists will make the most of the Granada’s state-of-the-art technical assets. Opera has always been about taking us places that don’t exist, and somehow making them more intensely memorable than reality. Puccini never saw Japan except in his mind’s eye, yet the music he made of this vision lives on.

MÚSICA DE LOS MUERTOS: On Saturday, November 2, Eos (500 Anacapa St.) will celebrate Día de los Muertos with headliners Chicano Batman in a special, day-long event, beginning at 1 p.m. Featuring sets from Los Retros, Kadillac, the Elwoods, and music from Last Resort Forever, it will be an especially enlivening way to honor the memory of departed souls and their remaining presence in our lives. What’s more, it will also be a chance to view and enjoy area art installations, immersive performances, and a tequila tasting. As lineups go, it’s one to die for, as they say. Chicano Batman make excellently funky and soulful music evocative of East L.A. The band’s newest release, Black Lipstick, sizzles with psychedelic organ. Los Retros, a k a Mauri Tapia, is a 19-yearold multi-instrumentalist from Oxnard who has been crafting some of the best indie music of the area code for several years. Drawing influence Chicano Batman from soft rock groups of Latin America, it’s beautiful stuff. Kadillac is a new project featuring members of Glitter Fish; the Elwoods deliver surfy blues rock from Goleta; and Last Resort Forever will be spinning vinyl to get things started on a high note. CHEERS TO VETIVER: Vetiver will kick off an album-release tour at Third Window Brewing (406 E. Haley St., Ste. 3) on Tuesday, November 5. This being the first show on the Up on High album-release tour, it’s set to be a special one. Recorded in a cabin in Joshua Tree, the new songs are sun-soaked with relaxed, back-to-basics strumming, such as on the breezy and lovely “Swaying.” While the previous Vetiver album, Complete Strangers, played with colorful synths, these new songs hint at a return to Vetiver’s folk and folk-rock sound, evoking the aridness of dry California heat. As tourers and collaborators, Vetiver have associated with acts like Joanna Newsom, Devendra Banhart, Vashti Bunyan, and the early 2000s days of freak folk. Led by Andy Cadic, the project continues on as one of the enduring acts of that time. Third Window Brewing, housed in a restored barn and feed mill, shall be a good venue for the sometimes-rustic sounds of Vetiver. Epicureans of ear and palate alike will delight in the mingling of melodies and hazies or dubbels and guest taps of jun, mead, and cider. The show begins at 7 p.m., and it’s free. HALLOWINE THERAPY: Michael Omar and the Electric will play a Halloween show at Santa Barbara Wine Therapy (732 State St.) on Thursday, October 31, at 8 p.m., so best come prepared with a shockingly good costume to befit their electric name. Bringing to mind the lively neon riffs and synth-poprock sounds of The 1975, Omar and company will be sure to lend some cool and danceable music into your All Hallow’s Eve. What’s more, Omar’s music is a hard-fought kind of passion. In March 2018, the then-22-year-old Michael Omar was diagnosed with vestibular neuropathy, a destabilizing and rare condition that kept him at home for much of the time. Not one to be battered down, Omar’s creativity — and vitality—surges through in his work. The band is rounded out by Brad Katz on bass, Andrew Armstrong on drums, and Griffin Soule on guitar, with all providing backing vocals. With good music, good wine, and some hopefully great costumes, it does sound like its own kind of therapy. INDIE ROCKERS UNITE: If you’re out in Goleta on Saturday, November 2, at 7 p.m., head over to the Mercury Lounge (5871 Hollister Ave., Goleta) to see Pet Sympathy and Man Mistress. Pet Sympathy makes interestingly brooding art rock that brings to mind late-period Joy Division or Interpol in its haunting dissonance and minimalist drama. Man Mistress, meanwhile, locates itself on the medium-core spectrum of indie rock and hardcore, a Goldilocks zone of sorts. FOLK SOCIAL: Natalie Gelman will play a show on Sunday, November 3, at the recently opened Pearl Social (131 Anacapa St.). Growing up in New York City’s West Village, Gelman cut her teeth on the city’s subway platforms at the brave age of 16. Now, she calls the calmer realms of Ojai home. Fans of n Natalie Merchant and Jewel will find much to enjoy in her songs.

Deep into the layered folds of Pedro Almodóvar’s atmospheric and powerful new film, a typically stylish and slyly semi-autobiographical entry in the director’s filmography, our aging director protagonist (Antonio Banderas) utters a mantra-like statement: “Cinema saved me.” In his own way, the sensual iconoclast Almodóvar has helped saved cinema. The film is a triumphant late-period, valedictory self-reflection, sometimes evocative of a quieter, gentler variation on Fellini’s artfully navelgazing cinematic tour de force. (JW)

UCSB’S AWESOME AUTUMN OF ATHLETICS COURTESY PHOTOS

PAUL WELLMAN FILE PHOTO

SPORTS JOHN ZANT’S

GAME OF THE WEEK 11/1: High School Football: Santa Barbara at Dos Pueblos The undisputed Channel League championship has been the goal of Santa Barbara (4-0 league, 7-2 overall) since the Dons defeated Lompoc, and they can achieve it Friday night. Dos Pueblos (3-1, 3-6) will try to dispute it and share the title. The Dons are coming off a 53-9 demolition of Cabrillo, in which junior quarterback Deacon Hill threw six touchdown passes, three of them to Jackson Gonzales. The Chargers have won two straight games since junior Trent Jones took over as QB — a 14-12 squeaker over San Marcos and a solid 33-14 victory over Santa Ynez. 7pm. Scott O’Leary Field, 7266 Alameda Ave. $5-$9. Call 968-2541.

S.B. ATHLETIC ROUND TABLE:

ATHLETES OF THE WEEK

WESTMONT SOCCER: Heading into Saturday’s Senior Day games

against Arizona Christian, starting at noon, the Warrior men and women both hold the top spots in the Golden State Athletic Conference standings.

From chair-back seating in the reserved section of the Thunderdome to a lighted baseball diamond at Caesar Uyesaka Stadium, UCSB is trying to bring more fans to Donn Bernstein Gaucho basketball and baseball games. The men’s hoop team, picked to finish second to UC Irvine in the Big West preseason media poll, tips off the season at home next Wednesday night, November 6, against Jackson State. Four days later, the Gauchos play a Sunday afternoon game at UCLA. UCSB baseball boosters were on hand last Saturday at sunset, when the new lights were turned on before a three-inning practice game. The long-awaited improvement will enable more people to watch the Gauchos play on weeknights, especially the Friday contests that open each weekend series. BERNIE: Donn Bernstein was an unforgettable, one-of-a-kind

character, a bombastic sports information director at UCSB from 1964 to 1972, and later a respected ABC Sports media director for NCAA football. The weekend after he died in New York on October 16, at age 83, he was given a shout-out on several national football telecasts. Bernie, as he was known, remained a great friend and supporter of the Gauchos. There will be a celebration of his life at UCSB on Saturday, April 25, 2020, at the annual All-Gaucho Reunion, an event that Bernie regularly attended. All he wanted in the way of a memorial was for his friends to gather at McSorley’s Old Ale House, the iconic New York saloon where Bernie celebrated his milestone birthdays. That I will do next month. Look for my “In Memoriam” at a later date.

COURTESY UCSB

NEW AND IMPROVED:

PAUL WELLMAN

here have been some bumps along the way, but overall it has been a fabulous fall for UCSB athletics. Four Gaucho teams could have a shot at the national playoffs. Men’s soccer coach Tim Vom Steeg said his crew is capable of doing damage in the NCAA tournament, as the Gauchos demonstrated in their 3-3 barnburner against Stanford, but their situation has become precarious. They are stuck in third place in the Big West after a pair of frustrating ties on the road, 1-1 at UC Davis and 0-0 at Cal State Northridge. Davis scored on a wild shot that caromed off a UCSB defender. Freshman forward Finn Ballard McBride responded by punching in his team-leading ninth goal. But without playmakers Rodney Michael (injured knee in a home loss to UC Irvine), Thibault Candia (who went out in the Davis game), and Ameyawu Muntari (muscle strain at CSUN), the Gauchos went scoreless the rest of the week. “We need that one goal,” Vom Steeg said. “That’s where Rodney comes in.” Their defense has held up. UCSB has played six overtime games, four of them ending in deadlocks. Sophomore goalkeeper Ben Roach leads the NCAA in minutes played—1,629 (more than 95 per game) — and has registered nine shutouts. Now, Vom Steeg said, “We need a win at Cal Poly,” not an easy task on a narrow field with over 11,000 fans egging on the Mustangs. Depending on the outcome Saturday night at San Luis Obispo and at other conference matches, the Gauchos could be hosting a Big West quarterfinal match (Nov. 6) or a semifinal match (Nov. 9). The Gaucho women’s soccer team could sew up a berth in the conference tournament this weekend when it concludes the regular season by hosting UC Riverside (7 p.m. Friday) and UC Irvine (2 p.m. Sunday). Senior forward Shaelan Murison scored her second hat trick in a 4-1 win at Hawaii and is tied for fourth in the nation with 16 goals this season. In women’s volleyball, the Gauchos remained tied for first place with Cal Poly after sweeping UC Davis and UC Riverside last week, with senior Lindsey Ruddins cracking a .500 hitting percentage in both matches. They had an 18-2 record with seven matches to play in the regular season. After starting the season on a 16-game winning streak, the Gaucho men’s water polo team suffered five defeats by a total of eight points before downing Long Beach State, 11-10, and Cal, 13-10, in overtime, last weekend. UCSB is still ranked in the nation’s top four.

BIGGEST MAN ON CAMPUS: UCSB “felt the Bern” when Donn Bernstein was the first Gaucho sports information director (left). He later became an ABC Sports executive.

Ty Montgomery, S.B. High football

In a four-set victory over Cal Poly that boosted the Gauchos into a first-place tie, the senior outside hitter was a solid passer while posting 10 kills and a team-high 16 digs.

The sophomore made two field goals (45 and 26 yards) in the fourth quarter to break a 21-21 tie as the Dons defeated Lompoc, 27-21, the Braves’ first league loss in eight years.

(Oct. 20-26) PAUL WELLMAN PHOTOS

MAN ON THE SPOT: Finn Ballard McBride (13), a freshman from Sydney, Australia, has proved to have a nose for the goal by scoring nine times for the Gaucho soccer team.

Siena Urzua, Bishop Diego volleyball

The Cardinals launched their best playoff run since before Urzua, a freshman, was born. She had 27 kills as Bishop outlasted Pacifica Christian in five sets and beat Garey in four.

Udy Loza, Dos Pueblos football

The Chargers rode the senior tailback’s hard running in their 33-14 victory over Santa Ynez. Loza chalked up 167 rushing yards and scored two touchdowns.

CATCHING UP: Marcie’s Mermaids (featured here Sept. 5),

concerned about conditions in the Santa Barbara Channel, chose not to swim a relay from Santa Cruz Island to the mainland but swam a similar distance, 19 miles, along the shore on September 22. Rachel Horn said they raised almost $10,000 for Heal the Ocean in memory of Marcie Kjoller. Hannah Jordan (Oct. 17) continued to excel as a cyclist who has to ride with a liquid feeding tube. She was only female junior to complete the World Hillclimb Championships on Gibraltar Road.

Do you sometimes have a knack for offering just the right gesture at the right time to help people do what they haven’t been able to do under their own power?

It seems as though the universe is my friend and is helping me write, its hand over mine.” Even if you’re not a creative artist, Taurus, I suspect you’ll be offered intense visitations from a muse in the coming days. If you make yourself alert for and receptive to these potential blessings, you’ll feel like you’re being guided and fueled by a higher power. Halloween costume suggestion: your muse.

Anton Chekhov wrote, “If many remedies are prescribed for an illness, you may be certain that the illness has no cure.” Decades later, I wrote, “If you’re frantically trying to heal yourself with a random flurry of half-assed remedies, you’ll never cure what ails you. But if you sit still in a safe place and ask your inner genius to identify the one or two things you need to do to heal, you will find the cure.” Halloween costume suggestion: physician, nurse, shaman, healer.

What was the secret to his success? “If I create from the heart, nearly everything works,” he testified. “If from the head, almost nothing.” Your current assignment, Cancerian, is to authorize your heart to rule everything you do.

says a Pashto proverb. How could it be, right? Each language has a specific structure and a finite vocabulary that limit its power to describe and understand the world. I think the same is true for religion: One is never enough. Why confine yourself to a single set of theories about spiritual matters when more will enable you to enlarge and deepen your perspective? With this in mind, Libra, I invite you to regard November as “One Is Never Enough Month” for you. Assume you need more of everything.
