Gift A

By Leslie Dinaberg

What’s the best Christmas gift you ever received? The worst? AW: The best Christmas gift I ever received was a trip to Disney World, and the worst was a mermaid hairbrush from an ex-boyfriend. The worst part about this brush — other than it was meant for a 5-year-old — was his excitement over how much I was going to love it. What are your plans for Christmas this year? TO: I will be spending the holiday crafting, confronting, cooking, cuddling, chatting, chatting, then cuddling, cavorting, and contemplating my happy life. AW: This year, I am traveling to Mississippi for a big, loud family obligation, and I can’t wait.

CITY

NEWS BRIEFS CITY Five Santa Barbara churches — the Unitarian Society, Trinity Episcopal, First United Methodist, First Presbyterian, and First Congregational — and four other locations across the county opened their doors to homeless individuals in need of shelter from the elements. The Freedom Warming Centers, named after a homeless man who died in his wheelchair due to exposure in December 2009, open when temperatures drop below 35 degrees, or when rain is forecasted for the night. In the S.B. and Carpinteria shelters, the head count Tuesday night was 56. The warming centers are part of a joint initiative by faith communities and homeless advocates. For a countywide list of locations, see independent.com/freedom.

Homeless Czar for S.B.? Council Gets Massive Brain Dump Instead of Showdown over Homeless Housing HOMING IN ON HOUSING: Santa Barbara Alliance for Community Transformation founder Jeff Shaffer told the City Council last Tuesday that each councilmember needs to identify sites in their respective districts where some variant of permanent supportive housing could be developed. by Nick Welsh eff Shaffer doesn’t want to be the city’s homeless czar and doesn’t think any one person should or could be. No one, he said, can juggle the enormity of so much nuanced information in one brain. Likewise, Santa Barbara’s City Council has made a point not to appoint one — or to even create a new homeless commission, as Councilmember Jason Dominguez unsuccessfully pushed for on November 26. Even so, Shaffer could very well find himself the city’s de facto homeless czar. For the past 15 years, Shaffer has been working quietly and effectively on various boots-on-the-ground homeless outreach efforts with little fanfare. In that time, he’s earned the trust of key players in Santa Barbara’s sprawling universe of government bureaucracies and nonprofits that attempt to deal with the issue of homelessness as both their vocation and avocation. To an unusual extent, he’s also built trust with key business interest groups, some of which have lobbied loudly for increased enforcement as the answer. In the past few months, Shaffer—quiet, serious, and intense — has dusted off the nonprofit he created back in 2005, the Santa Barbara Alliance for Community Transformation, or SBACT. Earlier this summer, SBACT got $200,000—half from the City Council and half from the Santa Barbara Foundation—to broker some sort of workable understanding between City Hall, homeless shelter providers, homeless service organizations—about 27 entities in all—and neighborhood residents and activists who in the past 12 months have fiercely resisted two proposals to create permanent supportive housing projects for chronically homeless individuals.

The political uproar that killed the most recent proposal—the Salvation Army’s illfated 14-unit home slated for Alisos Street on the city’s Eastside — gave rise to the council discussion two weeks ago. Given that politically charged background, many in City Hall were leery about the prospects of hosting a public discussion on permanent supportive housing, as Councilmember Dominguez— who compared the Alisos proposal to a toxic dump site — proposed. Councilmember Kristen Sneddon gave Dominguez the second vote needed to force the council discussion, but only after an intense back and forth over the tone and tenor of the discussion. In the end, the council heard a lengthy, wonky, detailed discussion about how the City of Santa Barbara is faring with regard to homelessness. Despite increased public alarm over tents sprouting up on downtown sidewalks and the growing visibility of homeless individuals pushing shopping carts, Santa Barbara homeless numbers have not gone up appreciably in the past two years. Kimberly Albers, director of homeless services for the County of Santa Barbara, gave the council a factoid-rich earful. There are near 900 shelter-bed spaces of various stripes in the city, she stated, and 330 units of permanent supportive housing. About 260 of those, she said, adhere to the newer “housing first” approach. This approach draws considerable concern because chronically homeless individuals are placed in housing whether they commit to sobriety or not. Albers said this approach is much more effective and more expensive than the traditional “housing ready” approach. She cited her experience in Kern County in 2012 tracking the 12 homeless people who placed the greatest demands on the system. With the housing-first approach,

Kern County saw an 87 percent reduction in hospital visits. Councilmember Dominguez expressed doubt there were enough supportive services available to make such an approach work locally, suggesting the emphasis in the future should be on services, not housing units. Albers—a 12-year homeless service provider before being hired by the county—did not budge. “Absolutely both,” she stated, were necessary. Dominguez expressed frustration that no one entity was in charge when it came to the millions of dollars—state, federal, local, and charity—spent annually on homeless services by umpteen agencies. He unsuccessfully pressed his council colleagues to create a new oversight commission that would provide a modicum of accountability and a meaningful venue for public participation. As Councilmember Sneddon noted afterward, Shaffer and SBACT will provide that function in the months ahead, meeting with stakeholders and neighborhood groups. Shaffer did address the council, stating that he looked to City Hall for leadership and land. Each councilmember, he stated, needed to identify sites in their respective districts where some variant of permanent supportive housing could be developed. While at the speaker’s podium, Shaffer took the opportunity to dispel what he described as persistent misperceptions about homeless people. None, he said, are “service resistant,” but rather need to be offered services three to four times a week rather than once or twice a month. And based on the most recent street census, 77 percent of homeless people in Santa Barbara lived in the county before becoming homeless. They are not “transients,” he said, but residents. n

The city and the S.B. Farmers’ Market will hold a meeting 3-4 p.m. at the Faulkner Gallery on 12/7 to listen to suggestions regarding the site of the future Saturday Farmers’ Market. The meeting will take into account comments from the public to gain a better understanding of what makes for an enjoyable farmers’ market experience. The city decided in September to relocate the Farmers’ Market from its 35-year home on Cota Street in order to make room for a new police station. Savoy Wines at 18 West Anapamu Street will close at the end of the year, according to a letter from manager Bob Wesley and owner Paul Shields. Shields, who also owns Savoy Café, opened the shop in June 2017 and enlisted Wesley, a renowned wine retailer who previously ran The Winehound and the beverage department at Lazy Acres. Wesley believes the shop wasn’t able to reach sales targets because it opened shortly before the Thomas Fire and 1/9 Debris Flow, while Shields blames competition from online wine retailers.

COUNTY Santa Barbara MTD announced it’s switching from petroleum diesel to renewable diesel to fuel its fleet of buses. According to a 12/3 MTD press release, the transition will require “no infrastructure changes” in bus parts or gas tanks. Refined from a mix of more than 10 different wastes and residues and various vegetable oils, renewable diesel releases around 80 percent less emissions than its petroleum counterpart, as well as 33 percent fewer fine particulates that can have adverse effects on people with asthma and other respiratory issues. The Cave Fire, which currently measures 3,126 acres, has been 90 percent contained, according to Los Padres Forest Service. The steep and rugged terrain makes creating a complete line around the fire difficult, though 100 percent containment is expected by 12/19. The fire broke out the afternoon of 11/25 in the national forest and burned south toward Santa Barbara and Goleta, prompting mandatory evacuations in the Painted Cave area between East Camino Cielo and Foothill Road and Ontare to Highway 154. The 154, which was closed to through traffic shortly after the fire broke out, was reopened in both directions on Sunday night. The n cause of the fire is still under investigation.

OUT OF THE RED: The Interactive Storm Impact Consideration Map reduces the number of previously identified “red zone” parcels along and below waterways in the Montecito area from 1,472 to 517.

County Remaps ‘Red Zones’

oday, county officials will release an updated map that pinpoints Montecito properties at risk of flooding or debris flows during heavy rainstorms. The new map, called the Interactive Storm Impact Consideration Map and available at ReadySBC.org, dramatically reduces the number of previously identified “red zone” parcels along and below waterways — from 1,472 down to 517. Areas around the Hedgerow, Birnam Wood, and Westmont neighborhoods were all removed. The reduction is mainly thanks to a healthy 80 percent regrowth of vegetation in the mountains above Montecito that were scorched during the Thomas Fire. Six new ring nets, a lower volume of movable soil and rock, and fully cleared debris basins have also mitigated the threat. “The risk is significantly less from recent years,” said Montecito Fire Chief Kevin Taylor. Whereas the 1/9 Debris Flow was categorized as a “catastrophic debris flow,” and the one in 1969 following the Coyote Fire was called a “classic debris flow,” there now exists the potential for downgraded but still dangerous “debris-laden flooding” and “clear flooding,” Taylor explained. What Montecito experienced this February, when a strong storm sent rocks rolling into creek channels and water spilling onto Highway 101, falls in the “debris-laden flooding” cate-

gory. Authorities will remain on the lookout for “high-intensity” storms (those that drop one or more inches of rain per hour) but will also now monitor for “saturation events” (10 or more inches of rain in 3-5 days). Previously, the burnt soil was so water-resistant that saturation wasn’t a concern. Compared to previous versions, the new map is not an evacuation map, Taylor emphasized, and the 0.8 inches/hour rain threshold that had triggered evacuations earlier this year is no longer in effect. Rather, a combination of factors will determine when authorities tell the community to clear out, including the status of the flood control system and creek choke points, as well as the capacity of basins and nets. “It’s no longer a black-and-white determination,” Taylor said. Future evacuations, he went on, may include just one section of Montecito, all of the red zones, or the entire community, “because we’re still in uncharted territory. … No one has forecasted a potential debris flow from a fire scar three years after an event like 1/9.” Taylor and a team of scientists, public safety officials, and flood experts will present this information, and much more, at a community meeting starting at 5:30 p.m. on Thursday at Montecito Union School. The meeting will also be streamed live on Chan—Tyler Hayden nel 20 and on YouTube.

From Beauty Queen to Tax Cheat

former Australian beauty queen and socialite turned developer and Montecito Realtor was sentenced in her home country to 34 months in prison for evading $1.73 million in taxes. Simone Semmens, who appears to have gone by her married name, Simone Halstead, while working out of the Coldwell Banker offices on Coast Village Road, was found guilty on multiple counts of “dishonestly causing loss to the Commonwealth.” According to the Melbourne daily newspaper The Age, Judge Scott Johns said Semmens, 58, had repeatedly ignored advice from accountants and bank staff that she owed taxes on the sales of 10 Australian properties between 2005 and 2011. “You have

your dishonesty but also your stubbornness and intransigence to blame,” he said. Semmens also reneged on payments to contractors and lenders. Semmens’s online profile with Coldwell Banker touts her honesty. “Simone Halstead is a savvy, Santa Barbara real-estate professional,” it reads. “With years of experience on both the selling and buying sides of many, multi-million dollar transactions she works with dedication and integrity.” Her recent listings included a $4 million home on Miramar Avenue and a $6.95 million home on Picacho Lane. A Coldwell representative declined to comment on her sentencing, but said Semmens was stripped of her U.S. Real—TH tor’s license this Tuesday.

McGrath enjoys soaring support in Kentucky and beyond, raising $2.5 million in the 24 hours after she announced. In recent months, Parker said, her polling numbers put her within one percent of McConnell for the seat he has held for 35 years. An analysis of the two candidates’ campaign finances for 2019 by the blog Forward Kentucky saw considerable support for both coming from states like California and New York, and McConnell enjoying $170 million from political action committees compared to McGrath’s $9.7 million. Parker is part of an ad hoc group that includes State Senator Hannah-Beth Jackson, who will emcee the McGrath fundraiser, and hosts Julia Louis-Dreyfus and Brad Hall, as well as prominent Dems Laura Capps and Susan Rose. “There’s really a chance this time for Democrats in the Senate and the White House,” —Jean Yamamura said Parker.

n a race they’re calling second in importance to only the presidential contest, Santa Barbara Democrats are actively supporting Amy McGrath in her bid to unseat Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell. More than 100 people have responded to an invitation to meet her at a fundraiser at the Santa Barbara Club on December 14, with the asking price of admission ranging from $250 to $2,800. “We’ve raised in the high five figures already,” said organizer Tom Parker of progress toward the goal of $100,000 for the Kentucky Democrat, who is neck-and-neck with McConnell in the polls. McGrath — a former fighter pilot who was the first female marine to fly combat missions — faces a senator who’s been the Republican Senate leader since 2006. Considered the canniest of politicians, McConnell has grasped the Senate reins tightly while hewing the Trump line since 2016.

BUSINESS A-BOOMING: This Black Friday was the best in years, according to Paseo Nuevo marketing director Mary Lynn Harms-Romo.

Small Biz Saturday a Success

ver since the Thomas Fire cast a pall over the 2017 holiday season for downtown’s shop owners, they’ve been working hard to build back up and pay off their emergency federal loans, many supported by loyal and new customers, aware of the fire’s disastrous effects. Not all of them made it, but others reported a good start to December. Black Friday 2019 was the best in years, Paseo Nuevo’s marketing director Mary Lynn Harms-Romo reported, even through the afternoon’s rain. “Many retailers reported meeting or exceeding their sales goals for the day,” she said. Among the events to look forward to in December, she added, is the disco party on Thursday at nightfall. At Folio Press & Paperie, Marlene Bucy, who owns the small stationers with her husband, Frank Bucy, said that the Cave Fire had brought it all back. “What we went through gave me such a greater sensitivity to other disasters, like hurricanes in other parts of the country,” she said. Sevilla Square, the block at Gutierrez and State that Folio shares with Chocolate Maya,

D’Angelo’s, and a number of other shops, hosted twice as many people during Small Business Saturday as the year before, she said. With her store full of cards and gifts, “We’ll see what this December holds,” Bucy said. “It’s looking good so far!” Michael Graham agreed. “Business-wise, we’re starting to feel that we’ve rounded the corner,” he said of C’est Cheese, a shop and catering company he runs with his wife, Kathryn Graham. Post-Thomas catering cancellations caused them to close their fledgling restaurant, but they’ve since opened a new housewares niche. At Dune, which many still call the French Press, Julia Mayer, co-owner with husband Todd Stewart, said this year’s special holiday coffee was naturally processed and from Elida Farm in Panama. But what she held to her heart during the holidays were the junior high kids she now saw coming back from college, and “former customers who have moved away but are back to visit. [It’s] ‘the stuff ’ that being a business owner in your hometown is all about.” —JY INDEPENDENT.COM

Still Life of Fish Rolling on Dead Dog

I BUY; THEREFORE, I AM: Iâ€™d like to think Iâ€™m

more than the sum of my algorithms. I say that because the geniuses who curate my Facebook and Google ads have got me seriously down. Gone are the blizzard of pop-up ads relating to erectile dysfunction, replaced instead by new ones extolling the advantages of certain adult diapers. Now Iâ€™m besieged by endless animated ads having to do with the scourge of unwanted belly fat. Not a pretty mirror for all the graying Dorians out there. Even more discouraging, I find my mailbox stuffed monthly with notices from the Neptune Society, explaining itâ€™s never too soon to begin planning for the forever of never. As a member of the â€œpre-deceased,â€? I am told, I should take care of matters when they still qualify as â€œpre-needs,â€? and not impose that burden on my loved onesâ€”you know, the ones who pretend not to notice the ocean of jiggling suet that my algorithm indicates adorns my midriff. In case you missed it, California Attorney General Xavier Becerra sued the Neptune Society this week for high crimes and misdemeanors against the dead and nearly dead. Based on the apocalyptically negative Yelp reviews lodged against the Santa Barbara branch of the Neptune Society, one might think Becerra should have taken this action well before filing any of the more than 100 lawsuits heâ€™s initiated against the Trump administration. Reading the complaint, one gets a picture of dead bodies piling up like so much cord wood in back-alley

coolers while Neptune officials scramble fecklessly to find space in the nearest crematorium. Complaints abound over lengthy delays, surly service, calls not returned, and thank-you notes never delivered. Becerraâ€™s lawsuit is worth reading just for the strained outrage. Neptune charges for services, merchandise, and something called â€œMEM.â€? That, Becerra informs us, stands for â€œMaking Everlasting Memories.â€? Presumably, those are made by spending $442 to buy a 12-inch-long plywood box with a carboard insert into which the dearly departedâ€™s cremains are poured. Or $200 for a five-inchtall picture-frame urn â€”frame made of plastic. As for any romantic notions about dumping your loved oneâ€™s ashes at sea, forget about it. Thatâ€™s an additional $285. The big problem Becerra found is that Neptuneâ€”which pretty much dominates the cremation market â€” shortchanged the pre-paid trust accounts created by pre-need customers to the tune of $100 million. That, in any context, qualifies as real money. Itâ€™s not clear in the lawsuit what Becerra thinks Neptune has done with this loot. But it calls into question what happens when the Tsilver Tsunami types who pre-paid start knocking on Neptuneâ€™s doors, demanding service. Say what you will about Neptuneâ€™s ethics, but its timing is impeccable. It turns out that the life expectancy of the average American has declined now for three years in a row. For the average male, we can expect to live nearly five months fewer than our predecessors. For the average woman, itâ€™s nearly two and a half

months. This decline stands in violent but quiet

contrast with whatâ€™s happening elsewhere in

so-called developed nontotalitarian countries where citizens continue to live longer and longer. According to a new study in the Journal of the American Medical Association, this decline is attributable to so-called diseases of despair â€”suicide, drug overdose, obesity,

and alcoholismâ€”among those occupying the 25- to 64-year-old age bracket. This impulse toward joyless self-obliteration is especially pronounced among the 55- to 64-year-old set. Perhaps the loss of a few months on the tail end of oneâ€™s life doesnâ€™t sound all that alarming. But when you look at the huge progress made in recent decades at reducing the death toll from car crashes, heart attacks, cancer, and AIDS, thatâ€™s a whole lot of new years on longer lives that have been statistically overwhelmed by this self-inflicted death march. Drug overdoses jumped 909 percent from 1999 to 2017 for those in the 55-64 range; suicides increased by 56 percent. These trends hold true for men and women of all ethnic stripes. It falls hardest on those with the least education and the least income. Geographically, it varies. New Hampshire has it the worst â€”no surprise for anyone whoâ€™s ever set foot there. But much of New England suffers. So, too, do the four states sharing the Ohio River Valley. Thereâ€™s something about finding oneself economically irrelevant and redundant in a minimum-wage-gig economy that incites people to take a slow leap off a tall

building. In one county, the authors found, a one percent increase in the unemployment rate correlated to a 3.6 percent jump in opioid deaths. But states with higher minimum-wage laws and earned income tax â€” like California â€” did notably better. Of course, in the United States, access to health care has historically been a function of income. Price has been a significant barrier to care. Even so, the United States spends $10,200 per person on average on health care a year. That is by far the most of any country in the socalled civilized world. Thatâ€™s twice as much as Germany, France, Ireland, and most European counties and $2,000 more than Switzerland, home to the second most expensive health-care system on the planet. The trend with lifespans has been brewing for a while. In the 1980s, we started to seriously lag relative to comparable economies. By 1998, our lifespans numbers were positively third world. Now, we are the only country on the planet moving backward. Not a distinction to brag on. In the meantime, if you must die, go get yourself cremated at Simply Remembered on Calle Laureles. Theyâ€™ll treat you right and charge you only half what Neptune does. Or, if youâ€™re in the market for a sporty, metallicblue coffin â€”okay, it is a little garish and a bit weird for an impulse buy â€” I saw a few by the checkout line at Costco. Theyâ€™re cheaper still. Based on the JAMA report, no Christmas tree would be complete without one. â€”Nick Welsh

Theresa Bartos

9/2/1953 - 11/14/2019

Theresa Bartos died on November 14, 2019 in Santa Barbara — her home of more than three decades — after a long and courageous fight with bladder cancer, having survived breast cancer 26 years earlier. She was 66. Theresa was born on September 2, 1953 to Wilburta and Thron Riggs in Los Angeles, where she grew up with her brothers Thron, John and Bill in Manhattan Beach. Following her own mother’s death from breast cancer in 1961, a stepmother and two stepsisters — Dana and Lauren — would enter the family. As Theresa entered high school, the Riggs family story took another major turn as the family uprooted from Southern California to the Deep South: Pascagoula, Mississippi. Theresa attended the University of Southern Mississippi in Hattiesburg before relocating back to Southern California to attend Pomona College where she graduated magna cum laude with a bachelor’s degree in botany in 1975. That same year, Theresa would meet Chris, a fellow Manhattan Beach-native who was in the midst of building a 38-foot sailboat, called Solstice. In 1978, the pair embarked on a sailing trip that would define the course of their lives: for three years, Chris and Theresa cruised on Solstice in the waters between Mexico, Central America and through the Panama Canal; they would marry in Alajuela, Costa Rica on May 15, 1980. The pair eventually returned stateside and settled in Santa Barbara where they would raise their family. They had two daughters: Leah (1985) and Monica (1988.) In addition to the centrality of family and friends in her life, many people in Santa Barbara will remember Theresa for her commitment to public service in the community. She worked for both the city and county of Santa Barbara in various roles and would find her most ardent passion in the unique educational community of Open Alternative School (OAS), where she first joined as parent-volunteer; she was eventually hired as an employee of the Santa Barbara Unified School District. Theresa served OAS from 1990 until 2018, when she became ill with cancer. (By coincidence, that would be the last year of the school’s operation.) She touched the lives of countless parents and students over the decades, and she met 16

many of the people who would become her closest friends. Theresa is survived by her husband Chris Bartos, daughters Leah Bartos and Monica Bartos, son-in-law Sam Furtner, and Baby Bartos-Furtner on the way. In addition to her three brothers — Thron Riggs, John Riggs, and Bill Riggs — she also leaves behind three sisters-in-law, Jonel Bartos, Holiday Whisennand, Camila Pratt, as well as dozens of nieces and nephews on both sides of the family. A memorial service will be held for Theresa on December 8 — the 58th anniversary of her mother Wilburta’s death. Family and friends will be celebrating Theresa’s life with a posole party, an annual Bartos family holiday tradition which they started the year she first beat cancer.

Erika Jean Bastian

10/12/1990 - 11/29/2019

Erika Jean Bastian, Age 29 died peacefully in her sleep on November 29, 2019. She was beautiful and full of life. A shining soul whose spirit was just too big for this world. If there is anything that we should take from having known Erika is that life is too short not to live in the moment, feel the music in our bones, laugh at the small things, and love without questioning. Erika will be remembered for making the most of what she had. Her absolutely unending energy and liveliness was contagious. She was spontaneous, and crazy in a fantastically wonderful way. It was next to impossible to be in the same room without being blessed by her energy. In her young life, Erika was known to be a fantastic artist. She loved to work out and stay fit and at times did multiple Cross

Fit workouts in a day, then spent the evening dancing away. She loved dogs and thrived working with and around them. She loved music and loved to sing and dance. Erika is preceded in death by her mother Kelley Jean Bastian, and survived by her loving father Greg Bastian, her brother Chad Bastian, grandparents Bev and Ben Torres, Kathy and Bill Boyett, and Anke Bastian, many aunts and uncles, and many cousins. She is and always will be loved by many. We will be honoring Erika’s life with a celebration of life in the Spring, as it was her favorite time of year. Rest in Peace Erika. Heaven definitely gained an angel when you showed up at its gates.

OPINIONS CONT’D

Can You Hear Me Now?

he Cave Fire again revealed major weaknesses in Santa Barbara County’s public communications, surprising after the Montecito mudslide two years ago. The key issues are the apparent lack of coordination between county departments—like fire, sheriff, public works—and the lack of regular updates with a reasonable amount of information in one single cyber-spot. Instead, the information came in bits and pieces from different sources, in different places (Twitter, websites, texts). The Nixle system now in use malfunctioned, sending notifications in Spanish but not English and vice versa. During Monday to Tuesday night, no meaningful updates announced fire status or spread. What is needed is an up-to-date map showing the actual extent of the fire and hot spots, which the L.A. Times seems to have done based on public satellite data. No official update was made on Tuesday for 17 hours! When it came, it was posted to a County Fire Twitter account. Using a private, for-profit platform like Twitter makes little sense — a lot of residents do not use Twitter. The centralized portal of ReadySBC .org is accessible to everyone, and it needs to be utilized as the main aggregation spot for all messages. Also, hourly or bi-hourly updates seem necessary in an emergency. After a full night of rain, a tweet that left us more confused than comforted mentioned fire containment and a demobilization of resources. What did this mean? Were there any debris flows? An hour later, all evacuation orders were lifted without any update on the situation in the field. After writing all this, I believe the county needs a single emergency communication officer, who would collect all updates across all county services and regularly provide information, in plain language, at ReadySBC.org. —Milan Mashanovitch, S.B.

More Facts

n response to Lou Cannon’s letter last week regarding supposed inaccuracies in Supervisor Das Williams’s letter to the Summerland community, Mr. Cannon did not see Das walking the streets of Summerland after the debris flow because Das was trapped at his Carpinteria home until the freeway between Summerland and Carpinteria opened several days later. His staff were also unable to come south to Summerland because the freeway was buried in debris in Montecito. To expect that Das or his staff would be personally on hand would, to say the least, be unreasonable.

PAT BAGLEY, THE SALT LAKE TRIBUNE

Letters

As for water being made available in Summerland: what Das meant was that he had water delivered because Cantwell’s was already closed and there was no local source from which to buy water. I know he had water delivered because I requested it of his chief of staff soon after the debris flow (she was at the office with power; he was at home without). Water was delivered to the post office within hours. The letter to the Summerland community may have been inartfully worded at a few points, but it was not inaccurate. —Lee Heller, Summerland

Cat Canyon Still On

fter decades of fighting to safeguard a healthy environment, the Environmental Defense Center applauded actions announced by Gov. Newsom to catalyze efforts to protect public health and the environment from risky oil extraction. The news came after controversies with the Division of Oil, Gas and Geothermal Resources (DOGGR) and the spill of nearly one million gallons of oil and water in Kern County’s Cymric Oil Field. In response, the state established a moratorium limited to highpressure extraction, strengthening protections near oil facilities, and initiating a review of hydraulic fracturing. The new moratorium is markedly different from Ventura County’s ban on all cyclic steam injection for new and re-drilled wells. Notably, the governor’s moratorium only applies to new extraction wells that utilize high-pressure steam injection, which DOGGR claims restricts the moratorium to only the Cymric, McKittrick, Midway-Sunset, and Orcutt oil fields. EDC and our clients Sierra Club and SBCAN continue the fight against three proposals to drill and operate 760 new wells utilizing steam injection in the Cat Canyon Oil Field, tripling the county’s onshore oil production. These projects will result in spills, generate massive greenhouse gases, and cause irreparable damage to sensitive habitat and native vegetation, endangered wildlife, water quality, and public health. Speak up to tell the county to deny these dangerous proposals!

Your Ganja Gift Guide by Barbara Verde

e’re well into the age of legal cannabis, which means it’s just as legit to gift weed as it is wine. Just make sure your giftee is 21 years of age or older, you buy from licensed dispensaries, and you stick to the one-ounce-per-person limit, which also means you’re not supposed to be toting more than an ounce of gifts to that holiday party. And since mailing cannabis remains a gray area and not even Santa is allowed to cross state lines with legal weed — that goes for places like Colorado and Nevada where it’s legal — it’s best to give these ganja gifts in person.

For Good Times

• Nothing says “silver bells” like the awardwinning Super Silver Haze cannabis strain, grown locally by Glass House Farms. It’s bound to make any cannabis enthusiast feel jolly! (Available at The Farmacy, 128 W. Mission St.; thefarmacysb .com.) • For festive flavor, gift an elixir from Mirth Provisions. Aptly named “Legal,” these concoctions contain 20 grams of THC per bottle. Try festively flavored Sparkling Pomegranate for the holidays. (Available at The Farmacy.) • Give a gift box of cannabis goodness from The Farmacy by filling one of their stylish Woodchuck boxes with gifts like CBD oil, infused gummies, or cannabis pre-rolls. Gift boxes cost $15 and come with festive blue ribbon, and a tree is planted with each purchase. • Even friends and family members who don’t partake in cannabis can benefit from Papa & Barkley 3:1 CBD Releaf Balm (available at Coastal Dispensary, 1019 Chapala St.; coastaldispensary .com). Your grandmother might not be interested in hitting the bong, but her arthritic hands will love this balm. • And for a more interesting topical application of cannabis, give your special someone some Foria Pleasure Lube. It will keep those sparks flying well into 2020. (Available at Coastal.) • Pick up some Day Dreamer Pre-rolls from locally grown and family-owned Autumn Brands. This strain pairs perfectly with cozy winter evenings by the fire. (Available at Coastal.) • Another stand-out hometown brand is Pacific Stone, a great choice for budget-minded gift givers of cannabis flower. Their 805 Glue strain is a fantastic hybrid whose name beams with Central Coast pride. (Available at Coastal.)

For Wellness

Not all cannabis-related gifts actually contain cannabis. Give a nod to your favorite enthusiast with these fun picks that also pair perfectly with the selections above: • Give the gift of Ganja Yoga. Elevate your giftee’s tree pose with the book that covers all you need to know about incorporating weed into your yoga practice. (Available at The Farmacy.) • Nothing’s gonna keep tokin’ toes toasty like these plant-loving socks from Skin Deep that proudly state, “Plants Get Me.” And for the toker with style, a cool stash bag is a must. Originally designed as a bag for pens and pencils, this brightly colored clutch that says “I am high” in bold letters is a cool stash bag just waiting to happen. (3405 State St., skindeepsalon.com.) • Adult coloring books take on new meaning when paired with pakalolo. Delight your loved ones with some high-minded creative gifts they can dive into while indulging, like some fun new coloring books and sundry art supplies from our favorite local art store, Art Essentials (32 E. Victoria St., sbartessentials.com.) • For an elevated treat extraordinaire, gift your peckish cannabis lover the 12-piece flight of truffles from local chocolate maker Twenty-Four Blackbirds (428 E. Haley St., twentyfourblackbirds.com). Their single-origin, ethically sourced chocolate comes with a heaping side of good karma. • Last but not least, save your loved ones from the dreaded fate of being high late at night without warm, delicious, savory, mouthwatering munchies by bestowing upon them a gift certificate from Santa Barbara’s only late-night food delivery service, appropriately named Munchiez. They keep proper stoner hours from 9 p.m. to 3 a.m. (sbmunchiez.com).

BLUEWATER PAIRS SEAFOOD & WINE:

Bluewater Grill is kicking off its 2020 Bluewater Second Tuesday Seafood + Wine Pairings with a January 14 showdown between Europe’s two famous fish stews in which seafoodies will determine which centuries-old dish is best: French bouillabaisse or Italian cioppino. The $45 tasting event features separate bowls of French bouillabaisse, made with saffron and garlic, and a tomato-based Italian cioppino, paired with a glass of French pinot blanc and an Italian red, respectively. The same fish stews can be ordered for the regular menu price throughout January (in fact, the cioppino is always on the menu), and the wines can be added by the glass as well. Bluewater’s monthly tasting events, hosted every second Tuesday, feature seasonal seafood specialty items paired with hand-selected wines or specialty draught beers, as well as commentary from the restaurant’s chefs. Due to the popularity of the monthly tasting events, reservations are strongly advised. See bluewater grill.com. OUTPOST’S NEW BRUNCH: Outpost, the

popular Goleta locale for good eats and drinks in the Goodland Hotel, has revamped their brunch menu, offering an extensive selection of classic brunch dishes and Outpost originals. Highlights of Executive Chef Damien Giliberti’s new menu include: crab croquettes and housecured salmon with dill cream cheese, toasted sourdough, crispy capers, and tomato relish; fried brioche French toast with house hazelnut spread; and short-rib tacos and fritter Benedicts. The menu is available every Saturday and Sunday starting at 8 a.m. See outpostsb.com.

JOYFUL NOISES ENSEMBLE THEATRE COMPANY PRESENTS IT’S A WONDERFUL LIFE: A LIVE RADIO PLAY

4·1·1

“The audience is part of it from the moment you walk in,” said McDonald. The journey begins in the lobby, where a head usher in a 1940s costume greets you. Inside the theater, you find the ambience is that of a vintage live radio broadcast. The actors sign autographs in character before the show, and audience members are encouraged to pose for holiday pictures in designated parts of the period set. The object, said McDonald, is “to create a gathering.” The show itself he described as having “a bit of farce, like in the British pantos,” adding that “from there, we’re shooting for an authentic radio show.” The cast mixes newcomers to the New Vic with veterans of varying degrees. We last saw our George Bailey, Matthew Floyd Miller, in Ensemble’s recent production of Measure for Measure. His love match, Mary Hatch, is played by Hannah Tamminen, who will be making her Santa Barbara debut. Peter Van Norden, Louis Lotorto, and Teri Bibb round out the cast, all of them familiar faces to theatergoers in the region. On Saturday, December 14, the theater will open at 11 a.m. for a Tiny Tots Holiday Concert and Santa Party. After 40 minutes of music and song from the players in Ensemble’s Youth Conservatory, families will have a chance to visit with Santa Claus while consuming cookies and hot chocolate. It’s another way that Ensemble is reaching out to embrace every aspect of the seasonal experience. There will be a 4 p.m. matinee of It’s a Wonderful Life that afternoon following the event. —Charles Donelan DAVID BAZEMORE

ost holiday stories cater to the young. Santa and his squad — Frosty, Rudolph, Mrs. Claus, miscellaneous elves and reindeer — exist expressly for children. The Nutcracker puts the childhood thrill of openting presents under the tree en pointe. Dickens’s famous Carol, for all its dark admonitions, leans in the direction of children’s cartoons. It’s not far from Scrooge to the Grinch. That leaves the great 1946 film It’s a Wonderful Life as an outlier among the holiday classics. The plot pits a decent but flawed adult human being, George Bailey, against the perfidious capitalist Mr. Potter. Their differing approaches to mortgage lending leads to conflict — not ordinarily a topic to inspire fairy tales. But lo! An angel comes, and that makes all the difference. With the arrival of Clarence, It’s a Wonderful Life becomes a Matthew Floyd Miller and Hannah Tamminen Christmas story for adults that also appeals to children, rather than the more common case of the other way around. This holiday season, Ensemble Theatre It’s a Wonderful Life: A Live Radio Play Company is betting that George Bailey’s runs December 5-22, at the Ensemble Theatre Company’s New Vic (33 W. angel-assisted redemption is a miracle that Victoria St.).

AN IRISH CHRISTMAS Santa Barbarans have the chance to experience an amalgamation of Irish storytelling on December 8, when Kerry Irish Productions presents An Irish Christmas at the Lobero. The show comprises vignettes that pay homage to the yuletide holiday through spoken word, song, and dance. The dance portion of the show is led by accomplished Irish step-dancers Caterina Coyne (Riverdance), Tyler Schwartz (Celtic Fyre, Celtic Wings), and Connor Reider (The Chieftains, Celtic Wings). Reider, who has been with the troupe for five years, has been dancing since he was a tot, he recently told me over the phone. By the time he was born, Riverdance had become an international phenomenon. “[My grandmother] got a bootleg copy of Riverdance when I was 2 years old,” Reider recalled. “I couldn’t stop watching it. … I wore that thing out.” Reider took to it so well that he competed until he was a senior in high school, turning pro after college graduation. In the summer of 2015, he joined Busch Gardens’ Celtic Fyre, and by Christmas, he had signed on with Kerry Irish Productions. “It’s just crazy to think I’m going back for my fifth time,” he said of this year’s tour. Be sure to see Reider and his compatriots when An Irish Christmas comes to town Sunday, December 8, 2:30 p.m., at the Lobero Theatre. See lobero.org. —Michelle Drown

SYMPHONY

HOLIDAY POPS CONCERT

Christiane Noll One of the great dividends of attending the many wonderful orchestral performances in Santa Barbara is the opportunity it affords to witness such a wide range of talented conductors. We see and hear the best of the best. For Andy Einhorn, who will be the guest conductor for the Santa Barbara Symphony’s upcoming Holiday Pops concert on Saturday, December 7, that means being the best on Broadway, where he can most frequently be found conducting such shows as the Tony-winning revival of Hello, Dolly! starring Bette Midler. Conducting for Broadway musicals takes specialized skills, and it’s one of the only styles that is not readily available here. It will be exciting to see how Einhorn works with his guest vocalist, Christiane Noll, a Broadway legend in her own right who most recently starred as the grieving mother Cynthia Murphy in the national touring company of the hit musical Dear Evan Hansen. The orchestra will also be joined by two groups of singers from UCSB, the Chamber Choir and the Women’s Chorus. Einhorn said that he “loves putting these holiday programs together,” and that he starts by thinking about “the specific city where it will be performed.” In this case, that means a California Christmas vibe, filtered through Santa Barbara’s storied connection to great film music. With a fun version of The Nutcracker and music from the film The Polar Express, the symphony will showcase its sophistication. Einhorn considers “My Favorite Things” from The Sound of Music to be seasonal enough for inclusion and plans a charming version of that featuring Noll. No babysitters will be necessary on December 7, as listeners of all ages are welcome to experience the thrill of a Broadway style production featuring the breathtaking, powerful sound of our city’s symphony orchestra playing its splendid home hall, the Granada. The Santa Barbara Symphony’s Holiday Pops concert will take place Saturday, December 7, 8 p.m., at The Granada Theatre. See thesymphony.org or call 899-2222. —CD

FROM WOUNDED KNEE TO STANDING ROCK

McKiernan had grown close over the years, who ordered the Aquash hit. Banks was having an affair with Aquash at the time, and he had already been successfully targeted by one confirmed informant for the FBI. An older McKiernan asked an older Banks point-blank on camera what role he had in Aquash’s death. Banks’s insistence that he had nothing to do with it proved singularly unconvincing. Almost as unbelievable were similarly strained on-camera denials by former FBI agent Price. McKiernan has spent the better part of 40 years putting meat on this story’s bones. Little wonder it zigs and zags. How could it not? Wounded Knee, we learn, gave rise to a host of Native American rights laws passed in the 1970s, much in the same fashion so many major environmental laws got passed in the wake of Santa Barbara’s oil spill of 1969. How much difference any of it ultimately made remains dubious. Given the crushing poverty on most reservations, it’s tempting to conclude not much. McKiernan ties the 2016-17 protest at the Standing Rock Indian Reservation — which united a new generation of Native American activists with anti-fracking environmentalists — to Wounded Knee. It feels real, but also forced. More compelling is the story of Willard Carlson, a Yurok elder now in Northern California, whom we first meet telling us how he went to Wounded Knee ready to wage war. His mother we meet as well. When she heard her son’s plans, she explained to McKiernan, she made sure he was properly equipped. In this case, that meant sending him off with eight rifles. It might be funny if they hadn’t been dead serious. Carlson would survive Wounded Knee to return home. There, for the past 25 years, he’s been leading the charge to reestablish the material and spiritual infrastructure to reenergize Yurok culture. McKiernan takes us there and shows us how. As we meet Carlson, it’s easy to understand how McKiernan got sucked into this story. And how he’ll never not be able to tell it.

took place mid-siege. It was held in part to fight off the boredom but also to instill in members of so many disparate tribes a unifying sense of spirituality. A few years later, Aquash would be found dead in a ditch at Wounded Knee. The federal medical examiner quickly concluded she died of exposure. Her hands, bizarrely, would be cut off and sent to the Justice Department for fingerprinting. Two weeks later, a medical examiner hired by Aquash’s family would discover that there was a bullet lodged in Aquash’s skull. The bloody hair, one might have thought, would have been a tip-off. Eventually, Aquash’s murder would be the stuff of multiple grand jury investigations and criminal trials, but many observers — McKiernan included — believed the execution was ordered by AIM leaders who suspected she’d become an FBI informant. McKiernan argues that suspicion was part of a deliberate campaign of disruption and distrust hatched by FBI officials like David Price, with whom we also get significant face time. Price, McKiernan reports, made a point of arresting Aquash multiple times on high-profile charges and then quickly releasing her with no apparent explanation. (By that time, two FBI agents had been killed in a shootout with AIM members. A jury would dismiss charges against two of the three arrested, finding they’d acted in self-defense. The third, Leonard Peltier, would be convicted based on witness testimony that has since been recanted as coerced. He, however, remains behind bars.) McKiernan would come to suspect that it was Dennis Banks, the charismatic AIM leader with whom

MOVIE GUIDE SPECIAL SCREENINGS O Pain and Glory

(113 mins., R)

Deep into the layered folds of Pedro Almodóvar’s atmospheric and powerful new film, a typically stylish and slyly semiautobiographical 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 navel-gazing cinematic tour de force. (JW) Riviera (Sat., Dec. 7, 11:15 a.m.; Sun., Dec. 8, 2 p.m.)

(209 mins., R)

Martin Scorsese’s truly masterful new film is a 3.5-hour epic spanning 40 years in the life of hitman/mobTeamster errand thug Frank Sheeran (Robert De Niro), henchman to Jimmy Hoffa (Al Pacino), in a long lead-up to the Teamster icon’s disappearing act. As with many a Scorsese film, from Raging Bull to Wolf of Wall Street, moments of sensory explosivity and ultra-violence punctuate a morality tale in which internal struggles and even spiritual dimensions are conveyed in a uniquely cinematic way. In this adaptation of Charles Brandt’s memoir, I Heard You Paint Houses, the terms “painting houses” and “it is what it is” take on new, chilling meaning. (JW) Riviera

O Joker

(122 mins., R)

Todd Phillips’s Joker is one of the year’s most jarring and introspective films. As Arthur Fleck (a k a Joker), Joaquin 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 wellbeing. 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) Fiesta 5

Despite an excellent cast that includes Daniel Craig, Chris Evans, Jamie Lee Curtis, Toni Collette, and Lakeith Stanfield, and some clever dialogue, the film falls a bit short in both humor and mystery.

ew occasions can bring people together like a high school football championship game, especially when their community has a deep history in the sport. So it was that the stadium at San Marcos High — in the shadow of hills that had seen fire, rain, and snow in the previous four days — was packed to capacity on a wet Saturday night when the Santa Barbara High Golden Tornado made its 12th appearance in a CIF Southern Section final. It was a showdown between the top-ranked teams in Division 8 — No. 1 Sunny Hills and No. 2 Santa Barbara — and it had everything: long scoring drives (despite the conditions, neither team lost a fumble); lightning touchdown strikes; a goal-line stand that forced a field goal; three lead changes in the fourth quarter; and, with 30 seconds remaining, the outcome literally up in the air. His team trailing 24-21, Golden Tornado quarterback Deacon Hill rifled a pass from the 19-yard line into the middle of the end zone. He had completed such throws many times before, but this time, Sunny Hills defensive back Wilson Cal made an interception to clinch the Lancers’ comeback victory. Update the weather forecast: Heavy tearfall at 9:30 p.m. The next day, Santa Barbara senior receiver Jackson Gonzales reflected on his last prep football game. Win or lose, he said, it was thrilling to be playing in a supercharged atmosphere. “It was probably the most crazy game I’ve ever been in,” he said. “It was so loud. We tried to check plays END OF GOLDEN ROAD: Jackson Gonzales is one of the senior stalwarts who [before the center snap] and could hardly hear.” led Santa Barbara High to the CIF football finals for the first time in 30 years.

FREE WILL ASTROLOGY by Rob Breszny ARIES (Mar. 21-Apr. 19): In composing this oracle, I have called

on the unruly wisdom of Vivienne Westwood. She’s the fashion designer who incorporated the punk aesthetic into mainstream styles. Here are four quotes by her that will be especially suitable for your use in the coming weeks. (1) “I disagree with everything I used to say.” (2) “The only possible effect one can have on the world is through unpopular ideas.” (3) “Intelligence is composed mostly of imagination, insight, and things that have nothing to do with reason.” (4) “I’m attracted to people who are really true to themselves and who are always trying to do something that makes their life more interesting.”

TAURUS (Apr. 20-May 20): “I’m drowning in the things I never

told you.” Famous make-up artist Alexandra Joseph wrote that message to a companion with whom she had a complicated relationship. Are you experiencing a similar sensation, Taurus? If so, I invite you to do something about it! The coming weeks will be a good time to stop drowning. One option is to blurt out to your ally all the feelings and thoughts you’ve been withholding and hiding. A second option is to divulge just some of the feelings and thoughts you’ve been withholding and hiding — and then monitor the results of your partial revelation. A third option is to analyze why you’ve been withholding and hiding. Is it because your ally hasn’t been receptive, or because you’re afraid of being honest? Here’s what I suggest: Start with the third option, then move on to the second.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20): I’ve got some borderline sentimental

poetry to offer you in this horoscope. It may be too mushy for a mentally crisp person like you. You may worry that I’ve fallen under the sway of sappy versions of love rather than the snappy versions I usually favor. But there is a method in my madness: I suspect you need an emotionally suggestive nudge to fully activate your urge to merge; you require a jolt of sweetness to inspire you to go in quest of the love mojo that’s potentially available

to you in abundance. So please allow your heart to be moved by the following passage from poet Rabindranath Tagore: “My soul is alight with your infinitude of stars. Your world has broken upon me like a flood. The flowers of your garden blossom in my body.”

CANCER (June 21-July 22): Try saying this, and notice how it feels:

tasies. You feel no inhibition about envisioning scenes that you may or may not ever carry out in real life. You understand that this free-form play of images is a healing joy, a gift you give yourself. It’s a crafty strategy to make sure you’re not hiding any secrets from yourself. Now is a favorable time to practice this art, Virgo.

LIBRA

“For the next 17 days, I will make ingenious efforts to (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): In accordance with current astrologiinterpret my problems as interesting opportunities that cal omens, here’s your meditation, as articulated by the offer me the chance to liberate myself from my suffer- blogger named Riverselkie: “Let your life be guided by ing and transform myself into the person I aspire to the things that produce the purest secret happiness, become.” Now speak the following with no thought to what that may words and see what thoughts and look like from the outside.

More: yourself. What is poignant to you is ing that my so-called flaws are signs of potential strengths and talents what others will be moved by, too. that I have not yet developed.” Embrace what you love about yourself and the right people will come.”

LEO

(July 23-Aug. 22): An interviewer asked singer/song-

writer Leonard Cohen if he needed to feel bothered and agitated in order to stimulate his creativity. Cohen said no. “When I get up in the morning,” he testified, “my real concern is to discover whether I’m in a state of grace.” Surprised, the interviewer asked, “What do you mean by a state of grace?” Cohen described it as a knack for balance that he called on to ride the chaos around him. He knew he couldn’t fix or banish the chaos — and it would be arrogant to try. His state of grace was more like skiing skillfully down a hill, gliding along the contours of unpredictable terrain. I’m telling you about Cohen’s definition, Leo, because I think that’s the state of grace you should cultivate right now. I bet it will stimulate your creativity in ways that surprise and delight you.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): Poet Juan Felipe Herrera praises the value of making regular efforts to detox our cluttered minds. He says that one of the best methods for accomplishing this cleansing is to daydream. You give yourself permission to indulge in uncensored, unabashed fan-

that you’ve been broken.” (4) “The challenge is not to be perfect. It’s to be whole.” P.S. And what does it mean to be whole? Be respectful toward all your multiple facets, and welcome them into the conversation you have about how to live.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): You can’t escape your past completely.

You can’t loosen its hold on you so thoroughly that it will forever allow you to move with limitless freedom into the future. But you definitely have the power to release yourself from at least a part of your past’s grip. And the coming weeks will be an excellent time to do just that: to pay off a portion of your karmic debt and shed worn-out emotional baggage.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): Aquarian playwright August Strind-

(Oct. 23-Nov. 21): “I swear I became a saint from waiting,” wrote Scorpio poet Odysseus Elytis in his poem “Three Times the Truth.” According to my reading of the astrological omens, you may be in a similar situation. And you’ll be wise to welcome the break in the action and abide calmly in the motionless lull. You’ll experiment with the hypothesis that temporary postponement is best not just for you, but for all concerned.

berg didn’t have much interest in people who “regurgitate what they have learned from books.” He was bored by stories that have been told over and over again — was impatient with propaganda disguised as information and by sentimental platitudes masquerading as sage insights. He craved to hear about the unprecedented secrets of each person’s life: the things they know and feel that no one else knows and feels. He was a student of “the natural history of the human heart.” I bring Strindberg’s perspective to your attention, my dear one-of-a-kind Aquarius, because now is a perfect time for you to fully embody it.

stantly changing,” says Sagittarian actress and activist Jane Fonda. This description may not always be applicable to you, but I think it should be during the coming weeks. You’re primed to thrive on a robust commitment to self-transformation. As you proceed in your holy task, keep in mind this other advice from Fonda. (1) “One part of wisdom is knowing what you don’t need anymore and letting it go.” (2) “It is never too late to master your weaknesses.” (3) “If you allow yourself, you can become stronger in the very places

shadow,” wrote Piscean poet Edna St. Vincent Millay. And yet she indulged profusely in that no-fun activity, and even capitalized on it to create a number of decent, if morose, poems. But in alignment with your astrological omens, Pisces, I’m going to encourage you to fall out of love with shadows. The coming weeks will be an excellent time to channel your passions into solid realities: to focus your ardor and adoration on earthly pleasures and practical concerns and imperfect but interesting people.
