The Indy teamed up with Velo Pro Cyclery in September to roll out our first-ever Back-to-School Bike Giveaway. Alexis Guerrier is the lucky winner from among the dewy Santa Barbara community who competed for the prize. This week, she headed over to Velo Pro and picked out a new, comfy Nirve cruiser, claiming to be a bit of a novice rider. But not for long! She’s ready to pedal along with her boyfriend, who already rides the city’s bike routes regularly. If you missed out on this contest, keep an eye on independent.com for more. We love giving stuff away here at Indy HQ and plan to keep the drawings coming your way.

NEWS of the WEEK

news Briefs
photo OF THE week
law & disorder Two Goleta men were arrested 9/20 for selling 20 pounds of methamphetamine to Sheriff’s Office investigators, following a five-month investigation. Undercover narcotics officers coordinated the sale with Guillermo Rea, 27, and Victor RuvalcabaRomero, 36, on the 5800 block of Calle Real, where they were arrested. The seized meth has an estimated street value of over $729,000. Rea and Ruvalcaba-Romero were booked in County Jail and await arraignment.
city The city took baby steps toward updating its 14-year-old smoking ordinance, which is out of sync with state law, doesn’t address electronic smoking devices or medical marijuana, and is overall far too lenient, according to the American Lung Association. Currently, the only locations where the city prohibits smoking are in outdoor dining areas (except bars and parts of restaurants); in public service areas like bus stops and ATMs; and at multi-unit housing complexes operated by the Housing Authority. The council may consider bans on all outdoor restaurant and bar seating; at beaches, parks, and sports fields; along Stearns Wharf and the harbor; and on sidewalks in the downtown area and other commercial corridors. The city’s Ordinance Committee will be crafting a menu of potential new rules in the coming months, which will then be presented to the entire council for approval.

olice Chief lori luhnow hit the ground running in her first presentation to the City Council this Tuesday, laying out changes she’s already made to the department in her first few months on the job. Luhnow eliminated the deputy chief position and is using the salary savings to pay for two new computer programs: one to track use of force by officers, the other to conduct crime-trend analysis. She also reported that the department, long plagued by staffing short-
ages, is now up to full force and that Santa Barbara City College funds are finally in place to begin the Student Neighborhood Assistance Program, which will crack down on noise offenders. Lastly, Luhnow announced the creation of “Affinity Cards” with photos, short bios, and links to videos of officers who talk about their hobbies, favorite books, and childhood memories so that the public sees them as “part of —Tyler Hayden the community, not an occupying force.”

Troubled oil Company Goes afTer Carbajal
A year and six months after receiving final approval to build his 170-room, $185 million Rosewood Miramar Beach Montecito resort, developer Rick Caruso has scheduled a private groundbreaking ceremony for 10/10, followed by lunch at Lucky’s. Email invitations were issued Monday afternoon and came soon after Caruso’s Los Angeles development firm sent letters to Montecito residents announcing a targeted opening for summer 2018. That rough target was pushed back from the hard April 30, 2018, date Caruso originally promised for the Miramar’s grand opening party. Read more at independent.com.
Greka Wants to Explore Reports of ‘Improper Political Influence’ by Nick Welsh VI Cat Canyon, the environmentally troubled and much sanctioned oil and gas company formerly known as Greka, served a subpoena on Santa Barbara County Supervisor Salud Carbajal late Friday afternoon, demanding that Carbajal make himself available for deposition October 14. HVI attorney Robert O’Brien explained he’s seeking to determine what involvement Carbajal may have had in instigating the multimillion-dollar state and federal lawsuits now proceeding against Greka for a multitude of leaks, spills, and other industrial accidents at its Santa Maria facilities between 2005 and 2010. O’Brien stated he’s heard from several witnesses — one a deposed government official — that Carbajal, now running for Congress as a Democrat, had made certain statements that raise questions about the degree of his “involvement in the present case.” Those accounts, O’Brien said, made him wonder,“Was there any improper political influence in the case being brought against Greka?” O’Brien declined to provide any elaboration as to what he’d heard from the various

witnesses or what would constitute improper political influence by an elected official. “I’m not going to get into any of those issues,” he said. “We’re interested in determining what the facts are. We want to get Mr. Carbajal’s side of the story.”
Between 2005 and 2010, Greka amassed such a tarnished record when it came to oil spills and leaks that the county supervisors voted 4-0 to pass a habitual-offender ordinance allowing Santa Barbara to exact higher penalties from industrial polluters with records of chronic violations. Greka would ultimately agree to pay the County of Santa Barbara $2 million in administrative sanctions in 2011. Prior to that, Carbajal had been especially outspoken about the oil company’s blemished safety record. Then-assemblymember Pedro Nava was equally public in his outrage against Greka, holding hearings of his own to detail the company’s extensive history of environmental violations and the regulatory gaps that allowed this to occur. Nava has likewise been targeted by O’Brien for deposition. Efforts to contact Nava were not successful, but Carbajal press spokesperson Tess Whittlesey stated,“This looks politically motivated.” She noted that former Greka CEO Randeep Grewal and his wife, Nadia, each donated $5,400 — the maximum legally allowed — to the congressional campaign of Carbajal’s Republican opponent, Justin Fareed.
Gold’s Gym is back in Santa Barbara’s workout world. New owners Angel and Willy Baños are taking over three Bay Clubs that were once Spectrum Athletic up until about a year ago, and Gold’s — under different owners — before that. The upper State, Carrillo Street, and Calle Real gyms will transition over the next two months, with reps on hand to talk about memberships. The Baños brothers, who opened their first Gold’s in North Hollywood in 1987, plan to renovate locker rooms, add new flooring, and create new group fitness programs. They stated membership prices will stay the same.
Humanitarian assistance agency Direct Relief broke ground on 9/29 for a new 155,000-squarefoot facility. Formerly airport property purchased in August from the City of Santa Barbara for $8.7 million, the 7.99 acres will triple the space available

Vectus Laser Hair Removal
early 700 students, teachers, and community members responded to a Santa Barbara City College (SBCC) survey launched in July by President Anthony Beebe on his first day at work. The results are in and—while predictable in many respects and lacking proper scientific structure—have helped Beebe gain a greater understanding of the college’s strengths and weaknesses, both real and perceived. As a Santa Barbara newcomer, Beebe wasn’t historically privy to SBCC housing and parking issues, both of which, he said, have since pinged more substantially on his community-relations radar. He has also paid particular attention to the mistaken perception that the college’s student body has been ever-expanding, when in fact enrollment overall has dropped since the Great Recession.“I got some good feedback,” he said. As far as takeaways go, Beebe said the college “needs to do a better job in terms of communicating with the community.” In that respect, he’s working with Director of Communications Luz Reyes-Martin to expand outreach intentionally and more proactively through newsletters and social media, for example. Beebe added that the college is exploring more noncredit programs for the community; its current offerings include a range of fee-free classes, from its adult high school diploma program and English as a Second Language to — Keith Hamm international business and computer network engineering.
Most importantly, Vectus Hair Removal is quicker than other hair removal treatments—it treats more surface areas in less time and requires fewer number of treatments. Schedule an appointment for a free consult today!

“After photo’s shows results after one treatment”
Toes tapped and hairs on the backs of necks remained standing for a full hour 10/4 as the elegant musical language of Duke Ellington filled Granada Theatre for 1,400 6th graders from two dozen South Coast schools. “Ellington was the most important composer in all of jazz,” Wynton Marsalis (pictured above) told the kids as his Jazz at Lincoln Center Orchestra paid homage, breaking down the “hot style,”“sweet style,” stride piano, and New Orleans influence that Ellington wove together, starting in the 1920s. Brought to town by the Children’s Creative Project and UCSB Arts & Lectures, Marsalis impressed upon the schoolkids Ellington’s lifelong “desire to learn” and his self-styled status as “the world’s greatest listener.” Public middle and high schools in California must develop suicide prevention, intervention, and follow-up policy per legislation signed into law late last month. Policymakers hope the law will save lives; suicide is the second-leading cause of death among 10- to 24-year-olds. Policies will specifically target at-risk groups, such as disabled, mentally ill, homeless, LGBTQ, and students struggling with substance abuse.

environment Legislation aiming to properly cap seeping oil wells contaminating California beaches — most notably Summerland’s Becker Well — was vetoed by Governor Jerry Brown, who instead directed “the Department of Conservation to work with the State Lands Commission to develop an inventory of legacy oil and gas wells … to determine the oil seepage locations, rates and environmental impacts,” he wrote. In his veto of SB 900 — authored by Sen. Hannah-Beth Jackson — Brown emphasized that the proposed legislation would have tapped the state’s general fund. According to the Lands Commission, the inventory will build on actions already taken to remediate the Becker Well, including funding for capping.
election In the last quarter, 3rd District supervisorial candidates Bruce Porter and Joan Hartmann both raised about $150,000. As of 9/24, Hartmann had $73,891 cash on hand; Porter has $53,620. But those figures do not include the $33,500 Porter has raised since, including large checks from seven people (among them developer Michael Towbes and vineyard owner Kevin Gleason) and $15,000 from the Deputy Sheriffs’ Association (which has donated $40,000 total). In the past week, Hartmann received $1,500 in reportable contributions from the electrical workers union. Two chapters of labor union SEIU have also given $70,000 to Hartmann, whereas an independent expenditure funded by oil companies raised $60,000 for Porter. n

ne Tuesday night in August, Angel Flores dropped off his fiancée, Leslie Salazar, on Carillo Street 20 minutes before he sped 94 miles an hour down Cliff Drive, slamming his 1997 Lexus sedan into a curb, fire hydrant, and tree trunk. Flores and two friends in the backseat—Daniella Hearn, 19, and her boyfriend Ben Rubio, 28—died at the scene. Michael Mendoza, who is 29, barely survived. (Mendoza and Flores were wearing seatbelts; Hearn and Rubio were not.) Mendoza did not know the others in the car very well.“I am always walking around town,” he said. He would run into Hearn downtown; he had met Flores once before. He cannot remember why he was driving around with them that night. “I don’t remember the stay at the hospital,” he added. “I don’t remember people coming to see me.

NEWS of the WEEK cont’d biTes and barks over CounTy animal serviCes
Presenting the world’s finest classical artists since 1919
Last week, a pit bull bit a county employee in the neck at the Santa Barbara animal shelter. The employee recovered quickly; the dog, which had previously been deemed unadoptable, was euthanized. The employee has returned to work, but the matter briefly arose Tuesday at the Board of Supervisors meeting, which included an update about the county’s Animal Services program, long fraught with contention. The attack highlighted vitriol between county staff and rescue group volunteers — associated with BUNS (Bunnies Urgently Needing Shelter), ASAP (Animal Shelter Assistance Program), and DAWG (Dog Adoption & Welfare Group), among others — that long have supported the department. In an effort to improve the department, the county supervisors last year hired an independent firm to audit Animal Services. In February, the study recommended, among many things,“The practice of the County Government allowing volunteers to exert undue influence over euthanasia decisions must stop.” But passionate volunteers continue to play a significant role in the discussions. On Tuesday, volunteers associated with the aforementioned nonprofit groups contended the department wastes money and lacks efficiency, even though the supervisors funded four new positions in June. Specifically, critics called for the immediate establishment of an independent commission and to set a time-certain date to finalize their contracts, now in draft form. Supervisor Peter Adam — a conservative supervisor who owns Adam Brothers Family Farm with his two siblings — empathized with the nonprofit members, calling the county “just incredibly slow. But I think we have some good things going on; you have to wait for them to bear fruit.” One volunteer shot back: “The thing about animals is they don’t wait. As we are here, there are animals suffering in our shelter.” Jan Glick, director of Animal Services, reported a 19 percent decrease in animals taken in to the three county shelters from 2013-2016; that included an increase in animals redeemed by owners and a decrease in euthanizations. Some of the contracts are scheduled to be completed in January. Next spring, the department will consider establishing a commission. — Kelsey Brugger
Carbajal stated he was still working with County Counsel Mike Ghizzoni to determine his options to respond. Ghizzoni confirmed the subpoena had been served after 5 p.m. on September 30, adding he was seeking to make contact with O’Brien to determine what information he sought and how it might be provided. Whittlesey denied Carbajal exerted “any undue influence outside his role as supervisor and had no contact with the EPA on the issue.” Likewise, she denied Carbajal had any role in the current litigation against Greka/HVI Cat Canyon. The federal EPA and California Fish and Wildlife sued Greka for multiple millions of dollars for cleanup costs and penalties accrued for at least 17 industrial pollution incidents that took place at Greka’s Santa Maria facilities. In those incidents, Greka oil and oil-contaminated water got into nearby creeks that funnel into the Santa Maria River, which empties into the ocean, which in turn is defined under the Clean Water Act as a “navigable waterway.” Greka’s contamination of a “navigable waterway” is the legal tool giving the feds authority to sue. In voluminous legal documents, Greka’s O’Brien has argued that because more than half the alleged spills involved dry creek beds, no “navigable waterways” were impacted. On that theory, he argued, more than half the government’s cases should be dismissed. Last Friday, U.S. District Court Judge Fernando Olguin rejected Greka’s arguments, explaining,“The existence of a stream, creek or water course is not compromised by the intermittent nature of its water flow.” Fareed’s campaign spokesperson Christiana Purves said she needed more time to digest the information but said she found it “interesting” that Carbajal would be primed and ready to suggest “political motivations”

so soon after the subpoena was served.When asked about Fareed’s policy for accepting money from oil companies — especially those like Greka with such troubled environmental histories — Purves stated, “Justin didn’t know the CEO of Greka as the head of an oil company; he knew him as the owner of a winery in Santa Maria.” Further, Purves said in a prepared statement, “This is the first we’ve heard of the legal issue, as it was brought to our attention on Tuesday by The Santa Barbara Independent. Therefore, we have no further comment and trust it will be resolved in the court of law.” For Carbajal, being singled out by the most notorious oil company in Santa Barbara County constitutes an enviable political windfall. That Fareed had received a substantial donation from its chief executive makes it doubly so. O’Brien waved off any suggestion that the timing of the subpoena was politically motivated. “I’m not aware of any of those issues,” he stated. The case, O’Brien said, is scheduled to go to trial next June, and the deadline for discovery is fast approaching. The time available to depose Carbajal, he said, is exceedingly limited.“We just want to n find out the facts,” he said.

Great Growth, Bad Vibes Goleta’s Challenges Has Five Council Contenders Competing to Solve Them by Jean Yamamura • photos by Paul Wellman
T
he bulky constructions rising along Hollister are only the most visible of Goleta’s issues that have led to the first challengers to City Council in years. From among five candidates, only two will gain seats on a council soon to decide a number of proposed developments, including 500 residential units and almost 200,000 square feet of commercial building. In a flashback to the 1970s water wars, fomented by overdrafting of Goleta’s aquifers, not everyone thinks such growth is a good idea. Several candidates cite a Grimm’s fairy tale of “village” projects —Westar/Hollister Village, The Village at Los Carneros, and Old Town Village— as examples of what they see as the present council’s willingness to change zoning on Goleta’s General Plan to allow growth. The plan was finalized in 2006 after a long community process. Changing the zoning, critics charge, upset the carefully thought-out balance. The seven projects currently under construction will produce 737 residential units, 138 hotel rooms, and 304,000 square feet of various commercial uses. Nine more projects that are approved but have yet to break ground will create 364 residences, 118 hotel rooms, one church, and 146,000 square feet of commercial space. Among those will be 70 affordable homes at The Village at Los Carneros to be built with People’s Self-Help Housing. Only 17 more affordable homes are proposed. Another concern for all the candidates is the Revenue Neutrality Agreement, in which the new city of Goleta agreed to compensate the county for its lost revenue—now 50 percent of the city’s property tax and 30 percent of its sales tax in perpetuity. This amounted to more than 20 percent of the city’s budget of $23 million last year. Here’s a snapshot of the candidates who want to make it all work: Tony Vallejo, the only incumbent running, wants to revitalize Old Town Goleta by reducing the number of cars parked along Hollister so that a bike lane could be placed on one side of the street. He hopes offering free parking in side-street lots will facilitate this. Vallejo, a CPA with business clients in Old Town, was chair of Goleta’s Chamber of Commerce when he was appointed to the council in 2014.“Parking is a big deal,” he said, because it keeps people from using Old Town’s restaurants and stores. On the subject of development: “We’ve had a lot of growth, and we need to do a good job of adjusting to that growth,” he said, and “stick to the General Plan unless there’s a really good reason.” One good reason, he feels, is Old Town Village. The project places 175 townhouses on 12 acres behind Goleta’s community center. Originally zoned for a hotel/convention center in the General Plan, it passed on a 3-2 vote. Councilmembers Michael Bennett and Paula Perotte voted no. Vallejo explained that his “yes” vote for the project saved water— water a hotel would increase use.
Kyle Richards proposes a growth-management ordinance to control “overdevelopment in the city,” similar to those in Montecito and Santa Barbara. “Goleta has a strong agricultural history, and that feeling is being lost,” he said. Richards, who has worked for UCSB’s Academic Senate as a policy analyst for 19 years, said he rides his bike to the university from his home in Old Town. He views the zoning change for Old Town Village as a disservice to the long community effort on the General Plan. Richards has the support of a lengthy list of Santa Barbara environmentalists and Democrats, as well as the Goodland Coalition. Richards has chaired the city’s Parks and Recreation Commission and has sat on its board since its inception in 2013. “This election is about our future,” he said,“one that places more value on the quality of life than the quantity of development.” Stuart Kasdin experiences the result of Goleta’s development daily — he lives near the Westar/Hollister Village project — and misses the mountain views. “There’s a whole list of criteria the city could be using. They don’t have to approve projects on the scale we currently see.” He’s also concerned that growth is outstripping the city’s ability to provide vital items like water, libraries, public safety, and recreation. Kasdin would know. He served three presidents while on staff at the White House’s Office of Management and Budget, overseeing budgets for agriculture, forestry, and conservation programs. Kasdin earned a PhD in political science from UCSB in 2009. He has also garnered a long list of slow-growth and environmentalists’ endorsements. Though Kasdin believes Goleta is fiscally sound, he thinks changing zoning to earn developer fees is unwise. The Old Town Village decision, for instance, was “egregious,” especially coming as it did the same month Stage III water conservation went into effect. When it came to amending the General Plan to accommodate developers, Kasdin said,“The city should not put its finger on the scale.” Aaron Swaney has been on a city council before. In Tunis, Iraq, where he was a first lieutenant in the U.S. Army, Swaney was a nonvoting member of a council composed of Sunni and Shia sheikhs. His work there included fixing and building a water-treatment plant and tower— tower twice; the first one was bombed. He has every expectation that Goleta’s City Council will not be as vitriolic as the one in Tunis.
Where’s the Money FroM? Tony Vallejo received $10,000 from the Goleta Chamber of Commerce, $5,000 from gas station titan John Price, $2,500 from Camino Real Marketplace, $1,500 from Crepac-CAR (California Association of Realtors PAC), and $1,600 from the Towbes Group. About three dozen individuals donated hundreds, among them Councilmember Roger Aceves’s political fund, Councilmember Michael Bennett, water district candidate Jean Blois, rental mogul Ron Wolfe, and former sheriff Jim Thomas. Kyle Richards received $7,000 from Richard Whited, $1,000 from bus driver Eric Waldo, $1,000 from Democratic Women of S.B. County, and hundreds from about eight citizens, among them Councilmember Paula Perotte’s election fund, former mayor Margaret Connell, and Planning Commissioner Cecilia Brown. Aaron Swaney is the only other candidate who reported any campaign fundraising as of September 29, loaning himself $1,000 and getting the same from H. Hampton Bell. Vallejo reported a total of $28,653 raised, including a $6,600 personal loan, and spent $4,670, most of it to campaign consultant Rincon Strategies. Richards has raised $11,090 and spent $155.
Swaney sits on the city’s Design Review Board and cast the only vote against the Old Town Village project. “At this pace,” Swaney said, “I see a town that is not going to be recognizable, and we’re not going to have any water to drink.” One solution to the latter, he said, is to work with Goleta’s water and sanitary districts to expand recycled-water use. Swaney, who runs S.B. Printer with his wife in Old Town and at UCSB, believes his experiences qualify him for a tough job. “I learned the hard way that ‘might does not make right,’” he said. “I will have no reservations about voting ‘no.’ ” Dave Haws is as hometown as it gets, born at Goleta Valley Hospital in 1975 and raised in Santa Barbara. After he moved back to Goleta in 2010, he observed,“Wow! This development is out of control,” and he is running to get the General Plan revised to preserve the city’s “beautiful and quiet coastal” feel. Equally important to Haws, who is a real estate agent and broker, is terminating Goleta’s Revenue Neutrality Agreement, and he’s willing to go to court to regain what’s been lost to the “illegal agreement.” He also wants to expand water sources by having the city work with UCSB on a desalination venture and look into a pipeline for Goleta straight from the State Water Project. “If you live in Southern California, you might have years of n water, but another drought will come,” Haws said.

Jacob was born in Santa Barbara on October 2nd, 1986, to Lisa and Kevin Franks. Jacob occupied a special place in the family as both the youngest of five children and the only boy. While Jacob’s sisters, Rhondi, Nicole, Shawna and Marisa, were not exactly prepared for a little brother, they did their best, even if it meant using Jacob to play dress up. Jacob loved and adored his sisters and grew to be their protector. Jacob was raised in Goleta and attended Kellogg Elementary, Goleta Valley Junior High and Dos Pueblos High School. Jacob’s brilliant blue eyes shone with life when he smiled and his presence could light up a room.

Jerry was a ministry and army brat, following his parents through towns and states across the country as his father developed a Baptist ministry and served as an Army Chaplain during World War Two. A good part of his youth was spent in Kansas where he spent most summers working on his uncles’ farms. He went to Redlands College where he met Dodie, the love of his life and they were married on June 12, 1951. Jerry went on to earn a Masters in Speech Therapy at the University of Denver, served as an ensign in the Navy during the Korean War and completed a PhD. in Psychology at UCLA in 1962. Jerry is perhaps best know for his 50 years of Psychology and Family Counseling in Santa Barbara. He moved his young family to Goleta in 1963 and went to work at the County Mental Health Hospital. A few years later he established what would become a life long partnership with another psychologist, Norm Jacobs and they went into private practice. Jerry was truly a prince among men. He helped hundreds of men and women through life and relationship crises. In his caring and compassionate way, he believed in the power of forgiveness to help people understand their history while finding a way forward. In retirement he took on the role of counselor to many graduate psychology students at UCSB. Family was always the center of Jerry’s life. He and Dodie bought a cabin on Lake Almanor when their children were very young and made it a haven for family and friends for many years. After the loss of their son, Gary, Jerry and Dodie established a scholarship with the Santa Barbara Scholarship Foundation and have served on the selection committee for the Foundation for several years. Jerry also served on the Board of the Foundation. The Whites are members of the

She was born on November 16, 1954, in Santa Barbara to Mary and Gene Forssell. She was the youngest of three children. Nancy married Angelo Salvucci, M.D. in 1989. They had two children, Oryx and Lia Salvucci. As a family, they traveled to many different countries visiting museums and gardens, historic architecture, and experiencing other cultures and cuisines. A lifetime resident of Santa Barbara, Nancy grew up in Mission Canyon surrounded by majestic oaks, old stonewalls and the Santa Barbara Mission. Inspired by Santa Barbara’s natural beauty, Nancy’s interests led her to volunteer at Lotusland and serve on the Board of Directors at Casa del Herrero. Nancy established Garden Lane, an estate touring company showcasing local architects, interior designers and landscape architects’ projects. She was Home and Garden editor for many local magazines. In 2004, Nancy founded her own online publication, SB Digs, a popular Santa Barbara lifestyle magazine.

love your mom.” I’ve heard it a thousand times. My mother was Joan Magruder, who died reluctantly of cancer at Serenity House on September 24. If you knew Joan, it was probably in her role as director of news and public relations at UCSB for 27 years. Or maybe you live in Carpinteria, where Joan’s grandmother moved in 1929 and where Joan raised her family since the early ’70s. You might know Joan from one of the many local businesses she loyally patronized. Or maybe you know Joan because she saved you. Joan mentored, sheltered, advised, and supported countless people, whether tentative young professional women or children in need. Joan was a fairy godmother writ large. She championed the underdogs, befriended the friendless, and helped the helpless. And she didn’t do it through politics or just through charitable giving. Joan’s style was to take personal ownership of other people’s troubles and help directly. Joan bought an American Girl doll named Molly. She wanted to support the company, which made dolls of varying ethnicities. Like Joan, Molly grew up during WWII, wore glasses and braids, and loved books. Joan asked her daughter, Jody, to find a girl for Molly. Jody found a bespectacled, braided bookworm 7-year-old, and Joan sent her the whole set (doll, clothes, books). The girl and her doll became inseparable. Santa Barbara’s fairy godmother strikes again. Joan was a woman of contrasts. She entered a room like a blonde hurricane and could hijack any party with her gregarious wit. She was loud and bold. Her high-voltage smile radiated warmth like the sun. In private, Joan spent her time reading, taking walks on the beach, or cooking amazing meals. On her birthday, she often treated herself to a solo trip to the Mexican marketplace on Olvera Street and the Los Angeles Public Library. Joan was fearless in the face of authority, especially when defending others. But this was the bravery of a lioness protecting her cubs. She was, in fact, haunted by fears: claustrophobia, fear of flying, fear of crowds. She prevailed despite it all — the true measure of courage. Joan was a California girl par excellence. Born in Whittier, California, in 1939 as Joan Oliver, she lived in Southern California nearly all her life. The daughter of California’s first female lifeguard, Joan grew up in the sun and sea. Blonde, beautiful, and athletic, she was a cheerleader at Canoga Park High School and rode in a 1957 parade as Queen of the Reseda Round-Up. Joan lived in Las Vegas for a few years. She danced in an Ann-Margret show and dated a cowboy who gave her a horse. She also ran a teen center in a black neighborhood during a period of racial tension and was the only white person there. One day Sammy Davis Jr. was touring the center and stopped in his tracks when he saw her. He jokingly asked Joan which side she would be on if a race war

broke out, and she said: “If I’m at work when it happens, you can count on me. But if I’m at home, I don’t know any of you!” Joan was semi-aquatic. In her twenties and thirties, she worked as a lifeguard, taught swimming, and coached synchronized swimming. She taught her children to swim before they could walk. She loved water, and she took every chance to walk on the beach or soak in her backyard hot tub. Later, she worked in media, first as a news writer and assignment editor at KEYT, and then later reporting on camera. She interviewed Ronald Reagan. At UCSB’s Office of Public Information, Joan mastered the art of taking dry or arcane academic subject matter and uncovering its relevance and meaning for the public. Joan wielded a kind of soft power, an influence born of a thousand close, personal relationships. She contributed massively to UCSB’s rising reputation. Chancellor Henry Yang told Joan’s family that the campus flag at UCSB would be lowered to half-staff in her honor on Wednesday, October 5. Joan loved libraries and local bookstores, and she bought books at Chaucer’s just to donate them to the library. (Chaucer’s sent a copy of Shakespeare and Company signed by all the employees to Joan’s family “as a tribute to her love of books.”) Joan turned her Carpinteria home into a summer camp for her nine grandchildren, with fun, beach, movies, and ice cream on the agenda, with an occasional trip to Disneyland. “Your grandmother spoils you too much,” the owner of Linden Home Video laughingly told two of her grandsons as they picked movies and left without paying. (It all went on Joan’s hefty summer tab.) Joan said that when her time came, she would not go peacefully. In the last few years, she found true happiness and had no interest in the acceptance of her own mortality. She just wanted to live. And she fought for every last breath. If you knew my mom, you probably loved her. And she probably loved you, too. In lieu of flowers, please give to St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital.

hank you, Beach City, thank you for all you’ve brought to the Mesa! In particular, we’ve been admiring the artwork adorning the perimeter of the grounds. The graffiti really adds texture and emotion to the smashed bottles of Hennessy, beer bottles, and trash hurled onto Loma Alta. Surely the proposed doubling of the amount of students living there can only brighten and enlighten the surrounding environment. It was so drab and dull on the Mesa before “The BC” and, frankly, almost sterile without the nightly parties, fights, drag racing on Cliff, motorcycle accidents, ambulances, and throngs of party-goers of every country who wind their way up and down Coronel and Loma Alta to that “other” neighborhood. Just go to the bathroom in the bushes, break into cars, and steal more bikes because you know everyone does it everywhere anyway. The bars are so lame for closing at 2 a.m., so we’re stoked the kids have somewhere to go to party and be safe until 5. We also appreciate the hillside Techno Pool Parties that run until 4 a.m. that remind us so much of the fun we had at Señor Frog’s. Gotta love those fireworks — no waiting for the Fourth of July around here. (Was that a gun? No? An M-80!) So scream louder, kids. Scream until your voices are heard and your rights to party are approved by the Santa Barbara council and funded by St. George to get this party really started. There are no grown-ups here at all, so Beach City is the place to go if you want a super— Jason Coltrin, S.B. fun college experience.

ompoc has a pristine gem. It’s called Jalama. For the past 10 years, this gem has been tarnished. Its natural oak trees are being removed, put into boxes, sold to the rich. This is being done through loopholes. It produces excessive grading and, in the past, flooding that jeopardizes property and safety. Even though this operation is destroying property, the county supports it. My supervisor, Salud Carbajal, has been aware of this problem for years; he also supports this operation.

This operation would never be allowed on the Gaviota Coast. It’s being allowed because some refer to Lompoc in a negative way, as the isolated armpit of the county. Contact your supervisor.

e have lived downtown for almost 15 years. The occasional RV had parked on our street, but then something changed. First a huge mobile home showed up every weekend, and then another rotated between our block and the next every three days. Before we knew it, five RVs parked on our street! The city told us RVs may park in the same place for three days; the county does not allow it. Neighbor after neighbor started complaining, but it’s gotten worse. Countless RVs live full-time on our streets, and a constant flow of Cruise America tourists and luxury campers park right in front of our homes. The word is out — you can park pretty much anywhere in S.B. for days with no penalty. These makeshift mobilehome parks are not acceptable. Santa Barbara has a lot of resources for those who need help or are visiting, but until RV owners are forced to rent a space or find a permanent home, there is no — Suzanne Cohen, S.B. reason to move.

Election Endorsements 2016
Part One
Here is the first installment of The Independent Independent’s 2016 Election Endorsements. During the next week, we will be publishing endorsements for other races both online and in print. As always, we urge you to vote, whether you agree with us or not.
President:
Hillary Clinton
dispensed by the court majority prior to the death of Antonin Scalia, this is a historic opportunity — it cannot be squandered. The consequences of a Supreme Court defined by the likes of Donald Trump simply beggar the imagination. Over the past years, the nation as a whole has been forced to confront anew the profound chasm of racial mistrust. After 30 years of destructive, unjust, and economically unsustainable law-and-order policies, the pendulum is finally swinging the other direction. To an uncommon degree, Clinton gets it. She will use the authority of office to pursue new paradigms for community policing. By contrast, Trump has systematically availed himself of the code speak of racial hate. Trump’s outrages are too numerous to list. By now the whole world knows most of them: his attacks on Mexican immigrants, his promises to marginalize all Muslims, his idiotic idea to build a wall, his nakedly racist “birther” charge against President Barack Obama, his misogynistic attacks on women, and his refusal to repudiate the support of well-known white supremacists. These are not the comments of someone pushing back against the constraints of “political correctness.” These are the remarks of an amoral man who will do or say anything to gain attention and to hear the lusty cheers of his supporters. Consider his stunning remark that he would have had sex with his daughter were she not his daughter. How creepy and disturbing is that? And based on his performance at the first presidential debate, and his subsequent frantic tweeting against a beauty queen, we must seriously consider whether he is mentally competent to hold any public office. Can we, the American voters, take a chance of unloosing such a person on the world? How much risk should we take just to shake up the political establishment? The community of nations, already volatile enough, can ill afford the violence and instability Trump would inflict. And neither can our country. Above and beyond policy details and political rhetoric, this year’s presidential contest is fundamentally a referendum for the soul of a troubled nation. With Donald Trump, the choice is hate. With Hilln ary Clinton, the choice is hope.

ever before has the choice confronting American voters been so perilous. On paper, the outcome should seem obvious. In Hillary Clinton, we have one of the most supremely qualified and thoroughly prepared candidates ever to run for the nation’s highest public office. She served as secretary of state, New York’s senator, and First Lady. By contrast, we have in Donald Trump a candidate whose life history betrays no pretense at public service and whose private accomplishments were achieved chiefly by fraud, deceit, and white-collared thuggery. For reasons both real and exaggerated, however, we recognize some of our readers are less than enamored of Clinton. Whatever your misgivings, think of all the human suffering that will unfold if Trump — an explosive genius for self-idolatry and hate — becomes the most powerful man in the world. And this could truly happen. Believe it. We understand that Hillary Clinton, with her long history in the public eye, leaves a record that is not perfect. She has made mistakes. But such considerations should not obscure essential realities. In Hillary Clinton we have a timetested, seasoned political leader of phenomenal strength and determination who has relentlessly pushed to expand the protective touch of health care. She has been an unwavering champion for women’s equality and reproductive rights. And from her earliest years she has worked to expand civil rights for all. Contrary to popular political folklore, these struggles for human equality are not “settled” but remain vulnerable and incomplete. In the Democratic primary, Senator Bernie Sanders succeeded in improving some of Secretary Clinton’s ideas for reform. Let’s not disregard this. As an inveterate policy wonk, a quick study, and moderate pragmatist, Clinton’s already put forward detailed plans to increase child care for working families and the desperately needed student-loan reforms to shield those who would otherwise be shackled by burdensome debt. Whoever wins this election will pick at least two new Supreme Court justices, thus defining fundamental legal and human values for decades to come. Given the depressingly retrograde rulings

Congress:
Salud Carbajal
E
xperience counts and knowledge matters, but most important is performance. Judging by any of these standards, Salud Carbajal is by far the best and most obvious choice in the race for the 24th Congressional District. For the past 12 years, Carbajal has served as 1st District county supervisor on the Santa Barbara board. For 12 years prior to that, he was an administrative assistant to his predecessor, Supervisor Naomi Schwartz. In this time, Carbajal — a moderate, liberal democrat — has matured, amassing such an exemplary record for constituent services that no candidate, from the left or right, has ever opposed him for his seat on the board. He is uncommonly accessible and knowledgeable about the issues. No one in the County Administration building works harder. Most candidates nowadays promise to reach across the aisle. Few understand just how tough that can be. And even fewer have had any real, long-term experience doing it, especially in this new normal of partisan gridlock. Salud Carbajal is the exception. He has proved over and over that he possesses a rare ability to craft solutions to problems acceptable to both parties. One really toxic dispute that comes to mind was the battle over the Botanic Garden’s expansion plans. Through Carbajal’s efforts, an amicable solution was reached when none seemed possible. Supervisor Carbajal, who attended UCSB, was the first in his family to graduate from a four-year college, served as a United States Marine, and has been a solid vote for coastal protection against oil development and for stronger air-quality standards in response to climate change. Less dramatic, but just as important, has been his inventive initiatives in mending the county’s fraying safety net. In one example, he succeeded in getting the board to agree to use tobacco-tax money to pay for health insurance for uninsured children in the county. Carbajal supports strong immigration reform, not the disgraced bracero program of the last century, and is a strong advocate for gun-registration background checks. Carbajal’s life trajectory infuses his political values. Born in Mexico, Carbajal immigrated to the United States with his family as a young boy — first to Arizona, where his father worked in the mines, and then to Oxnard, where the whole family worked in the fields. When still in Arizona, his older sister committed suicide. Carbajal, then in grade school, was in the next room. That experience seared in him an abiding interest in mentalhealth reform. By contrast, Carbajal’s opponent, Republican Justin Fareed, has had no meaningful experience in the district he presumes to represent. Fareed’s campaign apparently rests on two factors: He excelled in high school football, and he worked as a legislative assistant for 15 months with conservative Republican Kentucky congressmember Ed Whitfield, a recently disgraced politician strongly backed by the coal and pharmaceutical industries. How these experiences will do anything to help the rest of us living in the 24th Congressional District is anybody’s guess. We do know he has accepted large donations from murky sources, supports Donald Trump, and has a temperament with a low threshold for political disagreement. He is a local boy, however, with pleasant manners who grew up in Montecito, where his father is a highly respected surgeon and his mother is one of the region’s premier real estate agents. Until running for this office, he has worked for his parents’ successful medical-supply business. Perhaps in the years to come he will gain experience working in local elections and volunteering in the community. But he is definitely not ready for Washington, D.C. Fareed promises he will bring a physical vigor and intensity to Congress with “fresh” ideas and “fresh” energy. But it’s not always clear just what he’s saying when he tries to explain his positions on issues. Nor is it clear why he should garner serious consideration given his complete lack of applicable experience. Fareed’s promises are too meager for our troubled times. They are in no way a substitute for experience, knowledge, and — above n all — performance. Those are the qualities we find in Supervisor Salud Carbajal.

Santa Barbara Debut
3rd District:
Joan Hartmann
O
f all the races in the County of Santa Barbara this November, the race for the 3rd Supervisorial District will have the most direct impact, even for people living outside district boundaries. The 3rd District, which encompasses everything from Guadalupe to Isla Vista, has traditionally carried the key decisive swing vote at the board of supervisors; which way blows the 3rd, blows the county. In other words, it’s for all the marbles. This year, the race pits two Santa Ynez Valley residents—Joan Hartmann and Bruce Porter — against one another. Both moved here about 15 years ago from places elsewhere; both are relative newcomers to the political scene, having lived full, productive, and impressive lives; and both jumped into local civic engagement about eight years ago. Of the two, we enthusiastically recommend Joan Hartmann. Her history of civic involvement, environmental knowledge, and measure-twice-cut-once temperament equip her to respond creatively and effectively to the challenges confronting county government. We’re confident Hartmann can mesh well into a new moderate, environmentally minded board majority on the county supervisors along with two-term supervisor Janet Wolf and supervisorial newcomer Das Williams. While Hartmann is notably more soft-spoken than these other two, she’s nobody’s pushover and will not be overwhelmed by either their vehemence or volume. Before moving to the valley, Hartmann taught public policy and environmental studies at Oberlin College and Claremont Graduate University. She worked a stint with the Environmental Protection Agency before focusing on wetlands recovery, an important issue in Santa Barbara. For three years, Hartmann served on the County Planning Commission, where she impressed observers with not just how hard she prepared but how precisely—and with such little grandstanding—she posed questions. On the issues, we know Hartmann will leave few stones unearthed to protect the Gaviota Coast, keeping it one of the most ridiculously beautiful spots on the planet. She’s already conversant with the key parts of development proposals, ownership histories, and growth management options. Even before she was a commissioner, she led the 2008 charge to limit growth and development sprawl outside the Buellton urban limits. Her opponent, Bruce Porter, is less specific about preserving the Gaviota Coast and definitely less informed about development issues. That’s understandable, given that he wasn’t a planning commissioner, but concerning nonetheless. Of more concern, Porter is backed by individuals who fought Hartmann’s growth-containment initiative in 2008. On the issue of oil development, the candidates pose stark differences. Hartmann’s threshold of safety for any new oil facility would be exceptionally rigorous. Hartmann has expressed grave concern throughout the campaign about the risks from steam-injection technologies on subsurface water supplies. As county planner, she voted for tougher standards on air-quality emissions allowed by new onshore oil developments. By contrast, a political action committee created by oil companies to get Porter elected has raised $60,000 on Porter’s behalf. Porter has insisted that oil produced under Santa Barbara’s strict environmental regulations is more socially responsible than imported oil from nations without such regulations. Also troubling is his campaign’s efforts to limit UCSB students from registering to vote. We know Hartmann wants the job. We also know she’ll work like a fiend once she gets it. And we believe she’ll figure out a way to work well with her fellow supervisors — even n those on the other side — once she’s there. We urge a vote for Joan Hartmann.

ew growth and development have exploded throughout the Goleta Valley in the past six years in no time since the 1970s, and residents — accustomed to the politics of cruise control — are now grabbing for the wheel. “What happened to the mountain views? Aren’t we in a drought? Where’s the water coming from?” These are all very good questions. The Santa Barbara Independent always worried that cityhood would accelerate the impetus for growth; the easiest way to provide basic services is to generate revenue through development. It’s called zoning for dollars. This tendency was greatly exacerbated by the horrible financial deal Goleta city founders made with Santa Barbara County in order to gain cityhood. That may all be water under the bridge, but when there’s nothing left in the dam, it’s cause for serious pause. The two candidates pushing the pause button hardest are Stuart Kasdin and Kyle Richards, who we think would bring some necessary balance to a government body otherwise too quick to say yes to developers and too slow to impose conditions designed to protect the environment and ensure affordability. Kasdin and Richards bring years of knowledge and engagement, not to mention professional and governmental chops that would vastly expand and improve the scope of public discussion. n
Measures Measures E and F (New Community Services District for Isla Vista) • Yes and Yes
V
ery little of the neglect visited upon Isla Vista by the powers that be over the past 40 years can be remotely construed as benign. That’s why we support Measures E and F, which would create a new community services district for Isla Vista and endow it with an operating budget of half a million bucks. This may lack the rhetorical flourish — and political punch — of actual cityhood, but it’s a necessary step in the direction of local control. When 23,000 people find themselves crammed into overpopulated, overpriced, and conspicuously under-maintained rental units — all shoehorned into a one-square mile—some vehicle for self-determination is crucial. County government is not designed to handle such intensely urban needs, and the Isla Vista Recreation & Park District — despite heroic efforts — is not constituted to fill the breach. We don’t pretend the creation of this new district will tame Isla Vista’s wild spirit, nor would we want it to. Many of the 23,000 are, after all, young adults living away from home for the first time; steam needs to be vent. But many are confronting grueling academic, economic, and social pressures, and something more tangible than good intentions is needed to ensure that limited public resources are put where Isla Vista most needs them. When well-meaning bureaucrats —either county planners or UCSB administrators—concoct some cure for what they think ails Isla Vista, Isla Vistans need a microphone to speak their own truths. Measures E and F do just that. The funding, we should stress, is both exceedingly modest and equitable. Revenues are derived from a surcharge on utility bills, meaning everyone pays a tiny stipend — $5-$10 a month — not just property owners. Technically speaking, this is not a tax despite claims to the contrary by opponents. Lastly, if voters approve E and F, the university had pledged to kick in $200,000 a year for at least seven years. Admittedly, this is a paltry sum, but like n Measures E and F, it’s a necessary start.

endorsements Measure D (Santa Barbara Marijuana Control Act) • Yes Whether marijuana tax revenues become the yellow brick road to fiscal stability, as some of its advocates insist, has yet to be determined. But clearly there’s a lot of green to be made. The City of Santa Barbara already has a plan to allow up to three medical marijuana dispensaries. Measure D would tax the proceeds to the tune of 20 percent. Cigarettes, by comparison, are taxed at 52 percent per pack and booze at 27 percent per serving. Clearly, Measure D is aiming at the big bucks to be generated if and when recreational pot use — in the form of this year’s Proposition 64 — is legalized. With Measure D, the City of Santa Barbara can transition its new tax scheme to apply to whatever plan it adopts in response to Prop. 64. If approved, the City Council can lower the pot tax, but not raise it without additional voter approval. The revenues generated will ensure safe access for medical pot users and provide the resources for City Hall to respond to recreational pot legalization. Backing Measure D is a coalition of individuals who decidedly did not see eye to eye on medicinal marijuana dispensaries: Mayor Helene Schneider, Councilmember Randy Rowse, former school superintendent David Cash, and Parks and Rec Commissioner Lesley Wiscomb. If they can support Measure D, you should, too.

The Armory
Measures I and J (Santa Barbara School Bond Measures)
• Yes and Yes
As corny as it sounds, Measure I constitutes a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for Santa Barbarans. It would set aside $20 million to purchase the 4.7-acre National Guard property located squarely in the middle of downtown Santa Barbara between the Santa Barbara high and junior high schools. This may not quite qualify as the Holy Grail, but it offers the school district and the whole community unprecedented possibilities for both indoor and outdoor recreational facilities. We get only one bite at this apple, so vote yes. When the California Department of Defense agreed to sell a number of armories, State Assemblymember Das Williams scrambled fast and got Governor Jerry Brown to sign a bill giving S.B. Unified School District first dibs. Measure I is a $135 million bond designed to provide infrastructure maintenance and upgrade funding for the district’s five junior high schools and four high schools — $20 million of which is for the armory. Whether that’s enough will depend on what the appraisers eventually determine. Likewise, it remains uncertain what kind of environmental time bombs — underground storage tanks, for example — might need to be remediated. If it costs more than the $20 million, then the school board will pass. Let’s hope that doesn’t happen. Santa Barbara’s need for field space is growing. The armory itself contains a fabulous, if vintage, auditorium and basketball court. The outdoor acreage could be transformed into many new fields. The possibilities are truly endless, and the opportunities to squabble well nigh infinite. For us to get there, we need to approve Measure I. So do it. And let’s not forget Measure J, which will help upgrade many of the dilapidated elementary schools. Maintaining the sprawling infrastructure of any urban-scaled school system is a bit like painting the San Francisco Bay Bridge; the work is never over, especially when you take into account the costs of building repairs and the high-tech needs of modern education. To this end, the Santa Barbara School District is asking for voters’ support for two school bonds — both I and J — which, combined, would raise $193 million in bond revenues to be used for addressing the physical plant needs for 22 campuses. That money would be paid back out via a bump in property taxes roughly equivalent to $25 for every $100,000 of assessed value. For a $1 million home, that’s an additional $250 a year in property taxes. And you can use the basketball court at the old armory.

Ballot Initiatives Prop. 51 (School Bonds. Funding for K-12 School and Community College Facilities)
Vote with your conscience, laugh with your gut!
• Yes
Santa Barbara Debut
Prop. 51 authorizes the sale of $9 billion in bonds to build new schools and to maintain existing ones. Public schools face a staggering backlog of infrastructure needs, and the piggy bank is almost empty. Typically, these propositions are written by the legislature and governor; this one wasn’t. In fact Governor Jerry Brown has opposed it. Instead, it was written by a coalition of homebuilders and construction companies that already spent $10 million supporting it. It’s not perfect, but necessary.
An Evening of Stand-up with
Marc Maron The Too Real Tour Fri, Oct 21 / 8 PM UCSB Campbell Hall
Prop. 52 (Medi-Cal Hospital Fee Program) • Yes In 2009, the state legislature crafted a tricky funding maneuver in which the state exacted money from California hospitals and used those proceeds to leverage double funding from the feds, funding that, in turn, is used to underwrite the treatment of low-income patients. Prop. 52 would indefinitely extend this bigticket machination. Under the current formula, state hospitals — both public and private — will contribute $4.6 billion. In exchange, the feds will make available $8.1 billion. Even with the inflated fees charged by hospitals, that’s a lot of poor people served. Prop. 53 (Statewide Approval for Revenue Bonds over $2 Billion) • No Prop. 53 would require voter approval for the sale of any state-issued revenue bonds in excess of $2 billion. The elephant hiding under the carpet of this good-government measure is Governor Jerry Brown’s massively ambitious twin tunnels project to transport Northern California river water into cavernous tunnels underneath the Bay Delta and onto the parched consumers of the south. No one knows how much this project will cost, but it will be massive. Water agencies that tap into the State Water Project will be on the hook but will have no vote. Yet though we share the concerns of Central Valley farmer Dean Cortopassi, who put Prop. 53 on the ballot, we think that California’s infrastructure needs are so gargantuan that it’s not smart to hobble the procurement process now. Ballot-box budgeting, while sometimes necessary, always has unexpected repercussions. Prop. 54 (Legislature. Legislation and Proceedings Initiative) • Yes This qualifies as one of the rare good-government reforms that make tons of sense. Prop. 54 amends the state constitution to require all bills that are to be voted on by the entire legislature to be published at least 72 hours in advance. Many bills are drastically amended seconds prior to a vote. Prop. 54 would prevent this practice. In addition, Prop. 54 requires all legislative meetings be recorded, posted on the Internet, and saved for 20 years. This bill is the brainchild of Republican rainmaker Charles Munger Jr. — who has spent $10 million to get it passed — so naturally, the Democratic Party and the California Labor Federation oppose it. But vote yes anyway. Prop. 55 (Tax Extension to Fund Education and Health Care) • Yes In 2012, California voters approved Prop. 30 — at the behest of Governor Jerry Brown — which temporarily raised income taxes on state residents earning more than $250,000 a year to get California state government over the hump of the recession. That tax increase is slated to expire in 2018. Prop. 55 would extend that tax increase until 2030, capturing anywhere from $4 billion to $9 billion a year until then. Half of that would go to schools and community colleges, up to $2 billion a year to Medi-Cal funding, and up to $1.5 billion to pay off existing debt. As a political salve, the sales-tax increase that had been included in Prop. 30 will not be extended, so sales taxes should drop by a quarter percent at the year’s end. If Prop. 55 does not pass, the state legislature will have to cut school and health-program budgets by billions of dollars. In this context, Prop. 55 might not be the ideal way to run a railroad, but it will keep state finances on track.

Prop. 56 (Cigarette Tax to Fund Health Care, Tobacco Use Prevention, Research, and Law Enforcement) • Yes If passed, Prop. 56 would tax every pack of cigarettes sold in California by $2 more. It’s estimated that will generate up to $1.4 billion more a year, to finance health care, cancer research, and smoking prevention. The cigarette industry has already raised $56 million to argue this tax is objectionably regressive. Really? Smoking contributes to 40,000 deaths a year in California alone. Other states charge as much as a $4.35 tax per pack. Currently, California’s tax is only 87 cents. That’s so low that the state is all but subsidizing smoking. This is a no-brainer. Prop. 57 (Criminal Sentences. Parole. Juvenile Criminal Proceedings and Sentencing) • Yes Governor Jerry Brown is spending millions of the campaign funds he raised in previous years to make sure Prop. 57 passes, and for good reason. Brown is hoping to undo — on his way out the door — some of the damage he inflicted during his first stint as governor 40 years ago when he embraced many of the get-tough-on-crime measures that made California’s prisons system so dangerously overcrowded. Currently, county district attorneys get to decide whether to charge juveniles as adults. Prop. 57 would let juvenile court judges determine that. Also, the measure will give nonviolent offenders in state prison an opportunity to earn time off for good behavior. This doesn’t guarantee anybody gets out, just that they have the opportunity to earn it. This would affect more than 30,000 inmates already in state prison and an additional 7,500 entering state facilities each year. Prop. 57, we are confident, would enhance the quality of justice now dispensed throughout California’s criminal justice system.

Prop. 59 (Corporations. Political Spending. Federal Constitutional Protections) • Yes For those outraged when the Supreme Court allowed corporations — and labor unions — to give as much money as they wanted to political campaigns under the guise of constitutionally protected free speech in the now infamous Citizens United v. Federal Election Commission ruling of 2010, Prop. 59 is the perfect feel-good-do-nothing antidote. If passed, Prop. 59 will urge California elected officials to use their authority to amend the constitution to overturn Citizens United. Clearly, the impact of Citizens United — and all the PACs and super PACs it begat — has been deleterious in the extreme. But other than letting off steam, it’s fanciful to imagine Prop. 59 having any effect. To get change, we recommend voting for Hillary Clinton, who has made clear she will nominate to the Supreme Court only jurists opposed to Citizens United. In the meantime, vote for Prop. 59.

Prop. 58 (English Proficiency. Multilingual Education) • Yes In 1998, California all but banned bilingual education, requiring that the state’s large population of English-language learners be taught primarily in English. Deviations from this approach were allowed, but only after individual proposals navigated a convoluted series of hoops at the statewide level. This measure recognizes that this one-size-fits-all approach may not be best suited for all 1.4 million Englishlanguage learners — 22 percent of the total student population — now attending California public schools. Prop. 58 would foster more flexibility by returning authority to approve individual innovative efforts — such as the dual-language approach offered at Adelante Charter School — to the local level. That’s where it should be. Vote yes on 58.

endorsements Prop. 60 (Adult Films. Condoms. Health Requirements) • Yes Really, it’s come to this, a ballot initiative on regulating whether porn actors must wear condoms? The answer, obviously, is yes. Prop. 60 is on the ballot because the porn industry fled Los Angeles County when the supervisors there enacted a condom requirement on porn performers for health and safety reasons. Those health concerns are real. The porn industry says its customers, who spend $9 billion yearly on their products, don’t like condoms. By making this requirement statewide, Prop. 60 puts the porn industry on notice that there’s no place to hide — at least in California. Prop. 61 (State Prescription Drug Purchases. Pricing Standards) • Yes Prop. 61 illustrates yet again that for the big pharmaceutical companies, there’s no low to which they will not stoop to protect income stream. To date, the industry has contributed $90 million to stop a measure that will have, at most, a modest impact on its bottom line. Prop. 61, pushed by the AIDS Healthcare Foundation, would not allow any California state agency to pay more for prescription drugs than the lowest price paid by the Department of Veterans Affairs. How much this will save state agencies is hard to say. For those buying prescription medications via private insurance plans, the measure will have no direct impact. Normally, we don’t endorse initiatives based on the organizations opposing them. In this case, however, we think an exception needs to be made for the pharmaceutical industry, with its history of price gouging. Prop. 62 (Death Penalty) • Yes Prop. 66 (Death Penalty. Procedures) • No This is tricky, so pay close attention. There are two initiatives on the ballot that would drastically change the way the death penalty is carried out in California. The first one — Prop. 62 — would abolish capital punishment entirely. Anyone sentenced to death in the past or convicted of a capital crime in the future would be sentenced to life without the possibility of parole. The other one — Prop. 66 — would shorten the appeals process, increasing the likelihood of wrongful executions. We strongly support Prop. 62 — which would repeal the death penalty — and oppose Prop. 66 — which would accelerate it. Capital punishment serves no deterrent value. It takes around 25 years, at least, before anyone sentenced to death is executed. Since 1978, only 13 inmates have been executed at a cost of about $380 million each. Speeding things up by reducing the time for appeal, however, is a false solution; it increases the odds that the factually innocent or wrongly convicted will be executed. Prop. 63 (Firearms. Ammunition Sales) • Yes We firmly believe in the Second Amendment and the right to bear arms. The Second Amendment doesn’t say anything, however, about the unrestricted right to buy firearms capable of shooting 120 rounds a minute or ammunition clips capable of holding off a small militia. California already requires background checks for people buying guns; Prop. 63, written by Lt. Governor Gavin Newsom, will require the same for people buying ammo. It also bans outright the sale of large-capacity ammunition clips — the clips that allowed the tragedies at Sandy Hook, Columbine,

endorsements San Bernardino, and so many more. And when a state with 39 million people makes a bold, powerful political statement like Prop. 63, a strong message is sent to other states where the elected officials might not be nearly so bold or powerful when it comes to gun violence.
Prop. 64 (Marijuana Legalization) • Yes The fact is pot makes most people more boring than they already are, but that doesn’t mean they should be locked up for using it. Sanity, it appears, is at last on the horizon. Four states have already legalized the recreational use of pot, and this November, California and eight other states are looking to do the same. Under Prop. 64, adults 21 years and older would be allowed to grow six plants at home and possess up to an ounce. How that pot gets into the hands of customers will be up to cities and counties to determine, regulate, and tax. Statewide, it’s estimated Prop. 64 will generate $1 billion a year in tax revenues alone. In the meantime, the state is passing strict regulations as to how pot must be cultivated and transported. Prop. 64 leaves unresolved the thorny question of federal laws, which idiotically equate marijuana with dangerous drugs such as heroin. If a state as large as California joins the fray, sanity might finally arrive in Washington, D.C. Send a strong message; vote yes.

Prop. 65 (Carryout Bags. Charges.) • No Prop. 67 (Ban On Single-Use Plastic Bags Referendum) • Yes Both these measures are on the ballot thanks to the plastic bag industry and their lobby. Predictably, they’re crafty and confusing. Two years ago, Governor Jerry Brown signed a law banning single-use plastic statewide unifying the 122 ordinances passed by California cities and counties. One city was Santa Barbara. The planet may not have been saved overnight, but people did show they could and would change their personal habits and that greater environmental virtues existed beyond the short-term convenience of shoppers. The statewide ban signed by Brown needs to be ratified by the voters in the form of Prop. 67, and we strongly urge you to do so. Truly, it’s the least we can do. Prop. 65 is a thinly disguised effort by the plastic bag industry to exact revenge on the grocery lobby for supporting the plastic bag ban in the first place. If passed, Prop. 65 would take the 10 cents per bag supermarkets are allowed to charge customers for paper bags and give these funds to undesignated environmental groups. The plastic bag lobby argues the revenues collected from paper bag sales constitutes a $300 million hidden tax. Those funds, the bag lobby argues, should rightfully go to groups fighting to clean up the environment. It’s worth noting that no major environmental organization has endorsed Prop. 65 and for good reason. The plastic bag lobby has never cared about cleaning up the environment. n

SANTA BARBARA COTTAGE HOSPITAL BABIES
“Cottage saved Adrian’s life not only once, but twice. We are eternally grateful.” - Alberto and Lourdes
Adrian Goleta Adrian was born early at 25 weeks, weighing just over one pound. With underdeveloped lungs, he had trouble breathing. Adrian’s parents and sisters worried he wouldn’t survive. He received specialized treatment in the Level III Neonatal Intensive Care Unit of Cottage Children’s Medical Center. Adrian spent 15 weeks under the expert care of Cottage doctors, nurses and other skilled staff, until he was strong enough to go home. Eight years later, Adrian was in a car accident and was helicoptered to the Pediatric Intensive Care Unit at Santa Barbara Cottage Hospital. Since then, he has made a complete recovery. Today, Adrian is healthy, happy and enjoys dancing to his favorite songs.

DID YOU KNOW... Fleas are small biting, jumping insects that live in the fur of many different animals. Cat and dog fleas are the most likely fleas to affect humans. While their bites can cause severe itching and skin infections, they can also spread diseases such as cat-scratch fever, typhus and plague to people. Also encountered by humans are the oriental rat flea (Xenopsylla cheopis) and the northern rat flea (Nosopsyllus fasciatus). Both live on Norway rats and roof rats, and are capable of transmitting plague and murine typhus to humans.

SiSter ChÂn KhÔng’S Mindful Peace

ith terrorist attacks, civil war in Syria, and other sporadic conflicts around the world, today can seem like an even more chaotically violent time than when Sister Chân Không (pictured above) started her work during the Vietnam War. But the Buddhist nun, who lives in France’s Plum Village with more than 100 nuns, laypeople, and monks, including her mentor, Thích Nhât Hânh, sees things more cyclically, noting that violence was quite prevalent during the Buddha’s lifetime, too. As the Buddha preached then, she believes that “practicing peace” will help move the world in a better direction. Sister Chân Không comes to Trinity Episcopal Church (1500 State St.) on Wednesday, October 12, at 7 p.m. to lead a meditation and speak with Pacifica Graduate Institute’s Joseph Bobrow in a talk titled Being Peace in Divisive Times, an event sponsored by the Deep Streams Zen Institute. We spoke over the phone last week, and here’s what she had to say.
Thoughts on terrorism? She wants to send peace
to victims of terrorist attacks, but also perpetrators. “We must send good energy to those who are terrorists,” she said. “They are victims of their own wrong perception. By sending love and kindness to them, they will not think that way.”
How to practice peace? “It’s not only wishful
thinking,” she explained. “When you practice peace,
and your sister is horrible to you, you have no way to shout back at her. You can only be kind. Anybody can do it; during the day, during the night, when you’re sitting at home or on a plane, send good energy to the person in front of them, at their left, at their right. That gives them peace.” Previous visits? “Santa Barbara is very dear to me,” she said. Her first visit was 30 years ago with Thích Nhât Hânh to teach mindfulness to children ages 5-12. “What they loved most is the hugging meditation, when you hug deeply your mom or daddy or your friend,” she said. She also once met an American veteran in Santa Barbara who remained angry over losing his friend in Vietnam and was ashamed of the revenge he took. She helped him find a better path to helping children. “That was very rewarding for us,” she said. What will she talk about? “I will talk a lot about wrong perceptions,” she said, explaining that if you expect an insulting comment, you may hear one even if the person didn’t intend that.“I will speak about the relationship between partners, between parent and children, and how we can overcome when we are divided. With calmness and listening, there is more reconciliation.” — Matt Kettmann See beingpeace.brownpapertickets.com to attend Sister Chân Không’s October 12 talk.
he Moving Wall, a traveling replica of the Vietnam Veterans Memorial in Washington, D.C., comes to Chase Palm Park (323 E. Cabrillo Blvd.) on Wednesday-Monday, October 12-17, displaying more than 58,000 names of those who died in service. The six-day vigil gives veterans and their families a chance to pay their respects, make a “rubbing” of the names, and engage with others about their experience. Nearly a half century later, the Vietnam War remains controversial, from the reasons why the United States engaged and why we left to how the war affected veterans and the way they were received when they returned.“When you came back, you landed in the middle of the night, came off the plane — within three to five hours, you were out of the processing center, catching a bus or a flight,” remembers Peter Bie, president of the Vietnam Veterans of America Chapter 218. “You were tired, worn out; you’d been traveling for 18 hours maybe by the time you got to the States. And as you walk through the airport, there is not a civilian who says, ‘Welcome back.’” Bie was one of the lucky ones of the 2.7 million who served during that two-decade-long conflict. But surviving was just step one: Posttraumatic stress disorder remains the legacy of Vietnam vets, and one of the main conditions treated by the Veterans Administration. Bie believes the Moving Wall provides a space of healing, a space for vets to come to terms with their condition and the hardship they faced. “When the Vietnam vets come to the wall, whether it’s in D.C. or something like this, it is also moving emotionally,” explained Bie. “For the Vietnam vets to stand at the wall [and] see the names, they are confronting their own experience. … It becomes cathartic, a healing wall. It becomes a wall of reconciliation and, in many ways, becomes a wall of forgiveness. “There were many things done in the name of war that many GIs carry that guilt with them,” he continued. “[Coming] to the wall, it’s an opportunity to ask for forgiveness, but also to forgive yourself for what you may have done. It doesn’t mean that your demons are necessarily going to go away, but you’re finding accommodation, and you can share that sense of spirit that pervades as people stand at the wall.” A ceremony will be held at 11 a.m. on Saturday, October 15, where 98 names from Santa Barbara County will be read and honored with the customary bell-ringing. A candlelight vigil will be held the following evening, Sunday, October 16, at 6:30 p.m. In addition to a display of the Huey helicopter in use during the war, the healing art exhibition will also host various educational programs, both for the public and students of many ages. “Come to the wall, first of all, to honor and remember the service of those who died,” said Bie, “but also the thousands upon thousands upon thousands who served during the war era … all coming home very much changed.” — Sarah Sutherland

any of the world’s brightest minds in modern marketing will arrive at the Fess Parker next week to attend Ontrapalooza, the annual summit put on by Santa Barbara–based business-automation company Ontraport. Among the speakers are Nasty Gal founder Sophia Amoruso, whose online-clothing retail empire made her one of the richest women in the country, and Marc Randolph, the Santa Cruz entrepreneur who cofounded Netflix. The latter chatted with The Santa Barbara Independent last week. So Netflix wasn’t inspired by a $40 late charge for renting Apollo 13? With origin stories, most companies have very, very convo-
luted parentages. It’s not as if everything comes fully formed from one man’s mind. Lots and lots of people chime in with many ideas. But most people don’t want those nuanced details, so you come up with a story that shows what the reasoning of the company was. It’s like a Greek fable, in a way. But at Ontrapalooza, I’ll be trying to give all those nuances of what really went into starting a company like Netflix, to really understand what makes a company successful.
A must-see film for families struggling with issues around kids and screen time, from social media and internet addiction to how much is too much and how to navigate a digital world. note new date

What’s that? The first one is that the idea you start with may not be what
really becomes successful. Of all the seven start-ups I’ve been involved with, that’s the skill: How do you stretch from one place and remain flexible and learn from mistakes and keep moving forward, even though it starts to look very different from the original idea?
Corporate Season Sponsor:
(805) 893-3535 www.ArtsAndLectures.UCSB.edu
Media Sponsor:
How do you achieve that flexibility? The big one is developing a
culture of risk. That’s not just one person being a risk-taker. It’s making it permissible for the entire company. Risk doesn’t mean scary and dangerous. It means going down a path without knowing in advance where it’s going to lead. And that’s going to happen if you are doing something that hasn’t been done before. The second thing is setting it up so you can try lots of ideas. The successful start-up is not the one which comes up with one good idea; it’s the one that is able to build a system that allows it to try lots of bad ideas.
Are you surprised people are still renting DVDs? From day one, people were saying a DVD rental-by-mail company was ridiculous. Just wait, they said, it will be a matter of weeks before everyone is downloading movies. That was 20 years ago. We knew that if we founded a company based on digital delivery, we’d be waiting a long time. On the other hand, with the inevitability of moving away from DVDs, we had to build something that wasn’t going to put us in a dead end. That was the genius behind Netflix: We positioned ourselves as delivery agnostic. And when they’re beaming movies into your telepathic helmets, we’ll deliver movies that way. It’s just founded on something very different, — Matt Kettmann which is finding great entertainment. Ontrapalooza runs Wednesday-Friday, October 12-14, at the Fess Parker DoubleTree Resort (633 E. Cabrillo Blvd.). See ontrapalooza.com for the schedule and tickets, which are reduced to $297 by using the code “OPLZALocals” at checkout.

The 2016 race for the White House has been unprecedented with one surprise after another. Join Professor Knecht as we try to make sense of the nominations of Donald Trump and Hillary Clinton and predict what might happen come November. We’ll look at how candidates use various campaign strategies to make their way to the White House, and why those strategies usually don’t matter that much. Indeed, Professor Knecht will argue that the things people tend to focus on—campaign ads, debates, media coverage, issue positions, gaffs, hair—usually have little effect on who becomes the next president.

Fearing the Effects of Tech Time
T
here was a fleeting moment when I had full control of my kids’ screen situation. No phones were allowed at the dinner table or in bedrooms. The only accessible computer had parental protections and sat in an open living area. And the kids had to earn their daily screen time with outdoor exercise. BOOM. Take that, demons of the digital era. We were cultivating no rudeness, lewdness, or sedentary dude-ness in my house. But … that was a few years back. Now a meal rarely goes by when someone doesn’t whip out a phone to check a fact, share a video, pull up a photo. Our phones are our alarm clocks; of course they’re in our bedrooms. Computers outnumber humans two-to-one at Chez Roshell. And it’s hard to track screen time when our 6th grader’s homework, entertainment, social interaction, and even reading is on a screen. Heck, the timer he uses to monitor screen time is on an iPad. Like a lot of parents, I’ve watched my kids’ faces turn permanently, inevitably screenward with a mild sense of panic. Sure, we love that they can game with their cousins across the country, text us when the bus is running late, and explore their budding interest in photography. But what’s lost when developing minds become consumed by their digital devices? That’s the question a new documentary set out to answer. In Screenagers: Growing Up in the Digital Age, a physician and mom explores the impact tech time has on kids’ minds, families, school performance, and friendships. UCSB Arts & Lectures screens it for free on Sunday, October 16, at the Arlington Theatre, and it’s a compelling watch for both parents and teens.You’ll see a school district that banned cell email: starshine@roshell.com phones, a girl shamed by a photo that went viral, and a boy sent to video-game-addiction rehab. But I’ll be honest: What haunted me in the days after I saw Screenagers was a pigtailed girl describing her mommy — and her mommy’s phone: “She talks to me, and then she goes back to it for five minutes. Then she talks to me; then she goes back. Then she talks to me; then she goes back ... Maybe she could spend a little bit less time on it.” I flushed with cold, ugly recognition at her words. That was me. How often do I catch myself “listening” to my son as I’m checking my phone? More importantly: How often does he catch me? I may be reading a text or email, checking the weather, or pulling up directions — even just glancing at the time. To him, it must all look the same: It’s the most important thing to me. “I like it when you put it away and give me your full attention,” he said when I mustered the courage to ask him. “Then if I have something exciting to tell you, it’ll have the full effect.” I confessed my guilt and shame to the film’s producer, Scilla Andreen, on the phone last week—and she felt my pain. “When I told my kids I was making this movie, they were like, ‘God, I hope you learn from it!’” she said. “I’m attached to my phone. When I put it down, I feel like I’m drinking a lot of water and there’s no bathroom around.” But she’s set some limits for herself since making the film.“It’s never too late,” she says—and she has higher hopes for the next generation than for their less-disciplined parents. “I believe that kids are getting smarter. They will self-regulate and find balance. These kids care where their food comes from. They care who’s making their clothing. They care what technology is doing to them, as well.” I hope so, because my screen-addled mind keeps drifting back to that anti-drug commercial I saw so often as a TV-watching child of the ’80s. An angry dad confronts his son, demanding to know who taught him how to roll a joint. “You, all right?” the teen shouts back. “I learned it by watching you!”

Lakers Learn from Luke at uCsB

New Coach Walton Shifts Toward Team Ball; Plus, Bye to Vin, Ravelomanantsoa, and Carbajal
etta World Peace is a 16-year NBA veteran
who was fighting for a job last week at Mecca World Hoops, another name for Santa Barbara when it comes to basketball training camps. The Los Angeles Lakers launched a new era under head coach Luke Walton with six days of energetic workouts at UCSB’s Robertson Gymnasium. World Peace, 36, is the oldest of the 20 players currently on the roster. It is heavy on youth, featuring three years of high draft picks — power forward Julius Randle (2014), point guard D’Angelo Russell (2015), and small forward Brandon Ingram (2016) — with an average age of 20. Walton, 36 himself, found the players to be highly motivated. “They play hard, which I love,” he said after a session. Most of the early work was defense, the aspect of the game based on effort. The theme on the offensive side is movement and sharing the ball, the style characteristic of the Golden State Warriors, where Walton coached alongside Steve Kerr.“It’s huge,” he said.“That’s how we expect to play this year. A lot of guys aren’t used to playing that way, but we’re going to keep harping on them.” World Peace was impressed. “I’m learning so much,” the veteran forward said. “[The coaches] have great basketball minds.” The Lakers’ camp was a homecoming for assistant coach Brian Shaw, who led the UCSB Gauchos to their first NCAA Division 1 play-off appearance in 1988. He picked up three championship rings as a player for the Lakers and two more as an assistant, before plying his trade in Indiana and Denver. Walton brought him back to L.A. “I was on the staff for seven years when Luke was a player here,” Shaw said. “He’s always had an aptitude for the game and good rapport with the players. We have a young group, and we have our work cut out for us, but I think he’s the right person at the right time.”

The Goodland
ise (from the dead) and shine at the Goodland Hotel this Sunday, October 9, when the spirits of divas past come to life in the form of glamorous performers alongside a scrumptious brunch buffet and cocktails that can revive any corpse. Just in time for the fanciful dress of Halloween, S.B.’s beloved transgender performer Deja Re will host a special Drag Yourself to Brunch: Drop Dead Divas edition, featuring the everfab music master DJ Darla Bea, plus scarily good food by Outpost chef Nick Bajal and frightfully tasty cocktails by lead bartender Chris Burmeister. With a Deja Re portion of the proceeds benefiting the Pacific Pride Foundation, you can also rest in peace knowing that the fun event will be a truly supportive one for the LGBTQ+ community and all allies. For newcomers and veterans alike, this installation of the Goodland’s Drag Yourself to Brunch will be a great time, says Re. Guests “can expect to be dazzled with entertainment — for those two hours people forget about their problems and issues and are strictly entertained,” she said. The event will be a variety show that includes a mix of singing, dancing, and spoken word from a handful of lovely entertainers, some of whom identify as transgender and others as drag queens. The performers will celebrate the spirits of empowering female singers living and dead, from Whitney Houston, Donna Summer, and Judy Garland to Dolly Parton, Madonna, and Stevie Nicks, said DJ Darla Bea, who helped conceive the concept. The event will bring back to life the memory of “strong ladies who inspire and continue to inspire and women who have embraced the LGBTQ community or furthered LGBTQ cul(5650 Calle real, Goleta) ture,” Bea said.

Sip This
Dogfish Head’s SeaQuench Ale Two of the most intriguing brewing trends over the past few years play to opposing ends of the suds spectrum. One is the “session” beer, which takes a powerful, pungent, and usually boozy style like a West Coast IPA, tones it down a tad on all fronts, and presents a beer that’s more easily likable to a wider array of palates and doesn’t get you wasted in a few sips. The other is the sour craze, which plays to the most adventurous of ale-nauts by using wild yeast and curious bacteria (rather than just clean Saccharomyces yeast) to produce tart, acidic, and funky flavors. This new beer from craft pioneers Dogfish Head combines those trends to present a session sour, and it accomplishes both goals. It’s sour and a tad funky, thanks to the use of sea salt, lime juice, and wondrously bizarre black limes, a sun-dried treat from the Middle East that deserves its own story. But it’s also very mellow compared to the usual sour beer, making it approachable to those who fear tartness, quite refreshing, and, yes, sessionable to those of us who crave the pungent acidity. And it’s actually a lot more interesting than that. As a nod to the 500th anniversary of the German Beer Purity Law, SeaQuench is actually a combination of three German beer styles: Kölsch, Gose, and Berliner Weiss. Plus, the sea salt involved was made to replicate what is found in the waters of Maine and the Chesapeake Bay, a project the Delaware-based brewery conducted with the National Aquarium in Baltimore, Maryland. Call it a session sour for smarty-pants. See dogfish.com. —Matt Kettmann

ISLA VISTA UPDATES: The sign for Dumpling King, which was planning to take over The Cantina at 966 Embarcadero del Mar, is gone. I am told that the The Cantina is still open but frequently closed during business hours. HiWI Tropical Fusion, coming to 6555 Pardall Road, was projected to open last June. I stopped by, and it appears that the address is in early-stage construction of a new building, so I don’t expect them to open until next year. The locally owned Domino’s store at 955 Embarcadero del Mar now has a Domino’s DXP delivery vehicle. The DXPs are specially designed vehicles that have been created exclusively for Domino’s.

ickey’s Barbecue Pit has opened to big crowds in Goleta’s Hollister Village Plaza. The nation’s largest barbecue chain, Dickey’s was founded in 1941 by Travis Dickey to make authentic, slow-smoked barbecue. The new location at 7060 Hollister Avenue will have giveaways for the next four weeks, including: Thirsty Thursdays (free Big Yellow Cup with reusable travel lid and straw, and the first 50 guests get a free taste of the butcher taco of the month, the Buffalo Bleu); Philanthropy Fridays (patrons who donate to Dickey’s charitable foundation, Barbecue, Boots & Badges, will receive a gift card), and uniformed first responders also receive 50 percent off their meal; Singer/Songwriter Saturdays, with live music; and Kids Eat Free All Day Every Sunday with a $10 dine-in purchase per adult. “The Dickey family congratulates Gary Chhina on opening his Dickey’s Barbecue Pit location in Goleta,” says Roland Dickey Jr., CEO of Dickey’s Barbecue Restaurants, Inc. Born and raised in California, Chhina has been in the restaurant business for seven years. After making a career out of building successful businesses, he decided that he was ready to open his own franchise. He chose Dickey’s because he wanted to bring the people of Goleta real Texas barbecue. “I am excited to not only be a part of the Dickey’s Barbecue Pit family but also engage with my local community,” says Chhina. The Restaurant Guy, Gal, and Kid stopped by and tried the St. Louis–style ribs and the beef brisket and really enjoyed our meals. I noticed that free self-serve ice cream cones are available to every customer. Dickey’s is open daily 11 a.m.-9 p.m. Call 201-0444 or visit dickeys .com.

If it weren’t for Proposition 13, there probably wouldn’t be a California Avocado Festival, the 30th annual edition of which goes down on the streets of Carpinteria this weekend. By the mid-1980s, the controversial propertytax-fixing measure was drastically limiting the City of Carpinteria’s budget. “It had a devastating effect on the nonprofits in the community,”said real estate broker and Avo Fest cofounder Debbie Murphy. “The city council used to dole out money to different groups, but that all dried up in one year. Everyone was scrambling.” That included the Chamber of Commerce, where she was president. “Several of us on the chamber board got together over a bottle of wine at my house one night, and we simply invented the thing,” said Murphy. “It was big and bold for teeny Carpinteria at the time. We decided to call it the California Avocado Festival to make sure no one else would have one!” (Fallbrook in San Diego County, however, did actually launch one that same year.) Unlike today, when every town has one if not many festivals, only the Gilroy Garlic Festival had a real template to follow back then. ia So Murphy and crew visited n r o f li The Ca stival that, read their manuals, e F o d Avoca day, and fired up the Avo Fest n u -S y a d is Fri in , in October 1986, giving -9 7 October ria. organizations a place to e t in Carp om. c raise money by selling food, t. s fe o v See a drink, and more from their booths. “It was amazing that it worked the first time, and it was

Allinson’s painting “Spring in the Abruzzi,” a gift to the museum by collectors Mary and Will Richeson Jr., merges the scrupulous awareness of human participation in the landscape typical of William Constable to the modernist representational tendencies of European post-impressionism. Visitors to the British show would be well advised to set aside some extra time for a pair of splendid accompaniments, Seven Doors: Jan Tichy and the Chiaroscuro of Art Museum Collecting and Cecil Beaton’s “London’s Honourable Scars”: Photographs of the Blitz. Tichy is a Czech-born, Chicagobased contemporary artist working in the extended field of photography, and this exhibit, which occupies both the Ludington Court and a smaller adjacent gallery, is a multimedia meditation on the SBMA’s position in relation to its 75-year history. Combining objects from the museum’s collection with a time-based video projection and a lyrical series of prints examining the mathematics of pentagons, this is one of the headiest and most thoughtful explorations of what it means to be an art museum in the 21st century I have encountered. As an artist and as a thinker, Tichy is unparalleled. His ideas have ideas. And the beautiful, touching Blitz photos of Cecil Beaton that curator Charlie Wylie unearthed from the vaults, a gift from former museum director Ala Story, serve as a fine coda and as an indicator of how special a legacy this museum and all those who have served it are to our city. — Charles Donelan
sBiFF’s Capital CA C mpA mp ign Each winter when the Santa Barbara International Film Festival (SBIFF) takes over downtown, our seaside town’s movie houses hum with a whir of films, panel discussions, and celebrity events. It’s good fun and great fare, but it doesn’t end when the festival packs up — SBIFF is a year-round experience offering educational programs, Wave mini-festivals, and weekly showcase films at their recently acquired Riviera Theatre. In an effort to enhance its roster of offerings, SBIFF has begun a fundraising effort, deemed the Capital Campaign, which will allow it “to expand [its] current slate of education programs, preserve an important historic landmark, enhance the communal theater experience, and create a cultural hub for all things film,” according to a recent press release. More than $2 million has been raised so far, with the goal of $5 million by March 2017. A face-lift for the Riviera is scheduled to begin January 2017 with a spring completion date. In addition to theater restoration, a new balcony lounge will
be built that will serve as a space for SBIFF gatherings and receptions come the 2018 festival. Other planned changes include a classroom, world-class sound and projecting systems, a loop system for the hearing impaired, and improved heating and air conditioning. With the Riviera Theatre as its base, the SBIFF now has the opportunity to expand its already existing educational programs — such as its youth programs, AppleBox Family Films and Mike’s Field Trip to the Movies — as well as create new offerings. “Our capital campaign and expansions to the Riviera Theatre mark an important new chapter in our festival’s history,” said festival executive director Roger Durling. “These renovations and improvements will allow us to serve Santa Barbara in new and exciting ways and will bring us closer together as a community.” For more information and to contribute to the campaign, see sbiff.org/ riviera. — Michelle Drown

s anyone who has ever remodeled a home or any other building knows, it’s a challenging task, especially if you plan to get anything else done while that work is going on. When the Santa Barbara Museum of Art (SBMA) broke ground on its comprehensive seismic retrofit/ remodel project, director Larry J. Feinberg and his team of curators knew that the next five years would present major obstacles to their stated intention of remaining open throughout the process. Now, with the opening of the excellent new exhibition British Art from Whistler to World War II II, as well as two other equally fascinating concurrent shows, the museum has demonstrated that it is fully and appropriately in step with the choice words of Winston Churchill, who famously said,“If you’re going “Madonna of the Setting Sun” (detail) by Eileen Agar through hell, keep going.” The British art survey, which was curated to self-consciousness, lingered somewhat by art historian Peyton Skipwith, includes 50 longer and more pervasively than it did in paintings, drawings, and sculptures encom- France, inflecting the art of Britain with a passing the period 1890 through 1945, all of distinctively human set of characteristics. them taken from the museum’s permanent For example, the artists who studied at the collection.

Season Opener
If it’s Saturday, then why is it also Tuesday? Fans of the Santa Barbara Chamber Orchestra (SBCO), which traditionally performs its concerts on Tuesday evenings at the Lobero Theatre, could be forgiven for being a little confused about the time of its season opener, which comes up on Saturday, October 8. What it will not be forgiven for is missing it, especially now that State Street Ballet has gotten involved with the pre-concert festivities, which begin at 5:30 p.m. The dancers, who will present a tribute to classic Hollywood, are just one of the attractions at this season kickoff, which will also feature wine, hors d’oeuvres, and a signature cocktail. The concert itself begins at 7:30 p.m.and will include Antonin Dvořák’s Symphony No. 9 in E Minor, Op. 95 “From the New World” and George Gershwin’s Con95, certo in F. Maestro Heiichiro Ohyama is confident that people are going to love this combination of two works that the SBCO has never played before. Pianist Wendy Chen, whom Ohyama describes as “a very rare, incredible talent,” will join for the Gershwin. Chen is fresh off a well-received chamber-music collaboration with cellist Andrés Diaz and violinist Chee Yun, and is certain to bring intelligence and verve to the performance. SBCO Executive Director Kevin Marvin remembers Chen’s last appearance with the group well — it was in 2014, his first season in Santa Barbara, and he recalls a performance that was “electric with emotion as seen in the reaction of our audience.” Good seats are still available for this big opening night, as well as for SBCO’s Tuesday, December 13, program of baroque music at All Saints-bythe-Sea in Montecito.

TWO TRUE HEARTS: Honne takes its name from the Japanese term referring to true feelings, and the duo’s electronic soul music is filled with deep emotion.
OCTOBER
Turning You on by Richie DeMaria DIGITAL LOVE: Let’s talk about sex, baby, and the music written to inspire more impassioned instances of it worldwide. In the weeks ahead, S.B. will welcome two huge names in electronic music who have made a name for themselves with their sensually pleasing tunes: London’s electronic-soul duo Honne, who will get the slow grinds churning at SOhO Restaurant & Music Club (1221 State St.) on Tuesday, October 11, at 9 p.m. with Ravyn Lenae, and on Sunday, October 16, at 9 p.m., L.A.’s production trio Cheat Codes will get booties shaking at Eos Lounge (500 Anacapa St.) with Matoma, Steve Void, and Baynk. While temperamentally different and geographically distinct, both acts have, in their ways, helped to soundtrack and enhance all manner of lovemaking and dating, fields that in 2016 have never before been more inclusive — or more technologically entwined. This year, Honne released the full-length Warm On a Cold Night, full of intimate and soulful electronic pieces that at once bring to mind the rainy nights of England and the loving and cozying necessary to outlast them, whether with a longstanding partner or that evening’s smartphone catch. When asked how the duo makes such tender music, James Hatch and Andy Clutterbuck said they look to the greats like Motown and Michael Jackson to inform their musical romancing. With both members in committed relationships, a lot of the source material comes firsthand, music born of love instead of a fishnet for more.“We want our music to be respectful for both sexes,” Hatch said, calling their music a “celebration of the great things that love and relationships and sex can bring.” “We really strongly feel that anybody should be able to feel love, whether it be a man and man, woman and woman, woman and man—love makes the world go around,” Clutterbuck said. Cheat Codes, meanwhile, love to make loving fun, and so do their listeners. The trio has landed a simultaneous pair of hits—“Sex” (featuring Kris Kross Amsterdam) and “Let Me Hold You (Turn Me On)” (featuring Dante Klein)—that are currently huge in Europe. Born of a Salt-N-Pepa sample, “Sex” was sprung organically into the world to address a very universal theme. “Everybody is on this world because of sex,” said Matthew Russell, one third of the production trio. Cheat Codes are one of the moment’s most shining examples of genremelding, with joyfully sample-heavy songs that could be considered equally EDM, house, and pop, with enough crowd-pleasing elements to fit in on just about any dance floor. What’s more, many of their songs started as acoustic numbers, with songwriting being a core emphasis of the creation process. The trio began as a self-starting entity, and looking back on their broker days, Russell recommends rising DIY musicians to use what’s right in front of them. “Always take all the resources you have, and move forward from that,” he said.“A lot of people have more resources than they realize.”As they say, it’s not what you have, but how you use it. ACOUSTICAL LOVE: Lest it seem love has become strictly digital nowadays, what with most arrangements and encounters occurring through a series of swipe-rights and emojis, there are other acts to remind us that more acoustic sounds can harmonize just as well with heart-stuff as can synths and drum machines. The soulful jazz duo Lucinda Lane will soothe your Sunday, October 9, at 7:30 p.m. at SOhO with lovely, crooning, Sundaylounging vibes, perfect for some late-night winding down and love reinvigorating. Romance your sweetheart, and jazz his or her or their heart out.

t’s not just superstition that keeps many theater companies away from performing Shakespeare’s Macbeth. The source of the indelible phrase “something wicked this way comes” presents fiendish difficulties to even the most well-prepared of casts, mixing some of Shakespeare’s best incandescent poetry with supernatural Presented by sequences that strain Ensemble Theatre credulity. In Ensemble Company. At the New Theatre Company’s Vic, Sat., Oct. 1. Shows powerful new prothrough Oct. 16. duction, director Jonathan Fox employs multiple strategies in an assault on the text that’s distinguished both by the high quality of the performances and by the high-tech dazzle with which they are presented. As Macbeth, Jamison Jones offers crisp articulation and undeniable sex appeal. Once his shirt comes off early in the first half, any question about what Kathryn Meisle’s Lady Macbeth sees in him is laid to rest. Two design decisions place this production firmly in the 21st century. Hana S. Kim has produced a brilliant set for the state-of-theart projections that create the intricate backdrops and convincing apparitions. Dianne K. Graebner’s costumes substitute desert camouflage and modern bulletproof vests for the play’s traditional tartans and armor. In the final confrontation between Macduff (A.K. Murtadha) and Macbeth, fight director Ken Merckx renders this time shift complete, abandoning Shakespeare’s swordplay in favor of a struggle straight out of a Hollywood action movie. While these up-to-the-minute adjustments unquestionably give the production a fabulous look, what they mean remains an open question. —Charles Donelan

he Orphan Keeper is a novel based on the true story of an Indian boy who is kidnapped from his small hometown, sold to an orphanage, and then adopted by an American couple who provide the child with a quintessential American upbringing. The bare facts of the true story create a sturdy
foundation for a work of fiction, and novelist Camron Wright almost succeeds in weaving a narrative spell. Almost— but not entirely. There is much Almost to admire about The Orphan Keeper, particularly the early chapters that follow the boy, Chellamuthu, from his humble village to the confines of the orphanage where he knows he doesn’t belong because he has a family, and culminate with the culture shock he experiences in middle-class America. What jarred me out of the fictional dream was the fact that in the space of a decade or so, ChelChel lamuthu—renamed renamed Taj Khyber by his adoptive parents — completely forgets his Indian history and heritage and family. This would have been plausible had Chellamuthu been adopted as an infant — or even a toddler of 2 or 3—but he was 8 when he landed in America, old enough to have acquired some concrete memories. From that point on, through Taj’s experience in a study-abroad program in England to his marriage and then his return to India to what becomes a desperate search to find his home and relatives, the fictional spell was broken. — Brian Tanguay paul wellman

t Friday night’s Gary Clark Jr. show, the young gun out of Austin turned the Santa Barbara Bowl into the outdoor roadhouse of your dreams. Clark, who has mastered the alchemy of putting on a great stage show, never took a false step. “Bright Lights,” an unforgettable original that’s At the S.B. Bowl, also an homage to the Fri., Sept. 30. great Jimmy Reed, opened a propulsive set that built steadily to a satisfyingly wild close. Clark and the band then came back for a lengthy and dynamic set of encores that was almost a second show. Like Chuck Berry or Keith Richards, Clark conducts from the guitar in constant, dazzling conversation with his drummer, Johnny Radelat, and his bassist, Johnny Bradley. And even though there are four musicians onstage, including rhythm and slide virtuoso Eric “King” Zapata, the band comes across as more of a classic power trio like Band of Gypsys or Cream than a two-guitar, Southern-rock/

A Mormon [hall]?” At that, folks rushed the stage or stood up in their seats, finally being allowed to participate in the high-energy show Lauper was giving. Lauper treated fans to a two-encore set that included her biggest hits, “Time After Time” and “Girls Just Want to Have Fun.” Before the last song of the night, the poignant “True Colors,” the icon encouraged folks to vote, reminding everyone that “there are a lot of civil-rights issues coming up” in this election, and to the ladies she said, “It’s the first time in history we can vote for one of us.” At the Arlington that night, Cyndi Lauper’s true colors were definitely shining through, and that’s why we love her. — Michelle Drown

blues quartet. This economy of expression pays off in impact. A Gary Clark Jr. audience feels each and every note in their bones. Clark’s not crossing over; he’s just bringing a bigger blues to the 21st-century stage. As with Alabama Shakes, who played the Bowl last season, we’re hearing something that sounds contemporary in 2016 but that could have torn the roof off of either Fillmore in 1969. Music doesn’t progress; neither does it decline. The musicians of today aren’t better than those of 40—or 400—years ago, and they’re not worse. What matters is great music, music like Clark is making, music that plays tricks on time. — CD

espite the cooling temperatures outdoors, inside the Arlington was as sultry as a New York summer as fans crowded in to see Cyndi Lauper perform. On tour for her latest release, Detour Detour, the spirited singer hooked the audience at the start with the rollicking “Funnel of At the Arlington Love” and then reeled us Theatre, Wed., in with the delightfully Sept. 28. mischievous “She Bop,” her chart-topping third single from her 1983 award-winning She’s So Unusual. In addition to having the vocal pipes of a rock/pop siren, Lauper is a gifted storyteller; in her distinct Queens accent, she regaled concertgoers with charming tales of her life and origins of the tunes she performed that evening. For example, the impetus for Detour, she said, came from her desire to represent a time period of music when “rockabilly turned into rock and roll.” She talked of her childhood when she and her siblings would reenact shows from TV such as The Lone Ranger and Roy Rogers, and how she at first rejected the song “Girls Just Want to Have Fun” because it was written by a man. The rest of her set saw Lauper trot out songs from albums Detour, Memphis Blues, A Night to Remember, and, of course, She’s So Unusual. A particularly memorable moment came during “Money Changes Everything” when Lauper stopped the show to chastise a security guard who wouldn’t let a patron dance.“We’re not allowed to dance?” she asked incredulously. “I’m breaking my ass, and [the

horeographers Weslie Ching, Jessica Kondrath, and Robin Bisio’s Semiosis dazzled a packed audience with an impressive display of scientific thought and movement Saturday, October 1, at Center Stage Theater. Ching pushed the boundaries of modern dance to tackle the relationship between physics and metaphysical cosmology. Inspired by concepts including string theory, the At Center Stage law of conservation Theater, Sat., Oct. 1. of mass, and electromagnetic theory, Ching’s three dynamic and visually appealing pieces operated on an intellectual level far above bodily expression. Kondrath’s two works — both inspired by musician Brian Eno’s oblique strategy of revisiting old ideas to create something new —evoked wonderment, limitation, and liberation. Dancer Kristin Deiss gave a standout performance in “In total darkness, or in a very large room, very quietly.” Black lights arranged in an octagon enhanced the appearance of her muscles, making it seem as if she defied gravity as she floated across the stage. Bisio’s multimedia offerings included two Ethan Turpin films and live music by Alixandra Macmillan-Fiedel and Chris Nava, which steered the program toward pure aesthetic rather than engaging the intellect, causing a slight dissonance in the evening’s program. Overall, the evening of works did achieve its title goal of semiosis in that it established relationships between signs, which, in turn, were left for the audience to interpret. —Sarah Sutherland

ScREEningS O Command and Control (92 mins., NR)
Fretting over The Bomb has diminished on our index of other more pressing collective anxieties, but Robert Kenner’s fascinating if chilling documentary on the vulnerability of existing nuclear warheads re-awakens some angst. Based on the book by Eric Schlosser, one of many interviewees here, the film zeroes in on a Titan missile mishap in 1980, in Damascus, Arkansas, with a blow-byblow account, aided by elaborate visual reenactment. It’s not a pretty picture, but it’s an important and well-told tale, with a bracing splash of Radiohead’s “4 Minute Warning” to close. (JW)

O Swiss Army Man
(97 mins., R)
Paul Dano plays Hank, bereft on a desert island and about to hang himself when a dead body in the surf named Manny (Daniel Radcliffe) saves his life by flatulating, springing prophetic erections, and spewing fresh water. The directors, Daniel Scheinert and Daniel Kwan, have self-consciously fashioned a cult film, a dicey strategy. The film is a lot funnier and cuter than you might imagine and plays off the same spousebroken anxieties that Judd Apatow mined so long ago. Its cult status is yet to be determined. (DJP)

O Hell or High Water
(102 mins., R)
This grim-toned tale of two bankrobbing brothers (Chris Pine and Ben Foster) and the sheriff (Jeff Bridges) who tries to stop them is something more than a shoot-’em-up. With a taut soundtrack and starkly southwestern cinematography, the film has enough gravitas and emotional ambiguity to give it an air of greatness. (RD)
Fiesta 5
O Miss Peregrine’s Home for Peculiar Children (127 mins., PG-13) At last, a movie for kids and teens that shows the world in its weirdness, after Tim Burton’s last ventures diluted Lewis Carroll’s surrealist brilliance into Disneyfied normalcy. Here, there are peculiar children with ravenous mouths on the back of their heads and eyeless youth who die mysteriously while timetraveling Nazi bombs fall. Aesthetically, the movie is well-made and tailor-suited for Burton’s whimsy, and lead actor Asa Butterfield makes a great brooding teen. However, one does wish that convoluted plot twists were not used as a substitute for emotional substance, and the movie would have been better if the time loops and rabbit holes were accentuated with a deeper sense of human drama; still, it’s a fine fable, more imaginative than most recent movies for this demographic have been.

The Magnificent Seven (132 mins., PG-13)
In this mildly entertaining remake of the classic western, a big cast of characters prepares a town for a huge shootout against a land-grabbing rich man.

Oliver Stone’s Snowden, starring Joseph Gordon-Levitt, is the kind of venerable and moderately thought-provoking political piece one would expect from the director of JFK JFK.

(96 mins., PG-13)
In Sully, Tom Hanks plays Chesley Sullenberger, the beloved pilot who in 2009 crash-landed a U.S. Airways flight in the Hudson River, saving all aboard. Much of the humbly tempered movie concentrates on Sully’s behind-the-scenes wrangling with PTSD and insurance suits who grill him on his competency. In the end, heroism triumphs in a gently inspiring if crowd-pleasingly dull way, and Sully is a welcome reminder of unambiguous human goodness. (RD)

a&e | Rob bRezsny’s fRee will astRology week of octobeR 6 ARIES (Mar. 21-Apr. 19): At a recent party, a guy I hardly know questioned my authenticity. “You seem to have had an easy life,” he jabbed. “I bet you haven’t suffered enough to be a truly passionate person.” I didn’t choose to engage him but mused to myself, “Not enough suffering? What about the time I got shot? My divorce? My five-year-long illness? The manager of my rock band getting killed in a helicopter crash?” But after that initial reaction, my thoughts turned to the adventures that have stoked my passion without causing pain, like the birth of my daughter, getting remarried to the woman I divorced, and performing my music for excited audiences. I bring this up, Aries, because I suspect that you, too, will soon have experiences that refine and deepen your passion through pleasure rather than hardship.
TAURUS (Apr. 20-May 20): It’s the Frank and Focused Feedback Phase, Taurus — prime time to solicit insight about how you’re doing. Here are four suggestions to get you started. (1) Ask a person who loves and respects you to speak the compassionate truth about what’s most important for you to learn. (2) Consult a trustworthy advisor who can help motivate you to do the crucial thing you’ve been postponing. (3) Have an imaginary conversation with the person you were a year ago. Encourage the Old You to be honest about how the New You could summon more excellence in pursuing your essential goals. (4) Say this prayer to your favorite tree or animal or meadow: “Show me what I need to do in order to feel more joy.”
GEMINI (May 21-June 20): Many of my readers regard me as being exceptionally creative. Over the years, they have sent countless emails praising me for my original approach to problem-solving and art-making. But I suspect that I wasn’t born with a greater talent for creativity than anyone else. I’ve simply placed a high value Homework: What is the best gift you could give your best ally right now?

on developing it and have worked harder to access it than most people. With that in mind, I invite you to tap more deeply into your own mother lode of innovative, imaginative energy. The cosmic trends favor it. Your hormones are nudging you in that direction. What projects could use a jolt of primal brilliance? What areas of your life need a boost of ingenuity?
CANCER (June 21-July 22): Love wants more of you. Love longs for you to give everything you have and receive everything you need. Love is conspiring to bring you beautiful truths and poignant teases, sweet dispensations and confounding mysteries, exacting blessings and riddles that will take your entire life to solve. But here are some crucial questions: Are you truly ready for such intense engagement? Are you willing to do what’s necessary to live at a higher and deeper level? Would you know how to work with such extravagant treasure and wild responsibility? The coming weeks will be prime time to explore the answers to these questions. I’m not sure what your answers will be.

occurrence during the summer. Snow falls year-round. But back in 1929, an adventurer named Bill Williams decided the task of hiking to the summit wasn’t tough enough. He sought a more demanding challenge. Wearing knee pads, he spent 21 days crawling along as he used his nose to push a peanut all the way up. I advise you to avoid making him your role model in the coming weeks, Virgo. Just climb the mountain. Don’t try to push a peanut up there with your nose, too.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): “It isn’t normal to know what we want,” said psychologist Abraham Maslow.“It is a rare and difficult psychological achievement.” He wasn’t referring to the question of what you want for dinner or the new shoes you plan to buy. He was talking about big, long-term yearnings: what you hope to be when you grow up, the qualities you look for in your best allies, the feelings you’d love to feel in abundance every day of your life. Now here’s the good news, Libra: The next 10 months should bring you the best chance ever to figure out exactly what you want the most. And it all starts now.
(July 23-Aug. 22): Each of us contains a multiplicity of selves. You may often feel as if there’s just one of you rumbling around inside your psyche, but it’s closer to the truth to say that you’re a community of various characters whose agendas sometimes overlap and sometimes conflict. For example, the needy part of you that craves love isn’t always on the same wavelength as the ambitious part of you that seeks power. That’s why it’s a good idea to periodically organize summit meetings where all of your selves can gather and negotiate. Now is one of those times: a favorable moment to foster harmony among your inner voices and to mobilize them to work together in service of common goals.

(Oct. 23-Nov. 21): Practitioners of the Ayurvedic medical tradition tout the healing power of regular self-massage. Creativity expert Julia Cameron recommends that you periodically go out on dates with yourself. Taoist author Mantak Chia advises you to visualize sending smiles and good wishes to your kidneys, lungs, liver, heart, and other organs. He says that these acts of kindness bolster your vigor. The coming weeks will be an especially favorable time to attend to measures like these, Scorpio. I hope you will also be imaginative as you give yourself extra gifts and compliments and praise.
SAGITTARIUS
seen in a long time, you have the potential to draw on the crafty power and unruly wisdom and resilient compassion you would need to be an unambiguous winner. A winner of what? You tell me. What dilemma would you most like to resolve? What test would you most like to ace? At what game would you most like to be victorious? Now is the time.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): Are you grunting and sweating as you struggle to preserve and maintain the gains of the past? Or are you smooth and cagey as you maneuver your way toward the rewards of the future? I’m rooting for you to put the emphasis on the second option. Paradoxically, that will be the best way to accomplish the first option. It will also ensure that your motivations are primarily rooted in love and enthusiasm rather than worry and stress. And that will enable you to succeed at the second option.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): Do you believe that you are mostly just a product of social conditioning and your genetic makeup? Or are you willing to entertain a different hypothesis: that you are a primal force of nature on an unpredictable journey? That you are capable of rising above your apparent limitations and expressing aspects of yourself that might have been unimaginable when you were younger? I believe the coming weeks will be a favorable time to play around with this vision. Your knack for transcendence is peaking. So are your powers to escape the past and exceed limited expectations.
PISCES (Feb. 19-Mar. 20): In one of your nightly dreams, Robin Hood may team up with Peter Pan to steal unused treasure from a greedy monster — and then turn the booty over to you. Or maybe you’ll meet a talking hedgehog and singing fox who will cast a spell to heal and revive one of your wounded fantasies. It’s also conceivable that you will recover a magic seed that had been lost or forgotten and attract the help of a fairy godmother or godfather to help you ripen it.
