Earlier this month, at an annual awards ceremony put on by the Floodplain Management Association (of California, Nevada, and Hawai‘i), the Independent was recognized with the agency’s Communications and Outreach Award for our coverage of the 1/9 Debris Flow. “The Santa Barbara Independent was on the scene publishing multiple articles describing the devastation to the community and the recovery that has taken place since,” the recognition reads. “During all the tragedy, stories of miracles emerged through the deluge. The Independent gathered and published personal accounts from people affected by the storms, bringing firsthand accounts of not only the desolation but the heroism and bravery that followed.”

State of Play

Two seats are up because (a) Parker is departing to run for the SBCC board and (b) appointed incumbent Ulloa, chosen to fill the vacancy left when Monique Limón was elected to the Legislature, is running for the first time. At stake are a range of critical policies, from Matsuoka’s future and the maddeningly intractable “achievement gap” between white and Latino students to school safety strategies and fiscal concerns stemming from Peabody Stadium project cost overruns to a controversial $300,000 contract for “bias training” of teachers and staff. Here is how the field breaks down:

The Party’s Choice

Bidding to elect more partisan-backed candidates to nonpartisan offices, the county Democratic Party endorsed two favorites months before the filing deadline. The endorsements gave the pair a boost, serving as a political signifier for voters amid a field of unknowns and as a source of volunteers and other resources. Ismael Ulloa, a City College adviser, says key concerns are achieving “equity” in educational opportunities for students of color and improving “language access” for Latino

Education Confrontation Slates, Wildcards, and Dem Politics Shape S.B. School Board Race

Goleta Valley Library is hosting a Dyslexia Dialogue event at 2 p.m. on 9/30, the first in a series for parents to learn more about supporting dyslexic children and to create greater awareness of the learning disorder. In related news, Mainstay Care & Consultation is evaluating the Reading Intervention for Elementary Students with Dyslexia pilot project at Santa Barbara Unified School District, paid for with a $34,800 grant from the Santa Barbara Education Foundation.

The first public memorial honoring the victims of the Thomas Fire and 1/9 Debris Flow was unveiled on 9/20 at Corner Green park, a small lawn and fountain surrounded by trees and benches on the northeast corner of San Ysidro and East Valley roads. The bronze plaque also thanks first responders and community volunteers. The unveiling was hosted by the Montecito Community Foundation and the Montecito Association.

ELECTION 2018

by Jerry Roberts n 2016, exactly three candidates enlisted to run for three open seats on Santa Barbara’s Unified School District board, making them instant winners without the inconvenience of campaigning or even appearing on the ballot. Two years later, the political landscape has changed dramatically. Now, a field of eight candidates is competing for two seats, in one of the more important and expensive local races of the November 6 election. Much of the sudden interest may be traced to the board’s 4-to-1 vote last winter that backed Superintendent Cary Matsuoka’s sacking of popular San Marcos High School principal Ed Behrens, despite forceful community opposition. The episode highlighted the fact that none of the board’s five members was actually elected: Besides the three 2017 walkovers (Laura Capps, Jackie Reid, and Wendy Sims-Moten), a fourth (Ismael Ulloa) was appointed, while veteran Kate Parker also won without opposition, in 2014. “The San Marcos situation was super-emotional and seems to have been a catalyst for a desire for change,” said candidate Kate Ford, who’s backed by the San Marcos faction.

EDUCATION

COMMUNITY

he Friendship Paddle raised more than $182,000 for Cameron Benson, who has been fighting an aggressive Stage IV neuroendocrine cancer, currently in remission, since Christmas 2016. After spending the night on support boats at Santa Rosa Island’s Bechers Bay, 160 participants from 11 teams shoved off Sunday morning through a small chop that soon gave way to smooth seas across the channel to a beach landing in front of Santa Barbara Yacht Club, about 30 nautical miles. Another handful of supporters took a round-trip beach walk between the yacht club and Santa Barbara Lighthouse. “It was physically and emotionally exhausting and exhilarating at the same time,” said Benson, a husband, father of two, creeks manager for the City of Santa Barbara, and former executive director of the Environmental Defense Center.“The Friendship Paddle is just an incredibly uplifting community of people. I am grateful in the extreme.” —Keith Hamm

NEWS BRIEFS

CEO Eric Talkin (pictured) and the Foodbank of Santa Barbara County have rolled out emergency boxes, filled with provisions for one person for one week, plus a dust mask, first aid kit, emergency blanket, and small tool with a flashlight. The boxes cost $59, and for each one purchased, the Foodbank will donate one to a family in need. The food has a 25-year shelf life and includes oatmeal, Spanish rice, and potato soup, among other small meals — just add water. This year’s Pianos on State starts on 10/2 and will run for three weeks. Placed along lower State Street, pianos hand-painted by Santa Barbara artists will be available for “community exploration, impromptu play, and group performances,” according to exhibition host Santa Barbara County Office of Arts & Culture.

LAW & DISORDER Santa Barbara County had nearly 10,000 cases of unpaid child support in 2017, a loss to families totaling about $150 million annually. A new law — Assembly Bill 2802 — signed by the governor will require insurance payouts to be first used to pay any past-due child support payments. Last year, the county’s Child Support Services was able to collect and distribute $8.5 million from delinquent parents, said Joni Maiden, assistant director of the department.

Activist-Sculptor Bud Bottoms Dies PAU L WELLM AN F I LE PHOTO

ud Bottoms (pictured) may be most famous for designing the dolphin statues at Stearns Wharf. But during the great oil spill of 1969, it was Bottoms who came up with the expression “Get Oil Out!,” which would later become the name, GOO, of one of the environmental groups to emerge in the spill’s wake. Bottoms, 90, died this week, leaving a legacy of artistic and political activism spanning nearly 70 years. The son of a barber, Bottoms moved to Santa Barbara from Westwood in 1948 with his first wife, Betty, to attend UCSB.“You could say he was the original student who never left,” recalled his second wife, Carol Ann. After college, Bottoms worked as an illustrator for Robert Palmer Advertising Agency, during which time he designed the McDonald’s golden arches logo, he said, a claim disputed by the burger giant. He next worked for General Electric’s military-research think tank TEMPO (Technical Military Planning Operation). During that time, he and Betty raised four sons — Timothy, Ben, Joe, and Sam — all of whom would enjoy commercial success as on-screen actors. An avid outdoorsman, Bottoms loved diving, swimming, and fishing, activities he enjoyed well before the arrival of offshore oil platforms. “He really hated those,” his wife Carol Ann recounted. He hated them even more in 1969 when a cost-cutting measure taken at Union Oil’s platform off the coast resulted in an environmental disaster. “I just remember Bud being everywhere,” recalled former Santa Barbara mayor Hal Conklin, then a budding environmental activist. Bottoms knew everyone; he arranged for a young Paul Relis to get a bird’s-eye tour of the spill in a friend’s airplane. “That flyover changed my life,” said Relis, who, along with Conklin, would start the Community Environmental Council. Relis described the sense of humor Bottoms brought to his activism as “irrepressible and infectious.”

In the early 1970s, Bottoms divorced his wife, quit his job, and began studying art again, this time focusing on sculpture. In the early 1980s, he won a community design competition for artwork to be installed at the base of Stearns Wharf. His proposal was a precursor to the dolphins that were eventually placed. Santa Barbara’s art establishment vigorously disapproved—it was hotel lobby art, they sniffed — but when the matter went to the council, Bottoms packed the house with Chumash elders who burned sage and spoke in his support. Bottoms’s statue prevailed by a vote of 4 to 3. At the time, Bottoms had little idea how he would actually bring his concept to fruition. In 1984, while having his dolphins cast in Berkeley, Bottoms met Carol Ann, then a divinity student. Two years later, they would marry. Bottoms would focus on his dolphin art, building similar statues for Santa Barbara sister cities in Japan, Ireland, and Mexico. Along the way, he wrote several kids’ books on ethics and championed the cause of dolphin protection. The family is hosting a private memorial service; to date, no public remembrance has been scheduled. —Nick Welsh

SANTA BARBARA HEART & STROKE WALK Hilton Santa Barbara Beachfront Resort Saturday, September 29 Registration & Festivities Begin at 8:30 AM Local Sponsors

Amid last winter’s San Marcos Sturm und Drang, pro-Behrens parents organized a political committee now backing two other candidates. Mark Alvarado, a veteran S.B. activist, sharply criticizes the district’s treatment of Behrens (“They messed with his dignity”) and argues that incumbents are too passive in “cheerleading” for Matsuoka: “The main question is, What do they actually do? Aren’t they supposed to be asking questions?” Ford, the longtime principal of Peabody Charter School before she worked as a superintendent in Los Angeles, says her granular understanding of education policy would increase “transparency” of district operations and help bridge the achievement gap for “students of poverty and students of color.”

The Wild Cards

focus on “ignored populations and students who are marginalized.” Jim Gribble, a UCSB Gevirtz Graduate School of Education researcher currently working in Finland, says he wants to ensure the district “prepares students to compete in a global economy.” Bonnie Raisin, a retired real estate broker and fiscal conservative, says,“Trying to reach the lowest common denominator, including children who have not developed adequate language skills, we perhaps are neglecting maybe those who are achieving at higher levels.” Jill Rivera, a banking executive, stresses management and fiscal experience: “I look for opportunities to add value and improve operational efficiencies,” she said,“so I would take that lens and apply it to the school board.” You can see all the candidates on Newsmakers TV roundtables at newsmakerswithjr.com.

chures will add salt to those wounds: 55 percent of all Marc residents, the brochure boasts, made more than $150,000 a year; 22 percent made in excess of $200,000. The city’s high-density housing program was designed to target households making between $76,000 and $127,000 annually. City Hall is currently exploring new measures to reduce the income levels such housing projects should target to hit more of the so-called missing middle, households making less than $76,000 a year. To that end, the Planning Commission will soon consider a measure that would require up to 15 percent of all units developed through this program to be earmarked for renters in this lower income bracket. —Nick Welsh

By allowing developers to build more but smaller units, the intent was the construction of new rental units that would be “affordable by design.” The Marc — laden with amenities — proved controversial because it charged significantly higher than market-rate rents and was frequently cited by critics as proof the program couldn’t work.

MEDICINAL: The De la Vina doors of the Santa Barbara Collective medical marijuana dispensary opened earlier this week.

Second Pot Shop Opens in S.B.

he Santa Barbara Collective opened its doors on upper De la Vina Street this week, making it the second medical marijuana dispensary within city limits in as many months. City Hall also awarded adult recreational retail cannabis permits to three operators earlier this year, but none of those will open until sometime next year. It took the Collective nearly four years to open its doors, as it faced two appeals by neighbors concerned about crime and intoxicated riffraff. Such concerns were disputed not just by owner Ihab Ghannam but also by Santa Barbara Police spokesperson Anthony Wagner, who suggested the shop’s high-end wares would attract a more upscale clientele. Security requirements, however, are intense. Two security guards must be on the premises at any time, the front door is bulletproof, and the establishment is monitored by no fewer than 16 cameras. The Collective is licensed to sell to clientele 18 and older.

While there weren’t lines around the block the first day of business, Ghannam said, there was steady business. Ghannam said he will also offer home delivery. Like the owner of Canopy — a medical dispensary that opened recently on Milpas Street — Ghannam hopes to expand into the cannabis manufacturing business. Both medicinal dispensaries operate under rules unique to the City of Santa Barbara; first-time customers must present proof of identification and a doctor’s recommendation at least 24 hours before making the first purchase. Ghannam has lived in Santa Barbara since 2008 and has operated a tobacco and smoke shop on Milpas Street. He said he got into the cannabis trade after a relative of his was forced to deal with cancer, with regular runs to Los Angeles to get cannabis for pain management.“It made her feel much better,” he said, “but it was a long way to drive.” —Nick Welsh

IMAX at Macy’s?

owntown business leaders are calling for greater transparency around City Hall’s closed-door lease negotiations with Paseo Nuevo over the former Macy’s space, where a new IMAX theater may reportedly be installed. Given the intense public interest over State Street’s vacancy crisis — and the growing momentum to craft collaborative solutions — downtown stakeholders want to see more open dialogue over the fate of the massive retail space that will be critical to any revitalization efforts. There also exists intense skepticism that an IMAX theater will provide the general-appeal draw the area needs, given its high ticket prices and nighttime-focused programming. Mayor Cathy Murillo wouldn’t comment on the ongoing negotiations, stating only that “the city is working hard to secure a lease that boosts the vitality of the mall, the downtown in general, and the entire city.” Meanwhile, last week, the City Council voted to continue with its Accelerate pro-

gram, an initiative launched last year to expedite the permitting and approval process for State Street tenants. While the commercial vacancy rate today is the same as it was last year — 11 percent, according to the city — councilmembers said they believed in the strategy and its ability to bear fruit in the future. During the hearing, downtown property owners Jim Knell and Richard Berti — whose retail holdings make up an exceptionally large portion of State Street, and whose reputations as especially difficult landlords are well-known — complained about the program, and they took their characteristically acerbic tones with the council. “It’s a battle to do business with you people,” Knell said. “You don’t cooperate.” Berti agreed. “I think things are too slow. … I am about to do things without a permit.” Councilmember Gregg Hart cautioned that the vacancies cannot be blamed on any one issue and that all downtown interests must cooperate to find —Tyler Hayden the answers.

NEWS BRIEFS CONT’D FROM P. 9 Thieves have found easy pickings at Santa Barbara parks when people leave purses and wallets inside their cars, with recent burglaries at Elings, Shoreline, Chase Palm, and other city parks. The driver’s door is usually forced, said police spokesperson Anthony Wagner, and the thieves have taken cash and credit cards. Folks living along the freshly paved Highway 1 between Highway 101 and Lompoc saw three fatal car accidents in one week along a five-mile stretch. The most recent, around 2:20 p.m. on 9/24, killed Lompoc’s Linda Bailey, 72, as she drifted into the opposite lane, striking an oncoming pickup, whose two occupants were reportedly uninjured. Oxnard resident Alfredo Martinez, 73, died on 9/21 when his pickup was struck head-on by Lompoc resident Bryan P. Charette, 35, who was reportedly intoxicated, speeding, and making illegal passing maneuvers, according to authorities. On 9/17, Elaine Ventura, 66, died after drifting into the oncoming lane, colliding with a van driven by Juan Romero, 47, who sustained major injuries. “On that one, all signs point to cell phone use,” said a CHP spokesperson. A fourth accident, with no fatalities, occurred Tuesday morning. A man who had climbed atop the 101 overpass at Turnpike Road on 9/23 was talked down by sheriff’s deputies, who focused on the 48-year-old Oxnard man as the California Highway Patrol stopped highway traffic. The Sheriff’s Office said the man had threatened to jump after he’d tied a piece of cloth to his neck and to a sign support. After about 20 minutes of conversation, the man untied himself, sat back from the edge, and was helped down by a County Fire ladder truck.

Ongoing: Pini Property Fights PAU L WELLM AN F I LE PHOTO

hile epic battles continue between attorneys in the receivership of Dario Pini’s rental properties, one of his tenants is fed up. “We knew what to expect with Dario,” said Skyler Prophet,“but Trigild is completely absentee when you try to get ahold of them.” Trigild— a San Diego company whose CEO, William Hoffman, was appointed by the court to bring Pini’s properties up to code—manages seven of the apartment complexes. Prophet has lived at Pini’s Los Aguajes apartments, a stucco complex four blocks from the beach and next to the railroad tracks, for two and a half years with his wife and their dog. It’s come to feel like home, he said. Pini had appreciated Prophet’s work on the property, like his gardening and trash pickup, and Prophet said he could bargain rent for repairs he’d made. Trigild has been a different animal, Prophet said. “I don’t know how to make them behave.” When Prophet complained about Trigild workers trampling his plants, maintenance supervisor Tony Martinez told Prophet he didn’t own anything and had no right to plant a garden. The supervisor made it clear Prophet could move if he didn’t like it. It’s been five months since Trigild came in, Prophet added, and the laundry machines still don’t drain, only five windows in the 17-unit complex have screens, and workers leaving notices to enter the building sometimes don’t show up. The last is a hardship for Prophet, who works three

Sex Sting Leads to 17 Arrests in Goleta osing as women soliciting sex for money, undercover sheriff ’s officers on September 20-21 posted online ads and offered to meet potential takers at a Goleta motel. The two-day sting resulted in 17 arrests, the youngest being 19-year-old Joshua Silverstein of Santa Barbara and the oldest being 78-year-old Frank Palmer of Goleta. The operation was part of a larger effort against human trafficking countywide. “Sometimes [criminals] don’t think women are trafficking victims, but most of the time they are,” said Brian Olmstead, head of the Santa Barbara County Sheriff ’s Office Human Trafficking Task Force. As the county learns more about human trafficking, it’s becoming evident that most women are being forced or coerced into prostitution — which reclassifies those women not as willing participants but victims of human trafficking. The number of human trafficking victims has grown in the county over the past

two years. In the last five years, the task force has noticed a significant increase in the number of online ads, said Olmstead. “It’s just exploded.” There was a slight decline because of the shutdown of backpage.com, a popular prostitution website, but that only encouraged other sites to open space for sex ads, said Olmstead. The task force’s current focus is on “demand reduction,” he added. “We’re trying to make it so that no one traffics here.” The 17 men arrested were booked and released with a notice to appear for solicitation of prostitution, a misdemeanor. While not all the men’s criminal histories were run, Olmstead believes it is the first prostitution violation for the majority of them. The maximum penalty is six months in jail and/or a $1,000 fine. More often than not, first-time offenders serve no jail time. Defendants can also make deals or plea agreements with the court to reduce their penalty. —Blanca Garcia

n assessment of the performance of the county’s Office of Emergency Management (OEM) during the Thomas Fire and the 1/9 Debris Flow, in which 23 people were killed, found the response of the department and its partner agencies to be overall “satisfactory.” The state-mandated After Action Report (AAR), carried out by an Illinois-based consulting firm hired by the OEM and still in draft form, also pinpointed a number of lessons learned. Among the “primary strengths” of the OEM during the twin disasters, the report states, were “robust information sharing” within its information center; the distribution of “relevant and timely” maps to the public; the establishment of a call center “to increase situational awareness”; and the “execution of a robust public health response.” The department’s “opportunities for improvement” were, among others, to “formalize and socialize” evacuation planning; to “refine and enhance” emergency public information and warnings; and to increase collaboration with local government partners. The AAR makes 54 specific recommendations involving planning, training, personnel, and equipment. It can be read in full at independent.com. Only obliquely referenced in the report were the multiple instances of communication failures from the OEM to Montecito residents ahead of and during the deadly debris flow. The results of an ongoing public study conducted by Alabama researchers have found that residents were confused by the department’s conflicting warnings and unclear language. The AAR makes no mention of the 23 lives lost during the debris flow, nor the fact that 19 of the victims lived in a “voluntary” evacuation zone. County spokesperson Gina DePinto said the county and the OEM welcomes the “AAR process as it gives us touch points to improve upon.” She said the study was expedited to ensure improvements were identified and made before this winter season, and that a separate report on alerting and communications will be presented to the board of Supervisors in October.

By all reckoning, the Nevada Senate race is the tightest in the country — declared too close to call by all established prognosticators — with Rosen nominally ahead by less than a percentage point. “This looks to be the most flippable district in the country right now,” declared Deborah Rogow, a party activist helping to spearhead the effort.

Just Communities Refutes Racism Charge A

ttorney Eric Early, a Republican candidate for California Attorney General who got 943,071 votes in the June primary, told the Board of Education at its September 11 meeting that Santa Barbara Unified School District’s ongoing agreement with the Just Communities Central Coast (JCCC) nonprofit to provide classroom training in diversity, equity, and inclusion may land the district on the receiving end of a lawsuit filed on behalf of a group of anonymous parents. The JCCC curriculum, they contend, “is radical, discriminatory, and illegal,” Early said, referring to a packet of JCCC instructional material that defined racism and oppression specifically as white people targeting people of color, for example. In a September 21 follow-up letter to district counsel, Early wrote, “Teachers, parents and students have confidentially expressed their concerns that JCCC’s discriminatory curriculum has led to increased racial animosity toward Caucasian teachers and students.” In a press release Monday, JCCC Executive Director Jarrod Schwartz said,“After taking the time to review the materials and the claims, we now feel comfortable stating that many of the materials claimed to be ours have in fact been altered. Things described as being said or taking place during our workshops run counter to our curriculum, approach, and philosophy. At best, our work is being misrepresented; at worst, it is being distorted and doctored to support the claim that we are somehow antiwhite and anti-Christian.”

Stress Management: simple strategies to minimize stress

MAKING GOOD ON A PROMISE: Homeless rights advocate Peter Marin’s (right) lawsuit argues that the city’s ban on oversized vehicles is discriminatory.

Fighting City Hall

Homeless Rights Advocates Sue over Oversized Vehicle Ordinance by Nick Welsh or nearly two years now, longtime homeless rights advocate Peter Marin has been threatening to sue the City of Santa Barbara over an ordinance prohibiting oversized vehicles from parking on city streets. Late last week, Marin and his Committee for Social Justice organization made good on that threat, filing a federal civil rights complaint on behalf of 24 individuals who live in their RVs. Marin has argued the city’s ordinance that bans oversized vehicles — defined as any vehicle bigger than 80 inches wide, 82 inches high, or 25 feet long — was passed in 2016 to provide city police the legal pretext to chase RV dwellers out of town while maintaining the appearance that they’re acting to enhance traffic safety for motorists. When the City Council voted to adopt the ordinance, it did so on the grounds that oversized vehicles blocked sight lines of motorists, cyclists, and pedestrians, thus making the roads more hazardous. Marin and his attorney, Russell Brown, argue that the law is inherently discriminatory because it offers a host of exemptions to many classes of oversized vehicles — delivery vans, contractor vans, tour buses—that are not available to people who happen to live in their RVs. Among the plaintiffs are about five who suffer from chronic disabilities. Some fit stereotypes of being rough around the edges, and so too are their vehicles. During last Friday’s press conference in front of City Hall, one of the plaintiffs drove his beat-up RV around De la Guerra Plaza, honking his horn.“I get that I don’t want that guy parked in front of my house,” noted Brown, “but restrictions that say you can’t park anywhere are unreasonable.” The Constitution gives all citizens the right to travel wherever they choose, Brown argued, but the city ordinance effectively bans a class of people from the streets of Santa Barbara. At night, many of the plaintiffs park their RVs in city lots managed by the Safe Parking Program. Spaces, however, are limited, and

the rules of conduct are restrictive. Guests, for example, are not allowed. This rule, Brown argued, violated the constitutional rule right to free assembly. Brown grew up in Goleta and attended local public schools. He argued that the law was crafted in the first place to be a neutralseeming measure that could withstand legal challenge by activists like Marin, who’ve argued laws explicitly targeting the poor are unconstitutional. Marin and City Hall have, in fact, been playing legal cat-and-mouse games over previous efforts to restrict RV parking in certain neighborhoods for nearly 20 years. While Marin hasn’t won such skirmishes, he’s proved a stubborn adversary and an effective nuisance. The new ordinance emerged out of those legal battles. But when it was drafted, owners of larger Sprinter-style vans — many in the contracting business — came out of the woodwork. The Chamber of Commerce likewise assailed the ordinance, claiming it was anti-business. Exemptions were included to assuage such concerns. Permits could be applied for, but only in parking spots that didn’t block the sanctity of the sight lines. Marin and Brown objected that the ordinance has become yet another weapon in a war waged against poor people. First, they complained, RV dwellers are given tickets they can’t afford to pay—$48 a pop. Once five tickets accumulate unpaid, police can have the offending vehicles towed. The cost of towing is $810 plus a $100-per-day impound fee and a $160 release fee. By comparison, Brown stated, the towing charge on other impound tickets is only $550— more evidence, he argued, of the ordinance’s discriminatory purpose. About five RVs to date have been towed. City Attorney Ariel Calonne said the ordinance was crafted with the expectation Marin would file a lawsuit. He deferred comment on the challenge until after he met with the council in closed session to discuss the n litigation.

HOPE SPRINGS ETERNAL: By the time you read this, it might already be too late. Brett Kavanaugh will be on his way to becoming the next Supreme Court justice. There’s a lot

tainly, this week’s proceedings pale in contrast to the so-called confirmation hearings held in 1991, when Anita Hill found herself pilloried as “a little bit nutty and a little bit slutty” for detailing Clarence Thomas’s pornographically explicit reveries about what his “Long Dong Silver” could do. At that time, the Hill hearings seemed an egregious miscarriage of justice; the decision was made by the all-male committee to call none of the witnesses who might have been able to corroborate Hill’s testimony. And they certainly existed. Compared to what’s about to happen now, the Hill proceedings set the gold standard for judicial integrity. When Hill’s allegations surfaced, the FBI immediately was called in to investigate. Not so with Ford. Not so with Ramirez. And not so with Mark Judge —Kavanaugh’s former classmate and drinking buddy at Georgetown Prep who has since hobbled together a semi-journalistic career writing about having been a blackout drunk. No independent investigation has been conducted. Neither Judge nor Ramirez will be called to testify. The lesson Republicans learned from Hill was to avoid the bad optics that arise when a roomful of hostile men interrogates a woman about sex crimes that they don’t want to believe occurred but don’t really care if they did. Accordingly, they hired what McConnell indelicately referred to as a “female assistant” —an Arizona prosecuting attorney who specializes in sex crimes—to question Ford. By

we don’t know about Kavanaugh, but one thing is certain: He is no Atticus Finch. Atticus Finch is the courageous lawyer and heroically decent father figure who stood up for the rule of law in the pages of Harper Lee’s To Kill a Mockingbird, the best-selling book that came out in 1961 as white Americans were waking up to a civil rights movement. The beneficiary of white male privilege, Kavanaugh was born four years after the book’s release. Based on the totality of anecdotal accounts now seeping out, it seems he never got around to reading it. We’ll never know for sure whether Kavanaugh is guilty of attempted rape as a drunken 17-year-old lout—as alleged by Christine Blasey Ford —or of outright sexual assault as an aggressive and belligerent drunk 18-year-old adult—as alleged by his Yale classmate Deborah Ramirez. And now a third woman has come forward. These are criminal questions for which the statute of limitations long ago expired. In the meantime, Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell and the rest of the Republican party leadership have moved heaven and earth to ensure nothing resembling a trial ever takes place. To call what they propose a kangaroo court would defame kangaroos. Cer-

reputation, this “female assistant” is an accomplished prosecutor and serious person. She will, however, have been given next to no time to prepare. Likewise, she will be given next to no time to ask her questions: just 55 minutes. That’s still more than the 50 minutes committee leadership has afforded Democrats on the panel. McConnell — never evidently troubled by any sense of shame — has vowed to “plow on through” with the vote by Friday. Thus, we’re left with an exceptionally grim picture of the young Kavanaugh as an out-ofcontrol binge drinker and mean drunk who embraced jock-frat-culture misogyny with both hands and his pants down around his ankles. There was his membership at Yale in the pseudo secret society Truth and Courage, better known as “Tits and Clits.” In 2011, Yale administrators would suspend this “club” for five years after videos surfaced showing members chanting, “No means yes and yes means anal.” He belonged to a fraternity whose members paraded around campus carrying flags made of women’s underwear. Kavanaugh’s high school yearbook page contained not-sosubliminal boasts of having had sex with a specific young girl from a nearby Catholic school, as did the yearbook pages of 12 of his fellow football team members. Maybe you could write all this off to boys being boys, excepting, of course, that just this year, Judge Kavanaugh did everything in his power to delay a 17-year-old Central American refugee from

getting an abortion. If Kavanaugh was insistent that she pay for a youthful error in judgement, shouldn’t he be held to the same standard?

There’s little evidence that in the ensuing years the tiger has changed its stripes. Kavanaugh would later clerk for Ninth Circuit Judge Alex Kozinski, who was just forced to “retire” last year after allegations surfaced that he forced women employees to watch porn on his computer and then asked if they found it arousing. Kozinski was infamous for the porn-infused “Easy Rider” gag email chains he sent far and wide. When Kavanaugh was nominated to the Circuit Court bench, Kozinski was leadoff hitter testifying on his behalf. Kozinski’s son worked for Kavanaugh. So when Kavanaugh denies any knowledge of Kozinski’s well-known predilections—he claims to have been “gut-punched” by the revelations—it has no credibility. Kavanaugh was interviewed at length this week on Fox News with his wife by his side. It was weird. He was a good man, he stressed. He never raped or sexually assaulted anyone. He was still a virgin at the time. He wanted a fair process and to clear his name. Had it been Atticus Finch, he would have insisted the FBI conduct a thorough investigation. Kavanaugh had to be asked. He ducked. Like Kavanaugh, I am the product of a Catholic school education. Accordingly, I believe in Hail Mary passes. Translated, that means anything can theoretically still happen, though in all probability, it won’t. Like I said, Brett Kavanaugh is no Atticus Finch. — Nick Welsh

Bradley Mark Palley

Sonja Lane

Brad left us too soon but in his 34 years, he fit in a lot of living. He traveled in Europe, Israel and other places, mastered two languages and enjoyed sharing his tales and hearing his friends' stories. Whether it was about sports, literature or politics, Brad was passionate in his discussions. A native Santa Barbarian, Brad also enjoyed the Bay Area with its wide variety of activities and ethnic food. He attended Beit Hayalidim, Laguna Blanca, Santa Barbara Middle School, San Marcos High School and the University of Oregon. He lettered in baseball and water polo in high school. Brad's passion for sports began with T-Ball. Always a Yankee fan and a Dead Head, he was at Yankee Stadium the day Jerry Garcia died. He inherited his love of music and travel from his mother and his dad's enjoyment of cycling, swimming and long walks. Brad had a special kindness with his pets and they loved him back. He enjoyed the History Channel and philosophic discussions. He was a prolific reader and was proud of finally finishing War and Peace. Brad was generous with his friends, had a strong code of ethics and he liked doing things "my way." Reading and solving difficult crossword puzzles were two of his many pleasures. In his younger years he thrived on playing baseball and as the years went by watching football was a high priority. He'll be watching from above and making the calls before the ref. Unfortunately, he suffered from degenerative disc disease and experienced great discomfort. This affected his mental health as well. Wishing you comfort and peace now dear Brad. He is survived by his loving parents Jeff and Madelyn Silver Palley. As an only child Brad treasured his cousins Aaron and Thea Palley. They shared many good times. He leaves many others who loved him. In lieu of flowers, donations may be made in Brad's memory to Congregation Bnai Brith, 1000 San Antonio Creek Rd., Santa Barbara, CA 93111 or your favorite charity. Graveside services will be Friday, Sept 28, 11 am at Santa Barbara Cemetery, 901 Channel Drive.

In the early 1970s, Sonja began working on the Catalogue Of The Literary Estate of Arnold Schoenberg. Her completed work was then used as an inventory when the Schoenberg archives were donated to the University of Southern California. Both before and after the loss of her husband Samuel Lane, Sonja volunteered for many years in the community, including both at Food Bank & for 20 years at LotusLand in both orchard, the gift ship, & hospitality . She was also a member of The Lotus Society. At her side when she passed was Jace Miller, her close companion of 40 years, with whom Sonja often travelled, under sail and by road, exploring the American southwest and Mexico. Sonja is survived by a sister in Santa Barbara, and extended family in Germany.

Eileen “Marty” Silverman

06/03/50-09/22/18

A long time ago, Eileen “Marty” Silverman moved to New Orleans. This was Marty’s first experience in a southern city, let alone the raucous, musical French Quarter of the 1970s. The day she arrived, she was so captivated by “the scene,” she kicked off her heels and began to dance down the street. Seeing her shoeless, a local man admonished her. “Hey! Don’t be such a turkey!” he yelled, suggesting she put her shoes back on. Instead, Marty laughed and instantly retorted, “I’m no turkey, but I sure can strut!” And she continued to parade down Bourbon Street, shoeless, dancing every step of the way. That was our Marty… Born Eileen Martin in Philadelphia, PA on June 3, 1950, Marty came into this world with grace, intelligence and an unparalleled exuberance for life. She was a warm, sweet, brave, and selfless woman, who was quick to laugh, easy to like, and even easier to love. She wanted to play in, be challenged by, and enjoy this amazing gift called life. Marty felt blessed everyday that she could share this gift with her husband, Joel. Their life, their special love, and their family was the greatest source of happiness and pride for her. You learned from Marty that to be great, was to be good. To be happy, was to be proud of oneself and to know love. Marty was a

INDEPENDENT.COM

remarkable person who lived to inspire and help others; a trait that her family benefited from, most of all. She successfully created a home filled with music, singing, dancing, laughter, and so much love. Marty had an innate beauty based in kindness and managed to exist on a level that most people only dream of. She was always positive, even in the darkest of times. She was playful and smart, goofy and passionate, strong, and unbelievably wise. Marty was a wife, mother, grandmother, sister, aunt, great aunt, teacher, lawyer, and humanitarian. She was one of the first co-eds to graduate from Villanova University and after doing so in just three years, she moved to New York and began working for a company called Modern Maid. Marty was always a trailblazer and not only did she turn heads as a female factory manager, she also was one of the first women in the country to operate IBM computers at a corporate level. Later she graduated from Southwestern Law School and began working for the Los Angeles District Attorney’s office, all while contemporaneously raising three girls. Marty was passionate about “the sisterhood” and always tried to help bolster her female colleagues. She was a voracious reader who loved her book club (and book club friends) very much. She enjoyed being a “Ukulele Lulu,” was a 20 year (plus) member of C.A.L.M., and President of the Assistance League in Santa Barbara. She felt her experience with the Assistance League was among the most rewarding times of her life. She believed they did the work of angels, always signing her emails with the phrase, “Angels fly because they take themselves lightly.” On September 22, 2018, Eileen “Marty” Silverman passed away peacefully at her home in Santa Barbara surrounded by her loving family. She was 68 years old. Marty is survived by her husband Joel, daughters Jackie, Mika, and Piper (PJ), as well as her grandchildren Asher and Riley. She will be laid to rest in a private service for family and will then immediately depart to fly with the angels. Fly on, Marty. In lieu of flowers, memorial donations may be made to the Assistance League of Santa Barbara. A memorial service will be held at the La Cumbre Country Club on Friday, October 5, from 12-2pm. Address: 4015 Via Laguna, Santa Barbara, CA 93110.

OPINIONS CONT’D

Missing Dr. Van Hamilton

he passing of Dr. Van Hamilton is a great loss to Santa Barbara County. During the 25 years that Dr. Hamilton was my primary care physician, I relied on his expertise, compassion, knowledge, and patience through several serious health issues. He was always thoughtful and caring. I relied on him to tell me the truth about my health problems and to help me cope with whatever came into my life. When I first met him, we would often discuss the books we had read. He was a great listener and didn’t follow the protocol that suggested he only take 15 minutes per appointment. Besides being a kind man, he was a wonderful diagnostician. Once, when my husband was waiting for an appointment, Dr. Hamilton was walking down the hall on his lunch hour. He asked my husband why we were there. Justin told him the symptoms he was having, and Dr. Hamilton instantly diagnosed his condition correctly! Another time I came to see him and told him I had a pain in the middle of my chest; he discovered I had an ulcer from taking too many nonsteroidal antiinflammatory drugs. Before Dr. Hamilton retired, I could see he was in a great deal of pain, but he took care of me and didn’t want to stop seeing patients. My husband and I will miss him. We thank his family for allowing us to be privy to his personal and caring demeanor. —Ann and Justin Ruhge, Lompoc

Tame the RVs

n my 30 years in Santa Barbara, I’ve observed that downtown residential streets have become overcrowded with vehicles parked on the street for many reasons. A number of very large, old houses have been converted into rental units. Most offer no off-street parking, and tenants have to park on the street. Also, some single-family homes have two or more families in residence. These properties either have no off-street parking or garages or driveways that are used for storage. As many as five vehicles from one household park on the street. And there are people with old fixer-upper vehicles who store their vehicles, up to six of them for some, on streets two blocks away from their home. In addition to the foregoing, many of the older streets are narrow. When vehicles park on both sides of the road, two coming along that street in different directions cannot pass each other. One has to give way.

Add to that the cyclists who ride side-by-side on streets with no bike lanes. And the city wants to throw large recreational vehicles into the mix and allow them to park on the street? Don’t drivers in this town already have enough dangers and hazards to cope with? Please, no RVs on Santa Barbara city streets. —Yvon Douran, S.B.

Finding Some Heart

he beginning of the last Indy left me slightly despondent. Another round in the perennial tussle between immigrant dreams and enforcement’s fist. Another dance among our street people, those trying to help them, and public agencies with “limited funds” to do so. Another duel between empty storefronts, property-commodity speculators, and retail entrepreneurs with stars in their eyes. One more brouhaha at stellar SBCC among its talented president, lawyers, and a few vain faculty with inflated personalities. Tuesdays now reveal a local government Public Comment cacophony of complaint. Sometimes, with our higher gas/cable prices, ruder drivers, and lofty mortgage and lease prices, I wonder, “Is this still worth it?” But then came pages 35 and 37, where Paul Wellman and Starshine Roshell told the stories of Cameron Benson and Lois Capps: two neighbors daily facing life’s toughest challenges with valor, grace, and heart. And I realized that this area still hosts people like that and also journalists who care about our community and fight to tell their stories in ways that matter.

AN INTERVIEW WITH

PAUL WELLMAN

WYNTON MARSALIS LEGENDARY MUSICIAN TALKS ANIMALS, ABSTRACTION IN ART, AND JAZZ’S ROLE IN THE WORLD

verything old is new again. From the 1920s through the 1940s, the art of jazz revolved around the music of the great big bands. Led by men like Duke Ellington, Count Basie, Earl Hines, Fletcher Henderson, and Benny Goodman, these large ensembles typically divided 10 or more musicians into four sections: trumpets, trombones, saxophones, and rhythm. Although the styles of jazz these groups played varied widely, there was, especially in the golden era of the later 1930s and early 1940s, one element common to them all, a quality called “swing”— the pulsing groove that drove dancers all over the world to previously unimagined heights of ecstatic communion with each other and the music. On Saturday, September 29, Wynton Marsalis, the preeminent jazz bandleader of our time, and the Jazz at Lincoln Center Orchestra (JLCO), a veteran ensemble thoroughly schooled in every aspect of the big band and orchestral traditions, will take the Granada stage for the opening event of the 2018-19 UCSB Arts & Lectures season. While Marsalis and the JLCO are familiar to audiences in Santa Barbara—thanks to Arts & Lectures, they have been coming here since 2001 — this show, an evening-length presentation titled Spaces, introduces an element that is at once brand-new and as old as the big band tradition itself, namely the presence of virtuosic dancers as soloists: the jook master Lil Buck and the tap genius Jared Grimes. Marsalis has been breaking through cultural barriers for decades. It’s amazing to realize that it’s been more than 20 years since he became the first nonclassical composer to win the Pulitzer Prize, an honor he received in 1997 for Blood on

the Fields, an ambitious vocal-orchestral suite about American slavery. Since then, he’s been involved in dozens of important projects, most notably the construction of a permanent home for the Jazz at Lincoln Center program, the 100,000-squarefoot Frederick P. Rose Hall at Columbus Circle in New York City. When it opened in 2004, this magnificent facility became the first performance, education, and broadcast venue in the world devoted to jazz. Just a few blocks north of Carnegie Hall, Rose Hall stands as a confirmation in bricks and mortar of the permanent position jazz occupies at the heart of American culture, and it would not exist without either the vision and artistry of Marsalis or the collective genius of the musicians of the JLCO. Never content to rest on his laurels, Marsalis continues to create musical compositions on a grand scale and to tour the world spreading his message that jazz can change your life. In addition to his remarkable gifts as a musician and composer, the bandleader enjoys a prodigious gift for words. Marsalis, who is known for speaking his mind when it comes to calling out racism in whatever form he sees it, has been an outspoken critic of certain aspects of hip-hop, specifically those he perceives as inauthentic minstrelsy intended to amuse and titillate a largely white audience. When he appeared on Washington Post columnist Jonathan Capehart’s podcast last May, he caught some flak for comparing hip-hop’s misogyny and gangsta poses to Confederate statues, saying the following: “My words are not that powerful. I started saying in 1985 I don’t think we should have a music talking about niggers and bitches and hoes. It had no impact. I’ve said it. I’ve repeated it. I still repeat it. To me, that’s more damaging than a statue of Robert E. Lee.” UCSB Arts & Lectures presents Wynton Marsalis and Regardless of whether he is expressthe Jazz at Lincoln Center Orchestra with Lil Buck ing his concerns about rap or celebratand Jared Grimes in Spaces on Saturday, September ing a fellow jazz musician’s achievement, 29, 8 p.m., at The Granada Theatre (1214 State Marsalis is never at a loss for words.

and unexpected clauses mirrors the invention he achieves with his trumpet. Marsalis is without question the greatest popular exponent of musical knowledge in American history since Leonard Bernstein, and it’s a fitting tribute to the centenary of the latter figure that not only will we have the opportunity this weekend to hear the wonderful music that Marsalis has composed for Spaces, but that we will also get to savor his unique and personal way with words as he narrates the various movements of the piece. When I spoke with him recently by phone, Marsalis was preparing to perform Spaces in Los Angeles, and the conversation ranged widely, covering not only his intentions for the present piece but also his long history with UCSB Arts & Lectures, the proper balance between abstraction and representation in art, and the responsibility of the artist in the modern world. What follows is an edited transcript of that conversation. The work you are bringing to Santa Barbara puts two dancers and 15 musicians to work portraying 10 different animals, from chickens and monkeys to elephants, nightingales, and frogs. Why is it called Spaces, and what made the subject of animals appealing to you? I called it Spaces because it is about the space that animals live in — not only the space that they inhabit, but also the space that they teach us about by how they live and move. The work portrays the physical, spiritual, and emotional spaces that animals create and that they share with us. The animal archetype has been of service to humans since Aesop’s fables, serving to educate, entertain, and expand our understanding of the world. We have a long-term relationship with animals, and even though now we usually only see dogs and cats on a regular basis, other animals go on appearing in our mythology. When you are a kid, you read book after book with just animals —hippos, pigs, Kermit the Frog; I mean, we could go on indefinitely just listing children’s stories with animals. Winnie-the-Pooh, Paddington the bear. Certain types of animals create certain kinds of space. Big animals create one kind of space; little animals create another type of space. And then there’s the human relationship to animals — Beethoven, Lassie — we could go on and on.

What do animals have to offer jazz, or what specifically does jazz have to offer the subject of animals? Jazz is an art form, so it’s connected to everything that’s human. Anything a human being can conceive of or imagine, anything that has to do with human interaction, that has to do with creativity and creation, is in the province of jazz. It’s not possible to find a human thing without some connection to jazz, because that’s just how art forms are. Also, an art form that includes as many people as jazz — where to participate all you have to do is learn how to play an instrument — that’s a situation where you’re going to have a lot of different people involved.

In your book Moving to Higher Ground: How Jazz Can Change Your Life, you write about the negative impact of too much abstraction on avantgarde jazz. Is the representational direction of these pieces, which portray the animals through recognizable sounds and movements, a reaction against too much abstraction? No, not really. If you look closely at the pieces, you’ll see that the first half of most of them are abstractions; it’s often the second half that is much more concrete. I don’t think that the abstract world fights with the concrete world. I feel there’s a natural balance between the two. But

Speaking of Duke Ellington, I know that he liked to write music with specific members of his orchestra in mind. Do you do that? Sure, I write for the players we have. Victor Goines, who has been 25 years in the band, I give him stuff I know is complicated, or sometimes a ballad, for his instrument, the clarinet. Ted Nash, I have him on “A Nightingale,” where he plays a kind of late-night, sweet alto. I have [alto saxophonist] Sherman Irby play stuff that comes from the church or is really deep, things that require both a deep blues feeling and bebop sophistication. He has a battle plan of his own. [Trumpeter] Ryan Kisor plays with a lyrical sweetness and harmonic intelligence. And what about you? Do you compose for your own voice, or do you just play? [Laughs.] I just take whatever is left over. The trumpet section, we get together and talk it over, and that will kind of determine who gets what. I know you have a long history with UCSB Arts & Lectures and with the organization’s director, Celesta Billeci. Could you say a few words about that? Man, I’ve known Celesta since she was a baby, just starting out. We kind of came up in the same time period. I knew her from the very beginning of her career. I always loved her because she has consistently been so intense and for real. She’s like a force of nature. Now we’ve been out here doing this for, I don’t know, 30 years or whatever it is, and when I look at her now I have to smile, because it reminds me of, in those early days, how much of a believer she was in the arts and in bringing people deep experiences. She is so absolutely for real. Her name is always the first one that comes out of my mouth whenever people talk about presenting arts organizations or arts programs on college campuses or arts management. She is the absolute gold standard for this type of work, and even when she was a kid, she had that kind of dedication. COURTESY

Anything a human being can conceive of or imagine, anything that has to do with human interaction, that has to do with creativity and creation, is in the province of jazz.

when there’s an insistent avant-garde motion toward abstraction, I ask: Why? Why does a chromatic scale make a triad obsolete? That’s not how we live our lives. We don’t say, “I like the way a cocktail tastes, so I’m going to stop drinking coffee” or “I like reading James Joyce, so I’m not going to read the comics again.” You don’t need to be abstract to have validity in art. Pablo Picasso was one of the first in the visual-art world to say, “I can do all of this stuff.” When he went away from cubism as his only direction, he was saying, “I can continue to do this, and I can do other things.” And I think a person like Duke Ellington was always there, because his music was made for audiences who were coming out to hear him for many different reasons. Some were there to dance, while some were seeking other pleasures, and his music was based on keeping all those people happy. He didn’t have the luxury of academic discussion of everything he did.

Is it interesting to look back and reflect on the way that someone you have known for decades has grown and changed? You know it is, and it is actually funny [laughs], because you don’t know it’s going to be like that.

illusion that is so heavy that you can’t get out of it. Questions like, Who am I fighting and why? become both constant and impossible to answer. We will do it again next year in Chicago. The libretto is dark, but the music that goes along with it is kind of happy.

In 2016, you performed a long work called The Abyssinian Mass. I recently heard a recording of that piece, and I was deeply impressed not only by the seriousness of the content but also by the swing of the music. How did that come about? Reverend Calvin O. Butts [pastor of the Abyssinian Baptist Church in Harlem] asked me to write something to celebrate the church’s anniversary. The first time we did it, we struggled. It’s a challenging work, but my friends David and Thelma Steward, they supported the piece. They took that leap of faith. Pieces like that take support, because it’s hard to make things on that scale happen. We actually have 15 of these longer pieces, some of them by me and some by other members of the orchestra, and we plan to begin releasing recordings of them over the next few years. It’s something I’m really proud of, and it’s also something that’s really hard to do, so thank you for mentioning it.

You have come a long way, from winning back-to-back Grammys in multiple categories when you were still in your early twenties to being an international icon today. Will you reflect on that journey? You know, I made a lot of sacrifices, especially in my personal life, to accomplish what I have, but it’s been such a blessing to play with all these unbelievable musicians over the years, and that has more than compensated. The bottom line is that I am grateful, and I want to prove my gratitude by being for real. As long as I can breathe, I am going to prove my gratitude by my work ethic and by helping the people I believe in to produce the music that’s in them. It’s been a blessing.

In a recent podcast with Jonathan Capehart of the Washington Post, you made some remarks about hip-hop and how you feel that some aspects of that music have been damaging to the culture at large. I won’t ask you to comment on that, but I did want to acknowledge that I admire your willingness to take a stand when it comes to aesthetics and morality. Oh, I don’t mind if you ask about that. I’m not looking for likes on Facebook. I’m out here in the community, and I see the effect that it’s having on kids. And I’m not talking about the whole art form, just one aspect of it. These people who misconstrue that, who insist that I’ve got something against all hip-hop music and not just the negative aspects, I don’t care what they think and say about me. Last spring, you introduced a substantial new piece called The Ever Fonky Lowdown that expresses some of your opinions about culture and society. From what I have read, in it you are examining the ways in which people become trapped by false realities. When people agree on something that’s not true, then others live with the consequences. Is that an accurate description of what you are saying? Yes, that’s pretty good. It’s about what happens when you are living within an

After starting in the late 1980s with just a few concerts per year, you built Jazz at Lincoln Center not only into a great organization but also into a great venue on Columbus Circle. How does that feel? It feels great. There’s no way I could have known we were going to do all that when we started. There were so many people working in so many ways to realize this dream. I was only one part of it. On Friday morning, September 28, you and the orchestra will be presenting a young people’s program at the Granada for more than 1,000 schoolchildren. What’s that about? This one is called “What Is Monk?,” and it is our third or fourth education event that we have done on our visits here. We’re going to talk about Thelonious Monk, about his characteristics and his vision, and the musicians and I will be demonstrating his music. Ultimately, the lesson concerns the values that Monk represents, which are the core values of jazz. First comes having the integrity of being yourself, which is something that Monk excelled at. Then there’s the importance of having people in your life who believe in you. That’s what makes great things possible. With that comes an obligation to share your knowledge with others, and Monk was great at that too. Finally, we illustrate through music the value of being part of other people’s development by participating in equal collaboration. Taken together, adopting these ideas and attitudes will change you, and that’s what jazz n is all about.

Thomas Fire and mudﬂows. These soulful performances will span multiple mediums including dance, music, photography, drama, poetry and video. This evening of reﬂection promises to be an eclectic and entertaining showcase of some of Santa Barbara and Ventura’s best artists.

Followed by a Conversation with Producer/Director Alana DeJoseph Founded during the Cold War, the Peace Corps stands as an icon of American idealism. From the beginning its mission of world peace and friendship proved to be a towering task. Imbued with unbounded energy and vision of its charismatic leader, Sargent Shriver, and thousands of vigorous volunteers, the story of the Peace Corps is a uniquely American tale. From the political machinations to establish not just a brand new government agency, but a new concept in international relations, to the growing pains of an agency striving to define its mission, A Towering Task takes viewers on a journey of what it means to be a global citizen. Alana DeJoseph served as associate producer of the award-winning PBS documentaries The Greatest Good (about the U.S. Forest Service) and Green Fire (about conservationist Aldo Leopold).

The Butterfly Effect B

utterflies are ephemeral beings, their lovely little lives measured in just a few short months of dancing among nectared flowers. During the summers, since 2001, the Santa Barbara Museum of Natural History has filled a temporary, green-netted space with kaleidoscopes of deep-brown and bright-orange specimens. The exhibit is one of the museum’s biggest draws, with young visitors awed and tickled by the experience of walking among hundreds of the gentle insects. As part of its $20 million Centennial Project, the museum just finished construction of its new, permanent Sprague Butterfly Pavilion, a custom-built steel and sandstone structure (pictured right) filled with native plants, wooden benches, and a small pond. This year’s Butterflies Alive! exhibit — which features red admirals, painted ladies, and mourning cloaks, all native to North America — is now open from noon to 4 p.m. each day through October 14. The grand reopening comes right after the museum completed major renovations to its Mammal and Bird Habitat halls, and just as the Mission Canyon campus reopens its popular outdoor area, where kids are permitted — actually, encouraged — to get down and dirty with nature. “The only rules we have are for the adults,” explained museum director Luke Swetland. “And that’s to let your kids go. If they want to climb a tree, fine. If they want to play in the mud, let them.” The enhanced and expanded Museum Backyard, which Swetland referred to as “a halfway house to nature,” features the Bio Builders Zone, where kids can construct forts, art, or whatever else they dream up. The Create Zone is where mud pies are made, there’s a play stage for live shows, and a new waterway is meant to be

explored when Mission Creek is running dry. Young guests can even check out a toolkit to help excavate real fossils trapped inside a piece of stone matrix. “It really teaches you how patient paleontologists have to be,” said Swetland. In the Nature Club House, where the musuem’s collection of caged reptiles is displayed, an on-site naturalist is always around to answer questions. Just outside the front door is a perch partially hidden by manzanita branches that brings visitors up to the perspective of birds. In a nearby dead tree (close enough for viewing but far enough away to be safe) is a beehive from which a line of buzzing workers constantly comes and goes. New paths all around are wheelchair and stroller friendly. “We took everything that works about the museum and makes it special and brought it to the next level,” said Swetland. All this was unveiled Friday, September 21, at a ribbon cutting attended by more than 100 trustees, staff, and local leaders. “I am so proud of the reception we have received from members and visitors regarding the improvements to the Mammal Hall and Bird Habitat Hall,” Swetland said to the crowd. “The beauty of the improved entrance areas sets the stage for the wonderful experience our visitors will enjoy, and the new Butterfly Pavilion and improved Backyard are the perfect next step in our revitalization of the museum campus.” Within a couple of days, well over 3,500 guests filtered through the museum. Next year, Swetland said, the museum will start a complete restoration of the Fleischmann Auditorium. “We’re really excited and prepared to lean into the future,” he said. —Tyler Hayden

ndrew Rowberg, a materials science PhD student at UCSB, won the Collegiate Bridge Bowl Individual Championship this summer in Atlanta. Rowberg (pictured) started playing bridge as a high school first-year and founded the UCSB Bridge Club last year. After competing in nearly 60 online daily tournaments, the team decided to go for a title. Rowberg took home a trophy, a $2,000 scholarship, and a full deck of bragging rights. “It pumped me up to learn that I had won, especially knowing that I finished above several rather talented players,” he said. “We are a small outfit, but I am very optimistic we will grow in the years to come. We are definitely looking forward to competing again next year.” —Indy Staff

CAT WITH A PURPOSE: Buster helped comfort more than 50 people in Sarah House’s hospice care.

Bye-Bye, Dear Buster

t was the fall of 2004 when he began showing up regularly. We didn’t know his name, and, truth be told, we were not open to the idea of a cat roaming our halls. We chased him out a dozen times, and a dozen times he found his way into someone’s room. It was as if he knew which resident needed him the most. We are Sarah House, where people come to spend their last days. We have been serving the Santa Barbara community for 27 years, first by answering the call to help those dying of HIV/AIDS, and then extending our mission to serve anyone on hospice. After a while, we understood that Buster had a purpose and that he had found his home here. He allowed our residents to hold him, to feed him, to pet him. He spent countless nights in their beds, cuddled up, keeping them company and witnessing their final breath. He filled that need that only animals can fill, that undeniable and unconditional love they know how to give so easily, so generously. Buster was a source of joy here, and solace too, for the family members who held him after their loved one had died. I see him as a young cat, running so fast. I see him jumping, sprinting, full of energy. I see him hunting. More than once he offered one of our staff his “kill.” More than once he lay on our books as we tried to write our reports. Buster chose us, giving us 14 years of his life, love, and loyalty. He was a peaceful and gentle presence in his devotion to the work of Sarah House. Buster, you will forever be a part of us, a part of the work that is done here.

Your Sarah House family

FAMILY-OWNED BREWERY

n the year 2000, back when Rodney’s Grill was called

Rodney’s Steakhouse, the restaurant announced its opening with a kicky “Love Me Tender” advertising campaign that splashed across Santa Barbara’s newspapers. Eighteen years later, Rodney’s remains true to its roots, offering some of the best cuts in town inside the Hilton Santa Barbara Beachfront Resort. But it’s also evolved to feature on the regular menu some really delicious dishes, like a braised pork osso buco with parsnip purée and a fettuccine ragout with mint-sprig polenta. Now, Rodney’s is kicking it up yet another notch with a new, specialty Santa Barbara Heritage menu. Inspired by California cuisine, which owes all of its culinary inheritance to a rich Spanish-Mexican history, the kitchen is creating dishes that are tried and true but a little risky, too. The standout is the whole fried snapper, a healthy-sized crisped fish propped around a mound of saffron rice next to a dollop of sweet redpepper-based Vizcaina sauce. The playful presentation, a conversation-stopper when it hits the table, still takes second to how the meal tastes. The snapper’s distinctive sweet, nutty flavor comes through just right in flakey morsels that beg to be eaten with the fingers, and you get the satisfaction of a fried food without the gutbomb heaviness that usually accompanies such a treat. 633 E. CABRILLO BLVD; Remember to bring your 884-8554; rodneysgrill.com appetite, because there are two whole sides of the fish to pick clean. Fess Parker’s 2016 chardonnay is the right choice for your dinner wine. The Heritage menu is deep with options. There’s the California heirloom gazpacho with crunchy-fresh cucumbers and bell peppers that ride an even wave of toasted cumin warmth and jalapeño spice. Vegetarians should also try the quinoa paella for its impeccably seasoned oyster mushrooms, chickpeas, and grilled artichoke. The churrasco, a garlic-and-citrus-marinated flat-iron steak, is served with a green chimichurri, the perfect marriage of Rodney’s bygone steakhouse days and its modern embrace of original California culture. —Tyler Hayden It’s a tasty and tender kind of love.

BYE-BYE, BREW CO.: The Santa Barbara Brewing Company will close in October and reopen as Cruisery.

Cruisery Replacing S.B. Brew Co. and well-known Santa Barbara Brewing Company is changing ownership in the beginning of October and, by the middle of next month, will be known by the bicyclethemed name Cruisery. Word is that current employees will apply to work for the new owner, Aron Ashland, who will offer a new menu and plans interior improvements. “We would not have enjoyed years of success without the community, many of whom are now friends, and the 1,500-plus employees we have employed over the years,” said S.B. Brew Co. owners Wayne and Michelle Trella and Steve Hovdesven. “Being the first brewery in Santa Barbara, we recognize what an important icon S.B. Brew Co. has become in Santa Barbara.” PINKBERRY CLOSES: Readers tell me that Pink-

berry at 742 State Street has suddenly closed and that the interior has been cleared out. The business opened in January 2009. CHICKEN IN A BARREL UPDATE: Reader Cris says

that Chicken in a Barrel, coming to 5711 Calle Real in Goleta (formerly Petrini’s), is set to open any day now. VICENTA’S HIRING: Reader Cris also says that a

NEW JAPANESE IN ISLA VISTA:

Hanamura has opened at 901 Embarcadero del Mar in Isla Vista, the former home of Sorriso Italiano, which closed last May. Just around the corner from Hanamura, One Piece Japanese Restaurant has opened at 6555 Pardall Road, where HiWi Tropical Fusion was located until last month. SLY’S CLOSES: Carpinteria

institution Sly’s restaurant at 686 Linden Avenue closed on September 23 after a much-publicized final month of business.

LIGHTHOUSE REPLACES GOOD CUP ON THE MESA:

Readers tell me that Lighthouse Coffee has replaced Good Cup at 1819 Cliff Drive. I’m told that the space is fully modernized but many of the familiar faces from Good Cup are still working there. RESTAURANTS FOR SALE: CompassFirst.com is list-

ing two eateries for sale. The first is Miso Hungry on East Canon Perdido for $199,000.“Sandwiched between several successful businesses on a high traffic corridor, with Handlebar Coffee, Rudy’s Fresh Mexican, and the Pickle Room next door,” says the listing. “Strong local clientele, with a large concentration of accountants, attorneys, and business banks within two blocks. Tourist traffic is driven to Canon Perdido to see the historic Presidio park (across the street) and the site of the oldest adobe in California. Traffic counts exceed 18,000 per day. Includes full hood system, health department approved kitchen, outdoor storage area, large communal grease trap, and a Type 41 beer and wine license. Eight year lease provides excellent protection for investors.” The second is Late Night Mac N Cheese for $58,000. “Concert Concession Kitchen and Late Night Soul Food,” describes the listing. “Streamlined popular menu with a cult following. Open and operating for over six years. Open to the public three nights a week, plus food and concessions to concerts hosted at Velvet Jones, with a 400-person capacity venue. This captured audience combined with State Street foot traffic creates a nice profit for the owner, and a sustainable business model. Rent, utilities, and trash are a combined flat rate of $2,600 per month. An unbelievable value for a kitchen with commissary approval and builtin revenue.” PAUL WELLMAN FILE PHOTO

Dining Out Guide

DINING OUT

Chaplin’s is the latest addition to Phillip Frankland Lee and Margarita Kallas-Lee’s Scratch|Restaurants empire, which includes The Monarch across the driveway, a number of restaurants in the San Fernando Valley, and the soon-tocome Silver Bough, a 10-seat, high-end dining experience, also inside the inn. The bar is what quickly replaced Frankland’s Crab & Co.—opened in April, closed in August—when The Monarch’s popularity started to take off. While the crab concept wasn’t as successful, the Lees found that they needed more kitchen space, especially with breakfast and lunch at The Monarch and the Silver Bough on the way. Plus, patrons frequently recalled good times at the old Montecito Café bar that was once there and wished for something similar. So Chaplin’s Martini Bar was born, and now anyone can get a sense of what Tinseltown was sipping way back when, from 4 p.m. until midnight (or possibly later), seven days a week.

FOOD & DRINK •

Chaplin hanging out in Montecito, and not just because Coast Village Road’s newest drinking hole sports the silent film star’s name. With black walls and slick leather booths, long red curtains, and a stagelike setting where dapper bartenders mix drinks, Chaplin’s Martini Bar is dark, dramatic, and rather theatrical in nature. Located inside the Montecito Inn, which Chaplin founded in 1928, it’s the sort of intimate place where you could easily imagine Hollywood heroes carousing. The drink menu is based on classics from 1920 to 1968 — “the years that Chaplin would have been alive and drinking,” said PR rep Edward Allen — from a bold, clean Tanqueray martini (circa 1940) to the Bee’s Knees (1920, with gin, honey, and lemon) and Vieux Carre (1937, rye- and bitters-based). I opted for the Air Mail ($13), a 1949 concoction that combines Plantation Five-Year Barbados Rum with mint leaves, honey syrup, lime juice, and sparkling wine. Served up in a demure cocktail glass, it was tart yet smooth and very refreshing, the rum expertly integrated.

SBIFF’S 10-10-10 DEADLINE

While the Santa Barbara International Film Festival (SBIFF) is perhaps best known for the bevy of movies and stars it brings to town each winter, SBIFF also offers a wide range of educational opportunities. One example is its 10-10-10 competition, which was launched in 2004. The program is geared toward aspiring filmmakers, screenwriters, and directors and kicks off several months before the festival proper.

The program is open to high school and college students — 10 writers, 10 directors, 10 films — and includes working with a mentor on a project that will be part of the 2019 film festival, which runs January 30-February 9. “Over a span of several months before the festival, the mentors lead each of the 10 film crews through all stages of planning and production,” read a statement from the SBIFF. “Mentors provide feedback on a rough cut of the

film, then filmmakers submit the final version for the competition.” To be considered for the program, screenwriters must submit a 10-page sample of a screenplay, fiction piece, or stage play; filmmakers must submit a fiveminute short film. The deadline for applications is Monday, October 1. For more information and to apply, see sbiff.org/ education/10-10-10. —Michelle Drown

Sarah Ruhl

HOW TO TRANSCEND A HAPPY MARRIAGE

Award-wining playwright Sarah Ruhl is known for smart, timeless storytelling with a modern sensibility. This week, area acting company The Producing Unit will perform a reading of Ruhl’s new play, How to Transcend a Happy Marriage, directed by Peter Frisch. The “happy marriage” in the title suggests a “traditional” marriage — the viability of which is called into question when two couples at a dinner party discuss the appeal of a polyamorous lifestyle, a topic inspired by a new acquaintance, Pip, who has two partners. Pip and her companions join the party, and the real-world implications of non-monogamy are put on display. Ruhl’s play is a conversation about traditionally accepted romantic choices and how their structure misaligns with those of our primitive ancestors, who, consistently throughout history — whether for pleasure, procreation, or support in raising a family — accepted polygamy (or “open relationships”) as a productive social structure. How to Transcend brings this discussion into current focus with characters who palpate the lines of physical, emotional, and spiritual connection. Director Frisch said, “In order to function well in the institution of marriage and the raising of children, what parts of our animal nature do we sacrifice? … Ruhl’s play suggests that our sacrifices are significant and debilitating.” Said performer Ivy Vahanian, “This piece is so perfect for so many in Santa Barbara — the forgotten mass of couples with children that have essentially [forfeited] a sense of self and sensuality for the sake of our kids. … The play pokes holes in society’s edges and speaks to our more primitive selves.” —Maggie Yates

How to Transcend a Happy Marriage runs FridaySaturday, September 28-29, 8 p.m., at Center Stage Theater (751 Paseo Nuevo). Call 963-0408 or see centerstagetheater.org.

LODGE 49

This weekend!

a&e | FILM & TV FEATURE

ccording to AMC’s new series Lodge 49, the modern-day alchemist need not hole up in some clandestine laboratory, performing experiments and trying to transmute lead into gold. Today’s conjurer could do just as well with a metal detector and a pawnshop. That’s how we meet Sean “Dud” Dudley (Wyatt Russell): metal detector in hand, scouring the shores of Long Beach for valuables. In the alchemical tradition, perfecting metals is an allegorical process by which one also perfects themselves. Even if Dud doesn’t know it yet, he’s looking for more than a piece of gold on the beach; he’s looking for a piece of himself, and the ring he finds there is only the first step in a long, strange trip of self-discovery. Lodge 49 has been touted as The Big Lebowski of television: a surreal romp helmed by a shaggy, down-on-his-luck slacker with a SoCal drawl. Even the protagonist’s name, Dud, echoes Jeff Bridges’s “The Dude” from the 1998 film. But the similarities are cosmetic at best. The Dude, enthroned by the definite article before his name, is completely at home with himself, content to abide the shifting winds of life from his lackadaisical vantage. Dud, on the other hand, is lost, fearful, and determined to do better for himself. His name connotes someone who has yet to amount to anyby T.M. Weedon thing, and Dud feels that failure deeply and regrettably. Until he finds the ring, that is. The ring has the insignia of a local fraternal order, the Order of the Lynx. Later that same day, Dud’s car runs out of gas directly in front of the Lynx’s meetinghouse, Lodge 49, and he interprets it as a sign from the universe that he’s being guided toward something momentous. The Order is full of just the right fodder to feed Dud’s conviction of purpose, with its lineage of squires and knights, its esoteric spiritual texts, and, most important, its sense of community. One member, Blaise St. John (David Pasquesi), a good-natured, weed-dealing apothecary with a mind for metaphysics, is more than happy to take Dud under his wing as a fellow traveler seeking out the spiritual mysteries harbored within everyday occurrences. He begins schooling Dud in alchemical theory. But Ernie (Brent Jennings), a plumbing hardware salesman and the acting sovereign protector—the head honcho, so to speak—is more skeptical of all the rites and mysteries that have come to preoccupy Dud. For Ernie, the lodge is less a spiritual vocation and more a welcome respite from the drudgery of the workweek — a social hall where folks can have a beer and relax. This beleaguered vision of working-class life finds its most sympathetic expression in Dud’s sister, Liz (Sonya Cassidy), whose mundane struggles, while less glamorous than Dud’s mythological quest, bring greater dimension and purpose to the show. She’s a waitress at a bar that’s better known for its cleavage than its buffalo wings, and what she doesn’t bring home in tips is quickly garnished by the bank to pay the debts her recently deceased father bequeathed her and Dud. She’s less interested in Dud finding himself and more interested in Dud finding a job. Frustrations and anxieties like Liz’s are at the heart of Lodge 49, and no character goes untouched by them. The disenchantment inherent to the financialization of everyday life becomes particularly stark when finances can no longer support that life. Layoffs, debts, foreclosures, the endless chase after the next paycheck—these are what make up the material reality of Lodge 49’s world. Even the lodge itself, after years of declining member dues and backlogged maintenance projects, is a husk of its former glory. But Dud thinks he’s found the rabbit hole, and Lodge 49 aims to burrow straight through the anxious little heart of late capitalism and unearth some latent magic and adventure in a world that, more often than not, can feel n hollowed out by the cold calculations of labor and finance.

UnfraCTUred

An Afternoon with the Director A triumphant documentary about fighting with your whole heart, UNFRACTURED follows introspective biologist and mother Sandra Steingraber as she reinvents herself as an outspoken activist and throws herself into an environmental war that many believe is unwinnable. Hailed as a “toxic avenger” by Rolling Stone, Sandra quickly emerges as one of the leaders of New York’s biggest grassroots movement. Although she knows her family needs her at home, Sandra won’t stop—not until she and her allies win a statewide ban on fracking. Screening of Un UnF FrAC ACt tUre reD D will be followed by a discussion between filmmaker Chanda Chevannes and Professor Mona Damluji of the Department of Film and Media Studies.

MOVIE GUIDE SPECIAL SCREENINGS

SBIFF’s Call to Action Film Festival The Santa Barbara International Film Festival presents a slate of socially conscious documentaries for this mini fest, which runs Friday, September 28-Thursday, October 4. See story on page 49.

A Star Is Born (135 mins., R) Bradley Cooper stars in and directs this remake about hard-drinking country musician Jackson Maine, who discovers and falls in love with an up-and-coming singer/songwriter, Ally (Lady Gaga). Camino Real/Paseo Nuevo (Opens Thu., Oct. 4)

Metro 4 (2D & 3D) (Opens Thu., Oct. 4)

Kevin O’Connor President

Asian American who’s nailed immigrant success. She isn’t going to pass muster in this milieu, the homeland of her taipan-heir boyfriend, Nick Young (Henry Golding). Or is she? Crazy Rich Asians gives brash visuality to the shameless excesses of Kevin Kwan’s eponymous novel. Much more than a rom com, it’s a spectacle of carefree wealth. It also takes on the formidable project of being the cinematic representation for which Asian Americans have been waiting. To this end, there’s a key plot point: In the shadow of Crazy Rich Asia is Crazy Poor Asia, and these opposing lifeworlds extend into and complicate Asian America. But Crazy Rich Asians’ happy ending (no real spoiler here) conceals the seam between the two. It’s the quintessential fairy tale of global capitalism. Fairview/Paseo Nuevo (AT)

➤ O Fahrenheit 11/9

(120 mins., R)

Michael Moore’s latest film, Fahrenheit 11/9, is like watching two documentaries rolled into one. Its primary thread depicts a democracy in crisis, with Moore declaring President Donald Trump “the last president of the United States.” Throughout these parts of the film, Moore’s narration deploys his classic blend of ironic storytelling and deadly serious politics as the past two years of American political history unfold before our eyes. The other major story told by Fahrenheit 11/9 deals specifically with the Flint, Michigan, water crisis. Here, Moore displays impressive investigative journalism, returning to his hometown to tell the urgent story of how government corruption brought

a&e | FILM & TV CONT’D FROM P. 53

Lizzie about dangerous lead contamination in Flint’s water supply. Moore presents the ongoing crisis as “slow-motion ethnic cleansing” against the city’s majority African-American population. As a whole, the film casts a broad net, touching on 9/11 and public-emergency culture, the DNC’s dismissal of Bernie Sanders, the rise of Democratic Socialist Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, and the Parkland, Florida, school shooting (familiar territory for Moore). But the anger-inducing reporting Moore provides in Fahrenheit 11/9 about impoverished, poisoned Flint — where more than 10,000 children have been put at risk of health problems — should be required viewing for all Americans. (KCM) The Hitchcock The House with a Clock in Its Walls (105 mins., PG) Based on the 1973 book of the same name, this film tells the story of orphaned 10-year-old Lewis Barnavelt (Owen Vaccaro), who goes to live with his eccentric uncle (Jack Black), whose house has a ticking heart. When Lewis finds out his uncle is a warlock and his neighbor, Florence (Cate Blanchett) is a good witch, the boy must join in the fight to beat the forces of evil trying to bring about Doomsday.

Lizzie (105 mins., R) Chloë Sevigny and Kristen Stewart star in this historical adaptation of the true story of Lizzie Borden, who was accused of killing her father and stepmother with an ax in Fall River, Massachusetts, in 1892. Metro 4 Love, Gilda (88 mins., NR) This documentary, which premiered last spring at the Tribeca Film Festival, reveals the wacky, whimsical world of beloved comedian Gilda Radner using audiotapes, interviews with her friends, diary entries, and home movies.

Arlington/Camino Real A Simple Favor (117 mins., R) Paul Feig directs this mystery/thriller about a small-town blogger, Stephanie (Anna Kendrick), whose best friend, Emily (Blake Lively), goes missing.

THE GAMBERDELLAS’ BIG GAME QUANDARY San Marcos High Alum Roots for Santa Barbara Don Son in 59th Crosstown Gridiron Battle

9/28: High School Football: San Marcos at Santa Barbara San Marcos has the weapons to halt the trend of lopsided Santa Barbara wins in the 59th Big Game. The Royals (1-4) are coming off their first victory of the season, a 21-0 shutout of Channel Islands. The Dons (3-2) won their first three games and then stumbled against St. Bonaventure and Pacifica. They were plagued by turnovers, a failing that could spell trouble against an opportunistic San Marcos defense. When they are clicking, the Dons can light up the scoreboard with quarterback Frankie Gamberdella (11 TD passes) and 6 2 , 205-pound running back Jeremiah Phillips. The Royals’ compact senior back Tommy Schaeffer (5 7 , 175 pounds) has scored eight TDs — four rushing and four on receptions — and the junior combination of QB Ben Partee and receiver Josh Brown has accounted for five scores. Another big game will light up La Playa Stadium on Saturday night, as Bishop Diego hosts Grace Brethren of Simi Valley in an inaugural Camino League blockbuster. 7pm. La Playa Stadium, S.B. City College, 721 Cliff Dr. $3-$9. Call 966-9101 x5010.

Marla Gamberdella attended neither high school, but across town to coach the Dons for several years. “We called him Uncle Will, and when he was coaching at San Marcos, because of Frankie’s participation in baseball and basketball I’d be running around in my San Marcos gear,” Frankie said. as well as football, his mother is a Santa Barbara fan, right “When he went to Santa Barbara, I had Santa Barbara gear. down to her toenails, which were painted green last weekend.

In his first Big Game, he threw four touchdown passes in a 55-7 Santa Barbara victory. Last year, he again passed for four TDs and also ran for a pair of S.B.

She stayed loyal to the family tradition and is a junior at San Marcos. “On Fridays, he’ll wear his football jersey, and I’ll wear my Royal Pride shirt,” she said. As the setter on the volleyball team, Ellie is her sport’s version of a quarterback. “There are similarities,” she said. “You get to touch every ball, and you choose where the ball goes.

n the crosstown rivalry defined since 1960 by the Big Game — the football clash between the Santa Barbara High Dons and the San Marcos Royals — the Gamberdella family was solidly on the side of the Royals. “Back in those days, you went to school where you lived, and I lived near San Marcos,” said Paul Gamberdella, one of three athletic siblings who attended the school. He was already embracing “Royal Pride” as a 6th grader, when he followed the spectacular San Marcos basketball team led by Jon Korfas and Gerry Karczewski, two older boys in his neighborhood. Gamberdella went on to star in three sports for the Royals, graduating in 1987, and he has since been inducted into the school’s athletic Hall of Fame. He was a quarterback on the football team, taking snaps from center Chuck Liddell, another Hall of Fame athlete who made his name in Ultimate Fighting. During Gamberdella’s years as starting QB, the Royals lost both games to the Dons, including a 21-20 cliffhanger in his senior year. “We could have tied them but went for a two-point conversion and didn’t make it,” he said. “You didn’t play for a tie in the Big Game.” The Dons and Royals have never wound up in a draw. Santa Barbara leads the series, 34-24. Gamberdella now lives near San Marcos with his wife, Marla Gamberdella, and five children. When his oldest son, Frankie, started playing football in the 6th grade, he envisioned him playing in the Big Game and maybe winning one. In fact, Frankie Gamberdella has won two Big Games as a starting quarterback — for the Santa Barbara Dons. “It’s surreal,” Paul said of seeing his son taking the field for the olive green and gold. Frankie will try to end his Big Game career with a 3-0 sweep on Friday night, September 28, when the Dons and Royals collide at SBCC’s La Playa Stadium. Frankie’s father remembers the day he foresaw his son going to the other side. “We went to a basketball game at Santa Barbara,” he recalled. “We were there early, it was still light out, and we were walking across the parking lot over to the gym, and he says, ‘Dad, if I had a chance to decide where I was going to go right now, it would be Santa Barbara High.’ It took me aback, like, what? Why would you say that? He says, ‘Look at it here, the architecture, the old buildings …. There’s the football stadium, the gym, the baseball field—it’s all together, and it’s downtown.’” Paul had never looked at the old school in that way, not after experiencing the hostility of being on a visiting team. “I was

FREE WILL ASTROLOGY by Rob Breszny ARIES (Mar. 21-Apr. 19): Do you have any skill at living on the

edge between the light and the dark? Are you curious about what the world might look like and how people would treat you if you refused to divide everything up into that which helps you and that which doesn’t help you? Can you imagine how it would feel if you loved your life just the way it is and did not wish it were different from what it is? Please note: People less courageous than you might prefer you to be less courageous. But I hope you’ll stay true to the experiment of living on the edge between the light and the dark.

TAURUS (Apr. 20-May 20): According to Popbitch.com, most

top-charting pop songs are in a minor key. In light of this fact, I encourage you to avoid listening to pop songs for the next three weeks. In my astrological opinion, it’s essential that you surround yourself with stimuli that don’t tend to make you sad and blue, that don’t influence you to interpret your experience through a melancholic, mournful filter. To accomplish the assignments that life will be sending you, you need to at least temporarily cultivate a mood of crafty optimism.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20): Gemini regent Queen Victoria (1819-

1901) wore crotchless underwear made of linen. A few years ago, Britain’s Museums, Libraries, and Archives Council accorded them “national designated status,” an official notice that means they are a national treasure. If I had the power, I would give your undergarments an equivalent acknowledgment. The only evidence I would need to make this bold move would be the intelligence and expressiveness with which you are going to wield your erotic sensibilities in the coming weeks.

CANCER (June 21-July 22): I’ve taken a break from socializing,

my fellow Cancerian. In fact, I’m on sabbatical from my regular rhythm. My goal for the coming days is to

VIRGO

(Aug. 23-Sept. 22): A data research company, Priceo-

nomics, suggests that Monday is the most productive day of the week and that October is the most productive month of the year. My research suggests that while Capricorns tend to be the most consistently productive of all the signs in the zodiac, Virgos often outstrip them for a six-week period during the end of each September and throughout October. Furthermore, my intuition tells me that you Virgos now have an extraordinary capacity to turn good ideas into practical action. I conclude, therefore, that you are about to embark on a surge of industrious and high-quality work. (PS: This October has five Mondays.)

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): If you were ever going to win a contest that awarded you a free vacation to an exotic sanctuary, it would probably happen during the next three weeks. If a toy company would ever approach you about developing a line of action figures and kids’ books based on your life, it might also be sometime soon. And if you have ever had hopes of converting your adversaries into allies, or getting support and backing for your good original ideas, or finding unexpected inspiration to fix one of your not-so-good habits, those opportunities are now more likely than they have been for some time.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): An 81-year-old Capricorn man named

James Harrison has donated his unique blood on 1,173 occasions. Scientists have used it to make medicine that prevents rhesus disease in unborn babies, thereby healing more than 2.4 million kids and literally saving thousands of lives. I don’t expect you to do anything nearly as remarkable. But I do want to let you know that the coming weeks will be a favorable time to lift your generosity and compassion to the next level. Harrison would serve well as your patron saint.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): On a spring morning some years ago,

a smoky aroma woke me from a deep sleep. Peering out my bedroom window into the backyard, I saw that my trickster girlfriend Anastasia had built a bonfire. When I stumbled to my closet to get dressed, I found my clothes missing. There were no garments in my dresser, either. In my groggy haze, I realized that my entire wardrobe had become fuel for Anastasia’s conflagration. It was too late to intervene, and I was still quite drowsy, so I crawled back in bed to resume snoozing. A while later, I woke to find her standing next to the bed bearing a luxurious breakfast she said she’d cooked over the flames of my burning clothes. After our meal, we stayed in bed all day, indulging in a variety of riotous fun. I’m not predicting that similar events will unfold in your life, Aquarius. But you may experience adventures that are almost equally boisterous, hilarious, and mysterious.

PISCES (Feb. 19-Mar. 20): I’ve got three teachings for you. (1) Was

there a time in your past when bad romance wounded your talent for love? Yes, but you now have more power to heal that wound than you’ve ever had before. (2) Is it possible you’re ready to shed a semi-delicious addiction to a chaotic magic? Yes. Clarity is poised to trump melodrama. Joyous decisiveness is primed to vanquish ingrained sadness. (3) Has there ever been a better time than now to resolve and graduate from past events that have bothered and drained you for a long time? No. This is the best time ever.
