ADemocrats Very Blue Tuesday Sweep S.B. Races and House of Reps

by Nick Welsh

things more transparent,” he promised. During his speech, Carbajal talked about using the federal government to help find new jobs for the 1,500 PG&E employees who are losing theirs in San Luis Obispo with the closure of the Diablo Canyon nuclear power plant. He talked of getting something done about climate change and strengthening provisions of the Affordable Care Act. But mostly Carbajal railed against the culture of what he called “corruption and division” fostered by the Trump White House. Since moving to D.C., Carbajal has shared an a apartment with two other congressmembers, one being the party’s new rock star Beto O’Rourke, who just lost a cliff-hanger to Texas Republican Ted Cruz for Senate. “I think he should consider running for president,” Carbajal said of his roommate. Later in the evening, O’Rourke would tweet that he harbored no such aspirations. Meanwhile, in Goleta, Paula Perotte — a longtime community and slow-growth activist affiliated with the progressive wing of the Democratic Party — won handily over Michael Bennett (60 percent to 39 percent), such a fixture in Goleta civic affairs that he was elected mayor in 1993 on a ballot that rejected cityhood. A retired firefighter and also a lifelong Democrat, Bennett was blamed for much of the growth and development against which Goletans have been recoiling. An ebullient and exhausted Perotte said that during her campaigning, development and water were on every voter’s mind from Old Town to Winchester. In the Santa Barbara Unified school board race, winners Rose Muñoz and Kate Ford represented rival slates; their respective slate mates — Ismael Paredes Ulloa and Mark Alvarado—both lost. That race was perhaps the area’s most politically contentious, arising as it did out of the political uproar that’s engulfed San Marcos High School ever since news broke early this year of a private chat

PEOPLE Santa Barbara Bucket Brigade Executive Director John Abraham “Abe” Powell was named the 2018 Montecito Association Citizen of the Year for his response to the Thomas Fire and 1/9 Debris Flow. A parallel Santa Barbara County resolution on Tuesday commended him for “a lifetime of outstanding achievement in service to this community.” Powell was born to a Montecito native and has lived in the community since 1976. He has served on the Montecito Fire Protection District board since 2012. After the debris flow, Powell cofounded the Bucket Brigade; its network of volunteers has dug out more than 90 homes and dozens of acres of public open space.

CITY

ALL SMILES: Clockwise from left, Salud Carbajal, Paula Perotte, Monique Limón, and Kate Ford celebrate their wins.

uesday night, Santa Barbara’s Democratic Party activists were giddy with victory, drunk with relief, and exhausted from sunup-to-sundown canvassing. While the 26 House seats the Democrats picked up may not qualify as the much-heralded midterm Blue Wave, the victory was decisive and sizable nonetheless. “We finally get a little blue in California,” shouted an exultant Congressmember Salud Carbajal during a party held at the downtown restaurant Viva. While the outcome of Carbajal’s race against Republican Justin Fareed was never remotely in doubt, the margin of Carbajal’s victory took even his own campaign by surprise. Carbajal didn’t just win; he beat Fareed like a tin drum, winning by 12 points district-wide. Two years ago, Carbajal beat Fareed by six points. Santa Barbara voters threw themselves into this year’s midterms with record-setting passion, spurred into action by the first two years of President Donald Trump. Fareed, who works at a medical supply company started by his parents, relentlessly accused Carbajal —a Mexican immigrant—of putting public safety at risk by allowing so-called dangerous criminal immigrants to cross the border unimpeded. Even with no marquee nail-biters on the ballot, Santa Barbara’s Democratic Party registration surged in record numbers. At the same time, No Party Preference voters now outnumber registered Republicans in Santa Barbara County. This mirrors statewide trends. Carbajal now embarks on his second term in Congress with Democrats firmly in control of the House and Republicans having expanded their control of the Senate. “It’s a little surreal,” Carbajal conceded. “I’ve never been here before. It’s all a new journey.” With a House majority, Carbajal said Democrats will now be able to get bills out of committee and onto the floor for votes. “We’ll be able to investigate, to ask questions, and to make

room maintained by a handful of students, one armed with a musket, making threatening and sexually derogatory comments about a group of high school girls. This led to the demotion of San Marcos principal Ed Behrens, which in turn sparked a backlash by a group of school parents, calling themselves Save Our Schools (SOS), in support of Behrens. Suffusing this drama have been not-sosubliminal issues of race and class. Behrens — now fighting his demotion in court — has been criticized for supporting the district’s special academies—favored more by white, more affluent students — at the expense of Latino students struggling to bridge the achievement gap. SOS endorsed Ford and Alvarado. Late in the campaign, the socialjustice organization CAUSE (Central Coast Alliance United for a Sustainable Economy) released a social media ad attacking SOS as racist and misogynistic while shying away from accusing the SOS-backed candidates of the same. On election night, Ford looked relieved, relaxed, and grateful. Quoting Elvis Presley, Ford noted, “Ambition is a dream with a V8 engine.” In what seemed to be a classic turtleand-hare race for the City College board of trustees, eight-year incumbent Marsha Croninger—despite being outspent—managed to pummel challenger Darcél Elliott, an accomplished political organizer and longtime assistant to 1st District Supervisor Das Williams. Aside from being a case of intramural Democratic Party mayhem — the Democratic Party endorsed Elliott after having endorsed Croninger her two previous terms—the issue of housing made this race significant. Elliott argued throughout the campaign that City College needed to provide housing for its out-of-town students. Croninger countered that City College should focus more on its core educational mission and do more to help local students succeed.

In its third quarterly report of 2018, Hayes Commercial Group stated that State Street retail continues to suffer. Within the past six months, 17 storefronts were impacted by tenant departures, making for 37 total vacancies. The overall commercial vacancy rate of 6 percent is the highest it’s been since 2012. According to the report, this quarter marks a “higher vacancy than at any point during or in the wake of the Great Recession.” However, some vacancies have been filled by temporary pop-up stores, and there have been rumors of Amazon moving into the former Saks building.

ENVIRONMENT The U.S. Supreme Court declined to hear a legal effort by commercial shellfish fishers to force the U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service to maintain an “otterfree zone” between Point Conception and the Mexican border, as congressionally mandated in 1986 by Public Law 99-625. Soon after the law was established, Fish & Wildlife abandoned efforts to capture and move otters from the zone because the process sometimes proved fatal to the marine mammals, which are protected by federal law.

LAW & DISORDER Pete Dolan, 58, who coached cross-country and track and field at UCSB for 32 years, has claimed in court that he was wrongfully fired. His lawsuit against the university alleges five violations, including age discrimination, retaliation, and breach of contract. Dolan was placed on administrative leave throughout the 2018 track-and-field season. It was not until 5/15 that John McCutcheon, UCSB’s director of athletics, informed him of allegations by several former athletes that he had subjected them to verbal and psychological abuse. A trial has been set for next summer in the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission’s case against Montecito resident Ralph Iannelli, accused of conducting an $80 million Ponzi-like scheme to bring investors and lenders to Essex, his equipment-leasing business. According to Iannelli’s attorney, “Essex presents clear evidence that Mr. Iannelli simply is trying his best to right the company he founded, not mislead. Essex is not a Ponzi scheme.”

KING CRAB SPECIAL

NOV. 1-8, 2018

Election cont’d from p. 9

In Montecito, a well-financed slate of five candidates promising to improve “water security” by pushing recycled and reclaimed water totally swept their respective races, with three of them joining two crony incumbents to occupy all five seats of the Montecito Water District and two of them winning in the five-seat Montecito Sanitary District. By the standards of special district races, the $125,000 raised by the slate qualifies as a lot, and the tone—accusing the sanitary district of dumping partially treated wastewater into the ocean—aggressive and inflammatory. Historically, the Montecito Water District has opposed the use of recycled water, citing health and safety concerns. Under the

new regime, that option will get considerably more focus. The City of Carpinteria reported perhaps the biggest upset of the night, the defeat of city councilmember Brad Stein, who has served no less than 28 years in elected office. That qualifies as a seismic shift given the up-close-and-personal nature of Carpinteria’s small-town politics and a chink in the armor of the slow-growth machine that’s ruled Carpinteria since Stein was elected in 1990. Replacing Stein on the council was restaurant owner Roy Lee, backed by business interests and the Chamber of Commerce. Reelected were longtime incumbents Gregg n Carty and Al Clark.

Water Managers, County Wrangle Over Lake Cachuma by Melinda Burns here are the rains of yesteryear? The wet winter of 2017 is a distant memory as Santa Barbara County staggers into its eighth year of drought. As of this month, the water level at Lake Cachuma, the main water supply for the South Coast and Santa Ynez Valley, has dropped back to 31 percent of capacity, a mark the reservoir hit in October 2014, on the way down to a record low of 7 percent in October 2016. “I think the dry conditions have just worn everybody out,” said Chris Dahlstrom, general manager for Santa Ynez River Water Conservation District No. 1, one of five agencies that draw from Cachuma. “It would be a great thing to get a good winter.” Yet no rain is forecast through Thanksgiving. A weak-to-moderate El Niño condition developing in the equatorial Pacific Ocean may not hold much promise for Southern California, said Eric Boldt, a meteorologist for the National Weather Service in Oxnard. “Right now, it doesn’t look very favorable for a wet year,” he said, “but there’s still some time to reverse course.” As the drought drags on, it’s not surprising that a dispute is simmering over allocations from the lake for the South Coast and Santa Ynez Valley. For now, the county has prevailed with a gradualist approach that releases some water now for sure and some in the spring — maybe. “When we get down to the bottom of the barrel here and we’re counting drops, we’ve got to be very careful,” said Tom Fayram, deputy director of County Public Works. “We’re making sure the water’s there before we allocate it. It’s very logical: We don’t want to come up short.” Fayram has not forgotten what happened in 2013, when Cachuma levels dropped below the halfway mark on the heels of one of the driest years on record. Back then, following the Goleta Water District’s lead, the water agencies broke with past practice and failed to take a voluntary 20 percent cut in their allocations for the next water year. As

the drought deepened, their allocations for 2014-2015 were cut by 55 percent. In 20152016, they got zero allocations. But water managers who must answer to the drought-fatigued residents of Santa Barbara, Montecito, and the Goleta, Carpinteria, and Santa Ynez valleys are frustrated by what they view as an excess of caution. “All of the purveyors are on the same page, but we can’t seem to find a common ground with the county,” said John McInnes, general manager of the Goleta Water District, the single largest user of Cachuma water. “It makes for a difficult discussion when we’re already so hard-pressed for water supply to meet the needs of our customers. There’s water sitting in the lake, and it’s not being released.”

THE SHRINKING LAKE

In some ways, the South Coast is in a worse fix today than in 2014, even though a supply of desalinated water is now online in Santa Barbara. Levels of groundwater — the ultimate drought reserve — are at historical lows and dropping as a result of heavy well pumping in recent years. In addition, agencies in Montecito, Santa Barbara, and the Carpinteria and Goleta valleys have taken on substantial water debt by buying additional supplies of state aqueduct water from districts around California. As part of the deal, they must return an equal amount of water to those districts within 10 years. The dispute over Cachuma began last summer, when the water agencies unanimously asked the U.S. Bureau of Reclamation, the owner and operator of the Bradbury Dam, for 40 percent of their normal allocations for the water year that runs from October 2018 through September 2019. “The water agencies pay for and operate Cachuma and are experts in water supply,” said Bob McDonald, general manager of the Carpinteria Valley Water District. “We have the history of the lake with very little rain and in wet periods. We project what the evaporation demands will be and the releases downstream. We did all the modelCONT’D ON PAGE 15 

Few Are Emergency-Alert Ready

with AAA Travel!

nly 12 percent of Santa Barbara County residents have signed up to receive regional emergency alerts, officials told the supervisors this week, a surprisingly low figure they attributed to lingering uncertainty over the county’s public messaging program, Aware & Prepare. “There’s a lot of confusion about what Aware & Prepare is,” said Assistant CEO Terri Nisich. “That low number tells us we have more work to do.” The program, launched in 2016 and utilizing the Everbridge software system, broadcasts disaster-time notifications, including general warnings and evacuation orders, via phone calls, emails, and texts to residents who opt in. The county has also received federal permission to issue cell-phone WEAs (Wireless Emergency Alerts). In the last 12 months alone, during which Santa Barbara was bombarded by multiple wildfires and a catastrophic debris flow, authorities sent out 339 Aware & Prepare alerts and 35 WEAs, the sixth highest of any county in the nation. Officials conducted a countywide survey after the Holiday Fire in July 2018, when they received more than 100 complaints from Goleta residents who didn’t receive alerts as the fast-moving wildfire bore down on their Patterson Road neighborhood.

half of the 4,000 respondents said they didn’t know Aware & Prepare existed, 80 percent said they wanted to receive alerts by text, and 60 percent said they wanted to be notified if an emergency was occurring anywhere in the county. Nisich said the new state law that allows jurisdictions to cull resident information from utilities and automatically enroll them in emergency messaging systems will go a long way to increasing the number of people the county reaches. To encourage Aware & Prepare opt-ins, the county recently hosted two public information meetings, with plans for more next month, Undersheriff Sol Linver told the supervisors. The county’s Office of Emergency Management is training individual cities and fire agencies on how to use the software, and dispatchers are now well versed, he said.

WORTH READING: Mom, author, and advocate Cheri Rae has written a new book on dyslexia.

Dyslexia Impacts One in Five New Book Maps a Path for Parents

by Keith Hamm he Dyslexia Project, founded in 2011 by award-winning advocate Cheri Rae, aims to help parents help their dyslexic children. Out of that widespread effort — which focuses on building awareness, providing resources, and fostering a more dyslexia-friendly community—Rae recently released her second book on the topic, titled DyslexiaLand: A Field Guide for Parents of Children with Dyslexia. We caught up with Rae for some basics on this oftenmisunderstood learning disorder.

What is dyslexia? It’s a hereditary, neurological

difference in the brain that affects how it processes the written word, making reading, writing, and spelling more challenging.

How common is it? It is estimated that dyslexia

affects one in every five people to varying degrees.

What are some of the early signs? Even before

school, some characteristics of dyslexia include difficulty rhyming, remembering the alphabet, the days of the week, months of the year, pronouncing multisyllable words. And if there is dyslexia in the family, it is a first factor to consider if a bright child is unexpectedly struggling in school.

Are there any positives? Yes, dyslexia is also

characterized by outside-the-box thinking, creative problem-solving, intuition and people skills, 3D thinking, and success in the arts, athletics, engineering, architecture, and entrepreneurism. The list of accomplished dyslexics is very long!

How did you become an advocate? I was

frustrated with how much my smart little boy was struggling in school. I finally discovered that he’s dyslexic. The educators had no idea how to address his needs. After I was able to get him help, I turned to helping others and even worked as a dyslexia consultant with Santa Barbara Unified School District as sort of a liaison between parents and educators.

What happens to dyslexic kids in school? Unfortunately, far too many of our schools —public and private—do not have teachers trained in how to teach dyslexic children in the explicit, multisensory, structured approach to reading that they require.

The result is that these children struggle unnecessarily in school and are often still learning to read when their peers are reading to learn, usually around 3rd grade. And children too often get the message that reading equals smart and difficulty reading equals dumb — so those academic struggles become a source of emotional pain. Too often, that can last a lifetime.

What can parents do to help their dyslexic child succeed? Parents of dyslexic children must learn all they can about their child’s learning style, support their strengths, and work with the school officials to make sure they provide the appropriate teaching approaches and accommodations they need. If they cannot get the services needed in their schools — and that is too often the case—their options include homeschooling; tutoring, which can be very expensive; or even a private school for students with dyslexia, although those are even more expensive, and the closest one is in Encino.

What happens to dyslexic adults? I have met

with countless dyslexic adults who have shared their painful stories about what school was like for them, and some of them have been unable to reach their full potential, or they continue to struggle with a negative self-image. As one forty-something said to me recently, “My whole life I was told I would never amount to anything.” There’s a lot of healing of dyslexic adults that needs to happen. I am hopeful that DyslexiaLand will help end that cycle by empowering parents to advocate for their children as they recognize and support their strengths, without letting their challenges define them — in school, at home, or in the community. Dyslexia doesn’t go away, but individuals typically figure out personal “workarounds” through persistence and hard work, which can minimize its effects and lead to great success in college, professional, and personal life. Many highly successful entrepreneurs, for example, are dyslexic. In fact, so are most of the inventors and creative people who make life more fun and interesting!

he nonprofit Partnership for Resilient Communities has filed its application to install a series of steel-wire ring nets across the upper reaches of several Montecito canyons. The heavily anchored net systems are designed to stop or slow debris flows should a high-intensity rainstorm cause a flood of mud, boulders, and uprooted trees similar to the natural disaster that occurred on January 9, killing 23 Montecito residents. The permitting process with the County of Santa Barbara is now underway for Hot Springs, Cold Spring, San Ysidro, and Buena Vista canyons, all of which required permission from private property owners, including Ty Warner, who owns much of the canyon above his San Ysidro Ranch resort. A net system in Romero Canyon, which requires a federal permit because it’s situated in Los Padres National Forest, is also in the works. According to the application, Hot Springs, Cold Spring, and San Ysidro canyons will each get two nets, installed

upstream from existing debris basins. For Buena Vista Canyon, which does not have a debris basin, the application is calling for seven nets above Park Lane. According to spokesperson Pat McElroy, the partnership wants to install the nets by the end of the year. To expedite the process, the application was filed on an emergency basis, McElroy added, because “there’s still an imminent danger to life and property” should another big storm trigger another debris flow. At the same time, the project must heed the Endangered Species Act because Montecito’s canyons provide critical habitat for threatened and endangered species, including steelhead trout. According to county noticing, “Anyone … is invited to submit public comment in support of or in opposition to the project … by contacting Tess Harris at 568-3319, by email to tharris@co.santa-barbara.ca.us or FAX to 568-2030.” The county is asking for comments to arrive by November 19. —Keith Hamm

Nonunion Contractors Applaud Committee Vote

city proposal to prioritize the hiring of local unionized workers for capital construction projects ran headlong into a wall of resistance Tuesday as the council’s Ordinance Committee, siding with a long line of vociferous critics, voted 2-1 against adoption. The vote, however, is merely a recommendation to the whole council, where a majority of members have expressed their support and will have the final vote.

Hart has insisted the only way to ensure highcaliber construction is to hire through union shops. In their vote against the proposal, councilmembers Randy Rowse and Kristen Sneddon said the city’s current system for awarding public works projects works just fine and nonunion contractors shouldn’t be boxed out of the bidding process. “I don’t feel it’s for me to say which type of worker we should be giving preferential treatment to,” said Sneddon.

Either cut the allocations to zero for the Lake Cachuma entire water year, the county’s Fayram advised, or adopt a two-step approach, allocating 20 percent now and 20 percent in the spring, depending on how much remains in the lake after the winter. When the bureau sided with Fayram’s two-step recommendation, the water managers cried foul. “I’m not okay with the role the county is playing,” McDonald said.

water resources manager, said the cutback “means more costs to our ratepayers to address our water shortage and increased groundwater pumping.” Santa Barbara’s stage-3 restrictions, like Goleta’s, limit the hours of outside irrigation. In Montecito, Jameson Lake has been offline since the Thomas Fire. Seventy percent of the community’s water supply is imported from the state aqueduct. It’s harder to plan for the future without knowing exactly how much will be available from Cachuma, said Doug Morgan, a member of the Montecito Water District board. Regarding the county’s recommendation, he said, “I think it was an overreach of their responsibility.” There are many competing demands on Cachuma beyond the allocations for South Coast residents. Water from the lake must be released yearly for endangered steelhead trout and downstream users, such as Lompoc Valley farmers. A “minimum pool” must be reserved to keep the lake alive. In addition, the water agencies are storing a large “carryover” account at Cachuma, made up of unused portions of their allocations from previous years. Finally, there are huge losses to evaporation—more in warm and windy weather, and less as the lake gets smaller. Fayram believes it is the county’s responsibility to weigh in with the long-term view of Cachuma’s supply. “If you end up with an overdrawn lake, who’s going to make up that water?” he said. n

TOSSED OUT: The 13 people living in the back unit at Dario Pini’s San Pascual property were evicted by receiver William Hoffman because of mold, despite a court order requiring relocation assistance. Tenant Eleodora S., pictured below babysitting for a friend, and her extended family have had their lives turned upside down.

‘The Devil Is in the Details’ Tenants Evicted, Not Relocated, After Mold Spores Found in Pini Apartment

by Jean Yamamura hrough no fault of their own, a family on San Pascual is being evicted by William Hoffman, despite a court order that forbids it. The eviction notice, dated September 13, states unhealthy mold spores were found in their apartment, a Health and Safety Code issue that should have triggered housing assistance from the receiver. But it didn’t; Hoffman, who is bringing eight of Pini’s properties up to code, states San Pascual has no money to rehouse tenants. Instead, the extended family of 13 people spent four weeks finding a new home, clear across town, which will disrupt the children’s schooling and turn all their lives upside down. But it’s just as well that they’re leaving, because Pini plans to demolish the place. Hoffman was appointed receiver in April, in charge of fixing violations big and small, from bare electrical wiring to rotten ceiling joists. The protracted trial had also considered the city’s Housing Authority as receiver since that agency is familiar with Santa Barbara’s housing shortage; the city is considered by many to be down to a half percent vacancy rate. But the receiver requested by Pini and his lenders, Hoffman and his property management company, Trigild of San Diego, won the job. Hoffman was undeniably qualified. But City Attorney Ariel Calonne went to great lengths to have the receivership established under Health and Safety codes that state the “receiver shall provide relocation benefits” because eviction was a city concern regarding Hoffman. He usually handles bank receiverships in which evicting tenants is customary. All this is cold comfort for Eleodora S. and her extended family. The two-bedroom apartment they’ve lived in for 11 years — at the cost of dealing with cockroaches, rats, and a broken-down building — rented for $1,950 and housed two sets of parents and their nine children. The men in the household work construction and were able to fix things in exchange for a rent reduction from Pini. They have always paid their rent, Eleodora said, and have the receipts to prove it. The 30-day notice her family received simply tells them to leave: “You are welcome to vacate and turn in your keys sooner without penalty,” it offers, but it makes no mention of any help in finding a new home. The mold causing their eviction sprouted after their bath16

tub developed a crack, a situation they could have bargained with Pini to fix. The three-car garage below their apartment had been stuffed full of so many tubs, sinks, doors, cabinets, and other things that the doors wouldn’t close, said family friend Ana Bello. They close now, because the tenants cleaned up the garages at Trigild’s request and without compensation. Trigild cannot barter since it must report all financial transactions to the court; work exchanged for rent has no place on its financial statements. The family living in the middle building on the lot had also bartered with Pini on the rent. Paulina said her husband is a painter, but he’d been injured on the job. The house and surrounding fence are thick with glossy gray paint, part of their work-trade deal with Pini. Now they try harder to scrape the next month’s rent together. In the big house at the front of the property, a frequently rotating collection of housemates had lived in bedrooms, the living and dining rooms, and even a closet at one point. Stepping indoors, the floor slopes decidedly to the west. Tenant Cynthia R. is moving, too, but she’s liked it there. Trigild kept the yard up — the roses were in bloom — and the management company’s traps had killed a lot of rats. Her cat, Victor, caught mice and cockroaches for her, she said. “There’s no problem here,” insisted another tenant living in a room upstairs. What Hoffman’s report ignores is the consequence of the eviction to Eleodora’s household. All the older kids in both families had graduated from McKinley Elementary; the younger ones will be the first to attend a different school. Their parents have put a brave face on the disruption to their lives, letting the young ones know that friends from their soccer team will be at the new school. For their eldest, a change of school is a blow — she is a senior in high school. Eleodora’s family has been caught in the crosshairs of Pini’s fights with Hoffman over money, which occurred monthly

until Judge Colleen Sterne stated they would sum up at the end and then argue about it. When Hoffman asked for $67,922 to tent the buildings at San Pascual and pay maintenance costs, Pini responded with a Motion for Leave to Demolish San Pascual. His attorney Paul Burns presented a jumble of numbers to show the costs could outweigh the property value, but the upshot — “Hoffman is going to blow through at least $1,317,000.00 over the next 12 months” — was that the repairs would sink the property value. In reply, Hoffman reported he would add the demolition to his list of construction projects, revising his money request to $81,522, which includes the eviction of all tenants. Three are already being evicted for nonpayment of rent. Only the city’s attorneys spoke up for the tenants at the busy hearing Friday morning. Matthew Silver reminded the court that the city’s lack of housing made losing these units an issue. Also, he noted, the receiver’s reports stated the tenants were being evicted rather than relocated, which “belies the court’s orders.” Hoffman’s attorney Fernando Landa replied that the term “eviction” had been “inartful.” Relocation would be offered to rent-paying tenants, he claimed. Hoffman’s October report indicated the San Pascual property made $6,800 in rents; since April, expenses had ranged between $46 and $4,600; Hoffman’s $5,000 receiver fee is additional. In an email exchange after the court hearing, Hoffman wrote that the property is without funds, and he was therefore unable to offer any assistance to the evicted. He’d told the court he was close to only paying utilities. Hoffman wrote that he’d contacted a third-party lender about funding but had no response. He confirmed that Eleodora’s family was being evicted for the mold problem, not for nonpayment of rent. Hoffman had reported in detail about moving 119 tenants to motels during the tenting of three properties in October and November for cockroaches, bedbugs, and termites. The eviction for mold spores was buried in a paragraph titled “Mold Investigations and Results” with no mention of relocation help. Any rehousing at San Pascual would be a lengthy process, Assistant City Attorney John Doimas acknowledged, one that would not help Eleodora’s family at this point. In court, though Silver called the landlord’s request to demolish the property “procedurally offensive,” asserting the receiver should be the shot caller on the property, he also agreed that Hoffman should manage the demolition. Burns, ever ready with the apt legal citation, said Gonzalez v. Santa Monica gave the receiver the right to consider demolition of a seriously decrepit property, should anyone have any doubts. Judge Sterne, who appreciated both Pini’s nonviable investment argument — should the numbers be borne out — and the “radical surgery” the proposal presented, observed the devil would be in the details. The court will reconvene on November 30 to consider matters that include Referee Elinor Reiner overseeing city permits for work at Pini’s own house and his hotel at 102 West Cabrillo. Reiner remains on those cases, despite the October 31 deadline for final fixes having passed. The motion to level the San Pascual property is also set for that day.

David Lewis Thoreson 05/16/41-10/10/18

It is with great sadness that the family of David Lewis Thoreson, longtime resident and personality of Santa Barbara, announces his passing in Lynchburg, Virginia, on October 10, 2018. Dave and his wife Janie had moved to Lynchburg in 2008. Dave was a beloved physical education teacher at La Colina Junior High School for 38 years where he was renowned for his enthusiasm, humor and zany approach to life circumstances. David was born in Valley City, North Dakota on May 16, 1941. His parents moved the family to Cali18

THE INDEPENDENT

fornia where Dave spent his early years in the Oceanside-Carlsbad area. He loved people and described those years almost like a Huckleberry Finn adventure. Dave never met a stranger he couldn’t find some commonality with. Dave was a talented athlete and earned a track and field scholarship to Westmont College. Dave competed in the Decathlon where he was nationally ranked for many years and won the bronze medal in the 1967 Pan American Games. His inventive mind developed the Thoreson Fitness Obstacle course which can still be found at several local schools, as well as an exercise bike for disabled people - the Hardy walker. He also came up with the idea of the 30 Minute Decathlon – a Herculean event to finish even for Olympic level athletes and not often attempted - but just crazy enough that it caught on as a right of passage for Decathletes. Dave’s score of 6233 was a World Record for several years. Dave also performed stunt work in several Disney movies. Dave is usually remembered with a smile and a humorous tale by all who came in contact with him, including those he competed against in track. But he was probably best known in Santa Barbara as “Mr. Thoreson” to the many thousands of La Colina Junior High students who enjoyed his unconventionality, such as running up the sides of walls, jumping over seemingly too high objects, and his ability to motivate students to push themselves beyond what they believed they were able to do physically. David was an institution at La Colina. Even in retirement it was not uncommon, when walking around the Santa Barbara area with Dave, for adults - sometimes with children of their own - to hail Dave with a big smile and, “Hey Mr Thoreson. Do you remember me?” To which Dave always answered, “Of course I do!” Dave is lovingly remembered by his wife, Janie, of 43 years, and his children, Ozzie Thoreson, Mike Patton, Lisa Patton (deceased), Tamara Orozco, Tye Thoreson, Tiffany Wallace, and seven grandchildren and his siblings, Cheryl Johnson, Jack Thoreson, and all their spouses and kids. But especially Dave “Mr Thoreson” will be remembered by the kids - kids young and old - because Dave was always a kid at heart. Memories of Dave can be sent to HeyMrThoreson@gmail.com

Dr. Laurence Conrad “Larry” Mansbach, beloved father, grandfather and pediatrician, took his final bow surrounded by friends and family on October 28, 2018 at Cottage Hospital in Santa Barbara, California. He was 82 years old. Larry was born on February 26, 1936 in Brooklyn, New York to Milton and Florence Mansbach. He attended Cornell University as an undergraduate and went on to earn his medical degree from New York Medical College. Next it was on to Yale University for pediatrics followed by several years overseas in France and Germany as pediatrician for the United States Army. In 1969, Larry moved to Santa Barbara with his wife Judy and children, Jennifer and Michael, where he joined the Santa Barbara Medical Foundation Clinic Department of Pediatrics. As a pediatrician for decades in Santa Barbara, Larry loved taking care of children, their children and even their children’s children. It made his day when someone would come up to him and ask “Dr. Mansbach, do you remember me?” or tell him about something he did that changed their life even when he was travelling far from home. His true passion was theatre, especially musical theatre. Larry spent years on stage in Santa Barbara in a wide variety of roles and is probably best known for his recurring role as Mother Ginger in the annual holiday performance of The Nutcracker. Larry is survived by his daughter Jennifer, his son Michael, (wife-Jennifer) his brothers Peter and Richard, grandchildren Jeffrey, Ashley, Tyler, Jacob and Joseph, and his former wives Judy and Joan.

Brian Dale Abbott, 70, of Camarillo, California unexpectedly and suddenly passed away from an unknown medical condition on October 26th 2018. Brian was born September 21st 1948 in Belvidere, Illinois, to Myron (Bud) and Ruby Abbott. He married Robin Glahn in 1973. Brian grew up in a US Navy family and lived in many different countries all over the world before settling in Lompoc, California where he attended Cabrillo High School. He loved athletics and was a Letterman varsity football player and wrestler. Brian went on to San Jose State University to earn a Bachelor’s degree in Administrative Justice. He pursued a career in law enforcement with the Santa Barbara Police Department in September 1971. In 1984 the City of Santa Barbara presented Brian with the H. Thomas Guerry Award for his exemplary actions. In 1973, while working as a uniformed patrol officer Brian was wounded in a shootout with an armed suspect. The audio recording of the shootout is utilized to this day as a fine example of an Officer under fire. In 1976 while assigned to the Investigative Division as part of the Officer’s Coordinating Council aided in establishing a more efficient and responsive juvenile justice system. In 1976 an unidentified serial rapist terrorized the city of Santa Barbara. Brian now a Detective with Major Crimes Investigations contacted a witness in a separate murder case in 1977. During that interview, Brian realized that the witness had the same physical features and demeanor as the suspect in the unsolved rape cases. Initially only acting on a strong intuitive feeling he began an extensive investigation and eventually arrested that rape suspect. His keen sense and perseverance went on to clear twelve unsolved rape cases in the City, one at the University, and one in the County jurisdiction. The Coordinator of the Rape Crisis

Center reached out articulating the “gratefulness of the Center’s personnel for Brian’s individual sensitivity in working with rape and assault victims.” The Guerry award continues to be the most coveted and respected award an officer or deputy can receive in Santa Barbara County. Brian went on to become a Sgt. Detective of Homicide Investigations. As a Detective, he spent most of his career in Homicide/ Special Investigations, to this date being the longest period for a Detective to work in Homicide. The crime novelist, Sue Grafton, utilized Brian’s knowledge of homicide investigations citing Brian as a resource in two of her crime novels. Brian as a lifetime athlete finished over 30 combined marathons and ultra-marathons, including a youth charity event for the Santa Barbara CityCounty-State-Federal Law Enforcement, “The Extra Mile,” an ultra-relay marathon, extending 36 miles. He averaged an impressive 8 minute 34 second mile. Equally impressive, Brian was the only participant to run and finish the entire 36 miles. Brian retired from the Santa Barbara Police Department on March 9th 2002 to take up his next career as a sport fisherman and avid tennis player. He loved to be out on the water with friends fishing the California coastline. He participated with California Fish and Game through a Tagging Grant in conservation efforts of various Rockfish species in the Channel Islands waters. Many people he spent time with on the ocean will miss his sense of humor and infectious personality. His silhouette, pole bending over the ocean, sunset in the background, will be etched in our minds as we continue to move forward after our loss. Brian will continue to be an inspiration and lovingly remembered by his children, Andrew and Kelli Abbott-Stoytchev, his mother Ruby Abbott, the mother of his children Robin Abbott, his sister Judy Carney, brother Bruce (Ann) Abbott and many nieces, nephews and other relatives. A memorial service will be held at Harry’s Plaza in the Banquette room on Saturday, November 17th 2018 at 4pm.

Victor John Giglio David Curland, 91, passed away peacefully on October 13, 2018, in Santa Barbara. He was a practical idealist, a rebel against injustice, and an admired teacher who inspired a love of language and culture. David was born in Phoenix on December 1, 1926. He learned Yiddish from his parents, who emigrated from Russia in the early 1900’s, and then learned German from a local friend of the family. This led to a lifelong interest in languages and an academic career in Spanish. David graduated from the first class of North Phoenix High School and volunteered for the Army Reserve. During basic training at Fort Roberts, the army selected him to travel to Yale University to study Chinese and then assigned him to occupation duty in Korea as a translator. He often told the story of seeing a Chinese train arrive loudly in Seoul with an enormous red star on the front of the locomotive. In Los Angeles after the army he met Agnes during a political rally. They married in 1950. David used his veteran’s benefits to earn a degree from UCLA and began teaching Spanish at a Culver City high school. During that era the school required a “loyalty oath” which he refused to sign as a protest against McCarthyism. As a result he relocated his family to Oregon, which did not require a loyalty oath. David is still remembered by former students at Willamette High School and the University of Oregon. He organized international language conferences, which brought teachers and funding to the U of O campus. He advanced the use of video in teaching and wrote the educational film series “Zarabanda” adopted by hundreds of schools nationwide. David co-authored and edited the widely used “Hispanidades” a multimedia series based upon “The Buried Mirror” by Carlos Fuentes. In 1998 David learned that he had an entire "half-family" living in Boston. As was his nature he welcomed them into his life without reservation and they welcomed him. They were a huge part of the rest of his life and continue to be an important part of his west-coast family's lives. Agnes preceded him 20

In the loving presence of his wife, Linda and his adored daughter Jennifer, Vic bid us farewell on his next journey. Everyone that knew Vic had heard his story of leaving his beloved family and town of Avon, Ct. for a warmer climate. After attending University of Ct. at Storrs, he headed West with a friend. They had many adventures along the way running out of gas and money in Santa Barbara in 1964. Thanks to the generosity of 2 particular S.B. families, the DeLapa’s and the Orlando’s, Vic soon had a job and a place to live. Two years later he met the love of his life, Linda. They married 4 months later. 1973 their treasured daughter, Jennifer, was born and the rest is history. Vic worked most of his adult life as a drywall installer. Above all he believed his greatest accomplishment in life was his pride and joy, Jennifer. In 2000 Jennifer married and now he had Sean who he loved like a son. Then along came the lights of his life two grandsons, Connor (10) and Trevor (8). Vic loved sports playing both football and baseball in high school and college. He loved the game of golf and so enjoyed playing with his buddies at S.B. Golf Club and marshalling there for 15 years. He especially loved coaching his daughter’s softball teams. He valiantly fought advanced colon cancer for over 4 years. He credited his success to his amazing Oncologist, Greg Newman, M.D. and the “A Team” oncology staff and nurses at Sansum/Ridley Tree Cancer Clinic. He felt he had the best medical care and support additionally from Drs. Douglas Cummings, Michael Shenoda , Henry Han and the wonderful nurses and doctors at Cottage Hospital. Vic is survived by his wife of 51 years, Linda (Todd), loving daughter Jen and son-in-law, Sean, grandsons Connor and Trevor, his brothers

Nelson “Hank” Pfister

Nelson Henry “Hank” Pfister, age 79, of Santa Barbara, CA, passed away on Oct. 15, 2018 surrounded by family following his long-term and valiant battle with Parkinson’s disease. He fought the disease in the way he led his life: with grace, care for the people around him, grit and faith in God. Hank was born in 1939 and raised in Burbank, CA. Upon graduation from the University of Southern California in 1961, he was commissioned an Ensign in the U. S. Navy and assigned to the USS Renshaw, a destroyer based in Pearl Harbor. By the end of his three-year stint, which included service in Vietnam, he had been promoted to Chief Engineer. His Navy service matured Hank and prepared him for a life that included a love for his country and an abiding patriotism that remained steadfast his entire life. Throughout his service to his country and later as an election volunteer, he believed deeply in the democratic process. As he transitioned to civilian life and returned to USC for his Masters in Business Administration, he met the love of his life, fellow student Andrea Haley of Ventura County, CA. The couple raised their two children, Eric and Marilee in Newport Beach. While Hank held a number of

senior management positions, he felt work was a means of ensuring his family was cared for and as a backdrop to do what was really important in life: spending time with his wife, his children and his friends. He adored coaching youth sports and sharing his passion for skiing and the mountains. Other times he could be found in the garage repairing something for a friend. Hank and Andrea moved to Santa Barbara in 2001, where he became well known for his volunteerism and leadership in several community organizations. His values of respect, integrity and honesty were hallmarks in each organization in which he volunteered or led – as well as his remarkable ability to make those around him feel special. His sense of humor was legend. Hank is survived by his loved and loving wife Andrea; son Eric, daughter-in-law Malia, and their children Katherine and Davis; and daughter, Marilee, son-in-law Ron Grossheim, and their children, Emma and Haley. The family would like to thank all of Hank’s caregivers who supported him and Andrea in the decade that he fought Parkinson’s, especially Dan, Pam and Sofia. In lieu of flowers, donations in Hank’s memory may be made to the Navy-Marine Corps Relief Society (www.nmcrs.org) or the Parkinson’s Association of Santa Barbara. A memorial service will be held Saturday, Nov. 10, 2018 at 11 a.m. at All Saints-by-the-Sea Episcopal Church in Montecito. His ashes will be interred in the family plot at Ivy Lawn Cemetery in Ventura, CA.

Sue Forster Vincent 09/30/37-10/15/18

Sue Forster Vincent, beloved wife, mother, grandmother and friend, passed away peacefully on October 15, 2018 at her home in Santa Barbara. Born on September 30, 1937 in Battle Creek, Michigan, Sue was the daughter of a dentist and a teacher, Burton T. Forster and Carol Reynolds Forster. Sue graduated from the University of Arizona and the University of Pennsylvania where she received a Master’s Degree in Guidance & Counseling in 1961. Sue met the love of her life, Dr. Nicholas J. Vincent, at Penn in 1959 and they married in 1962. She taught world history and English and was a school counselor while Nick was a flight surgeon in the U.S.

Navy in Fallon, Nevada, and later became a substitute teacher in San Francisco for four years while Nick completed his residency. Sue and Nick moved to Santa Barbara in 1969 where Nick practiced ophthalmology for 31 years. In 1970 they welcomed their first son Scott and less than two years later, twins John and Jim. Sue was a devoted mother and strong advocate for education. She combined these passions in 1975 when she was elected to serve the first of two terms on the board of the Hope Elementary School District, at the same time volunteering as a docent at the Santa Barbara Historical Society Museum. In 1988, Sue joined the Assistance League of Santa Barbara, serving for 25 years in nearly every leadership position including President. She made her mark in all of the organization’s programs – serving infants to seniors – but never more than in 2000 when she created the Fostering Friends program to help foster youth when they are emancipated from foster care. In 2012 the Santa Barbara Neighborhood Clinics named Sue their Healthcare Hero – recognizing her for a decade of tireless work at the Eastside Family Dental Clinic where she taught families dental hygiene and nutrition as part of Santa Barbara Smiles, an Assistance League program she helped create. Sue was an early and active member of the Women’s Fund of Santa Barbara for 12 years, serving for two years as a volunteer researcher. Sue had a passion for tennis, golf, a long-running book club and a gourmet group that thrived for 40 years. She chaired the Women’s Golf Association at La Cumbre Country Club in 2011-12. Sue’s generosity in giving her time and talents to the community was surpassed only by the kindness she offered without hesitation to her friends and family. Spirited and direct, courageous and never complaining, Sue was a woman of integrity, honesty and compassion. She led a purposeful life. Sue is survived by son Scott, his wife Rachil and grandsons Justin and Nate in Santa Barbara; son John and his wife Amelija in Santa Barbara; son Jim, his wife Lori and grandchildren Dylan, Riley, Ella and Finn in Pacific Palisades. Sue was predeceased by her loving husband of 51 years, her parents and her brother Joel Forster. A funeral mass will be held at 2 p.m. on Friday, October 26 at the Old Mission Santa Barbara followed by a reception at La Cumbre Country Club. In lieu of flowers, memorials may be made to the Assistance League of Santa Barbara, 1259 Veronica Springs Road, Santa Barbara, 93105.

he main hub of The French Press and Dune Coffee Roasters operates from the corner of Anacapa and Cota streets. Our main business driver has always been our symbiotic relationship with the Saturday Farmers Market; its presence is why we signed a longterm lease here instead of moving to Goleta. We are committed to downtown’s long-term success and want our taxes paid here. We are stressed and angry to hear that the city may relocate the police station to the parking lot across the street. This move seems very ill thought-out, especially when downtown is in a complete crisis. The Farmers Market is one of the few events that genuinely create foot traffic, which turns into dollars for downtown businesses. The business we do on Saturday sustains us through the week. Other businesses would be deeply impacted by this move, to say nothing of the vibrant and thriving market that would be displaced. It’s a destination for tourists and locals and an intersection for Santa Barbara. I am asking the city to consider how negatively this move would impact the entirety of the downtown community. There must be a better choice for this much-needed new police station.

he Saturday Farmers Market has paired farmers and the community for 35 years. It is a primary income source for many member farmers and a primary food source for many shoppers. It is unfortunate that the city would ask its inhabitants to take sides between two critically important functions—public safety and food security. Building the police station here would be a serious setback for the market, one that could take years to recover from. For some farmers, the financial setback could be insurmountable. Mayor and City Council, please consider another location. To the community, please stand up for us, write letters, attend meetings, and, of course, come to the market. —Noey Turk, president, Santa Barbara Certified Farmers Market Association Board of Directors

Locals Buy Local

egarding the “union only” agreement being proposed for Public Works jobs, as the Santa Barbara Contractors Association states, most, if not an

overwhelming majority, of our local building force are nonunion. If passed, most of these jobs would be awarded to out-of-town contractors. From my 20 years of experience supplying tile, out-of-town contractors typically turn to material suppliers from their given area, just as contractors here support local suppliers like us or Hayward Lumber and Santa Barbara Stone. Here’s where the ripple comes in. When a local architect or designer starts the process, jobs awarded here increase the likelihood that a Santa Barbara material supplier will get the sale, which means dollars to the salesperson, who spends his or her dollars locally, at a coffee shop like the Lighthouse in the morning or Lito’s for lunch, and maybe at The Mill for some great dinner at Wildwood followed by a nightcap with Willy at the Pickle Room. In one day, that commission check has cycled through four to five places. It’s no coincidence that I have sold tile to all these places. And they all have employees who depend on me, and other contractors, subcontractors, and the like, whose purchases ripple out to clothing stores, restaurants, bookstores, and so on. We keep talking about State Street and how to revitalize it so people will come back, yet we are looking to award large projects to those not local, thus ensuring the money from those projects will be spent anywhere but here. —Brendan Blouin, manager, Buena Tile + Stone

COVER STORY SOCIAL-EMOTIONAL STUDENTS: AHA! is helping Santa Barbara High School implement social-emotional learning, which helps students cope with stress.

STOPPING

by Camie Barnwell

SUICIDE IN OUR

SCHOOLS S.B.’S EDUCATIONAL SYSTEM

here’s an undercurrent of teenage emotional distress that’s causing Santa Barbara school leaders to rethink how they educate students. The catalyst: a series of teen deaths in the county and more than 100 attempted teen suicides in Santa Barbara Unified School District over the past two years —along with findings that show some Santa Barbara secondary students report high levels of stress, depression, anxiety, and feelings of isolation. With nationwide trends mirroring what we see happening here, Santa Barbara educators and their community mental-health partners are rallying behind an instructional intervention that has the power to create a true sea of change. Known as social-emotional learning (SEL), the approach teaches students about self-awareness, self-management, responsible decision-making, and relationship and social awareness: all soft skills foundationally important to becoming a healthy adult. They’re also critical skills for surviving and thriving in the often tumultuous teenage years, when the part of the brain that controls reasoning, emotions, decisionmaking, and judgment is not yet fully developed. Fresh from a conference in New Mexico on the benefits of social-emotional education, Frann Wageneck, Santa Barbara Unified School District assistant superintendent of

Student Services, wants to see an infusion of SEL integrated throughout the K-12 school day. She said the New Mexico convening reconfirmed what educators here have come to realize. “The keynote speaker said that emotional distress is one of the defining characteristics of this generation — the postmillennials — and that really hit me in the gut,” said Wageneck, whose role includes supporting school counselors and serving as the point person for community mental-health partners. “We are seeing a lot of emotional distress in our students. In terms of youth mental health and the epidemic of suicide attempts in the last few years, we need to get control of that.”

SUICIDE SIGNALS

Last year, Santa Barbara Unified School District counselors were trained on and then delivered the Signs of Suicide (SOS) program to 8,456 students in grades 7-12. The program focuses on depression awareness and suicide prevention and includes a dramatization video with lessons on recognizing

“red flag” students who need immediate support from a trusted adult. Also included is a mental-health screening that asks students whether they’ve ever attempted suicide or experienced suicidal thoughts or feelings of depression. The findings, which Wageneck shared with district officials in June, revealed the following: • 62 suicide attempts reported in grades 7-12 (2016-17) • 41 suicide attempts reported in grades 7-12 (2017-18) • 625 students seen by a counselor or therapist • 168 students “red flagged” • 14 safety calls made, meaning a student was checked on immediately • 29 community mental-health professionals involved The data validates the trend that many educators may have felt for some time but have been unable to establish in scope. A lingering stigma associated with admitting depression or mental illness can cause students to bottle up emotions. And there is extreme delicacy around the topic of suicide. There were four confirmed teen suicides in our region in the past two years. In some cases, there’s doubt as to whether a death was caused by suicide or was accidental, which can lead to confusion and ambiguity. These considerations must be balanced against the need for a larger, open, honest community discussion around causes and prevention strategies, according to those who work directly with students. “The pressures and effects of cell phones and social media can cause students to get caught in a comparison game,” falsely thinking that other people’s lives are better than their own, explained Laura Dorfman, a Santa Barbara teacher on special assignment as coordinator of district-wide restorative approaches and social-emotional

Jennifer Freed is cofounder/codirector of AHA! (Attitude, Harmony, Achievement), a Santa Barbara organization that has provided SEL to thousands of area youth since its founding in 1999. The call for more social-emotional education is music to Freed’s ears. Currently, AHA! is involved in Santa Barbara schools during students’ freshman year via freshman seminar or health class, but the organization has limited interaction with students after that unless a student chooses to attend an AHA! after-school or summer program. Freed has noticed that teens may internalize societal, technological, and political angst. NEW-SCHOOL TEACHER: AHA!’s Melissa Lowenstein is helping “Hating has become much more popular students overcome what she calls a “toxic combination of lonelisince leadership in this country lauds bullying ness/isolation, fear, and uncertainty.” behavior; digital obsessiveness and consequent rampant disassociation contribute to massive Santa Barbara High 11th-grader Jacqueline Moralienation and loneliness,” said Freed. “All kids are at high risk because if they feel despair and desolation, rison says she looks forward to the weekly visit from their brains do not have the objectivity of this period AHA! counselors, which always includes sharing in passing.

But there is no mandatory coursework on building good coping skills, problem-solving, or navigating the pressures of life. Educational research supports the idea that social, emotional, and academic learning can go hand-inhand, and Wageneck wants to see that happen here. “It’s easy to think of socio-emotional learning as a separate curriculum, but in the 21st century, we need to speak about school in a different way,” Wageneck said. “The compartmentalization of academic subjects really doesn’t serve today’s children and youth.

TALKING IT OUT: Santa Barbara High senior Sky Mainz is one of many students positively affected by the new lessons and group talks. “Counselors should be teaching young people how to have good balance in life — not too much tunnel vision, where they focus too much on one thing and get too consumed by one thing,” Mainz said.

Sky Mainz, a senior at Santa Barbara High, spoke candidly about how she views the paradox of today’s teenager: on the cusp of adulthood and yet somehow already knee-deep in adult-like stress. “With the pressure of academics and school, it’s sometimes just too much,” said Mainz. Not unlike most of her friends, she’s balancing a full load of advanced-placement courses, a varsity sport, a job, college application deadlines, and a social and family life. Juggling those responsibilities is one thing, but for Mainz and other students, there was a toll taken following the deaths of several peers, not to mention the sense of devastation, in the wake of the Montecito debris flow. “Counselors should be teaching young people how to have good balance in life—not too much tunnel vision, where they focus too much on one thing and get too consumed by one thing,” Mainz said. “I think that’s why I fall behind sometimes. It’s hard to have both: balance and staying on top of academics. For kids who have tunnel vision, when something doesn’t go the way they want it to, it becomes life or death for them. And it’s just so sad.” Santa Barbara High Principal Elise Simmons said she’s convinced that social-emotional learning can be embedded throughout the school day as teachers are supported and trained to rethink how they relate to students. “What it comes down to is students feel, ‘I just need somebody I know loves and cares about me, and helps me find my passion, and wants me to do well in my life,’ ” said Simmons. “As adults, we need to help them, love them, get to know them and what their passions are, and create a n space for them to soar and thrive.”

NOW SHOWING ➤ O Beautiful Boy

(120 mins., R)

As the American drug epidemic reaches unprecedented heights, director Felix van Groeningen’s Beautiful Boy, which draws from the memoirs of real fatherson pair David and Nic Sheff, feels impassioned and timely. Largely angled from a parent’s viewpoint, it follows journalist David Sheff (Steve Carell) as he watches his teenage son, Nic (Timothée Chalamet), slip into methamphetamine addiction. David desperately harnesses all of his investigative journalist skills and all of his fatherly intuition to protect his son. However, after cyclical rehabilitations and stomachchurning relapses, it becomes dreadfully obvious that Nic may be beyond his father’s reach. Throughout somewhat obscure episodic flashbacks, Chalamet is beautifully devastating as he toes the line between a young man in the throes of crystal meth dependency and

a thoughtful kid yearning to live and love like he once did. His performance keeps the movie stitched together when its thread runs thin. The film raises questions it infuriatingly dances around (exactly how did Nic get addicted, for example?), but there is a power that lies in the film’s refusal to resolve the whys and hows and what-nows of a prevalent but stigmatized disease: There simply are no clear answers. Underlined by an aptly genre-bending soundtrack and the poignant recitation of a Charles Bukowski poem at the end of the credits, Beautiful Boy is effective and heartbreaking, proposing that the best we can — and must — offer those plagued by addiction is empathy and honesty.

O First Man

(141 mins., PG-13)

First Man, the new Neil Armstrong biopic starring Ryan Gosling, opens with him falling up. Armstrong is testing a new high-altitude rocket plane when his controls freeze and he starts bouncing off the atmosphere into the inky blackness of space. The scene is one of a handful in the film that captures, perhaps better than any other astronaut flick, the heart-skipping unpredictability and spine-rattling ferocity of spaceflight. But we can watch Gosling’s face (as pretty as it might be) shake and grimace for only so long before the trick gets old, which is exactly what happens by the final scene, a sweeping crescendo of light and moonscape that should have stirred but instead just sputters. Still, the film succeeds on enough other fronts to make

O Halloween

(106 mins., R)

Halloween is a landmark in modern horror sequels. Contemporary horror movies often lose themselves with jump-scare tactics, forgoing a bonechilling narrative that will keep viewers on the edge of their seat. Halloween avoids that pitfall by doing away with the parody tropes that plague faulty sequels and instead introduces compelling characters who are dealing with paranoia and post-traumatic stress disorder. It’s been 40 years since the infamous serial killer, Michael Myers, who is now incarcerated, stalked Laurie Strode (Jamie Lee Curtis), but she has spent her life preparing for his return, raising her daughter, Karen (Judy Greer), as a survivalist in a fortified home. Myers escapes during a prison bus crash and searches out Strode, the only survivor of his 1978 killing spree. Some sequences are laughable due to their predictability; some are laugh-out-loud funny thanks to screenwriter Danny McBride. But much of the film induces dread as Myers approaches his potential kills. Ultimately, director David Gordon Green provides a sense of closure between Strode and Myers. (JR)

O The Happy Prince

(105 mins., R)

Not to be confused with Oscar Wilde’s short story of the same name, the film The Happy Prince is neither about a fictional royal nor a particular “happy” tale but rather is the story of the celebrated author and playwright. The Dublinborn Wilde (1854-1900) is depicted in all his eloquent quippery and societal scandal making — he was a homosexual in an era when such a predisposition was criminal. Veteran British actor Rupert Everett is a triple threat here, as writer, director, and star of the biopic (with Colin Firth and Emily Watson also in the cast) that mostly dwells on Wilde’s travails leading up to and after his two years of hard labor for “gross indecency.” The film inspires and meanders by turns, but Everett is a magnetizing center of the narrative storm.

“QUIETLY RIVETING STUNNER”

➤ O Suspiria (84 mins., R)

Jonah Hill marks his directorial debut with an ode to skate culture, a cinematic love letter to the symbiotic relationship between skateboarding and the human condition. Yet the narrative also delves into finding a surrogate family when one’s blood relatives are emotionally absent. Thirteen-year-old Stevie (Sunny Suljic) escapes his dysfunctional home by hitting the streets of Los Angeles with his skateboard in hand. There he finds solace and camaraderie with a group of young skaters — Ruben (Gio Galicia), Ray (Na-kel Smith), Fuckshit (Olan Prenatt), and Fourth Grade (Ryder McLaughlin). Stevie isn’t very good at skateboarding and repeatedly puts himself in danger attempting tricks to feel something via physical pain. Hill cast actual skateboarders, rather than seasoned actors, to play the main characters in the film, and thanks to his great attention to detail, the film bubbles over with nostalgic moments of the ’90s when skateboarding was truly taking off. (JR) The Hitchcock Nobody’s Fool (110 mins., R) Tyler Perry directs this comedy about two sisters, Tanya (Tiffany Haddish), who was recently released from prison, and Danica (Tika Sumpter), who Tanya suspects has been catfished by an online suitor. Together they seek revenge. Amber Riley, Mehcad Brooks, and Whoopi Goldberg also star.

LEE CHANG-DONG

(152 mins., R)

Dario Argento’s classic 1977 horror film Suspiria is a distinct mix of ’70s aesthetics that would seem difficult to re-create without it seeming like retro kitsch. The remake by Luca Guadagnino (Call Me by Your Name), though, captures the sensory essence of the original while elevating it to diabolical epic. Dakota Johnson plays Susie, a dancer from Ohio drawn to Berlin in 1977 by a world-renowned dance corps led by Tilda Swinton’s Madame Blanc. There, dancers whisper about witchcraft while their instructors maintain an unsettling command over them, body and soul. A muted palette lends dull horror to blood-splashed scenes. Claustrophobic sound editing and impressionistic montages transmit raw effect. And Damien Jalet’s demonic choreography, in which dancers extend and contract as though puppeted by an unseen force, is transfixing and reason enough to watch the film. If you found something sublime in Trump’s notorious abjection of Megyn Kelly —“There was a blood coming out of her eyes, blood coming out of her wherever”— Guadagnino’s Suspiria will be a feast.

Soccer, Football, and Water Polo Woes; College Basketball Heating Up; and More LAST BIG SPLASH: San Marcos senior James Oriskovich (above) loomed large, but Servite defeated the Royals in the CIF quarterfinals, ending their first season under coach Peera Sukavivatanachai.

JOHN ZANT’S GAME OF THE WEEK 11/10: College Football: Pasadena at Santa Barbara City College Heading into its final game of the season Saturday afternoon, SBCC’s 2-7 record does not reflect the team that ended a seven-game losing streak last week by crushing Santa Monica, 41-0. Coach Craig Moropoulos had said all season long that the Vaqueros were not giving up, and their perseverance paid off as quarterback Franco De Luca, promoted from the fifth string because of injuries, passed for 202 yards (completing 16 of 19), and running backs Clifton Taylor and Tamir Walker combined to gain 215 yards on the ground. Pasadena (3-6) is coming off a 42-24 victory over L.A. Harbor. In their previous two games, the Lancers came up just short against L.A. Pierce (44-43) and Santa Monica (28-27). 1pm.

Boston College football lineman. But James was not super-sized when he came into the world. “He was six weeks early,” said his mother, Katie. He spent his first days in the pediatric ICU. San Marcos freshman goalie Ben Webber parried away a number of Servite shots, but Ocasio scored with power shots and some backhand punches. “Guillermo is a lot to deal with,” said Royals first-year coach Peera Sukavivatanachai. Sukavivatanachai is no stranger to the water polo scene. He played for San Marcos a decade ago, and media outlets are again getting familiar with his last name, which sets the record in my book that was previously held by Westmont College sprinter Jean-Louis Ravelomanantsoa. Meanwhile, Mark Walsh, Santa Barbara High’s coach for 22 years, marches on. After the Dons finished behind Dos Pueblos (ousted in the Division 2 playoffs) and San Marcos in the league standings, Walsh has taken them into this week’s Division 3 semifinals against top-seeded Los Osos. He has 13 CIF boys’ and girls’ titles to his credit. In college men’s water polo, UCSB is ranked No. 6 in the nation with an 18-8 record. The Gauchos will play their final home match at noon on Saturday (Nov. 10) against No. 7 Pepperdine. The teams are coached a pair of former U.S. Olympic team captains, Pepperdine’s Terry Schroeder and UCSB’s Wolf Wigo. Schroeder, the most decorated American player ever, came out of San Marcos High. No water polo coach is having a better year than Chuckie Roth. He led the San Marcos High girls to the CIF Division 1 title in March, and last week he guided the SBCC women’s team to its fifth consecutive Western State Conference championship. The Vaqueros are defending state champions and will try to repeat with Emma Fraser, sophomore Emma Fraser, last year’s state tourSBCC water polo nament MVP, leading the way.

he match game was not favorable to Santa Barbara teams in postseason playoffs last week. UCSB was ousted by its nemesis, Cal State Fullerton, on a penalty-kick shootout in the Big West men’s soccer tournament. The Gaucho women did reach the conference championship game, won by Long Beach State, 2-0. In the first round of CIF football playoffs, strong foes to the south resoundingly dismissed all four Channel League entries by scores of 55-7, 43-7, 35-0 and 24-7. Bishop Diego played one of the best games of the weekend and suffered the pain of coming close: a 38-35 defeat at Saugus that was decided by a last-play field goal. Cate School will be around a while in the 8-man playoffs. The No. 1–ranked Rams opened with an 88-15 thrashing of Desert Christian. Their high-powered attack will blow against Windward in Los Angeles on Friday afternoon. In boys’ water polo, San Marcos faced a tough matchup against Servite High of Anaheim in the CIF Division 3 quarterfinals last Saturday. The Royals had squeaked out a pair of one-goal wins on the road to reach the quarters, and they were down just 6-5 midway through the first half against the Friars. But then Guillermo Ocasio, a forceful Servite junior center, blew the game wide open. Ocasio scored eight goals of his own and opened up spaces for his teammates to shoot in a 16-7 victory over the Royals.

an open practice last Saturday and impressed folks with their athleticism and depth of talent. Several transfers have bolstered the Gauchos around AllBig West junior guard Max Heidegger. They include Ar’mond Davis, a 66 guard who last played for Alabama and is a UCSB graduate student; JaQuori McLaughlin, a sophomore guard from Oregon State; and Devearl Ramsey, a sophomore point guard from Nevada. “I love our team,” said Davis, who scored in double digits 10 times at Alabama, including a 19-point effort against South Carolina. “We’re really going to be good. We haven’t played together much, but we’re trying to put it all together.” If the Gauchos have early growing pains, they will be exploited when they play their first two games on the road at Wyoming and North Dakota State. Their home opener will be Tuesday (Nov. 13) against Cal Lutheran, followed by an afternoon contest Saturday (Nov. 17) against Montana State. UCSB’s women play their home opener Friday (Nov. 9) against CSU Bakersfield. In an exhibition game last week, the Gauchos thumped Cal State San Bernardino, 70-53, as 64 junior center Natalia Bruening scored 18 points and 15 gathered in rebounds. The return of Coco Miller, who was injured last year, fortifies the Gaucho backcourt along with sophomore Danae Miller (no relation). Westmont College made it to the NAIA women’s national championship game last year and starts out this season with a No. 8 ranking. The Warriors were competitive in a pair of exhibitions against the Pac-12 Conference, losing 79-62 at Cal and 75-55 at UCLA. They will host a pair of 5:30 p.m. games at Murchison Gym this weekend, facing Claremont-MuddScripps on Friday and Westcliff on Saturday. Westmont’s men, ranked No. 23 in the NAIA, won their regular-season opener at Portland Bible (Ore.), 109-75. The Warriors’ next home game will be Nov. 17 against La Sierra. During these times when attending a single NBA game can set you back 100 bucks or more (especially more for the Lakers since LeBron James arrived), a great bargain can be found in purchasing a ticket for a season’s worth of college games. UCSB men’s season passes start at $135 for individuals and $300 for a family of five ($125/$250 for the women). Westmont, which has both teams playing in doubleheaders during the conference season, offers a season-long deal known as Coach’s Circle for $50 individual and $100 family. SBCC is off to a 2-0 start in women’s basketball last weekend after topping Taft, 69-68, on Sierra Cavaletto’s buzzer beater, and pulling away from Butte, 77-56. The Vaqueros will host seven teams in their MTXE Tournament (signifying “mental toughness/extra effort”) at the Sports Pavilion Friday-Sunday (Nov. 9-11). They open against De Anza at 6 p.m. Friday. n

NOVEMBER 8, 2018

THE INDEPENDENT

FREE WILL ASTROLOGY by Rob Breszny ARIES (Mar. 21-Apr. 19): In 1994, Aries pop diva Mariah Carey

collaborated with an associate to write the song “All I Want For Christmas Is You.” It took them 15 minutes to finish it. Since then it has generated $60 million in royalties. I wish I could unconditionally predict that you, too, will efficiently spawn a valuable creation sometime soon. Current planetary alignments do indeed suggest that such a development is more possible than usual. But because I tend to be conservative in my prophecies, I won’t guarantee anything close to the $60 million figure. In fact, your reward may be more spiritual in nature than financial.

TAURUS (Apr. 20-May 20): An interactive post at Reddit.com asked

readers to write about “the most underrated feeling of all time.” One person said, “When you change the sheets on your bed.” Another extolled “the feeling that comes when you pay all your bills and you’ve still got money in the bank.” Others said, “dancing under the rain,” “physical contact like a pat on the back when you’re really touch starved,” and “listening to a song for the first time and it’s so good you just can’t stop smiling.” I bring this to your attention, Taurus, because I suspect that the next two weeks will bring you a flood of these pleasurable underrated feelings.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20): “Beer makes you feel the way you ought

to feel without beer,” wrote Gemini author Henry Lawson. Do you have any methods for making yourself feel as if you’ve drunk a few beers that don’t involve drinking a few beers? If not, I highly recommend that you find at least one. It will be especially important in the coming weeks for you to have a way to alter, expand, or purify your consciousness without relying on literal intoxicants or drugs. The goal: to leave your groove before it devolves into a rut.

CANCER (June 21-July 22): Study the following five failed predic-

tions. (1) “There is no likelihood man can ever tap the power of the atom.” —Robert Millikan, Nobel Laureate

in Physics, 1923. (2) “This ‘telephone’ has too many shortcomings to be seriously considered as a means of communication. The device is inherently of no value to us.” —Western Union internal memo, 1876. (3) “Rail travel at high speeds is not possible because passengers, unable to breathe, would die of asphyxia.” —Dionysius Lardner, scientist, 1830. (4) “There is no reason anyone would want a computer in their home.” —Ken Olson, president of Digital Equipment Corporation, 1977. (5) “Most Cancerians will never overcome their tendencies toward hypersensitivity, procrastination, and fear of success.” —Lanira Kentsler, astrologer, 2018. (P.S. What you do in the next 12 months could go a long way toward permanently refuting the last prediction.)

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): German scientists have created

“Where your pain is, there your heart lies also.” (PS: Rumi is translated by Coleman Barks; Kamienska by Clare Cavanagh.)

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): Artist David Hockney is proud of how undemanding he is toward his friends and associates. “People tell me they open my e-mails first,” he says, “because they aren’t demands and you don’t need to reply. They’re simply for pleasure.” He also enjoys giving regular small gifts. “I draw flowers every day and send them to my friends so they get fresh blooms.” Hockney seems to share the perspective expressed by author Gail Godwin, who writes, “How easy it was to make people happy, when you didn’t want or need anything from them.” In accordance with astrological omens, Libra, I suggest you have fun employing these approaches in the coming weeks.

VIRGO

SAGITTARIUS

(Aug. 23-Sept. 22): Here’s useful wisdom from the poet

(Nov. 22-Dec. 21): “The best thing one can do when it is

Rumi. “Our defects are the ways that glory gets manifested,” he said. “Keep looking at the bandaged place. That’s where the light enters you.” Playwright Harrison David Rivers interprets Rumi’s words to mean, “Don’t look away from your pain, don’t disengage from it, because that pain is the source of your power.” I think these perspectives are just what you need to meditate on, Virgo. To promote even more healing in you, I’ll add a further clue from poet Anna Kamienska:

raining is let it rain.” That brilliant formulation came from poet Henry Wadsworth Longfellow. Does it seem so obvious as to not need mentioning? Bear with me while I draw further meaning from it and suggest you use it as an inspiring metaphor in the coming weeks. When it rains, Sagittarius, let it rain; don’t waste time and emotional energy complaining about the rain. Don’t indulge in fruitless fantasizing about how you might stop the rain and how you’d

WEEK OF NOVEMBER 8 love to stop the rain. In fact, please refrain from defining the rain as a negative event, because after all, it is perfectly natural, and is in fact crucial for making the crops grow and replenishing our water supply. (PS: Your metaphorical “rain” will be equally useful.)

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): “Every true love and friendship is a

story of unexpected transformation,” writes activist and author Elif Shafak. “If we are the same person before and after we loved, that means we haven’t loved enough.” I bring this to your attention because you’re in a phase when your close alliances should be activating healing changes in your life. If for some reason your alliances are not yet awash in the exciting emotions of redemption and reinvention, get started on instigating experimental acts of intimacy.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): I suspect you will be an especially

arousing influence in the coming weeks. You may also be inspiring and disorienting, with unpredictable results. How many transformations will you unleash? How many expectations will you dismantle? How many creative disruptions will you induce in the midst of the daily grind? I hesitate to underestimate the messy beauty you’ll stir up or the rambunctious gossip you’ll provoke. In any case, I plan to be richly amused by your exploits, and I hope everyone else will be as well. For best results, I will pray to the Goddess of Productive Fun, begging Her to ensure that the commotions and uproars you catalyze will be in service to love and kindness.

PISCES (Feb. 19-Mar. 20): Gonzo journalist Hunter S. Thompson wasn’t always a wild and crazy writer. Early in his career he made an effort to compose respectable, measured prose. When he finally gave up on that project and decided he could “get away with” a more uninhibited style, he described it as being “like falling down an elevator shaft and landing in a pool full of mermaids.” I foresee a metaphorically comparable development in your future, Pisces.
