toward Montecito when Coredareo Nelson, 29,
who was parked in his Honda Accord at the curb
near the East Beach volleyball courts, pulled
out in front of Stein. The two collided, and Stein
was fatally injured. A DUI investigation revealed
Nelson was possibly under the influence of mari-
juana. He was booked into County Jail on charges
of gross vehicular manslaughter while intoxi-
cated, DUI (drugs/marijuana), and driving with-
out a license. His bail was set at $100,000.

Steven Courtney, 61, was sentenced to two

months in jail for capturing hidden footage of
his tenants in the bedrooms and bathrooms at

his Montecito home. He will also serve three
years of probation, be required to register as
a sex offender, and pay more than $17,000 in
restitution fees. The British biologist had been

FroM BlooMS to BluntS
Carpinteria Flower Growers Toeing Greener Grasses of Marijuana Industry
by Kelsey Brugger
F Large Parties
orty-five years ago,
Dutch immigrants
began arriving in the
Carpinteria Valley
to escape strict government
regulations in the flower-
growing business. But now,
since dabbling in the morph-
ing marijuana industry, they
are begging to be regulated.
Growers say the once suc-
cessful flower trade in Car-
pinteria has been strapped
by several factors: An esti-
mated 80 percent of all flow-
ers sold in the United States
now originate from Colom-
bia; the adoption of Carp’s
“Greenhouse Plan” has
restricted greenhouse size
and scope; and new state-
wide rules hiked minimum
wage and overtime rules, and
also increased diesel stan-
dards, among other things.
This forced some operations
to lay off employees and make other cuts.
But others that began growing marijuana are
flush with cash.
“Some growers feel they have no choice
but to grow something that will produce
more money,” said longtime Gerbera daisy
grower June Van Wingerden, who said she
does not want to grow marijuana. “I don’t like
it. I was once a high school teacher and have
seen the damage marijuana can do to teenag-
ers, but I can understand that a grower who
has worked their entire life growing flowers
just sees marijuana as another crop, a more
profitable crop.”
The burgeoning cannabis industry in
Carpinteria Valley is both widely known
and somewhat hush-hush. It is legal to grow
medical marijuana in Santa Barbara County,
but it remains unclear what the number of
growers is who have dabbled in — or delved
into — the industry. The only local enforce-
ment is essentially nonexistent, driven only
by complaints to the county sheriff or build-
ing inspectors of skunk-like odors.
Sheriff ’s Lieutenant Mike Perkins said
grievances have waned in recent months,
but he used to receive several per week near
the greenhouses along Carp’s northern bor-
der. Depending on which way the winds are
blowing, traces of what is unmistakably mar-
ijuana can be sniffed from Carpinteria High
School. “That is not desirable,” said County
Supervisor Das Williams, who lives in Carp.
But “those are issues you can take care of by
requiring a standard to be met.”
The county supervisors are in the process
of establishing such standards, following the
passage of the recreational marijuana initia-
tive by California voters in November. “This
would be right up their alley because they
have always been innovators,” said Williams
in an interview. They have increased flower
production per acre, worked to keep all water

When doctors diagnosed Corby with a brain tumor they believed was difficult to treat,
they recommended an intraoperative magnetic resonance imaging procedure (iMRI).
The Santa Barbara Neuroscience Institute at Cottage is one of just a handful of hospitals
in the nation who offer this specialized medicine. Our advanced imaging system
provides neurosurgeons with the clearest images during brain surgery, helping them
remove the most difficult to treat tumors. iMRI technology provides some patients with
a different path and helps reduce the likelihood of an additional procedure.

Santa BarBara anti-iMMigration group FindS neW liFe under truMp
by Tyler Hayden
A
mong the many Santa Barbara groups outspoken
on immigrant issues, one voice stands out.
Californians for Population Stabilization (CAPS),
headquartered at 1129 State Street, is a nonprofit
organization with national reach and more
than half a million members who feel “runaway population
growth” is responsible for what they see as California’s
greatest crises — air and water pollution, clogged roads, and
overcrowded schools. CAPS advocates for tougher border laws
and domestic policies that shield legal California residents
from the influence of outsiders.
CAPS was founded in 1986 by a group of environmentalists,
doctors, lawyers, and writers. Today, five Santa Barbara area
residents sit on its nine-member board of directors, including
interior designer Judith Smith, investor Kenneth Pasternack,
art dealer Keith Mautino Moore, urban planner Marilyn Brant
Chandler DeYoung, and attorney Kristin Larson.
CAPS often finds itself fighting an uphill battle, existing
as it does in a liberal city in a Democratic state. But with the
election of Donald Trump, who made mass deportations and
a wall along Mexico his biggest presidential selling points, the
organization has found new life and new supporters. We spoke
last week with CAPS spokesperson Joe Guzzardi about his
group’s core beliefs and policy ideas. This is an edited version
of our conversation.
‘
For places like Santa Barbara to continue to defy
the president’s explicit wishes is really playing with fire.
is trump the answer to all your prayers? We’re happy that
immigration is finally back in the national spotlight and
getting the attention it deserves. There’s been a steadfast
refusal by both Republican and Democratic administrations
to enforce immigration laws. Open-border advocates have
had their way for three decades, and now that Trump has
come along, they’re getting hit with a ton of bricks.
what should be the goal of immigration law reform? To create
a system that would be a stronger one for the U.S. economy.
People who come into the U.S. should be in a position to
contribute. They should have an easily identifiable skill set.
if you were on trump’s team, how would you advise him to do
that? Move quickly on mandatory E-Verify [which proves a
worker’s legal status by comparing information on the person’s
I-9 form to data from Homeland Security and the Social
Security Administration]. E-Verify would take away lots of
problems both in terms of illegal immigration and in restoring
American jobs.
the wall — a viable plan or silly campaign promise? The way it is
right now, Mexicans, Africans, Cubans, and Asians are lined
up at the border because they know that once they get in, the
chances of getting deported are close to zero. In California
you have the TRUST [Transparency and Responsibility
Using State Tools] Act, you can get a driver’s license, you can
qualify for in-state tuition, you can qualify for a professional
license. It’s an extremely welcoming environment for illegal
NEWS of the WEEK cont’d
immigrants, but it just isn’t
possible to provide humanely
for all of these individuals.
how do lawmakers respond to
the caps agenda? It’s hard to get
these guys engaged in mature
conversation about the issues.
They don’t want to hear it, and
the default response is “You’re a racist and a xenophobe, and I
don’t want to talk to you.”
what new legislation does caps support outside california?
Senators Tom Cotton [R-AR] and David Perdue [R-GA] have
introduced a bill we support that would redefine, and basically
eliminate, chain migration. That’s when an immigrant comes
to the United States and brings his wife and children; then
after a certain amount of time, the wife becomes a citizen, and
she brings her family members … and so on.
i’m guessing you’re opposed to birthright citizenship. Oh yeah,
totally, totally opposed to that. Just look at the birth tourism
industry, where hotels shamelessly cater to women who come
to the United States in their third term for the specific purpose
of citizenship.
’
— Joe Guzzardi, CAPS spokesperson
what countries do you admire for their immigration policies?
Japan comes to mind. It has limited immigration, limited
refugees, and has a thriving economy. And they don’t have
birthright citizenship, I can tell you that.
what’s your opinion on the concept of sanctuary cities? It’s
completely baffling to me why [local] law enforcement would
not want to cooperate with [federal] law enforcement … It
just doesn’t make sense to me on the most basic level, and
since Trump has come into office, I think for places like Santa
Barbara to continue to defy the president’s explicit wishes is
really playing with fire.
santa barbara hasn’t called itself a sanctuary city. do you see it
as one? I would say that any city that’s unwilling to cooperate
with Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) on
immigration requests is certainly at least welcoming.
there are studies, though, that show cities with high immigrant
populations actually have lower crime rates. To me, that’s a
disingenuous argument … Go to the ICE website and take a
look at the people they apprehend every day for kidnapping,
rape, sexual assault against minors. If these individuals were
not in the United States, they wouldn’t be committing those
crimes against citizens.
if it’s all about population numbers, can deportation raids ever
have an appreciable impact? I believe they send a much-needed
message that the new administration is not going to tolerate
the presence of criminal aliens in California or elsewhere

tion Stabilization (CAPS).
in the United States, which will have a long-term effect on
stabilizing California’s population. Plus, it’s entirely possible, in
fact probable, that Trump will remove two million immigrants
in his first term alone.
on the caps website you say, “stop terrorists via new regulations
for student and tourist visa holders that make their location and
movements known.” can you elaborate on that? California high
school graduates now have to compete not only with their
fellow graduates and kids from Arizona or New Jersey but
also with international students. It becomes a question of
what’s fair. Here you’ve got California kids whose families have
paid into the system and supported universities in some cases
for generations. Should that kid have the first shot to attend
Cal, or should somebody who has never been to the state of
California in their life and has never paid 10 cents to the tax
base of California?
what about international students who stay in california, join its
tax base, and contribute to the economy? I would say that only
makes it worse because if they stay, and of course a great many
of them do, then they’re competing in the same shrinking job
market that we’re talking about. It’s not a very good deal for
the California kids looking to get ahead.
isn’t immigrant labor critical to our economy, not only in more
skilled sectors but also to the service and agriculture industries?
As for the service industry, it’s just not possible to make the
argument that you can’t find Americans to work in the service
industry. Certainly there are people who would take those
jobs, part-time jobs. People who are trying to supplement
the family income by working 30 hours a week at a hotel or a
restaurant or a bar; college kids who are trying to save up for
next year’s tuition. And as far as agriculture goes, I would say,
look, fellas, it’s time for you to start focusing on automation,
because that’s been successful worldwide.
how does caps feel about economic refugees? There are over
seven billion people in the world, and the vast majority are
poor. Not every solution to dire economic conditions should
be resolved in the U.S.
what’s it like being a conservative voice in a mostly liberal
community? There are a lot of immigration advocacy groups
out there lobbying for more rights for immigrants. But what
would really be best for the immigrants in the United States
would be fewer immigrants. Good jobs are increasingly
hard to find, schools are overcrowded, and roads are
overcrowded — so the best thing for an immigrant, especially
a brand-new immigrant who’s trying to find his way, would
be if he had fewer immigrants to compete with. n

a day Without immigrants
A
month after President Trump issued executive orders hardening America’s
immigration policies, federal security officials this week announced they would
be hiring thousands of additional enforcement agents, accelerating the adminis-
trative deportation process, and expanding people who are targeted for removal,
among other things. The announcement came just days after people across the country
boycotted work as part of a somewhat impromptu A Day Without Immigrants, including
many in Santa Barbara.
A number of restaurant owners shut their doors on February 16, including Adam White,
who operates Boathouse at Hendry’s Beach, FisHouse, Santa Barbara Shellfish Company, and
Casa Blanca. “I didn’t set out to make some sort of statement,” White said. “I’m just trying to
show support for my guys. These are good people. They pay their taxes. They are not taking
any jobs away from anyone I grew up with.” He said roughly a third of his 260 workers are
first- or second-generation immigrants. None of his employees had complained to him about
the decision, he said. He estimated he lost $45,000 in sales that weekday.
Los Agaves Restaurant, Enterprise Fish Company, Arnoldi’s Café, Cesar’s Place, Lily’s
Tacos, Taquería Cuernavaca, Mayo’s Carnicería & Tacos, La Super-Rica Taquería, Live Oak
Café, Sly’s, Jeannine’s Bakery, and Los Arroyos also appeared to be closed Thursday as no one
answered the phones at those locations.
At Carpinteria Children’s Project, where 70 percent of the 24 preschool teachers are immi-
grants, seven stayed home. Maria Chesley Fisk, the executive director, said one classroom
had to close that day. She received some annoyed communications from parents, unaware
of the last-minute decision sent out Wednesday night, but even those frustrated “supported
the cause.”
Passionate discussion about the debate rapidly took off on social media, where the move-
ment began. Super Cucas on the Mesa, which stayed open, posted on Instagram a photo of
the owner with a sign made of tinfoil that read #IamAmerican. “For all the ignorant people
who want to believe my boss/uncle is a bad person for not closing his restaurants …” the post
read, followed by questions and answers about his experience pursuing the American Dream
after immigrating here at age 16. —Kelsey Brugger

State of Sativa
As Legal Weed Looms, Good and Bad
News for California Stoners
A Th e MoT
marketing tip for Santa Bar-
bara pot growers getting set
for legalization of recreational
sales in 2018: Aim some ad
dollars at Mother’s Day.
That’s one merchandizing conclusion
to be drawn from a new “State of Can-
nabis” report, based on a survey of 5,000
clients of Eaze — a mobile app and online
platform that arranges 20-minutes-or-
less-deliveries of legal pot to a claimed
250,000 California medical marijuana
consumers.
The “Uber of Weed,” as it’s known in Sil-
icon Valley, does not yet operate in Santa
Barbara, where several smaller firms offer
online services.
As a financial matter, however, Eaze
provides a glimpse of the sleek and sized-
to-scale, Big Pot corporate future of retail-
ing in California, forecast as a $20 billion
market, when recreational sales become
legal next year.
“Every 30 seconds, someone orders
marijuana on Eaze,” proclaims the com-
pany’s site, which offers clients a detailed
menu of product choices, as well as online
connection with physicians.
WHAT WE’RE SMOKING: Entrepreneur
Keith McCarty launched the corporation
in 2014. To date he’s received more than $20
million in financing from venture capital
firms, according to the tech press, in addi-
tion to original investor Snoop Dogg.
A major company asset is the huge data-
base it continues to build, which compiles
and catalogues the tastes and trends of hun-
dreds of thousands of pot consumers. Some
intriguing findings from the second annual
“State of Cannabis” survey:
• The most popular strain of marijuana in
the 100 cities served by Eaze is the hybrid
“Gorilla Glue #4,” with sales equivalent to
“30,000 pre-rolls,” according to the report,
which also tracked big gains by “Bubba
Kush,” “Girl Scout Cookies,” and “Jack
Herer,” along with declines in demand for
“Sour Diesel” and “Blue Dream.”
• The fastest-growing products are manu-
factured vapor cartridges, which surged
400 percent in sales in one year, at the
expense of pot in flower form, which
sharply declined in 2016, from 75 percent
to 54 percent of Eaze total sales. Sorry,
Carpinteria.
• The top three usage holidays, to the sur-
prise of no one, are the traditional 4/20
(April 20) pot celebration,“Green Wednes-
day” (the day before Thanksgiving) obser-
vance, and, of course, Halloween (shout-out
to Isla Vista).
Less predictable, however, are several other
special occasions that round out the Top 10
list, including Veterans Day (#4), Earth Day
(#9) and Mother’s Day (#10).

Governor Brown has proposed $51 mil-

Glenn William “Bill”
Elliott
06/03/28-02/10/17
Our beloved Bill died at home
on February 10, 2017 after a lengthy
illness. Born June 3, 1928 in Wheat-
land, Wyoming, he grew up on the
family farm in Mitchell, Nebraska.
His parents were Glenn Weaver
and Retta Springer Elliott. The farm
was part of land homesteaded and
purchased by the three Springer
brothers (one of whom was his
grandfather) who had passed
through the North Platte Valley
along the Oregon Trail. Life on the
farm taught Bill and his four sisters
the value of family, community, and
work and instilled a respect for the
land and all living things.
He earned a B.S in Mathemat-
ics and an M.A in Educational
Psychology from the University
of Nebraska. After serving as a
1st Lieutenant, Field Artillery, in
Korea he completed his Ph.D. in
Psychology and Education from the
University of Denver. Bill, his wife,
Dorothy Harnsberger, and their
daughters Amy and Elizabeth then
moved to California where he was
Guidance Coordinator for the San
Diego County Department of Edu-
cation and then School Psycholo-
gist for Carlsbad Union School
District. In 1963 he began a career
in the Goleta Union School District
serving as Director of Pupil Person-
nel Services, Director of Title I,III,
and V ESEA projects, and School
Psychologist until his retirement

To submit obituaries for publication, please call (805) 965-5205 or email obits@independent.com
in 1989. He developed the interdis-
ciplinary model for Goleta’s Child
Study Team.
Bill married Susan Cherney
Ehrlich in 1982 and their combined
family included John William
Elliott, Bill’s grandson/adopted son
and Leigh and Dave Ehrlich. They
hosted many exchange students,
had wonderful travel experiences
and shared a passion for birding.
Bill was a master pie baker and
indulged his wife by learning to
tango. He read avidly, relished the
exchange of ideas, and could never
resist buying a book of poetry.
He taught graduate level courses
in Education through the Univer-
sity of California, Santa Barbara,
and California Lutheran College
and supervised counselor interns
from UCSB.
He was a licensed Clinical Psy-
chologist and a member of the
American Psychological Associa-
tion, several state counseling and
psychological organizations, and
the Santa Barbara County Psycho-
logical Association.
He was an early volunteer super-
visor with the Santa Barbara Night
Counseling Center and a founding
member of the Isla Vista Youth
Project. He served on the boards of
the local March of Dimes, the Santa
Barbara Mental Health Association,
and the Goleta Valley Land Trust
and was a member of the Santa
Barbara County Mental Health
Commission. In 2013 he was hon-
ored by the Legal Aid Foundation
of Santa Barbara as a Hero for Jus-
tice for his assistance to elderly and
disabled clients helping many avoid
eviction and homelessness.
He was preceded in death by
his son John and his sister Elea-
nor Ganz of Lincoln, Nebraska.
He is survived by his wife Sue, his
daughters Amy (Victor) Gallant
of Cloverdale, Oregon, Elizabeth
(Stephen) Green and grandsons
Bryan and Brennen Green of Lake
Oswego, Oregon, David Ehrlich
(Cheryl) of Hercules, California,
Leigh Ehrlich (Alexander Ivanov)
and granddaughter Aurora Ivanova
of Moscow, Russia and Santa Bar-
bara, and sisters Arlene Buffington
of Mitchell, Clela Duemler of Madi-
son, Wisconsin, and Donna Swaim
of Tucson, Arizona.
Bill’s life work was helping
people to grow. He had a generous
spirit and a warm and caring heart.
His school office was well supplied
with scrap wood, tools, glue and
nails because therapy was not all
talk, and he and his kids wore out
many pairs of batakas. After retir-
ing from the schools, his clients
ranged from toddlers to seniors to
group home kids to Santa Barbara’s
homeless. He traveled about town
in his “therapy” van and designated
a picnic table at the beach where
the homeless could find him.
A modest, unassuming man, Bill
would have shrugged his shoulders
and described himself simply as a
Nebraska farm boy trying to make
his way in the world.
A celebration of his life will be
held at a later date in Santa Barbara.
Friends may honor him by
remembering Planned Parenthood
California Central Coast, Legal
Aid Foundation of Santa Barbara,
Mental Wellness Center, or Visiting
Nurse and Hospice Care of Santa
Barbara.

they are secure? George Edward
McClintock was such a man.
Awarded the Purple Heart, he was
always humble about saving the
lives of fellow soldiers. Instead, he
chose to remember the lives of the
men he could not save. At the age
of 88, George joined them, passing
away peacefully, on February 9,
2017, in Santa Barbara.
George was born in Chicago,
Illinois, on January 16th 1929, to
Edwina and George McClintock,
Irish immigrants, from County
Cork. The family moved to Los
Angeles, when he was very young.
George had three other siblings,
Norma Jean, Dennis and Patricia,
now all deceased. He was tall for
his age and, at 6’4”, loved to play
high school basketball, which led
to George’s recruitment, by Santa
Clara University. He served in the
military and fought in the Korean
War, before being honorably dis-
charged and awarded the Purple
Heart, in 1952.
But, the happiest day of his life
was, February 20th 1954, when
George married the love of his life,
Inez Lucy Fantin, the daughter of
Italian immigrants. The young
couple moved to Santa Barbara,
purchasing a home on the Mesa,
where they intended to start a fam-
ily. They welcomed six children
into the world, five daughters and
one son, all of who became their
pride and joy. Of his many inter-
ests, George had a passion for Jazz,
founding Santa Barbara’s first jazz
club, the Spigot, on upper De La
Vina Street. The Spigot was an
incredible night spot and through
its doors came the jazz greats: Louis
Armstrong; Cal Tjader; Dizzy Gil-
lespie; Herbi Mann; Marv Jenkins;
Cannonball; Curtis Amy; and the
Ray Charles Band. His wife, Lucy,
prepared homemade Italian pasta,
serving it, “compliments of the
house,” to their patrons. After con-
certs, George invited musicians to
his home, for impromptu jazz sets,
while enjoying barbecue steak and
more of Lucy’s “old world” Italian
cuisine. Theirs was a community of
friends and family, loving and sup-
portive, especially through Lucy’s
long struggle with MS, which took
her life, on January 21st 1989.
George’s later years were focused
on the achievements of his children
and grandchildren, a proud legacy
and a lifetime devotion to his fam-
ily. An Irishman to the heart, he
had a great sense of humor and
amused everyone with his stories of
“the kids.” George loved SB Coun-
ty’s natural beauty… looking out to
sea, enjoying incomparable sunsets,
along Goleta Beach and long walks,
on hiking trails. He undertook one
such hike, on the Nawoi Falls trail,
near Lompoc, at the youthful age of
84. Everywhere he went, his con-
stant companion, was his service
dog, Bruiser, a 20 lb. Pomeranian,
resembling a fox. Some of his last
words were to the effect, “Make sure
to give him love.” For the infinite,
loving example he brought to life,
strength in family, and enduring
joy, we loved George well.
George is survived by his six
children: Kathleen McClintock
Stimson DDS, Diana McClintock,
Darlene Reynolds, Cynthia Hagon,
Mark McClintock and Norma
Howell and ten grandchildren:
Jaclyn Hagon, Briana Curry, Chad

My illegal Abortion
A Shout About a Near-Death Experience
M
by AlexAndrA King
y name is Alexandra King. I am a
dancer. I have lived in Santa Barbara
since 1973. I was raised in St. Thomas,
Virgin Islands. My father was a senator
in the Virgin Islands Senate, a Princeton alumnus,
and a hunter, and he was from a family of American
royalty (the wealthy Alexanders of Kentucky). He was
not just a Republican but also a Nazi sympathizer, a
white supremacist who hated Jews, blacks, women,
and, worst of all, the poor (the “Have Nots” = anyone
who was not white, wealthy, and old money).
My mother was a popular Broadway actress from a
poor Midwest family. She started the Humane Society
in the islands and took in abandoned children and
animals and gave them food, money, comfort. She was
also a Republican, but a humanitarian Republican.
Everyone adored her. When she died, it was a com-
munity tragedy.
As might be expected, my mother and father were
at odds all the time. They fought about everything
under the sun; sometimes they put each other in the
hospital. One of the more memorable fights was over
his hunting. At one point, while my father was on a
hunting trip, my mother put all his guns and ammuni-
tion out on their sailboat, sailed out to the open ocean,
and dumped the guns, ammo, and body parts of the
dead animals. That was quite a fight. But it was rivaled
by my illegal abortion.
In 1968, abortion was illegal. I was 17 and engaged
to a 25-year-old college grad. I was on the way to col-
lege when I got pregnant. Hearing this, my boyfriend-
broke up with me, having realized he really wasn’t
ready for a serious relationship. I was devastated. My
heart was broken, and I didn’t know how I would care
for a child alone and go to college. Afraid to tell my
father (who would undoubtedly shoot the guy), my
mother took me to the southern island of Grenada
where I could have an abortion secretly.
I remember being in the waiting room with about
a dozen other (mostly) poor women who could not
afford to have another child. Most had no husband
or anyone to help them care for and raise yet another
child. They could not afford birth control, which was
a fairly new thing. When it was my turn, I went in and

got on the table. The doctor dilated my cervix and
inserted the saline solution. We went back to the hotel,
and for two days, I lay in a tub bleeding and miscarry-
ing. It was excruciating.
By the time we got home, I was very ill with a high
fever and still bleeding profusely. I couldn’t stand,
because I would lose consciousness from the loss of
blood. My mother had hoped not to have to tell my
father about the abortion, but it was obvious after our
arrival that my condition was serious and I could pos-
sibly die. So she had to tell him. He went insane with
rage. But going to the hospital was not an option. It
would not only mean destroying his political career,
but they would go to jail, and our family would be
broken up.
As usual, a fight ensued. My father put me in an ice
bath to bring the temperature down. My mother then
dragged me back to bed and covered me with blan-
kets. Then my father returned and put me back into
the ice bath. Mother returned and put me back in bed.
This went on for almost two days. No one knew what
to do, and no one dared call for medical assistance
because of the dire consequences of being found out.
Nonetheless, I was young and healthy and made it
through. I went to college, grew up, got married, and
had a beautiful son.
Happily, abortion became legal soon after that, so
I never had to experience that kind of near-death
experience again, because I had several abortions after
that. I am one of those unfortunate few who never
found a form of birth control that wasn’t life threat-
ening for me. I had three surgeries to take an IUD
out. I am severely allergic to latex, so condoms and
diaphragms do not work; I got blood clots with the
pill and had toxic shock from the sponge, and there
were no patches, NuvaRings, or injections when I was
of childbirth age. And abstinence is not an option
when married.
My personal feeling is that those opposed to abor-
tion have never experienced an illegal abortion, or
they would think twice about condemning it. And,
of course, the rich have many more options than
the poor. I understand the viewpoint that killing
an unborn child is wrong, but killing a fully grown
woman is worse. n

Good-Bye, 401(k) Promise
I n spite of all the rhetoric we’ve heard from Trump
and other Republicans about making Washington
work for Joe Six-Pack out in the hinterlands, when it
comes to walking the walk, it’s the same old story.
Our state recently passed California Secure Choice.
The new law would require small businesses to allow
their workers to contribute to a state-administered
individual retirement fund. The businesses themselves
would not be required to make contributions.You can
check out the California State Treasurer’s website for
more information (treasurer.ca.gov/scib).
State-sponsored retirement plans were given the
U.S. Department of Labor seal of approval. Governor
Jerry Brown touted the new law as a way for workers
who have little savings to make up some lost ground
in building a nest egg.
But guess what?
Last week the U.S. House effectively killed these
plans by closing off an Obama administration order
that gave them the green light. The Senate will prob-
ably follow suit. There is a House Education and the
Workforce Committee news release full of double-
speak and false claims that attempts to justify shutting
down these plans. The GOP opposes them because the
financial services industry feels that state-sponsored
plans will be unfair competition. It’s Wall Street over
Main Street once again.
The sad fact is Republicans are killing this opportu-
nity for millions of small-business workers currently
not covered by 401(k) plans to live a better retirement,
and I think the Republicans need to own it.

T rump promised to release his tax returns during
the campaign. However, he also said he would not
get elected if he released them. So which is it? Are the
tax returns so bad that the American people would
call for an immediate impeachment? Would the tax
returns show that he paid no taxes for the past 20 years,
as he’s already stated? Or would they show his connec-
tions to Russia and the Russian mafia?
But to be fair, the American people just need to see
the tax returns to either settle the issue that there is no
conflict or that there is. Every other president for the
past 40 years has done so.
No bull, Donald. Step up to the plate, and release
your tax returns. —Thomas I. Morse, S.B.

paul wellman
ullivan Goss, An American Gallery has
changed ownership. In a press release
dated February 10, 2017, the Central page 45
Coast institution announced that
longtime gallery employee Nathan Vonk

richie demaria
is the new owner of the business that Frank
Goss and Patricia Sullivan Goss brought to
Santa Barbara from its original location in
Sierra Madre in 1994. In a conversation on
Thursday, February 16, Vonk expressed his
excitement about the opportunity and his

determination to preserve and extend the
legacy of the gallery’s original owners.“We’re
not going to change the gallery’s name or its
mission,” said Vonk. “I love Sullivan Goss. I
put everything I have on the line to purchase
the whole business—the name, the inven-
tory, and the lease — because I believe in
what we are doing here. If I could have made
this happen without anyone even noticing, I
would have done that,” he added.
Known internationally for his vast
knowledge of American art and his extreme
devotion to forwarding the reputations of
California artists, Frank Goss has spent
more than two decades at the center of the
Santa Barbara art scene. No one has done
more to advance the careers of fine artists
in this city than him. While representing
such contemporary giants as Hank Pitcher,
Nicole Strasburg, John Nava, Meredith
Brooks Abbott, and Angela Perko, Goss has
cultivated a thriving market for the work of
a remarkable roster of historically impor-
tant figures. Lockwood de Forest, Colin
Campbell Cooper, Leon Dabo, Anya Fisher,
and Nell Brooker Mayhew are just a few of
the artists whose estates have been tended
and documented, and whose reputations

have been polished to a rare glow, by the
unstinting efforts of Goss and his team.
Encompassing everything from plein-air
landscapes and discreet still lifes to hard-
edge abstraction and finish-fetish mini-
malism, the shows at Sullivan Goss have
educated a generation of artists, collectors,
and citizens about the enduring significance
of California in the history of American
art. At times functioning more like a small
museum than a traditional gallery, Sullivan
Goss has been responsible for the publica-
tion of dozens of beautiful books, including
the excellent first-ever monograph on Ray
Strong, Ray Strong: American Artist, in 2015.
For Vonk, the acquisition of the gallery
represents an investment in his personal
passion for fine art and in the future of
Santa Barbara. Backed by the curatorial
team of Jeremy Tessmer and Susan Bush,

The night, overall, was a delight. Narrator
Cecil Gershwin Palmer was the consum-
mate host, playing both a friend as intimate
as the voice in your own head and also the
terror of your midnight wonderings, capable
of both kindly and scary intonations. Meg
Bashwiner was lovely and hilarious as emcee
and the sentient haze Deb, a lively spark of
a performer. If there’s one critique, it’s that
the narrative felt emotionally unbalanced,
snowballing all its serious weight into the
lopsided final act, when the emotionalism felt
overdetermined. But with a show this smart
and entertaining, it’s exciting to know their
true masterpiece is likely yet to come.

ers Rene and Misha, Elias Reyes and Oliver
Rubey are wonderfully memorable, with
Reyes bringing an indelible and distinctive
physical characterization to his part as Rene,
and Rubey handling a large share of respon-
sibility for the coherence of the evening in the
key role of Misha. As Alvaro, Bruce Terrance
is onstage slightly less than the rest, but he
makes every minute count as the smoldering
love object of multiple hearts.
As is clear from the title, this play revolves
around Lydia, the Mexican immigrant who
comes to take care of Ceci and who ends
by turning the household upside down. In
that part Verenice Zuniga glows, her radiant
smile a beacon of hope in a sea of secrets and
stifling misery. That this does not necessarily
mean that things will all work out is just one
of the reasons that Lydia is such a refreshing
take on what a contemporary play can be.

Paula Fehrenbach’s talents were both mov-
ing and praiseworthy, her bow comparable

The program’s cerebral second half featured
Robert Schumann’s amorous Dichterliebe, a
song cycle of 16 pieces paired with the influ-
ential poetics of Heinrich Heine’s Lyrisches
Intermezzo. UCSB drama professor Simon
Williams narrated the song cycle’s verbal-
isms with delicate theatrics to the meditative
sounds of viola and piano, illustrating a time-
less love story. A testimony to the intimate
relationship between literature and music, the
concert was an enlightening Valentine’s Day
experience that satisfied all the couples in the
audience, and lovers of music and poetry alike.

the music began and the curtain rose just a
few feet, exposing only the improbably dan-
gling legs of the rest of the company. Hidden
above the waist by the curtain, the dancers
hung from a horizontal beam that ran the
width of the stage.
Although invisible wires quickly whisked
away the beam and the curtain, the surprise
of this unexpected initial image lingered
throughout this mysterious, deeply mytho-
logical composition. Working in large, com-
plex physical associations, the 16 dancers
in Rite of Spring conjured a world in which
individual fate depends on the community.
On some days you ride high, borne aloft
by society; on others, you capsize. Yet even
when your legs fly off above your head, you
still depend on and remain part of the same
crowd. It’s a powerful, if enigmatic lesson, and
one that resonates both with the jagged mod-
ern music of Igor Stravinsky and the unsettled
mood of our current moment. — CD

A Dog’s Purpose attempts to answer the

the dialogue did. Much of the film was a
predictable and preachy cheese-fest with
Josh Gad’s narration at the forefront.
The movie dabbled in some adult con-
cepts like alcoholism and depression,
but mostly stuck to a naive and Disney-
like concept of a plot. Don’t go out of
your way to avoid the film, but certainly
don’t make it a mission to see it. (JT)

(102 mins., PG-13)
This bilingual rom-com by Mexican
filmmaker Catalina Aguilar Mastretta is
about a successful gynecologist whose
love life gets a kick start after a family
wedding in Baja. Metro 4
Fifty Shades Darker (115 mins., R)
Maybe it was the change in directors
or the significantly better chemistry
between Christian Grey (Jamie Dornan)
and Anastasia Steele (Dakota John-
son) that made this sequel more enjoy-
able than the first. Still, however, the 50
Shades film franchise fails to capture any
sort of authentic emotion because of its
unrealistic circumstances, like how Grey
survives a helicopter crash at Mt. Hood
and returns home the same night. While
it was great to see Steele stick up for
herself more, this film offers hardly any
insight or clarity into why she decides
to stay with a man who attempts to con-
trol her. Yes, we do learn more about
Grey’s past and why he is the way he is,
but it’s still difficult to sympathize with
him because his backstory is too com-
plex to understand unless you’ve read
the book. I would see 50 Shades Darker
for its steamy, erotic sex scenes and large
romantic gestures, but be prepared for
two hours of dull, meaningless drama.

Fist Fight
Fist Fight (91 mins., R)
I was unsurprised by the numerous
debaucherous acts that overtake the
halls of director Richie Keen’s fictional
high school on the last day before sum-
mer vacation and senior prank day; the
man has written for raunchy comedies
The above films are playing in Santa Barbara FRIDAY, February 24, through THURSDAY, March 2. Descriptions fol-
lowed by initials — RD (Richie DeMaria), HDK (Hilary Dole Klein), JK (John Klein), SM (Savanna Mesch), and JT
(Jordon Thompson) — have been taken from our critics’ reviews, which can be read in full at independent.com.

such as It’s Always Sunny, Shameless,
and Maron. Nothing is off-limits in this
adult-friendly comedy — not even an
elementary-school-aged girl dropping
the F bomb, Mr. Strickland (Ice Cube)
swinging an axe at a student’s desk, or
a meth-addicted female teacher (Jil-
lian Bell) joking about having sex with
a student. Not only are the crude jokes
unfunny, but the characters perpetuate
inappropriate ideas of masculinity, femi-
ninity, and what it means to stick up for
yourself. This buddy comedy could have
made a much more impactful point of
how teachers are treated in America’s
public schools if it hadn’t made such
a mockery of it — and if the burning
question in my mind the entire film
wasn’t “When will this be over?” (SM)
Fairview/Metro 4
The Great Wall (103 mins., PG-13)
Billed as an action/adventure/fan-
tasy film, The Great Wall tells the story
of European mercenaries who, while
searching for “black powder,” come
under attack from a monster, leaving
only two men, William and Tovar, alive.
After their escape, the men join forces
with the Chinese to defend the Great
Wall. Matt Damon, Pedro Pascal, and
Willem Dafoe star.
Camino Real/Metro 4
O Hidden Figures (127 mins., PG-13)
Based on a true story, this biopic depicts
the deeply rooted attitudes practiced
before the Civil Rights Act of 1964,
which made segregation illegal. It’s a
story of how human resilience, compas-
sion, and knowledge superseded NASA’s
bureaucratic mandates of segregation
and allowed three African-American
women — played by Taraji P. Henson,
Octavia Spencer, and Janelle Monáe —
to participate in making John Glenn the
first American astronaut to orbit around
Earth. (SM) Fairview/Paseo Nuevo
I Am Not Your Negro
(95 mins., PG-13)
Filmmaker Raoul Peck goes deep inside
the mind of visionary Civil Rights era
writer-poet James Baldwin, fleshing
out Baldwin’s unfinished manuscript
of a deeply personal and revolutionary
account of Medgar Evers, Malcolm X,
and Martin Luther King Jr. Plaza de Oro
OJohn Wick: Chapter 2
(122 mins., R)
This is a sequel in the most direct sense,
taking place within weeks of the origi-
nal as the titular character retrieves the
last item stolen from him: his car. It’s
a wonderful reintroduction into just
what kind of world—
world and what kind of
movie — John Wick operates in. This
go-around, John is forced into diving
into the world of assassins once more
to satisfy a debt. There are, of course,
high-octane car scenes, intense and bru-
tal action pieces, and obvious yet deep
betrayals along the way. Once again,
Keanu Reeves shows us what he is good
at: the brooding, reluctant hero who
must use a “particular set of skills” to
get what he wants. The music is fantas-
tic, the choreography solid, and, most
importantly, the film knows what it is:
action at its finest. (JT)

“Who is you, man? Who is you, Chi-

tragedy and hope, between hard real-
ity and lyrical filmmaking, Moonlight
depicts three pivotal chapters in the life
of Chiron, superbly played by three dif dif-
ferent actors. His story is so real, so true,
so haunting, it feels as if you’re living it
with him. Written and directed by Barry
Jenkins and based on the play In Moon-
light Black Boys Look Blue by Tarell Alvin
McCraney, its impressive accolades are
well-deserved. If you go to the movies to
fall in love, have your heart broken, and
walk out with your humanity affirmed,
then go see Moonlight. (HDK) Metro 4

ARIES
(Mar. 21 - Apr. 19): My astrological radar suggests
there’s a space-time anomaly looming just ahead of
you. Is it a fun and exotic limbo where the rules are
flexible and everything’s an experiment? That might be
cool. Or is it more like an alien labyrinth where nothing
is as it seems, you can hear howling in the distance, and
you barely recognize yourself? That might be weird.
What do you think? Is it worth the gamble? If so, full
speed ahead. If not, I suggest a course correction.
TAURUS
(Apr. 20 - May 20): Someone on Reddit.com asked
readers to respond to the question, “What is the most
liberating thought you’ve ever had?” Among the
replies were the following six: (1) “If new evidence
presents itself, it’s okay to change my beliefs.” (2) “I get
to choose who’s in my life and who isn’t.” (3) “I am not
my history.” (4) “You can’t change something that has
already happened, so stop worrying about it.” (5) “I am
not, nor will I ever be, conventionally beautiful.” (6) “I
don’t have to respond to people when they say stupid
s— to me.” I hope these testimonies inspire you to
come up with several of your own, Taurus. It’s a perfect
time to formulate liberating intentions.
GEMINI
(May 21 - June 20): It has been a while since I told
you that I love you. So I’m doing it now. I LOVE YOU.
More than you could ever imagine. And that’s why
I continue to offer these horoscopes to you free of
charge, with no strings attached. That’s why I work
so hard to be a playful therapist and an edgy mentor
for you. That’s why I am so tenacious in my efforts
to serve you as a feminist father figure and a kindly
devil’s advocate and a sacred cheerleader. Again, I don’t
expect anything in return from you. But if you would
like to express your appreciation, you could do so by
offering a similar type of well-crafted care to people
in your own sphere. Now would be an excellent time
to give such gifts.
Homework: Find a new person or institution you
can eagerly and earnestly respect. Report on your
triumph at Freewillastrology.com.

60 THe INDePeNDeNT february 23, 2017
CANCER
(June 21 - July 22): “I like the word ‘bewilderment’
because it has both ‘be’ and ‘wild’ in it,” says poet Peter
Gizzi. I propose that you go even further, Cancerian:
Express a fondness for the actual experience of bewil-
derment as well as the word. In fact, be willing to not
just tolerate, but actually embrace the fuzzy blessings
of bewilderment. In the coming weeks, that’s your
ticket to being wild in the healthiest (and wealthiest)
ways. As you wander innocently through the perplex-
ing mysteries that make themselves available, you’ll be
inspired to escape formalities and needless rules that
have kept you overly tame.
LEO
(July 23 - Aug. 22): Are you familiar with psychologist
Carl Jung’s concept of the shadow? It’s the unflattering
or uncomfortable part of you that you would prefer to
ignore or suppress. It’s the source of behavior about
which you later say,“I wasn’t acting like myself.” Jung-
ians say that the shadow hounds you and wounds you
to the degree that you refuse to deal with it. But if you
negotiate with it, it leads you to beautiful surprises.
It prods you to uncover riches you’ve hidden from
yourself. I mention this, Leo, because any shadow work
you do in the coming weeks could generate rather
spectacular breakthroughs.
VIRGO
(Aug. 23 - Sept. 22): You could make a vow like this:
“Between now and April 15, I will be relentless in get-
ting my needs met. I will harbor a steely resolve to call
on every ploy necessary to ensure that my deepest
requirements are not just gratified, but satiated to the
max. I will be a dogged and ferocious seeker of abso-
lute fulfillment.” If you want to swear an oath like that,
Virgo, I understand. But I hope you will try a softer
approach — more like the following: “Between now
and April 15, I will be imaginative and ingenious in
getting my needs met. I will have fun calling on every
trick necessary to ensure that my deepest require-
ments are playfully addressed. I will be a sweet seeker
of unpredictable fulfillment.”
independent.com
LIBRA
(Sept. 23 - Oct. 22): How would Buddha ask for a
raise or promotion? How would Jesus tinker with his
career plans as he took into consideration large-scale
shifts in the economy? How would Confucius try to
infuse new approaches and ideas into the status quo
of his work environment? Ruminate deeply on these
matters, dear Libra. Your yearning to be more satisfy-
ingly employed may soon be rewarded — especially
if you infuse your ambitions with holy insight. How
would Joan of Arc break through the glass ceiling?
How would Harriet Tubman deal with the inefficien-
cies caused by excess testosterone? How would Hil-
degard of Bingen seek more emotional richness on
the job?
SCORPIO
(Oct. 23 - Nov. 21): I suspect you would benefit from
acquiring a new bedroom name, my dear. But should
I be the one to give it to you? I’m not sure. Maybe you
could invite a practical dreamer you adore to provide
you with this crazy sweet new moniker. If there is no
such person to do the job (although given the current
astrological omens, I bet there is), I’ll offer the follow-
ing array of amorous aliases for you to choose from:
Wild Face ... Kiss Genius ... Thrill Witch ... Freaky Nec-
tar ... Boink Master ... Lust Moxie ... Pearly Thunder
... Peach Licker ... Painkiller ... Silky Bliss ... Slippery
Diver ... Swoon Craver.
SAGITTARIUS
(Nov. 22 - Dec. 21): Soon I’ll be off on my first vaca-
tion in 18 months. At first glance it might seem odd for
an astrologer like myself to have selected two Sagit-
tarians to be my housesitters. Members of your sign
are reputed to be among the least home-nurturing
people in the zodiac. But I’m confident that by the time
I return, raccoons won’t be living in my kitchen, nor
will my plants be dead or my snailmail stolen or my
TV broken. The current astrological omens suggest
that most of you Centaurs, at least for the foreseeable
future, will display an uncommon aptitude for the
domestic arts.
CAPRICORN
(Dec. 22 - Jan. 19): The near future will be mutable,
whimsical, and fluky. It’ll be serendipitous, mercurial,
and extemporaneous. You should expect happy acci-
dents and lucky breaks. Your ability to improvise will
be quite valuable. Do you believe in lucky numbers?
Even if you don’t, yours will be 333. Your sacred pass-
word will be “quirky plucky.” The cartoon characters
with whom you will have most in common are Bugs
Bunny and Roadrunner. The place where you’re most
likely to encounter a crucial teaching is a threshold or
thrift shop. Your colors of destiny will be flecked and
dappled. (P.S.: I suspect that an as-yet-undiscovered
talisman of power is crammed in a drawer full of
junk.)
AQUARIUS
(Jan. 20 - Feb. 18): Treat your body like a sublime
temple, please. And regard your imagination as a trea-
sured sanctuary. Be very choosy about what you allow
to enter in to both of those holy places. This strategy
is always a wise idea, of course, but it’s especially so
now, when you are extra sensitive to the influences
you absorb. It’s crucial that you express maximum
discernment as you determine which foods, drinks,
drugs, images, sounds, and ideas are likely to foster
your maximum well-being — and which aren’t. Be a
masterful caretaker of your health and sanity.
PISCES
(Feb. 19 - Mar. 20): What would your best mother
do in a situation like this? Please note that I’m not
asking, “What would your mother do?” I’m not sug-
gesting you call on the counsel of your actual mother.
When I use the term “your best mother,” I’m referring
to the archetype of your perfect mother. Imagine a
wise older woman who understands you telepathi-
cally, loves you unconditionally, and wants you to live
your life according to your own inner necessity, not
hers or anyone else’s. Visualize her. Call on her. Seek
her blessings.

FOR TRUSTEE’S SALE INFORMATION
PLEASE CALL 714‑730‑2727 The
Mortgage Law Firm, PLC. may be
attempting to collect a debt. Any
information obtained may be used for
that purpose. NOTICE TO POTENTIAL
BIDDERS: If you are considering
bidding on this property lien, you
should understand that there are
risks involved in bidding at a trustee
auction. You will be bidding on a lien,
not on the property itself. Placing
the highest bid at a trustee auction
does not automatically entitle you
to free and clear ownership of the
property. You should also be aware
that the lien being auctioned off may
be a junior lien. If you are the highest
bidder at the auction, you are or may
be responsible for paying off all liens
senior to the lien being auctioned
off, before you can receive clear title
to the property. You are encouraged
to investigate the existence, priority,
and size of outstanding liens that may
exist on this property by contacting
the county recorder’s office or a
title insurance company, either of
which may charge you a fee for
this information. If you consult either
of these resources, you should be
aware that the same lender may hold
more than one mortgage or deed
of trust on the property. NOTICE TO
PROPERTY OWNER: The sale date
shown on this notice of sale may
be postponed one or more times by
the mortgagee, beneficiary, trustee,
or a court, pursuant to Section 2924g
of the California Civil Code. The
law requires that information about
trustee sale postponements be made
available to you and to the public,
as a courtesy to those not present
at the sale. If you wish to learn
whether your sale date has been
postponed, and, if applicable, the
rescheduled time and date for the sale
of this property, you may call (714)
730‑2727 for information regarding
the trustee’s sale or visit this Internet
Web site ‑ www.servicelinkASAP.com
‑ for information regarding the sale
of this property, using the file number
assigned to this case: 128635.
Information about postponements
that are very short in duration or that
occur close in time to the scheduled
sale may not immediately be reflected
in the telephone information or on
the Internet Web site. The best way to
verify postponement information is to
attend the scheduled sale. A‑4608735
