Power of the Towns, Power of the People (opens the original)
Read excerpt
For parents, the New Year does not start on January 1. It starts on a day in August, who knows why, on a date of which we are not exactly sure until it is too late to get the perfect backpack, when school begins again. Because far more than forgotten resolutions, when and where our kids go to school determines the trajectory of our days. So, when I got an email informing us that our child wasn’t accepted into the public school around the corner from our house, I broke down sobbing. Not only woul
A Toddler, Teacher, and Goleta City Council Member Walk Into a Gun Store (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Though a sophomore at San Marcos, for some reason I can no longer recall, I was visiting my father in Central Texas on April 20, 1999.

He chose the ship. My earliest ancestor on these shores, he arrived along with several hundred other asylum seekers to an especially harsh winter that they certainly would not have survived except for the generosity of the Lenni
Saving Sandy’s Coast (opens the original)
Read excerpt
I’ll never forget the first time I turned on the green of a wave. All summer, my stepfather, Sandy Lejeune, had been pushing me into the white water of El Capitan’s beach break, cheering wildly when I managed to stand up. Having finally learned to paddle in, I prepared to battle with the rough surf again one hot August afternoon. Then, Sandy came bounding around the point, on the other side of which lay his favorite break, a rock reef right that spins unbroken lines of swell into El Cap’s perfec
