The state has approved Santa Barbara County's plans for building new housing. KCSB's Robert Stark speaks with Ryan P. Cruz of the Santa Barbara Independent, about the process behind passing housing elements, and what would happen if a City were to fail to meet these mandates.

Robert Stark is a former army infantryman and the author of Warflower, a book about his upbringing in Alaska and his time in the military. His upbringing was a turbulent one — his dad was absent, his mom struggled with addiction, his brother spent time in prison and his step-dad is serving life in prison for murder. He says he was known as the kid with the family of degenerates — people who drank alcohol, did drugs, stole, and went to prison. Eventually, he found himself struggling with his own alcohol and drug problem. So, he joined the army to travel and to learn more about himself. It was a part of his life that altered his way of thinking and understanding of the world.  It's been 20 years since he served in Iraq, and he says he's still working through it. He talks about an experience when one of his fellow infantrymen shot and killed an Iraqi man under questionable circumstances. It was a moment that made him start questioning everything — what they were really fighting for, and how was this man's act so much different than the one that put his step-dad in prison for life? There was so much to work through after finishing his military service — on top of his family history, he was now thinking about the fog of war. So, he found himself dissociating from his memories and isolating himself for days at a time, smoking weed and drinking.  It took him years to step away from his substance abuse and to gain some clarity and accept the things he had seen and the things that he had done. He spent some time in India and Nepal doing yoga retreats and meditations. He would sit there and visualize the situations he struggled to understand — he would work through them as if he were the people acting them out and then he would embrace them with love and understanding of what led them to making the decisions they made. It's a technique that helped him understand what he didn't understand.  Today, in times of personal crisis, he regains his equilibrium by going on walks on his property in Happy Valley, Alaska. Peaceful walks in the woods, among the trees and the birds and the mountains in the distance. He thinks of his wife and his daughters and the man he wants to be — loving, dependable and present.

The left gets really angry when people start using the word "woke" to describe the current insanity. Samuel Mangold-Lenett says that's because we're offending those who'd prefer its definition remain murky. If reality is everything that remains when you wish it were otherwise, we're about to get a lot better acquainted with it. James Howard Kunstler notes that when you mess with reality, a lot of things that can't go on will stop. Here's some good news: Dutch farmers have formed a political party that is making big gains in seizing control back from the Great Reset functionaries. If you're willing to face some unpleasant facts, here's one of the most informative analyses of our worsening economic situation. Robert Stark explains what's causing our economic death spiral. Dissent is essential to a free society. Maybe that's why the power-seekers seem very determined to criminalize it. Julie Kelly describes the death of dissent in America. We need the example of courageous heroes who will stand against impossible odds to speak the truth. Jeff Minnick recommends two films that can provide that needed shot of courage.

Santa Barbara County needs to plan for how and where to build more housing soon to ease a shortage - and to meet state requirements. Planners are scrambling to find possible sites where the new residences can go. KCSB's Robert Stark speaks with Noozhawk reporter Joshua Molina to find out more.

Due to a loophole in the state's long established Housing Accountability Act, builders in some of So Cal's wealthier areas are going around zoning restrictions to build more low income housing. KCSB's Robert Stark speaks with Liam Dillon, who covers housing issues for the LA Times, about the implications of the so-called "builders' remedy" law - which could lead to a building boom. For Santa Barbara's South Coast, Carpinteria is required to add 901 new units and, the Independent reports, is on track to complete its housing elements deadline. However both Santa Barbara and Goleta have yet to put forth housing elements proposals that meet the State's guidelines. The deadline to submit notarized plans is February of next year.

The California legislature has passed SB 846, extending the Diablo Canyon nuclear plant five years past its original expiration date in 2025. It's California's only operational nuclear plant, located near San Luis Obispo. But the debate continues. Pro-nuclear proponents say shutting down Diablo means killing an energy source that's reliable and cheap, although “cheap" depends on who ask. Opponents say Diablo wastes millions of gallons of water for cooling and sits on several earthquake faults, bringing up concerns over what would happen in nuclear-plant disaster like in the case of Chernobyl or Fukushima. KCSB speaks with those on opposite ends of the debate: pro-nuclear proponent Michael Shellenberger, and opponent Linda Steeley with the grassroots organization San Luis Obispo Mothers for Peace. Reporting by KCSB's Robert Stark and Ashley Rusch.

Founded by the Stark family in 1993 after their experiences caring for their own family members with dementia, the company remains a family business strongly committed to developing models for dementia care that foster compassion and drive innovation.In the process of caring for the Stark grandparents at home, the vision of ComfortCare Homes materialized. The core concept of ComfortCare Homes centers on providing a clear alternative to hospital-like nursing homes by building and remodeling traditional houses to suit the needs of small communities of people living with dementia.ComfortCare Homes understands that clinical care in large impersonal facilities can elevate stress and increase confusion, and that most people suffering from Alzheimer's and dementia respond well to calm, familiar environments.

Finnland nahm eine Sonderrolle im Bündnisgefüge Nazideutschlands ein: Als nordischer "Waffenbruder" verweigerte man den Deutschen die Herausgabe der eigenen jüdischen Bevölkerung und die Implementierung antisemitischer Politiken und blieb bis Kriegsende ein demokratischer Staat. Die komplexe Weltkriegsgeschichte Finnlands wurde in den letzten Jahren vermehrt kritisch reflektiert. Die Theorie eines "Separatkrieges", die "driftwood theory" und das Verhalten der finnischen Eliten kamen zunehmend in den Fokus einer neuen kritischen Historikergeneration. Anlass, dieser sehr kleinen Geschichte im großen Geschichtspanorama des 2. Weltkrieges und des europäischen Faschismus nachzugehen, ist die Eröffnung der Brauereikneipe "Bryggeri Helsinki" im Prenzlauer Berg. Der Geschäftsführer dieser Gaststätte und der gleichnamigen Brauerei ist Vorsitzender des SS-Traditionsvereins "Veljesapu-Perinneyhdistys ry" (Brüderhilfe e. V.) in Finnland. Die "Brüderhilfe – Traditionsvereinigung" ist eine finnische Hilfs- und Erinnerungsorganisation von ehemaligen Waffen-SS-Mitgliedern. Der eingetragene Verein wurde 1955 gegründet um eine Unterstützung der Waffen-SS-Veteranen zu organisieren, weil diese vom finnischen Staat keine Veteranenrente erhielten. Nach Angaben des Vereins waren 2018 noch 10 von ursprünglich 302 darin organisierten Waffen-SS-Veteranen am Leben. Robert Stark, Alumni-Studienstipendiat der RLS, M.A. Judaistik und Holocaust Studien, studierte an der FU Berlin, dem Touro-College Berlin und der Universität Prag. Er lebt im zentralfinnischen Tampere, bereitet eine Promotionsbewerbung in Helsinki vor und beschäftigt sich mit der jüngeren finnischen Geschichte.

I was not sure I was going to release this one. I have never been a fan of solo episodes. Maybe it is not liking the sound of my own voice recorded. Here it is with most everything left in. We have quite a backlog of episodes that needs to get edited. We hope to get caugt back up very soon. Thank you for your support, Darrin Undercurrent [https://www.undercurrent.org/](http://) **Liveaboard Safety** After the Conception tragedy, we are led to think about the safety of liveaboards on which we all have traveled worldwide. Have you ever been concerned about a boat's layout? About the crews' competence in time of a problem; about your sleeping quarters; the battery chargers; the night watch? We'd like to hear your views and concerns and whether you have taken any special precautions. **Smoking Aboard?** Firefighters tell us most house fires start in the kitchen or are attributed to careless use of cigarettes. Recent events have made us more aware of this potential hazard. Smoking is commonly banned in places of work and public areas for health reasons, but fire affects everyone, especially on a boat. It would be relatively easy to ban smoking on American liveaboards, but less so in foreign countries where smoking is de rigueur. Do you think smoking should be banned aboard? **Atomic Regulator Hose Recall** Huish Outdoors is recalling some Atomic regulator hoses with a low-pressure hose swivel next to the second stage. Affected hoses have a hose crimp that bears a date stamp D0717. If you have any doubts, call repair guru Robert Stark at 310/947-8523, or you can e-mail him a picture of the crimp; or take your regulator to an Atomic dealer. Atomic Aquatics has sent repair kits to some affected customers, but the free repair should still be done by a trained technician. Contact service at (888) 270-8595 ext. 4, or at AALPHose@huishoutdoors.com for instructions. The defective hoses should be returned to Huish Outdoor. **Oldies Battle it Out** Bill Lambert celebrated his 99th birthday in September with short dive in the chilly waters of Pearl Lake with friends, divers and media on-hand for the special occasion. The Rockford, IL resident wants to become the world's oldest scuba diver. Meanwhile, 96-year-old British WWII veteran, Ray Woolly, claims to have broken his own world record as the oldest scuba diver, by going diving at the popular Zenobia wreck off Cyprus' southern coast. He went to 138-feet with a total dive time of 48 minutes. His goal: to keep diving until he reaches 100. **Check That Your Tank Valve is Fully Open** Critical reminder: Before diving, take a couple of breaths from your regulator while checking the pressure-gauge needle stays steady. Sucking strongly on most regulators first with the tank valve shut assures you there are no leaks. (This doesn't work if you have an Atomic regulator both as primary and alternate air source because of its unique design.) **Chinese tourist sorry for scuba tank ‘pranks' on diving trip in Philippines (Thanks Darek)** [https://www.scmp.com/news/china/society/article/3027697/chinese-tourist-sorry-scuba-tank-pranks-diving-trip-philippines?fbclid=IwAR1-KmKT_ZoCPb2Q8cy3ie0mqXWi3pJJts6s3ncd5K95siAAw7n_KlusNiI ](http://) **Salvaging, cleanup of Golden Ray shipwreck will require detailed planning** [https://thebrunswicknews.com/news/local_news/salvaging-cleanup-of-golden-ray-shipwreck-will-require-detailed-planning/article_9bedd9f8-a7f7-51e1-9112-e35a50977171.html](http://) **Canadian boy diving with GoPro helps police solve 1992 cold case (Thanks Darek!)** [https://www.9news.com.au/world/janet-farris-canada-teen-go-pro-underwater-discovery-solves-missing-persons-cold-case-1992-news/989f05f5-c818-4891-b815-65bc10235b95?ocid=Social-9News&fbclid=IwAR2h4cQadVNzS_3DxebYsUpeh9zP6aUQ-d0t3q75EBsVhZRnBLqafDqTQuY ](http://) **Divers take on ‘black water' in mission to solve strangers' 44-year-
