TRANSPORTATION COMMUTER BOOSTER: To kick-start the new

morning service, train commuters between NEWS BRIEFS
Ventura and Santa Barbara ride free in April.
LAW & DISORDER
During an altercation with two Chumash Casino
Resort security guards early Tuesday morning,
Jose Guido, 37, of Santa Barbara was shot and
killed. The incident occurred around 2 a.m. out-
side a parking garage at the casino. As of print
deadline, the Sheriff’s Office had declined to
release further details, including the identities
of the two security guards.

Dos Pueblos High School sophomore Kai-

den Vague died on 2/16 — his 16th birth-
day — from an accidental, self-inflicted
gunshot wound sustained the day before at
the Glass Factory shooting range, where he
was reportedly practicing with his father and
brother. In a GoFundMe account opened to
help the family with funeral expenses, Vague’s
behavioral therapist wrote, “He had high-
functioning autism, and boy was he proud of it.

All Aboard!
His family … runs a nonprofit organization for
individuals with disabilities called SOFTIN Inc.
They are an integral part of the autism com-
munity, and take kids out on the ocean on their

email: starshine@roshell.com tuous moments when our kids’
teams are winning 38 to 3 and
we’re trapped watching a field/court/diamond half full of demoral-
ized children who have just decided that they hate this fricking game.
Just as often, though—and here’s where some will deem me mon-
strous—I root against my kids because I want them to fail.
For one thing, failure imparts brilliant lessons. Pride springs from
winning, but character grows out of losing, and if you don’t believe
me, try playing cards with a brat whose parents always let him win.
Spanx founder Sara Blakely, the self-made billionaire, often says in
interviews that her dad used to ask her at the dinner table how she’d
failed that week — and be disappointed if she had nothing to report.
He encouraged her to try challenging new things without fear of
failing, and that liberating outlook gave her the moxie to build her
booming business.
Similarly, there’s a Lee Pitts essay I like called “These Things I Wish
for You,” written for his grandchildren. “I hope you learn humility
by being humiliated, and that you learn honesty by being cheated,”
he writes.“May you skin your knee climbing a mountain, burn your
hand on a stove, and stick your tongue on a frozen flagpole.” Mean-
est grandpa ever? Maybe. His point: Only by living the full gamut
of human experience can you truly appreciate life.
There’s one final reason I root against my kids — and it occurred

silently cursing the barky, merciless instructor. “I hate her. I hate TICKETS ON SALE NOW!

I don’t enjoy seeing my kids laid low. But life’s going to knock ’em
down plenty of times whether I like it or not. And I want them to
learn how to fall while I’m watching so I can make sure they know
how to stand back up. It’s practice is all.
I want them to hurt temporarily so they’ll be stronger tomorrow.
Unless they ever plan to run for office as Republicans. Then I want
them to hurt tomorrow, too.

GABRIEL OVER THE WHITE HOUSE
When Hollywood Offered Up a ‘Benevolent Fascist’ Fantasy

for a firm hand, a leader who would deal deci-
sively, even ruthlessly, with the national afflic-
tions. “A Dictatorship if Necessary,” proclaimed
