Food, gas prices creep up Pandemic affects costs; winter storm in Texas might be a factor By GRAYCE MCCORMICK NEWS-PRESS STAFF WRITER

There are many different reasons why Santa Barbara residents and Americans nationwide might be seeing a slightly higher total when they fill up their car with gas or buy groceries these days. Like most things, the cost increases can be attributed to the pandemic. Jams in the world’s supply chain could be one reason, according to NBC News, and global shipping dropped in 2020 for the first time since 2009. John Dixon, the owner of TriCounty Produce on Milpas Street, told the News-Press Thursday he doesn’t have specific numbers, but there has been an increase in prices. “There has been a number of products on a regular basis rising five cents here, 10 cents there,” he said. “That’s been happening all year. It is true that a lot of things have been going up in price, but not significantly. Things that used to buy for $1.99 are now $2.39.” Mr. Dixon didn’t mention any specific products increasing in price more than others, but said that the incremental increases seem to be across the board. “It’s small amounts, but over time, if it keeps going up a nickel here, a dime there — in this business, it’s all about the nickels and dimes,” he said. The U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics Consumer Price Index

John Dixon, owner of Tri-County Produce, told the News-Press that there has been slight increases in costs of produce as a result of the pandemic, but they are small and incremental in nature.

data for January found that the cost of food eaten at home rose 3.8% from a year ago, while energy went down 3.6%. The combined production bottlenecks and demand spikes could be the explanation. The recent winter storm in Texas could also be a reason the national average price of gas

Rep. Carbajal votes for reform bill By GRAYCE MCCORMICK NEWS-PRESS STAFF WRITER

U.S. Rep. Salud Carbajal, D-Santa Barbara, voted Wednesday to pass House Resolution 1, a sweeping democracy reform package aimed to protect and expand the right to vote and restore integrity and accountability to Washington, D.C. The House passed H.R. 1, also known as the For the People Act, by a vote of 220 to 210. The bill faces a rocky road ahead in the Senate without Republican support. The bill creates automatic voter registration across the country, enhances absentee voting and expands early voting opportunities. “Many see Congress as a dysfunctional, corrupt

institution more beholden to special interests than the public interest. Today, we face several enormous challenges and confronting them begins with making sure our government is truly of the people, by the people, and for the people,” Rep. Carbajal said in a statement. “I proudly voted for H.R. 1 to enact the transformational change our government needs. This bill delivers on our promise to clean up corruption, end the dominance of big money in politics and fortify our ethics laws so Americans can have faith in our democracy again.” H.R. 1 guards against foreign interference, ends partisan gerrymandering, allows felons who have served their sentences to vote, requires more online Please see BILL on A2

jumped by roughly 18 cents in the past two weeks, according to national media reports. Food prices also have to do with the climate, and extreme storms and changing weather patterns can impact growing timelines and crop yields. However, Mr. Dixon doesn’t think that’s the case for Tri-County Produce, at least.

“Produce is definitely affected by supply and demand on a regular basis. Any time you affect that supply and demand, it certainly affects prices one way or another, up or down, but I’m not going to attribute it to climate change or things like that. I think we’re having our pretty usual weather patterns,” he said. At Gelson’s Market, however, costs across all items are up about 2% from last year, according to Gelson’s chief merchandising officer, John Bagan. “Every major department is seeing costs increase in 2021 versus the beginning of 2020 except for produce,” Mr. Bagan told the News-Press Thursday. He said costs vary across the major departments. Areas like liquor, dairy, seafood, service deli and frozen increased 4% to 6%. Grocery, pre-pack deli, floral and meat prices rose by roughly 2% to 3%. Produce prices actually decreased by 4%. The Certified Angus Beef Prime grade beef category showed an increase 10% to 15%. Farm-raised salmon prices increased by 15% to 20%, and live lobster costs are seeing increases at 30%. “Quite honestly, costs for fresh fruits and vegetables were mostly favorable all of 2020 and into the start of 2021 due to shortfalls in the food service and hospitality pipeline,” Mr. Bagan said. “There were heavy supplies that

2021 is expected to be a busy year at Vandenberg Air Force Base, filled with burgeoning commercial partnerships. That was the message shared Thursday during the 2021 State of Vandenberg Air Force Base address, held by the Santa Maria Valley and Lompoc Valley chambers of commerce. During the virtual talk, Col. David Rickards of the 30th Space Wing reviewed 2020’s accomplishments, including the first commercial launch from the base. The SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket carried the Sentinel-6 Michael Freilich satellite, which will document sea levels, into orbit Nov. 21, 2020. Community members heard sonic booms that morning. It was one of just five launches in 2020. Col. Rickards listed 13 launches manifested for 2021, noting that the 2,000th launch from Vandenberg will likely happen this fall. “It’s going to be a busy year,” he said. “It’s quite exciting to see our tempo increase.” Firefly Aerospace, a commercial partner, should launch from the base this year, he said. The 30th Space Wing began planning for a commercial space hub last year. It signed memorandums of understanding with REACH (Regional Economic Action Coalition of the Central Coast), Deloitte, the Governor’s Office of Business and Economic Development, Cal Poly and Santa Barbara County to create a master plan. “It establishes relationships; it doesn’t establish a timeline per se,” Col. Rickards said. “A lot of cooperation will have to come together.” The public-private partnership will help establish the infrastructure needed for the

project to get off the ground. The 30th Space Wing is also planning a commercial solutions opening and pitch day May 26 with a “Shark-Tank-like panel” to hear proposals. “Contracts may be awarded from those pitch-day commanders on the spot,” Col. Rickards said. The event will be publicized by the end of the month. While Vandenberg Air Force Base did not become the headquarters of the U.S. Space Command last year, officials see potential in another base opportunity this year. The Space Training and Readiness Command, or STARCOM, is expected to be established in 2021. Col. Rickards said Vandenberg is a good candidate thanks to its large acreage. The base became home to Space Delta 5 in July, inactivating the role as 614th Air Operations Center, and transferred to the Space Force in September. The first members of the U.S. Space Force came to Vandenberg in 2020, and Col. Rickards estimated the Space Force will be 6,000 members strong by the end of 2021. “The list is long for applications into the Space Force and transfers in,” he said. He anticipates the Air Force will provide support to the new field. Another accomplishment in 2020 is the opening of a STARBASE program on the base. It allows elementary school classes to visit and explore STEM applications. “The goal no matter what is to motivate students of all ages to explore STEM education,” Col. Rickards said. STARBASE staff are currently forming relationships with local schools.

BILL

Continued from Page A1 political ad disclosures and forces all organizations involved in political activity to disclose their large donors. The legislation would set up a new public financing system for congressional and presidential elections to incentivize smalldonor donations by establishing a six-to-one match using taxpayer money for each grassroots contribution to a candidate up to $200. This means that a $200 donation to a House candidate would garner a $1,200 match in public funds for a total contribution of $1,400. This would be funded by a new 4.75% surcharge on criminal and civil penalties and settlements that corporations pay to the federal government, and the total revenue stream was estimated to generate about $3.2 billion over 10 years, according to national media reports. The program would begin in the 2028 election cycle and be voluntary. Candidates would opt in by meeting donation qualifications, and be subject to certain contribution limits. Supporters of the bill say this match program would get big money and corporate interests out of elections. “Our democracy is fragile. We need look no further than the

insurrection by a violent mob we witnessed a few short months ago for proof of that fact,” said Rep. Carbajal. “At the very core of our democracy is the right to vote and the measures in H.R. 1 make it easier for more Americans to exercise that right, something every public servant should be able to get behind.” The bill is expected to run into trouble in the Senate, where it would require the support of 10 Republicans to achieve the required 60-vote majority. Not a single House Republican voted in favor of the bill, and one House Democrat voted against it. This legislation is close to the same as the version that passed during the last Congress, barring states from restricting the ability to vote by mail and calling for states to use independent redistricting commissions to create congressional district boundaries. “We live in an era of big, secret, special-interest money in our politics and a lack of accountability. Voters should feel confident that their public servants are serving their constituents, not special-interest groups,” said Rep. Carbajal. “The reforms included in H.R. 1 will help put power back in the hands of the American people and make sure public servants act in the public’s interest.” email: gmccormick@newspress. com

The decrease for the floral section was 1.9%. Mr. Bagan said meat prices rose because of the increase in feed and labor costs, along with poor weather in the Midwest and productivity declines due to the pandemic. “Since last year when the pandemic arrived, consumers have unfortunately had to deal with conditions that have rarely ever occurred outside of rare events like natural disasters,” he said. “During the panic-buying phase, there were extreme impacts on availability of product and we were at times unable to

keep product on the shelves. It is fortunate, though, that prices for healthy items like fresh produce have actually been down throughout this time.” Many other things can explain cost hikes, he added, such as limited catch regarding seafood and temporary closures of meat production plants at the beginning of the pandemic and opening later at reduced capacities. “All the foods that are produced in production plants or in fields are affected — anything that takes manual labor — due to illnesses and reduction in production due to need for distancing,” Mr. Bagan said. “We never like to see costs go up. Gelson’s and other grocers work on margins that are much lower than other businesses, so when our costs go up, they impact our customers through higher retail prices.” email: gmccormick@newspress.com

Dedicated Lompoc nurse DAISY Award winner Thao Carey has a passion for helping others By MADISON HIRNEISEN NEWS-PRESS CORRESPONDENT

COURTESY PHOTOS

Lompoc Valley Medical Center nurse Thao Carey was awarded the DAISY Award in February for her excellent standard of care for patients in the Critical Care Unit. Ms. Carey has worked as a critical care nurse at the Lompoc hospital for the past three and a half years.

s a young college student, Thao Carey knew she had a future in science. But when she began working in a chemistry lab after graduating college, something just didn’t feel right. She was missing human interaction. It wasn’t until years later that Ms. Carey discovered her passion for nursing. For the last three and a half years, the Lompoc resident has worked as a critical care nurse at Lompoc Valley Medical Center. Though her time at the Lompoc hospital has been short, Ms. Carey’s excellent standard of care has been applauded by both her colleagues and patients. Her compassionate care gained the attention of the DAISY Foundation, which awarded her the prestigious DAISY Award in February. The DAISY Award recognizes nurses for “the extraordinary skillful, compassionate care they provide patients and families,” according to the foundation’s website. The foundation was started in honor of Patrick Barnes, who died from an autoimmune disease complication at the age of 33. The Barnes family was so appreciative of the end-of-life care Patrick received in his final weeks and started the foundation to honor nurses who go above and beyond for their patients. “I was very honored and surprised and humbled (to receive the award),” Ms. Carey told the News-Press. “I felt that there were very deserving candidates, and I was very honored that they picked me.” Nursing is a second career for Ms. Carey, who began as a lab assistant before her marriage to her husband, Brian. The couple moved to Lompoc in 2007 with their two children, who are now 11 and 13, to begin Brian’s dental practice. After spending a few years

devoted to her husband’s practice, Ms. Carey began searching for a career for herself. She looked for something that could combine her passion for science with her compassionate spirit. “I just wanted something for myself, and with a science background, (Brian) encouraged me to try nursing,” Ms. Carey told the News-Press. After earning her Certified Nursing Assistant certificate from Allan Hancock College in Santa Maria, Ms. Carey went on to earn her bachelor’s degree in nursing in May 2017 at Cal State Channel Islands. Afterward, she began working as a critical care nurse at LVMC, where she has worked for three and a half years. “Thao is an amazing nurse,” LVMC Senior Nursing Director Karen Kelly said in a statement. “She not only provides excellent care for her patients and their families, she also cares for her fellow nurses by always being there when they need a helping hand. She is the ultimate team player.” Last March, when COVID-19 began spreading rapidly across the U.S., Ms. Carey took on extra shifts, at times working 12 to 14 hours for six days per week, to aid those infected with the virus. As

an experienced Critical Care Unit nurse, Ms. Carey said she felt it was her duty to increase her hours in response to the pandemic. “You just got to do what you can,” Ms. Carey said. “(The pandemic) was not easy for all of us — for myself, the administrators, for everybody. It was so new and so many unknowns. It was hard.” Working extra hours did not come without its fair share of sacrifices. As Ms. Carey worked on the frontlines of the pandemic, she sent her children to live with her mother-in-law for a month to protect them from the virus. Prior to the pandemic, Ms. Carey worked three or four days per week, allowing her time to see her children more regularly on her days off. But with the pandemic still in full swing, time with her kids has been more limited. Ms. Carey said they miss her, but they understand that her job is essential in fighting the pandemic. Ms. Carey said she reminds her children, “We are healthy. We have a roof over our head. I’m trying to be there for people who are not fortunate enough.” With all of the recognition surrounding the DAISY Award, Ms. Carey said she feels humbled

to receive this award for doing the job she loves. She is also grateful for the support of her family, who give her the flexibility to pick up extra shifts when needed and aid patients in desperate times. Nurses who receive the DAISY Award are nominated by patients, families and colleagues, and Ms. Carey was chosen as the recipient of the first LVMC DAISY Award after receiving many nominations from staff and former patients. “I feel so humbled, and with all these people reaching out to me to do articles, I feel a little embarrassed,” Ms. Carey said. “I feel like there are way more people who are way more than deserving than me, so I really want to recognize all the staff who made me who I am.” email: mhirneisen@newspress.com

Winfrey interviews Prince Harry, Meghan

rince Harry and Meghan will discuss changes in their lives with fellow Montecito resident Oprah Winfrey during “Oprah with Meghan and Harry: A CBS Primetime Special.” The program will air at 8 p.m. Sunday on KCOY-TV, Channel 12. Prince Harry and Meghan, The Duke and Duchess of Sussex, made headlines last summer with their move to Montecito, where they live in a mansion with nine bedrooms and 16 bathrooms. The 18,671 square-foot estate is on 7.4 acres of land with a pool and is on a private, gated street. The couple reportedly spent $14.65 million on the mansion. Sunday’s TV special will feature Ms. Winfrey talking with Meghan about topics such as stepping into life as a royal, her philanthropic work, her marriage, motherhood and how she is handling life under intense public pressure, according to a CBS news release. Later in the special, Prince Harry will join Ms. Winfrey and Meghan as they discuss the couple’s move to the U.S. and the dreams for their family. Prince Harry and Meghan have a son, Archie, and are expecting a second child. Recently, Buckingham Palace confirmed that the couple will not continue as working members of the royal family. The couple’s royal patronages and Harry’s honorary military titles will be returned to Queen Elizabeth II and redistributed to working members of the royal family. The couple decided to take a step back from their full-time royal duties at the start of 2020. At the time, they agreed to review their situation after a year had passed. Ultimately, Prince Harry and Meghan decided not to resume their royal duties. — Dave Mason

CEC explores solutions in webinar series By ANNELISE HANSHAW NEWS-PRESS STAFF WRITER

The Community Environmental Council will highlight the ideas and values curated in its year-long Climate Resilience Roundtable series in a two-part webinar from 10 a.m. to 2:30 p.m. March 12. The webinar will summarize the year’s findings, then launch a roundtable to discuss implementing the values and ideas of the community. The event is free, but prior registration is required. The roundtable discussion has limited spots. The webinar will be presented in English with Spanish interpretation. From 10 to 11:30 a.m., leaders will describe the themes of the previous roundtables and feature conversations with Nuin-Tara Key, deputy director for climate resilience at the Governor’s Office of Planning and Research, and Juliette Finzi Hart, program manager for the Integrated Climate Adaptation and Resilience Program. From 1 to 2:30 p.m., participants will discuss opportunities for collaboration and implementation of the ideas. Carl Palmer and Carrie Kappel of LegacyWorks Group will guide both segments. “The Climate Resilience Roundtable series has allowed the Community

Environmental Council and partner organizations to bring together community members and leaders from all sectors into one room so that together, we can move toward greater climate resilience,” said Sharyn Main, Community Environmental Council director of climate resilience. “We hope this model will replicate across our region and that we will see more and more partnerships develop across industries and more conversations happening across the bridge of stakeholders.” The event is primarily for local leaders interested in climate resilience and individuals who want to shape the effort. “We know that most of the actual on-the-ground work will take place at the local and regional level, which is why CEC and our partners are leaning into this moment, turning to the rich resource pool that the Climate Resilience Roundtable series has developed as we move our region toward zero carbon over the next decade,” Community Environmental Council CEO Sigrid Wright said. To register for the event, go to cec.pub/cs.

Marian receives technology for COVID patients By GERRY FALL NEWS-PRESS STAFF WRITER

Thanks to the philanthropic support of the Mark and Dorothy Smith Family Foundation, Marian Regional Medical Center has secured the Extracorporeal Membrane Oxygenation medical technology for critically ill COVID-19 patients and others experiencing life-threatening conditions. The Santa Maria hospital’s ECMO is now being used to treat patients. Marian, which is part of Dignity Health, is the only hospital between the San Francisco Bay Area and Los Angeles with this life-saving equipment, which mitigates the need to travel outside of the area for care. The ECMO medical equipment is similar to the heart-lung bypass machine used in openheart surgery, as it pumps and oxygenates a patient’s blood outside the body, allowing the heart and lungs to rest. When patients receive ECMO treatment, blood flows through tubing to an artificial lung in the machine that adds oxygen and takes out carbon dioxide. Then the blood is warmed to body temperature and pumped back into the body. According to a news release, Marian’s advanced cardiac program along with in-house critical care specialists are essential for providing this service. Inspired by Santa Maria COVID-19 survivors Louis and Melissa Meza, the Mark and Dorothy Smith Family Foundation directors recognized that the region’s most critically ill COVID-19 patients in need of ECMO treatment were being transferred out of the area to receive this life-saving

procedure. Ms. Meza experienced severe complications due to COVID-19, which required various treatments and an emergency transfer to a Santa Monica hospital to receive the life-saving ECMO treatment. As such, the Mark and Dorothy Smith Family Foundation made a significant donation in honor of Louis and Melissa Meza to fund the acquisition of Marian’s ECMO medical technology.

CODEWORD PUZZLE

SUDOKU

Thought for Today

P E Z K

Every number in the codeword grid is ‘code’ for a letter of the alphabet. Thus, the number 2 may correspond to the letter L, for instance. All puzzles come with a few letters to start. Your first move should be to enter these letters in the puzzle grid. If the letter S is in the box at the bottom of the page underneath the number 2, your first move should be to find all cells numbered 2 in the grid and enter the letter S. Cross the letter S off the list at the bottom of the grid. Remember that at the end you should have a different letter of the alphabet in each of the numbered boxes 1- 26, and a word in English in each of the horizontal and vertical runs on the codeword grid.

Spectators will not be allowed because of COVID-19 concerns. The records of the Central Coast’s two Division 1 universities suggest that UCSB has a smooth path to the title. But coach Joe Pasternack has been down this road before. Last year’s 2110 Gauchos needed JaQuori McLaughlin’s last-second, fadeaway jumper to overcome a 7-23 Cal Poly team on Senior Night. “This is sports, this is college basketball, and there’s not a big margin for error,” Pasternack said. “They have talent, we have talent, and it all comes down to your mentality on a day-by-day basis. “Obviously, last year’s Cal Poly game showed that all records and standings go out the door. We were down 13 to them in the second half (56-43 with 11:08 remaining).” The Mustangs’ last four defeats were all close games, with UC Davis edging them 68-66 in overtime last Saturday. UCSB’s defeat at Riverside on Saturday wasn’t close, 68-52. “Our message on Monday and every single day this week was that we didn’t do what we do on Saturday … and we lost,” Pasternack said. “We didn’t follow our rules. “Give Riverside credit, they did a great job. But we have to get back to doing what we do on offense and on defense. That’s our only concern. That’s our only focus. We’ve really had to get after it this week in practice, and the guys have done a great job.” UCSB played last weekend’s double-header at Riverside without top reserve guards Ajare Sanni and Josh Pierre-Louis. They were both held out over “an abundance

Westmont College got four points from Stefanie Berberabe in the final 32 seconds to turn a tied game to a 70-66 women’s basketball victory at Point Loma on Thursday just two hours after learning it had been seeded No. 2 for the NAIA National Basketball Tournament. The Warriors (10-1), who got 23

UCSB’s Ajare Sanni, the Gauchos’ third-leading scorer at 11.5 points per game this season, is set to return to the team tonight after being held out last weekend due to COVID-19 concerns.

of caution” with COVID-19. Sanni is the Gauchos’ third-leading scorer at 11.5 points per game and ranks 10th in the Big West with a threepoint percentage of .420. PierreLouis averages 5.7 points. Pasternack said both players will be available this weekend. “Not having those two last weekend was a tough pill to swallow,” he conceded. McLaughlin enters his final two games at the Thunderdome as the

prohibitive favorite to win Big West Player of the Year honors. The 6-foot-4 senior guard ranks second in the Big West in both scoring (15.95 points) and assists (5.4). Amadou Sow, a 6-9 junior, is 11th in scoring (12.55), second in fieldgoal percentage (.557) and fourth in rebounding (7.3). Sow will be going against 6-8 Alimamy Koroma, his former high school teammate at Napa’s Prolific Prep, who leads Cal Poly

with averages of 12.9 points and 5.8 rebounds. His 7-2 wingspan has enabled him to rank second in the league in blocked shots per game (1.17). The Mustangs broke a school record by blocking 13 of UC Davis’ shots on Saturday. And this weekend, they’ll try to block UCSB’s path to a championship.

To get ahead of the COVID variants, UCSB, Cottage Health and the county Public Health Department launched parallel, collaborative variant surveillance projects. One part of this monitoring effort will focus on the UCSB community alongside its ongoing asymptomatic surveillance program. People scheduling a testing appointment through the Student Health Patient Portal will be given an opportunity to learn about the research project. If they wish, they can consent to have a portion of the sample they provide for their test be reserved for sequencing in the event their sample tests positive. “In addition to just basic science interest, knowing more about these variants could also influence our testing strategies, and that could also impact what you could expect about vaccine effectiveness,” said

UCSB biologist Stuart Feinstein in a news release. Cottage and County Public Health’s efforts include a Local Variant Task Team focused on the wider Santa Barbara County community. Their ongoing research focuses on both randomly selected samples and cases where a new variant may be more likely, such as patients with infection after being vaccinated, a sample taken from an outbreak setting or a person returning from an area with high levels of variants of concern. Positive samples collected by either entity will be sent to UCSB virologist Carolina Arias’ laboratory for genetic sequencing and variant detection. Dr. Lynn Fitzgibbons, an infectious disease specialist at Cottage Health, shared in one of her video updates on Tuesday the COVID variants of concern. She listed the following numbers of these variant cases in California: 206 positive cases of

the B.1.1.7 variant; two cases of the B.1.351 variant; zero cases of the P.1 variant (which she mentioned is concerning since it proved to cause a surge in individuals who had already fallen sick with COVID prior); 1,088 cases of the B.1.427 variant; and 2,771 cases of B.1.429. B.1.427 and B.1.429 are considered the “West Coast variants.” However, she said, “We don’t have conclusive evidence that these variants of concern are dramatically more infectious or are associated with increased severity of illness, but again, I think there’s more to be learned and more to come, probably within the next one or two weeks.” Dr. David Fisk, medical director for infectious disease control and prevention at Cottage Health, told the News-Press that vaccines are the best line of defense against these variants. “With the variants that seem to be circulating around the world, the evidence seems to be pointing

toward that vaccines in general that have protective effects, if not a full amount of protection that they offered before certain variants arise, are still offering good levels of protection to just about every variant that’s been encountered so far, which is a real positive thing we’re learning,” said Dr. Fisk, who also works for Sansum Clinic. He added that the flexibility of the vaccine manufacturers is also encouraging. “The ability of the manufacturers to rapidly modify their vaccines to still be active against the variants is good,” Dr. Fisk said. “The fact that … the companies won’t have to go back to the drawing board and start over to retest modified vaccines, I think, is an important safety advance in our future ability to fend off any possible aggressive variant.” email: gmccormick@newspress. com

Eyes on variants By GRAYCE MCCORMICK

Charles L. Alva, “Uncle Charlie” 89, passed away on Feb. 16, a victim of the Covid virus. He was born in Santa Barbara on August 14, 1931. He lived for several years in Mexico but returned to Santa Barbara in his early teens. He served in the US Army for two years with a tour of duty in Japan. Upon returning to Santa Barbara, he began to work at Steve’s Market, in Montecito, which later became Jurgenson’s, where he worked for many years and subsequently retired. He married Vera Hruba Ralston Yates in 1973 and together they hosted many parties at their beachside estate. Vera passed away in 2003. Uncle Charlie then devoted his life to various philanthropic organizations and enjoyed assisting the vendors at the local Farmer’s market. He was a superb cook, “chef.” He loved cooking and was known to fix dinner for 150 guests for a Bar-B-Q, with steaks to order. Sometimes in the middle of the night, unable to sleep, he was known to bake a cheese cake, scones, a pie, or cream puffs. Quite often he would prepare meals for his gardeners and other employees. One never visited him without leaving with some of his kitchen goodies. He never opened a cook book. While he was working at Jurgenson’s, Julia Child would drop in to see what Charlie was preparing for the employees’ lunch in the store’s kitchen. He was a longtime member of the Coral Casino, where he hosted an annual family gathering of birthday celebrations. He is survived by many nieces and nephews. Among them are Sally Hawkes (Emmet), Tony Ramirez (Jill), Richard Ramirez (Roberta) and Gil Rosas (Susan). His vitality, love of life and people will be long remembered. Rest in peace, “Uncle Charlie.” Because of the pandemic, a service will be private. Please remember your private charity.
