Coast Guard sued over Conception fire Families contend Coast Guard is responsible after years of certifying boat By MADISON HIRNEISEN NEWS-PRESS STAFF WRITER

On the day after the Conception boat fire, community members set up a memorial near Santa Barbara Harbor to honor the victims of the tragedy.

KENNETH SONG/NEWS-PRESS FILE PHOTO

The families of the 34 people who perished in the Conception boat fire in 2019 filed a lawsuit against the U.S. Coast Guard this week, alleging that the agency allowed the ship to sail despite “blatant life-safety violations.” The suit, which was filed Wednesday in federal court in Los Angeles, claims that the Coast Guard should be held accountable for the Conception incident after years of repeatedly certifying the ship even when there were numerous violations of the agency’s own regulations and procedures. Thursday marked two years since the Conception vessel, which was owned by Santa Barbarabased Truth Aquatics, caught fire near Santa Cruz Island, killing 33 passengers and one crew member who were trapped in the ship’s sleeping deck. Each of the passengers died of smoke inhalation, according to the Santa Barbara County Coroner’s Bureau. After an investigation, the National Transporation Safety Board was unable to determine the exact cause of the fire, but cited failure to comply with Coast Guard regulations on the part of Capt. Jerry Boylan and Truth Aquatics as likely reasons for the blaze, among other safety violations. Mr. Boylan, who fled the burning ship on an inflatable skiff, has been indicted on 34 counts of seaman’s manslaughter. Please see CONCEPTION on A8

Life Cube develops model for military use By MADISON HIRNEISEN NEWS-PRESS STAFF WRITER

Life Cube Inc., a Santa Barbara company that specializes in portable and inflatable shelters, recently completed its third contract with the U.S. military to develop insulated, refrigerated shelters that can be airdropped into remote military bases. This contract was completed through the creation of the “Cool Cube,” a new shelter model that includes an inflatable tent, insulated wall panels and flooring. When deployed, the product comes in five-foot storage containers that can unfold into rugged floors and structured walls, turning the shelter into a fully functional, military grade refrigerated facility for food and medical supplies. The creation of this product came as a result of interest from

the Department of Defense, who was in search of a portable, insulated shelter that could store food and supplies on the front lines. While the product is still in the research and developing testing phase, company executives say the Cool Cube will help to fulfill the military’s goal with an easily transportable product that can be securely airdropped. “The completion of our Cool Cube for use by troops stationed overseas has greatly heightened awareness of the versatility of Life Cubes throughout all branches of the military,” Michael Conner, the inventor of the Life Cube, told the News-Press in a statement. “This new model proves our shelter system’s unique capabilities for a variety of applications. We believe it will establish us as one of the preeminent suppliers of soft- and rigid-wall shelters.” Executives also say the product allows the military to remain

66833 00050

mobile by providing an easy way to transport refrigerated materials on the field. The product also removes the need for traditional infrastructure to be built, giving the military the option to easily take the product on the go. “The military is on the move — it’s not the old way where they want to build infrastructure (or) have to build fixtures on to the areas where they’re going to be operating,” Brian Esposito, the company’s chief strategic advisor, told the News-Press. “They want (a product) that could be deployed quickly and taken down quickly or just deployed quickly and stay there. So because of that interest and the future of what the military looks like, especially on the ground, companies like Life Cube have a great opportunity to make those structures go up as quickly Please see LIFE CUBE on A6

Dream Foundation extends program to Puerto Rico By MARILYN MCMAHON NEWS-PRESS STAFF WRITER

Dream Foundation fulfills the final dreams of terminallyill adults and their families for those who live within the contiguous United States, Hawaii, Alaska and now, Puerto Rico. “This is the first expansion in the organization’s 27-year history,” said Kisa Heyer, Dream Foundation’s chief executive officer, in a news release. “While we have been able to send Dream Recipients home to Puerto Rico, this is the first time that we will be able to serve those currently living in the territory.” Dream Foundation is based in Santa Barbara. Its pilot expansion is limited to Puerto Rico although other U.S. territories will be considered in the future. Helping to spearhead the efforts will be corporate partner Genentech, a member of the Roche Group, and strategic KENNETH SONG/NEWS-PRESS PHOTOS

According to the county’s latest vaccination data, 74.2% of eligible residents 12 and older have received at least one shot, and 65.3% of that population is fully vaccinated. Of the entire county population, 55.3% of people are fully vaccinated.

partner, the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs. Dream Foundation’s partnership with the VA began 5 years ago to facilitate positive events, provide motivational support and fulfill final dreams for veterans and their families. “This expansion opens up a world of opportunities for the organization. We are excited to see the growth of its dream-granting programs and are anxious to serve more individuals and families across our nation,” said Ms. Heyer. Dream recipients are 18 or older, are diagnosed with a life-limiting illness with a life expectancy of one year or less and lack the resources to fulfill the dream themselves. To apply through Dreams for Veterans, applicants must provide proof of service. For more information, go to www.dreamfoundation.org.

Day of Hope raises $316,556 for cancer center By MARILYN MCMAHON NEWS-PRESS STAFF WRITER

Organizers say the eighth annual Day of Hope, benefiting cancer patients at Mission Cancer Center in Santa Maria, delivered hope unlike any other year. The Marian Regional Medical Center Foundation raised more than $316,556 in support of patient assistance needs, the acquisition of advanced technology and equipment, and programs and services. The amount represents the support of more than 30 sponsors, the work of more than 30 community teams and hundreds of donors throughout the community and the nation. Last year’s event raised $257,202, and this year’s total of $316,556 represents a 23% increase in donations, according to a news release. “During the pandemic, we have

contemplated how to approach Day of Hope to ensure community wellness and safety,” said Dr. Robert Dichmann, the center’s cancer program medical director. “While the events were different, the outpouring of community support remained steadfast. The funds raised from this year’s Day of Hope will provide critical resources, programs and advanced technology for local cancer patients at Mission Hope Cancer Center, and we are incredibly grateful for the ongoing support.” The following individual teams and company teams were recognized for going above and beyond in their fundraising efforts: Top Teams: Individual Teams Category: First place: Passion for Color Team led by Angelica Gutierrez, raised $13,290. Second place: Maggi’s Dream

Team led by Maggi Daane, raised $6,251, Third place: Team Betty led by Catriena Lyons, $3,146. Top Teams: Company Teams Category: First place: Rancho Harvest led by Jessica Manriquez, raised $30,425. Second place: Rugged Radios led by Taryn Timothy, raised $29,254. Third place: Dignity Health Home Health and Infusion led by Maggie Maratas and Michele Rodriguez, raised $4,370. Day of Hope 2021 was held on Aug. 4, and community volunteers sold the Santa Maria Times Special Edition Day of Hope newspaper at more than 30 locations throughout Santa Maria Valley. In addition, the Day of Hope Car Parade was led by this year’s event Ambassador Karissa Sanchez and parade sponsors Pacific Petroleum and Cruzin’ for Life. Although the 2021 Day of Hope event has concluded, donations are still welcome at the Mission Hope Cancer Center.

Magazine honors Santa Maria jet center By DAVE MASON NEWS-PRESS MANAGING EDITOR

A Santa Maria jet center has made a national magazine cover. The Central Coast Jet Center was recently honored by Aerospace & Defense Review magazine, which put Chris Kunkle, the center’s vice president of operations, on the cover. The center is the largest aviation tenant at the Santa Maria Public Airport. The award was chosen by a panel made up of CEOs, CIOs, venture capitalists, analysts and the Aerospace and Defense Review editorial board. In their selection process, they looked at the company’s offerings, core competency, news/press releases, client testimonials, milestones and other recognition. According to a news release, the jet center is a familyowned fixed-base operator with three generations of aviation experience. (The center is the closest fixed-base operator to Hawaii.) Established in 2003 by CCJC President Jim Kunkle, the center caters to general and corporate aviation and military aviation. And it serves as one of the U.S. Forest Service’s largest air tanker base operations in America. “The CCJC has been an excellent FBO operator, and I am very glad a national aviation magazine has recognized the outstanding operation and service provided by that facility,” said Santa Maria airport general manager Chris Hastert. Chris Kunkle of CCJC noted the jet center is proud to have received the award. “As a three-generation aviation family, we strive to offer the highest quality service with a family feeling, which is very important to how we operate and treat our customers,” he said in

the news release. In addition to serving the US Forest Service, general and corporate aviation, CCJC is also one of the few FBOs in the nation contracted with the U.S. government to offer rapid refueling capabilities for both rotor and fixed-wing aircraft. The CCJC helped to bring an award-winning air show to Santa

as possible.” The new Cool Cube model is just one of Life Cube’s multiple structures under development, with each prototype building upon the original cube model. The original Cool Cube model, which was designed and patented within the last decade, has the ability to be inflated in five minutes and is buoyant. According to a company spokesperson, Mr. Conner was inspired to create the first Life Cube model more than a decade ago when he saw reports of villagers stuck on a mountaintop after an earthquake. During a news report, a reporter said the villagers would likely freeze overnight due to inadequate shelter options. Upon hearing the report, the spokesperson said Mr. Conner thought it was “ridiculous that we can get to the moon, but we can’t get supplies and shelter to villagers on a mountaintop.” Watching the tragedy unfold ultimately led the innovator on an impassioned mission to create a portable, inflatable shelter that could be deployed across the world to save lives. This mission has culminated in the creation of multiple Life Cube models, several innovation awards and an appearance at the United Global Conference on Disaster Relief Mitigation in 2012. The founder did not stop with just one Life Cube model, however. In addition to the original Life Cube and the Cool Cube design, Mr. Conner recently developed a new kind of transportable structure with rigid walls known as the “Hard Cube.” The Hard Cube features rigid walls that are completely collapsible and are made for “off the grid” portable use. The shelters feature an integrated solar power system that can deliver up to 2,500 watts of power and can sleep up to 12 individuals, according to company executives. When deployed, the structures are 154 square feet and include a small porch. The structure also has a rainwater collection system in its gutters, a shower system and doors that lock. Recent lab testing also showed that the structure could withstand winds of up to 73 miles per hour. Looking ahead, officials say these rigid wall shelters could be used locally and around the world as temporary shelters for homeless individuals or emergency shelters in times of disaster. According to a company spokesperson, the company is currently having conversations with local providers about supplying rigid wall shelters for use among the unsheltered population. With each model having the versatility and durability to endure storms and provide shelter in emergency situations, the company spokesperson said all Life Cube models help to fulfill the company’s goal — saving lives by providing quick and portable housing options. “Providing housing in austere conditions quickly and easily — whether its residents after a flood, or firefighters in need of a base camp that they can quickly put up, or in the Cool Cube case, the refrigeration on the front line — doing things quickly is extremely important,” a company spokesperson said. “That means it needs to be lightweight, and there’s a constant effort to find lightweight materials that are strong enough to withstand the disaster, or military type of use. And so having a mobility package — meaning you can roll it around to get it into place and you can set up the inflatable in five minutes — (is) really achieving the goal of getting it where it needs to go and be recognized quickly.”

When transported, the Cool Cube comes in five-foot by five-foot shipping containers that can be folded out and used as flooring.

PROJECT: SENIOR MOBILEHOME PARK OVERLAY PROJECT DESCRIPTION: The City of Santa Barbara proposes to amend Chapter 30.57 of the Santa Barbara Municipal Code (SBMC) to add a Senior Mobilehome Park (SMP) Overlay to preserve a variety and balance of housing types within the City by providing assurances that existing senior mobilehome parks within the Mobilehome Park Overlay Zone will remain exclusively available to seniors. The proposed ordinance amendment would apply to existing mobilehome parks in which at least eighty percent of the spaces are occupied by, or intended for occupancy by, at least one person who is fifty-five years of age or older, or in which one hundred percent of the spaces are occupied or intended for occupancy by persons sixty-two years of age or older. The purpose of this hearing is for the Planning Commission to receive public input and consider the proposed amendments to the SBMC and forward a recommendation for adoption to City Council.

Continued from Page A1

Wednesday’s wrongful death suit, however, says the Coast Guard itself should be held responsible for violating its own standards and certifying the “fire trap” that had a “noncompliant, overloaded electric system” that contributed to the fire. The suit outlines multiple “enforcement lapses” in the Coast Guard’s certification, including that the ship’s electric and wiring system did not comply with regulatory standards. The suit alleges that the ship’s faulty electric system was stressed by a nitrox generation system that generated air for scuba tanks — so much so that the ship’s galley stove and nitrox system could not be operated at the same time. The lawsuit also states that the Coast Guard did know or should have known that Truth Aquatics added “undocumented and illdesigned” outlets throughout the vessel and allowed customers to charge digital cameras, smartphones, cell phones, tablets and other lithium battery equipment, despite the strained electrical system. The suit explains that lithium batteries are known to cause increased fire risks, and alleges that a “lithium-fueled” fire broke out on the ship that “had been sparked and/or critically accelerated by defective equipment which was plugged into an overburdened shipboard electrical system.” “This overburdened shipboard electrical system had been designed, developed, built, installed, and refurbished without adequate fire detection, without adequate fire protection and/or without adequate electrical systems and wiring by (Richard and Dana) Fritzler, Truth Aquatics, and others, and inspected and approved by the Coast Guard,” the lawsuit said. “Nevertheless, at all times material, the Coast Guard failed to perform adequate inspections, allowing Conception to sail with these hazardous and ultimately deadly conditions.” In addition to these complaints, the lawsuit also said that the ship had a “non-compliant fire detection and suppression system” and lacked passenger escape routes that met Coast Guard standards. Speaking on behalf of the legal team in the suit, Jeffrey P. Goodman, a partner at Saltz Mongeluzzi & Bendesky P.C., said in addition to the Coast Guard’s role in critical safety missions, it is also responsible for “ensuring that only properly certified

STOTSER, Elisa 11/25/36 – 8/12/21

Elisa Stotser, 84 of Santa Barbara, passed away peacefully in her home with family by her side on August 12, 2021. Elisa was born on November 25, 1936 to Felix and Conception Guitron. She was raised, along with her 5 siblings, on their family farm in the Coachella Valley. Elisa came to Santa Barbara after graduating from high school to attend Knapp School of Nursing. Upon graduation, she began her 45-year career as a nurse at Santa Barbara Cottage Hospital. She enjoyed sharing with others her vast experiences from her many years spent at Cottage Hospital. Elisa met her husband John on a blind date in 1964. They fell in love and were married shortly thereafter. Prior to John’s passing in 2012, they had been married for 48 years - an accomplishment they were both very proud of. They raised two children and were the proud grandparents to five grandchildren. Elisa’s greatest joy in life came from the immense love her grandchildren brought her. Elisa enjoyed entertaining. This was especially evident in her passion for cooking. She firmly believed there was no such thing as making too much food. This rang true, whether it was a party, a holiday gathering or simply her Sunday family dinners. It has been said by many that the aromas that emanated from her kitchen were intoxicating and that the meals themselves were some of the best they ever had. Elisa will be remembered for many things: Her “shop till you drop” mantra, perfectly exemplified by her annual after-Thanksgiving shopping trips with her best friend Anita; Her planning and organizational skills, always executing everything to a tee; her philanthropic nature of giving back to those in need; her fanatical love of the Christmas season, which she began planning and shopping for every July, adorning her gifts with homemade bows and the many memories that will be treasured of times spent around the fireplace lined with Christmas stockings for everyone – including the pets. She taught the importance of being honest, fair, kind, disciplined, good mannered and that quality was always more important than quantity. Above all, Elisa will be remembered for her extreme compassion, devotion to family and the love she shared with others. Elisa is survived by her daughter Annamarie Sharpe (Peter), her son J.T. Stotser (Aimee), her five grandchildren Colin, Taylor, Cassidy, Jackson and Ryan, her brother Al Guitron (Sue), many nieces and nephews along with her faithful companion of the past five years – her cat Ginger. Her family wishes to acknowledge the care she received from both Assisted and Assisted Hospice as her illness progressed. Donations in her honor can be made to Santa Barbara Cottage Hospital or the American Cancer Society.

Teddy Bear Cancer Foundation dreams big this month

Down-to-earth transportation

Nonprofit stresses ‘Dream Big’ theme for its Gold Ribbon Campaign By MARILYN MCMAHON NEWS-PRESS STAFF WRITER

Each September, Teddy Bear Cancer Foundation celebrates National Childhood Cancer Awareness month through its Gold Ribbon Campaign to raise awareness and funds for pediatric cancer. This year, TBCF’s campaign theme is “Dream Big” to take families from “surviving to thriving.” With the catalyst of generous seed capital to purchase a building, the focus is on playing a more critical role in filling the gaps in service. The foundation advocates for families living in Santa Barbara, Ventura and San Luis Obispo counties that have a child with cancer by providing financial, educational and emotional support. Ariya Ramos is typical of the children whose families receive this support. She is this year’s featured child of the 2021 Gold Ribbon Campaign. TBCF is sharing her uplifting story as a way of spreading positive light during this difficult time amidst a

global health crisis, according to a press release. In May 2018, 3-year-old Aryia complained of stomach pains. She stopped eating, couldn’t sleep and cried often. After numerous doctor visits, she wasn’t improving. Ariya’s mother asked for an ultrasound, and it was then that an abnormality on her liver was discovered. A CT scan revealed that Ariya had a softball-sized tumor in her stomach. This news came just three months after her parents had purchased their first home. Ariya’s family was sent from their home in Santa Maria to Children’s Hospital Los Angeles, where she was diagnosed with neuroblastoma, a form of childhood cancer. The family began their battle and spent the next six months undergoing chemotherapy in Los Angeles every three weeks. The emotional and physical stress of chemotherapy was difficult, in addition to the stress of traveling back and forth to L.A. every three weeks. Fortunately, doctors were able to remove 90% of Ariya’s tumor with resections,

but she lost most of one kidney. Brave Aryia endured two stem cell transplants, 12 days of radiation and six months of immunotherapy before celebrating her victory with an End-of-Chemo party in 2019. She is currently in maintenance and is a bright ball of energy. In 2020, she was able to share her light with TBCF’s kids’ support groups and at virtual events. During her treatment, bills piled up, and her parents were given $4,250 in direct financial assistance from TBCF to help alleviate some of their stress so that they could focus on Ariya’s care. Aryia received tutoring from TBCF and will be receiving another $1,500 of support to cover the cost of neuropsychological testing this fall. She is looking forward to starting first grade so that she can achieve her big dreams of becoming a paleontologist, veterinarian, nurse and doctor.

Diversions horoscope • puzzles

By Dave Green

ARIES (March 21-April 19): Watch out for the green-eyed monster today, Aries. It can rear up before you even say the word “jealousy” if you’re not on your guard. Many situations that cause this feeling are born of insecurity. If you aren’t secure in your job, relationship, or family, and feel threatened by someone else, it’s time to take a look at the reason. Look for answers rather than lash out. TAURUS (April 20-May 20): You may feel insecure about your appearance today, Taurus. This can be a vicious cycle, and the end result is almost always negative. Rather than picking yourself to pieces, find ways to accept your looks. Whether it’s your weight, age, or anything else, if you can’t accept yourself as you are, you’ll always find something wrong no matter how many changes you make. GEMINI (May 21-June 20): Jealousy might rear its head today, Gemini. The key to coping with it is to understand why you feel insecure. If you’re jealous of a partner, why is this? Is trust an issue? If this comes up at work, is it because you don’t feel recognized for your contributions? Examine the cause of jealousy. CANCER (June 21-July 22): Arts and crafts may hold your interest today, Cancer. Even if you lean more toward sports, an artistic streak likely runs pretty strong in you. Creating can be richly satisfying, both in the process and in the finished product. Allow yourself the opportunity to explore this part of you LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): Getting along with others may prove challenging today, Leo. The planetary aspects can have you isolating yourself. You might feel impatient and easily annoyed. If this is so, stay solo if you can. If you can’t, you’ll need to curb a tendency to be argumentative or confrontational. Exercise patience and bite your tongue if that’s what it takes. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): Don’t be surprised if you’re a little weepy today, Virgo. The day’s planetary influences could enhance your sensitivity to everything, including your Monday, November 16, 2015 feelings. Let yourself cry if you need to - it can be cleansing. Try not to wallow too much, as things

will look better tomorrow. Take good care of yourself today. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22):Obsessive thinking may be something you need to look at today, Libra. Common areas for such behaviors are in the pursuit of money, power, success, and romance. There’s a fine line between determination and obsession. If you fixate on the same thing day after day, it may be time to talk with someone about it. An expert can help you see what you don’t want to see. SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): Don’t act impulsively today, Scorpio. It can be easy to confuse this with spontaneity, but one has more thought in it than the other. Look before you leap! Think everything through from decisions to projects to contracts. Read the fine print more than once. When it comes to relationships, avoid trusting too quickly. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): Is it time to take a more drastic approach to solving a problem, Sagittarius? If you’ve made several attempts to resolve your trouble to no avail, it might be something to consider. As long as drastic doesn’t equate with destructive, you may find it works to try something more aggressive. Be careful. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): Tap into your creativity to unblock your emotions today, Capricorn. This can be a more powerful tool than you realize. Creativity is a big part of you almost as big as communication. Your emotions are linked to these, and all are interacting beneath the surface. If one is blocked, the key to releasing it is to focus on the other two. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19): You may need to deal with disapproval today, Aquarius. This will likely come from someone you see as a superior or authority figure, perhaps a parent or teacher. While it’s important to listen, if what they have to say involves your personal life and how you live it, it’s no one’s concern but yours. No matter what you do, someone will disapprove of something! PISCES (Feb.19-March 20): Taking time alone is essential for everyone, Pisces, but recognize when you’re isolating yourself to the point where it’s unhealthy. If you ask why you’re taking this time and answer because you’re avoiding something or someone, you need to reconsider.

Thought for Today

Codeword is a fun game with simple rules, and a great way to test your knowledge of the English language. 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.
