Supervisors reject cannabis findings

Vintners Association proposes Santa Barbara County Wine Preserve, local wineries oppose

The Santa Barbara County Board of Supervisors have rejected most of the findings and recommendations made in a County Grand Jury report critical of the board’s cannabis ordinance process.

The supervisors made their stance clear at Tuesday’s meeting by voting to send the presiding judge of the Santa Barbara County Superior Court a written response to the report.

Of the 12 findings the Grand Jury report makes, those most pointedly directed at the board included accusations that the board didn’t adequately consider the health and welfare of county residents when coming up with the cannabis ordinance. The findings also included that the board’s ad hoc committee for creating cannabis regulations wasn’t subject to the Brown Act and lacked transparency, and that the board was “overly

By GRAYCE MCCORMICK NEWS-PRESS STAFF WRITER

After two years of studying and meeting with vintners, stakeholders and county officials, the Board of Directors of the Santa Barbara Vintners Association proposed forming a new Wine Business Improvement District: the Santa Barbara County Wine Preserve.

The Preserve would be funded by a 1% assessment on Direct-toConsumer sales, in an effort to provide funding for Santa Barbara County wine, winery and vineyard promotions.

The fee would be charged on all DTC sales that incur state sales tax, including wine, tasting fees, merchandise, food, events and wine clubs. All county wineries and vineyards with DTC sales pay into the assessment, and they’ll be members of the new district without any membership dues.

The Wine Preserve is an attempt to compete with other wine countries in the state, such as Napa Valley, Sonoma and Paso Robles, and to get Santa Barbara County’s name on the map, according to supporters of the assessment. However, it has met intense opposition from a coalition of wineries.

Alison Laslett, CEO of the Santa Barbara Vintners, said the concept is borrowed from the hotel industry’s bed tax to raise funding for the promotion of their area.

“Now we’re looking at a landscape that is very full of festivals — beer festivals, wine festivals, spirit festivals … There’s a lot of competition for that particular space,” she told the News-Press. “What the Wine Preserve does is provide sustainable funding for the wine industry.”

The CEO said any wine region has difficulties getting established and getting people on the same page.

“One of the things Santa Barbara County wines struggles with is the wine itself is fantastic, but the county as a wine region

chummy” with cannabis industry professionals.

Save two findings regarding the county’s unverified affidavit system for legal cannabis growing, the board decided to reject the rest of the findings and only implement one recommendation, that the County Treasurer-Tax Collector be involved with the creation of future ordinances.

While quarantined away from the board chambers due to a member of his staff contracting COVID-19, 5th District Supervisor Steve Lavagnino took exception to the Grand Jury’s allegations that the board frequently met with cannabis industry lobbyists and kept the public in the dark about it. The reason being, he said, those lobbyists don’t exist.

“As far as I know we have zero registered lobbyists in Santa Barbara County. There are no lobbyists,” he stated.

Mr. Lavagnino added that the Please see cannabis on A9

is not as well-known as the reputation of the wine,” Ms. Laslett said. “So part of what we want to do is raise the recognition of the wine and educate people that they have a wine region within a stone’s throw of Los Angeles. It’s about explaining to the consumer that there are wines you can get here that are internationally competitive, available locally.”

The Vintners will enter a petition process, and need at least

51% of the industry in favor of the assessment for it to move forward.

From there, the proposal will go to all the city councils in the county, as well as the county Board of Supervisors, for approval.

“Our ambitious hope is the beginning of next year for implementation,” Ms. Laslett said.

Any BID requires all businesses within the specified industry to participate, and each city as well as the county will vote on joining the Wine Preserve. A third-party

accounting firm would collect the fee from the wineries and distribute it to the Wine Preserve, all confidentially.

Nicholas Miller is the VP of marketing and sales at The Thornhill Companies, and said having the Wine Preserve will create one unified voice for marketing.

Annmarie Rogers, visitor centers director, rarely takes a day off. She keeps the center open all but three days of the year, but she’ll soon learn to enjoy time off.

“I’m supposed to work 40 hours, but I work way more,” she said. “We’re only closed on Thanksgiving, Christmas and New Years Day.” Wednesday will be her last day as director. She plans on volunteering a lot during retirement, but she needs time to visit her mom in Sweden for a few weeks.

“In retirement, I hope she gets to enjoy time with family and loved ones and that she continues to have the joy she’s spread to so many people,” said Stephanie Armstrong, chief marketing officer of the Santa Barbara South Coast Chamber of Commerce.

Ms. Rogers is known for her smile and welcoming personality.

Solvang holds workshop about Copenhagen Drive

By JORGE MERCADO NEWS-PRESS STAFF WRITER

The city of Solvang’s new Brand and Design Committee hosted an in-person and virtual workshop Wednesday afternoon to discuss design options for Copenhagen Drive.

The street, which has been closed for the last few months due to the COVID-19 pandemic, was voted on by the city back on Sept.

14 to remain closed through Oct. 31, 2021. The city hopes the closure will continue helping curb the spread of the novel coronavirus, while also sustaining its local economy.

The original closure was, in part, to allow businesses to expand outdoors in order to help them comply with social distancing requirements. This helped the city increase its tourism rate during the pandemic.

The goal of Wednesday’s workshop was to hear public comments from the locals in order to help make future decisions.

Michael and Diane Braun, co-owners of Pebble People in Solvang, expressed their frustration of not being able to provide public comments during last week’s city council hearing on this issue.

“We’ve talked to several other businesses and we realized the city council came to the approval.

Keeping the closure going for another year without speaking to any of the businesses and so we just didn’t feel like that was right,” Ms. Braun said.

Others expressed their concerns with the design project itself.

David Rasmussen, who lives on Copenhagen Drive, said he thought the idea to close the street back in June was “a great thing.” He also shared that he was worried about Solvang losing its unique features.

“I’m concerned that we’re losing 55 parking places. I am concerned that we are losing our small town’s specialness and most of these walking streets are in larger cities and they are doing that to have something cozier. We have a cozy town and we should celebrate the architecture we have,” he said.

Most participants supported the concept of closing the street and

offered suggestions to improve the look of the closure while keeping the city’s small-town feel.

“I think we can do a better job of what we have for sure and make it look more inviting. We need consistency,” said Linda Johansen.

People also expressed concerns with pop-up canopies and large banners.

“Not only do they take away from the architecture, but also take away divisibility from signs from other shops, which is very troublesome… Anything that is big and out of code clashes with these guidelines and it takes away visibility from other businesses, which is very impactful particularly for shops that are smaller or away from the location between,” said Claudia Orona.

Rene Kaerskov, one of the members of the Branding and Design Committee, went through some of his ideas on Wednesday.

This included having street and sidewalk seating, green barriers that blend in with the trees on Copenhagen Drive and at least cohesive furniture, preferably all black so it blends.

He also encouraged having flowers and planters but with black pots, all the same color so it blends in with the asphalt.

He did note some issues with his own ideas, but said it was a starting

point.

“The city council can see all the different categories of what you’re recommending and get costs for those different items and figure out how much they want to spend or not spend,” shared a city staff member taking notes during the meeting.

Another committee member shared her experience visiting Santa Barbara and State Street and noted some of the issues she observed.

“I took a drive down there with my husband just to see how it all worked with the downtown closure and I spent almost no time there because there was not room for social distancing, and there was a significant lack of compliance and wearing masks,” she said.

“We want people to come here and feel that they can walk around and enjoy it and be safe.”

The committee agreed on the following list to be submitted for consideration to the city council: lighting, shading, street barriers, furniture, signage, seating enclosures or screens, and flower pots.

The items they do not want to see included enclosed walls, large banners, pop-up canopies and offsite signage. email: jmercado@newspress.com

Continued from Page A1 are synonymous here,” Ms. Armstrong said. “You can’t have one without the other. She always makes it really welcoming for whoever wants to be engaged to get involved.

“She’s one of the most welcoming people in the world.

I hope that can be continued on in the same way she’s done it for years.”

Ms. Rogers has even helped plan 50th anniversary parties and weddings when brides from out of state call needing advice.

“She makes people feel at home in another city,” Ms. Armstrong said.

Ms. Rogers loves Santa Barbara and it’s changed a lot during her time here. She said when she started, there was only one winery: Santa Barbara Winery. Now, wine is a big attraction for the visitors she sees everyday.

The main attractions stay

the same: Stearns Wharf, the courthouse, the Santa Barbara Mission and the beach. But she notices small changes all the time.

Just last year, the Chamber of Commerce opened a visitor center on State Street. She then had to split attention between two locations, as well as an information center at the airport.

Ms. Rogers often connects with colleagues through email. She loves them and said she tries to send an email update every day.

“Her emails are upbeat, and she’s always very complimentary,” Ms. Armstrong said. When she first started working at the chamber, she noticed Ms. Roger’s vibrant energy and positive, informationfilled emails.

“She’s also really great with our partners. Her enjoyment here in the community is part of why she’s so great at running it,” Ms. Armstrong said. “She wants everyone to enjoy the city the way she enjoys it.”

A February 2016 review on

TripAdvisor said: “It can get pretty crowded inside (take a big breath of that lovely sea air while you’re waiting), but the staff (especially Annmarie) really want to devote whatever time you need to make sure you enjoy lovely Santa Barbara.”

Ms. Rogers said she loves going to work everyday and greeting people from all over the world.

And she enjoys working with what the staff calls the “visitor center family.”

“Annmarie is very much like family and treats everyone as family as well,” Ms. Armstrong said. “We’re just grateful for her and will miss having her in her role, though she’ll still be in the community.”

One of her favorite parts of her job is setting up a booth when cruise ships come into port.

When cruises come through, she wants to volunteer and set up her table again. email: ahanshaw@newspress.org

He added that those opposed to the assessment fear it will turn customers away, but he doesn’t share that fear. “If people are buying a $30 to $60 bottle of wine, will they really care about those extra $3 to $6?�

Mr. Miller asked. “These things already exist in so many other sectors. It’s a proven model.�

Stephen Janes, president of the Santa Barbara Vintners Board of Directors, said more people need to be talking about the “rustic, elegant experience� in Santa Barbara County. “We’re making some of the best wine in the world right now.

We’re on the global stage. What’s crazy about this is that nobody knows that,� he told the NewsPress. “For the first time ever in Santa Barbara history, we could have very stable and consistent funding.�

Mr. Janes said because the county is “laid back,� it’s also independent-minded, which “breeds a lot of entrepreneurial spirit,� not to mention the fact that the county is fragmented geographically. He said that while those things are positives for the region, collaboration would be beneficial as well. “We don’t have a lot of unity,� he said. “Think about all the ancillary benefits that are going to happen for all the people who kind of feed off the wine industry.

Maybe there’s some short-term effect on the customers, but in the long run, there’s no doubt this will

Doug Margerum, owner of Margerum Wine Company, also supports the Wine Preserve to promote the countyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s unique nature. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Santa Barbaraâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s story is a really difficult story. We have so many wine regions within such a small county where we produce such different styles of wine,â&#x20AC;? he told the News-Press. â&#x20AC;&#x153;There are so many different microclimates and regions that we donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have a single, cohesive wine. We have a variety of wines from a variety of different producers. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This is a great, equitable and fair way to raise money and tell our story and I think itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s an important story to tell,â&#x20AC;? he continued. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t really tell it unless we have these kinds of promotional funds to work with.â&#x20AC;?

The Wine Preserve hasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t convinced the whole county yet, however.

An ad hoc group of wineries are joining together in opposition to the BID, and many say they will refuse to charge their consumers the 1% assessment.

Owners and winemakers from Beckmen Vineyards, Solminer Wine Company, Flying Goat Cellars, Longoria Wines and many more wrote a letter, obtained by the News-Press, to around 300 wineries on behalf of the coalition, outlining 10 reasons they disagree with the idea of implementing this 1% assessment. The letter is signed by more than 50 wineries already. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We agree that it is important that our wine industry support an organization whose mission is to promote, support and elevate our regionâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s wine by supporting its members, community and environment,â&#x20AC;? the letter states. â&#x20AC;&#x153;However this type of

The concept of the Wine Preserve was borrowed from hotels, which have a bed tax to raise funding to promote their area.

forced taxation is unfair and objectionable to those wineries that depend on their good relationship with their loyal customers. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We know you are all extremely busy during harvest but this proposal affects every winery in Santa Barbara no matter how small your production, whether you have a tasting room or not you will be assessed 1% of your total CA sales...So we need to hear from those who are concerned about the passing of this law so we can make our voices heard to the Board of Supervisors.â&#x20AC;?

The reasons these vintners oppose the BID include: â&#x20AC;&#x153;weighted vote is unfair and undemocraticâ&#x20AC;?; â&#x20AC;&#x153;larger wine industry players assessed on less of their total salesâ&#x20AC;?; â&#x20AC;&#x153;the BID law will restrict what the funding can be used forâ&#x20AC;?; â&#x20AC;&#x153;no accountabilityâ&#x20AC;?; â&#x20AC;&#x153;lack of majority supportâ&#x20AC;?; and â&#x20AC;&#x153;completely unproven and complicated funding structure,â&#x20AC;? among others. The full letter can be viewed on the coalitionâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s website, sbwinecountrycoalition. org.

David deLaski, owner of Solminer Wine Company and one of the authors of the letter, told the News-Press he believes the BID is, above all, unfair to the consumer. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Our customers in other parts of the states who buy online or sign up for our wine club remotely donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t deserve to be charged a fee â&#x20AC;&#x201D; they never stepped foot in Santa Barbara,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Our

customers, especially locals, who come to our tasting room are supporting us already; they donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t deserve to be charged extra fees to subsidize promoting tourism. The association says the customer wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t mind because itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s only 40 cents a bottle, but I think the whole concept is just unconscionable.â&#x20AC;?

Michael Roth, owner of Lo-Fi Wines, is also in opposition to the Wine Preserve. He told the NewsPress he does not want to be part of it. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I think itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a way for people to dig into the pockets of consumers without their knowing it. I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t think thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the way to fund an organization,â&#x20AC;? Mr. Roth said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;If they pass it, Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m not going to pay it.

I wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t take money out of peopleâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s pockets to fund this. If you come to Lo-Fi, you wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t get 1% taken out to give to this organization.â&#x20AC;?

He added, â&#x20AC;&#x153;I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t know how exactly theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re going to promote Santa Barbara County wine, but I think the best way is to make wine people want to drink and that will promote Santa Barbara County wine.â&#x20AC;?

The Management District Plan with the county will be finalized this month, beginning the petition drive and education that will occur throughout October. The vote that will decide the countyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s and cityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s participation in the BID will take place in November. email: gmccormick@newspress.com

Worlds apart

ene Lucas hasn’t seen his wife of over 40 years for almost eight months.

Mr. Lucas was previously UCSB’s executive vice chancellor for nearly four decades, and his wife, Susan (Sue) Lucas, is currently living with dementia in Villa Alamar of Santa Barbara.

The Goleta resident used to visit his wife around three times a week, but because of COVID19 restrictions on visiting the

immunocompromised, he has only been able to Zoom call Sue once a week, and there’s no telling when he will be able to see his wife next.

The two have known each other since junior high school in Downey, where they both grew up, and started “going steady” in the tenth grade.

The rest was history for the high school sweethearts.

Mr. Lucas got his nuclear engineering degree at UCSB, and Sue went to Cerritos Junior College where she got her AA in English, with a Spanish minor. She moved up to Santa Barbara and got her

Mr. Lucas’s high school sweetheart was in a coma for a week, moved to ICU for another week and transferred to Cottage Rehabilitation Hospital for another six weeks, “learning how to walk and talk and eat and breathe all over again.”

“She was discharged here at home, and I was her therapist,” Mr. Lucas told the News-Press. “I was her OT, her PT and her ST.” While therapists visited on a weekly basis for a couple hours during the day, Mr. Lucas was

his wife’s main caretaker, and the separation of the two when he needed to leave their home became worse and worse.

“I was totally unequipped to deal with somebody with dementia, let alone somebody who was doing brain recovery. That was on-thejob training,” Mr. Lucas said.

“She made a big deal about me leaving and it was very hard on the careperson when I was gone.”

He was then told he ought to look into placing her in a memory care facility, and decided on Villa Alamar.

Girlfriend’s stunning revelation

Continued from Page A5 Sue was diagnosed with dementia in November of the year she fell, and brain scans showed her brain had atrophied after she was transferred to Villa Alamar.

She suffers from the process of recovering from her traumatic brain injury and her dementia overlapping.

Sue has been at Villa Alamar for around three and a half years now. While Mr. Lucas calls her over Zoom once a week, he said maybe one out of four times she’ll actually be awake. At this stage of the game, he said, she sleeps most of the time.

“She still recognizes me. She doesn’t say much -- I do all the talking,” Mr. Lucas continued. “I still show her pictures over Zoom, family photos I’ve digitized. I can usually get a smile out of her. I tell her I love her and she’ll say it back to me.”

However, Mr. Lucas said right now, Sue is eating less and less, and “that’s often the end of the road as they stop eating, and that would be a blessing for her.”

“What does she have to look forward to? Laying in bed every day until she passes away, which is not great. I’ve kind of made my peace that she’s gone,” he said.

“Back when I was taking care of her with dementia, it was pretty clear I’d lost my wife at that time and she wasn’t going to recover.”

Mr. Lucas joined an Alzheimer’s support group about a year before he placed Sue in the memory care facility, something he said really taught him how to care for somebody, learning from those who had been doing it for years.

For Mr. Lucas, the support group was a “life saver.”

“It’s a long, slow grief process with someone with dementia,” he said. “My advice to people who have just discovered their loved one is in early stages of dementia is to get connected with the Alzheimer’s Association and get educated.”

RAFAEL MALDONADO/NEWS-PRESS

Gene Lucas, previously the executive vice chancellor at UCSB for nearly four decades, has been separated from his wife, Sue, for almost eight months due to COVID-19, as she currently lives with dementia in Villa Alamar of Santa Barbara.

Mr. Lucas cited resources such as classes, online presentations and books about caring for individuals with Alzheimer’s.

“The second recommendation is don’t read too far ahead,” he added. “Read the parts that are relevant to you today. If you read too far ahead, you get depressed and un-useful information. It’s useful later on, but not at the stage you’re in.”

As far as coping with separation amid COVID-19, Mr. Lucas said to stay in touch with friends and family.

“For people that are going through hard times, the more they can contact friends and family, even by phone, email or texting and staying in contact with people -- I think that’s the best medicine at this point,” he said. “It’s too easy to become a hermit.”

As he copes, Mr. Lucas now focuses on providing advice to support-group members who are just beginning their caretaking journey; raising money and awareness for the Alzheimer’s

Association; and simply reflecting on the fond memories he and Sue had together.

From camping trips to hiking 60 miles through Italy to going on a safari in Africa where he said he remembers vividly he and Sue standing with their heads out of the top of their vehicle just watching 30 giraffes roll by and eat in the treetops, Mr. Lucas has plenty to reminisce about his “lovely, social” travel companion and life companion.

Lindsey Leonard is the executive director of the Alzheimer’s Association California Central Coast Chapter, which is projected to serve about 3,000 families.

“Our mission to support those affected by Alzheimer’s and other dementia has always been important, but it has become even more critical during these times of COVID-19,” she told the News-Press. “We’ve additionally witnessed the increased difficulties of caregivers being isolated at home -- or even more heartbreaking -- separated from their loved ones that live in care facilities. We are committed to providing continued support through virtual platforms and encouraging people to get involved in our upcoming Walk to End Alzheimer’s, which allows us to continue offering cost-free programs and advance critical research toward methods of treatment and prevention.”

Mr. Lucas has a team in the Walk to End Alzheimer’s. His team’s goal is $10,000, and his personal goal is $6,000.

If there is a rape treatment center near where you live, reach out to it for help. If there isn’t, and you can’t afford private counseling, contact the county department of mental health and ask to talk to a licensed psychotherapist.

ARIES â&#x20AC;&#x201D; The time is right for all things financial, Aries. If youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve been thinking of signing a contract to accept a job or purchase a piece of property, go ahead. Strategize ways in which you can be even more financially successful in the future. You have a lot of skills, but you donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t always apply them as carefully as you could. Correct this and youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll be unstoppable!

TAURUS â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Expect to get some useful financial information today, Taurus. You may learn about a new investment, or perhaps youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll get wind of a job opening thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s right up your alley. This is a good day to consider an alternate life path.

Although thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s nothing wrong with the one youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re on, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s always good to consider other roads.

GEMINI â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Expect your romantic relationship to be better than ever today, Gemini. Youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re communicating well and in touch with one anotherâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s feelings. How wonderful to be able to maintain an inspiring, rewarding bond with someone who loves you. There is much to be grateful for. This could be a good time to take your relationship to the next level. Your partner wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t mind discussing this.

CANCER â&#x20AC;&#x201D; This could be a banner day, Cancer. Your spiritual and career goals come together so both are enhanced, and neither is compromised. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a neat trick.

You can expect the opportunity to practice what you preach to come to you through a friend or colleague. Donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t discount any ideas presented to you, as one will contain the key to meshing two of the most important parts of your life.

LEO â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Be your most charming self tonight, Leo. Youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re likely to talk with someone who can help your career. Your intuition is strong, so you may know who this person is the minute you begin your conversation. If the chemistry is good, too, so much the better!

Whether this person impacts your life in a romantic or business capacity, youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll remember this night as when your life changed for the better!

VIRGO â&#x20AC;&#x201D; You have an introspective nature, Virgo. For the last few weeks, youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve been reflecting on and assessing what does and doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t work in your life. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s likely that youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re ready for some kind of major change. Either your relationship is in a rut or you need a complete career overhaul.

Follow your instincts as you plan how to develop and grow from here. You are your own best guide. +*#!2 +1$)"$ LIBRA â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re ready for

CODEWORD PUZZLE %\ 'DYH *UHHQ

HOROSCOPE something new and different, Libra. What better time than during the current transits to put into practice what has only been a dream? You may decide to work for yourself or ditch one relationship in favor of another. You want the changes you implement to be brash and far-reaching! If not, you may have to wait a long time to feel this energetic and optimistic again.

SCORPIO â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll do some serious soul searching today.

Which goals have you achieved and which ones have gone unattained?

Be honest as you reflect on past months. Could you have done things differently? Would you like to do things differently in the future? Youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d be well advised to write down your successes and regrets. Use the list to keep you on track. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s bound to be a great help to you.

SAGITTARIUS â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Today youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll realize that a clean slate brings with it the chance for a new beginning. You feel excited and optimistic about the future. Your goals are clear, and your mind is sharp. How can you not succeed?

Take care not to let your fantasies run away with you. Keep your eyes on your attainable goals rather than waste time and energy chasing pipe dreams.

CAPRICORN â&#x20AC;&#x201D; You may be ready for some major career changes, Capricorn. You could be fed up with the stress and long hours of the corporate environment. Surely in this age of technology thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a way to spend more time at home without sacrificing the quality of your work. Think about it for a few days. If you propose a feasible alternative to your boss, the positive response may surprise you.

AQUARIUS â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Your intuition is working overtime today, Aquarius, making you sensitive to othersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; deepest emotions. It may be that the celestial atmosphere has everyone feeling open and honest, eager to grow into his or her most authentic self. Certainly, thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s how you feel. Take some time out of your busy schedule to reflect on your regrets and successes. Be as true to yourself as possible.

PISCES â&#x20AC;&#x201D; No pressure, Pisces, but as things are now, you might want to evaluate your career. Is it working out well? What are your latest achievements? What goals havenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t been reached? If the answers arenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t satisfactory, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s time to make some dramatic changes. If your work doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t make your heart sing, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s time to find some that does. Life isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t a dress rehearsal. Get going!

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

Everyâ&#x20AC;Żnumber in the codeword grid is â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;codeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; 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.

Cannabis odor impacts remain an issue cannabis

Continued from Page A1

Grand Jury is confusing lobbyists with â&#x20AC;&#x153;somebody that cares about an issue thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s coming in to speak to one of us,â&#x20AC;? people he spends his â&#x20AC;&#x153;entire dayâ&#x20AC;? talking to.

In an interview with the NewsPress, 1st District supervisor Das Williams said that individuals from both sides of the marijuana argument had unimpeded access to him and his colleagues, not just the pro-cannabis side. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t think the Grand Jury really looked at how often we met with people on the other side of the debate,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I met with them quite often and I believe other supervisors met with them as well.â&#x20AC;?

As for the allegation that developing the cannabis ordinance through an ad hoc committee lacked transparency, Mr. Williams said the ad hoc committee is â&#x20AC;&#x153;the least bad way to draft an ordinanceâ&#x20AC;? in timesensitive situations.

Other options are to have staff draft an entire ordinance or do it entirely before the board, but the former runs the risk of the board disliking the ordinance and in one fell swoop, shooting down months, if not years, of staff work. The latter, as Mr. Williams said, â&#x20AC;&#x153;takes

eonsâ&#x20AC;? to get done.

Despite his disagreements about most of the Grand Juryâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s findings, Mr. Williams does agree with its finding that cannabis odor impacts remain an issue.

Under the cannabis ordinance, if a cannabis business operator produces odor that is detectible to the surrounding neighbors three times, then the county can step in and take corrective action. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I continue to want the county to litigate against folks who have not adequately addressed odor control,â&#x20AC;? he said.

Though he wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t on the board when the cannabis ordinance was drafted, 2nd District supervisor and board chair Gregg Hart remarked that the Grand Jury failed to mention the recent cannabis mitigation actions the board has taken to address some of the problems cited in the report. These include enacting a cap on cannabis production in Santa Barbara County and eliminating land zoned AG-1 under 20 acres a parcel from being eligible for cannabis cultivation. â&#x20AC;&#x153;A lot of the issues that the Grand Jury raised about policy and planning are changing and I have been supportive of that,â&#x20AC;? he said. email: jgrega@newspress.com

Input sought on transportation plan SANTA MARIA â&#x20AC;&#x201D; The city of Santa Maria is encouraging public comments about Active Santa Maria, a guide for building a bicycle and pedestrian network that will provide safe, affordable and accessible transportation alternatives for residents.

The cityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s draft Active Transportation Plan will help the city prioritize short-term projects and brainstorm longer-term projects.

Active Santa Maria aims to encourage physical activity as part of everyday travel, develop

a network of streets, trails and paths where biking and walking is safe and convenient, support the cityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s goals for clean air and healthy communities and promote a sustainable and equitable community.

The plan is posted online at www.activesantamaria.com.

Redistricting drawing moved up The date of the random drawing of redistricting commissioners moved up one week to Oct. 13, where the County District Attorney will pick five commissioners from the qualified applicants divided into sub-pools representing each of the five supervisorial districts.

Nearly 200 county residents applied to serve on the County of Santa Barbara Citizensâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; Independent Redistricting Commission.

The most qualified applicants are posted online for public review and comment before the drawing, where one commissioner from each of the five district sub-pools will be drawn.

After the drawing, the five

randomly selected commissioners will meet in late October and early November to select finalists from the remaining applicants, who must receive the vote of at least four of the five commissioners.

There will be a public hearing to allow for public comment and the final appointment of six commissioners, one from each district and one at-large member.

Part of the Central Coast Data Science Partnership, sponsored by the National Science Foundation, students will learn the underlying principles of data science, which will include data-generating processes and the role of measurement, ethics and privacy, information-processing tools and the communication skills needed to pursue a professional career in the field, according to a news release.

The partnership includes UCSB, Cal Poly, and Cal State Bernardino. â&#x20AC;&#x153;In the next 10 years, data science and software will do more for medicine than all of the biological sciences together,â&#x20AC;? said project co-founder Vinod Khosla, of Sun Microsystems.

SBCCâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s part in the project is to initiate a pathway that facilitates community college student transfer, participation and success in the field of data science. The goal is to offer a transferable course to UCSB and other fouryear institutions. Computer Science department chair Nathalie

Guebels is working on curriculum development for such a course to be offered beginning fall 2021 or spring 2022. â&#x20AC;&#x153;With data science becoming more and more prominent as a new field of study with many job opportunities, I am thrilled that SBCC is part of this unique partnership, which will open new doors for community college students,â&#x20AC;? Ms. Guebels said in a statement.

Ms. Guebels and Student Program Advisor Janna Mori are in the process of planning a data science virtual event this fall, where UCSB and Cal Poly student fellows will meet with City College students about the data science major and share their experiences at a four-year institution.

Next summer, SBCC students will have the chance to apply for a summer immersive data science program at UCSB. For the 202122 academic year, the fellowships at UCSB will also consider applications from incoming transfer students.

Former Gaucho Peter Maris now plays baseball’s waiting game

By MARK PATTON NEWS-PRESS SENIOR WRITER

Peter Maris III spent his summer like many red-blooded American boys, playing catch with Dad while dreaming of a future in Major League Baseball.

But few got as close to a wakeup call.

The former UCSB infielder — undrafted as a senior in 2015 and unwanted by the Tampa Bay Rays after elbow surgery in 2018 — has his number on the speed dial of the San Francisco Giants.

“They told me to stay ready and stay a phone call away,” said Maris, who had a pivotal summer of minor league baseball canceled by the COVID-19 pandemic.

While the Giants battle this week for one of the final spots in the National League playoffs, Pete III repeats his game of catch with Pete II in Laguna Niguel.

Maris was a boy when his father, who once played middle infield for Cal Poly Pomona, switched him into a left-handed batter.

“We would go out in the rain sometimes and take ground balls,” he recalled. “He would just show me his ways.

“My dad has been my biggest partner in this whole thing. We play catch every day and go down to this facility and hit in the cage.

And then I work out, get after it, do some conditioning… That’s pretty much my day, every day except Sunday.”

Maris’ hopes were high in February when he reported to the Giants’ Major League camp in Scottsdale. He got four plate appearances with the big-league club before the coronavirus shut

down all spring training.

His final at-bat of 2019 had been a home run for the Sacramento River Cats in their 4-0 victory over Columbus at the Triple-A Championship game in Memphis.

“I turned 26 the day before, and I believe I heard some birthday chants as I ran around the bases,” Maris recalled. “We were playing against the team of another Gaucho, Kyle Nelson… I’m actually glad I didn’t bat again in that game because I would have had to hit against Nelly, and he was pitching really well.

“We got to hang out and socialize after the game… It was a lot of fun.”

Nelson, Maris’ teammate in 2015 when UCSB was one of 16 top seeds for the NCAA Regionals, has spent most of his summer training at the Cleveland Indians’ alternate site. He was called up for a week and even pitched in a game against Kansas City earlier this month.

But Maris wasn’t among the extra players that the Giants kept at their own alternate site.

“I’ve had some ups and downs, and it’s a challenge,” said Maris, who turned 27 last week. “It’s a grind… But I love every part of it.

I’ve been an underdog my whole life… Undrafted… I’ve got a chip on my shoulder and it makes me work even harder.

“I’m almost there, so let’s see what happens.”

He played every infield position but first base at UCSB, starting at shortstop as a junior and at third as a senior. His 21-game hitting streak in 2015 was the longest of any Gaucho that season and he ended up batting .294.

during the ensuing MLB Amateur Draft but he got several freeagent offers later that week. He signed with Tampa Bay and has since played in 406 minor-league games, batting .268 over the course of five seasons.

The 5-foot-10 infielder has stood tallest while on the biggest

of stages. He rapped an RBI single against Detroit at Major League spring training in 2018 and followed it up the next day with a three-run home run against the New York Yankees.

“That home run was awesome because it was on TV and all my family was watching back home,”

Day to play for two titles today at invite

By MARK PATTON Kayla Day will get a good workout at her old stomping grounds today, playing for both the singles and doubles championships at the $25,000 Central Coast Home Health and Hospice Women’s Pro Invitational.

Day, who swept Irvine’s Anne Lutkemeyer 6-1, 6-1 in Thursday’s semifinals, will face UCSB recruit Camille Kiss in today’s 11 a.m. singles final at the Santa Barbara Tennis Club.

Kiss, an incoming Gaucho freshman from Redlands, upset WTA pro Sophia Whittle 6-1, 6-3 in Thursday’s other singles semifinal.

Day also advanced to today’s 1 p.m. doubles final with Whittle after beating UCSB’s Marta Baalbe and Kira Reuter 7-6, 6-1 in Thursday’s semifinals. They will play WTA pros Lorraine Guillermo and Shatoo Mohamad, who beat Kiss and Gaucho teammate Lise Sentenac 6-4, 6-0 in the other semifinal.

Former Gaucho gets HOF nod

Lin Loring, who both played and coached tennis at UCSB, has been selected for induction

into the Intercollegiate Tennis Association Women’s Tennis Hall of Fame.

Loring retired from Indiana University in 2017 with an NCAA Division 1 record 846 victories in 44 seasons. He earned 42 of those wins at UCSB and 804 more after arriving at Indiana in 1977.

“This award is special because it comes from your peers, the people you coached against for so many years,” Loring said.

“It is really a tribute to all the wonderful young ladies I coached over the years.”

He won 16 Big Ten championships and 28 national tournament appearances. He also won the 1982 AIAW National Championship, the precursor to the NCAA Championship.

He was twice named National Coach of the Year and also earned Big Ten Coach of the Year honors five times.

Loring, who graduated from UCSB in 1972, follows his former Gaucho teammate, Greg Patton, into the ITA Hall of Fame.

Patton earned induction last year after retiring as the men’s coach at Boise State with 808 wins — most of any active coach at the time and the fourth-most in NCAA history. He coached for 37 seasons with stints at UCSB, Cal State Bakersfield, UC Irvine and Boise State.

WATHNE, Sigurd R.

Date of Birth - October 3, 1926 Date of Death - September 7, 2020

“Sig” passed away peacefully in his sleep at his home in Santa Barbara, California, on the evening of September 7, 2020.

A retired Electrical Engineer, Sig was known as a family man, community volunteer and co-founder of Sikama International, Inc., which he and his son Kail started in the family’s garage in 1982. Everyone liked to ask Sig about how they chose the name Sikama, which sounds like it has Japanese origins but it does not. He would proudly inform them that the name resulted from a clever combination of two letters taken from each of the three names of Sig, Kail and Mariellen (his wife), or Si-Ka-Ma. Sig came from a strong Norwegian heritage of both parents but was actually born in Los Angeles, CA and thus had dual citizenship. His family moved back to Mandal in Norway in 1933 during the Great Depression in order to find an easier life with family relatives. He survived the Nazi occupation of Norway during WWII, and as a young lad got his start in radio operation and served in the Norwegian Merchant Marines as a radio officer. He eventually made his way back to the states where he later met and married Mariellen—the love of his life—in California, with his career advancing in the direction of the radio electronics industry. Later they settled in Santa Barbara and together raised 2 boys, Kail and Jarl, while Sig worked with various companies in the industry, eventually breaking out on his own with Kail.

After enjoying the challenges of running a family business in the hybrid microelectronics industry for 32 years, serving as the President and CEO of Sikama, Sig officially retired in 2014 at the age of 88. Sig was also a Rotarian of 38 years and served on various Rotary, Elks, and Water boards throughout the community. He was a long time Ham Radio Operator and member of the local Amateur Radio Club. His grandsons have fond memories of their Grandpa Sig helping them build crystal radio sets and also how he magically transformed into being the perfect Santa Claus during Christmas time—when he volunteered to suit up in red and white with his dashing white hair and beard.

Sig thoroughly enjoyed his family, participating in the Boy Scouts and the Seashells with his sons and later hosting many barbeques and pool parties not only for his local grandchildren, but visiting nieces and nephews from Norway with their families. He was immensely proud of starting a business with Kail and with Jarl becoming a ENT doctor with a successful medical practice back east. He went on to write a book he called “Sig” and dedicated it to Mariellen, in celebration of their life together and 60 years of marriage.

Sig is preceded in death by Mariellen (2010). He is survived by his two sons Kail (Lori) Wathne and Dr. Jarl Wathne and grandsons Reese, Curtis and Garrett Wathne; and his brother Carl in Norway along with his many nieces and nephews and their children.

Because of Covid-19, no memorial is planned at this time.

UCSB’s Danae Miller was picked for an NCAA Engagement Group.

The 2021 Women’s Hall of Fame class will be inducted in a ceremony on Sept. 18 of next year. Joining Loring in induction will be Diane Donnelly Stone, AnnaMaria Fernandez-Ruffels and Lisa Spain Short.

The ceremony will also honor the life of Millie West, the former chair and curator of the Hall of Fame.

stick me in the big leagues.”

Zaidi also favors players with a keen batting eye. Maris satisfied that prerequisite with a strikeout ratio of just 14.0% and a walk ratio of 11.2%.

When his rehab ended last year, the Giants sent him to Single-A San Jose, then Double-A Richmond, and finally to Triple-A Sacramento — for a few more home-run trots across the big stage.

The River Cats were facing elimination in the Pacific Coast League championship series against Las Vegas when he was summoned to replace Levi Michael, who had been ejected for arguing balls and strikes. Maris responded with a ninth-inning homer that gave Sacramento its final margin in a 5-3 victory.

His homer the next week in the Triple-A Championship Game served as the final stroke of a masterful comeback.

“I do like to flirt with the power a little bit,” Maris said with a smile, “even though I am a little small guy.”

He figures the stakes are bigger now even though he is on a team of just two.

“We’re trying to make it as competitive as we can,” he said of his workouts with Dad. “We use the pitching machine and crank it up as high as it’ll go so I can see some velo and stay ready.

“It’s kind of hard to face real pitching because of the quarantine, but I’m trying to make the most of it.”

The waiting game is the only kind he can play right now. email: mpatton@newspress.com

Maris said. “I was trying to get the ball out and it happened to go over the fence.”

He batted .277 with 11 homers that summer while splitting 71 games between Single-A Charlotte and Double-A Montgomery. The Rays, however, declined to protect him after he underwent Tommy John surgery on his elbow in August.

“I actually started the rehab process with them before they let me go back to school and finish up the rehab in Goleta,” said Maris, who earned his UCSB degree during this offseason. “I got to use the facilities at UCSB and it worked out perfectly.”

That became especially true with the Giants’ organization in need of infielders. They selected him that December in the Rule 5 Draft.

“I knew that as a five-year player, that was my Rule 5 eligibility year,” Maris said. “I just didn’t know all the rules involved with it. It was way too much information. I just wanted to play.”

His strengths did check off several of the boxes on the wish list of Farhan Zaidi, the Giants’ President of Baseball Operations.

Zaidi likes versatility, and that’s been Peter III’s nickname throughout a minor-league career that has featured 118 games at shortstop, 116 at second, 104 at third, 11 in the outfield and even two as an emergency pitcher for Charlotte in 2017.

“You see that now in lineups every night in the Major Leagues, with guys playing different positions,” Maris said. “I really don’t want to play outfield again — that’s how I hurt my arm — but I won’t mind if that’s where they

guard on the UCSB women’s basketball team, has been selected to the newly formed NCAA Division I Women’s Basketball Student-Athlete Engagement Group.

An NCAA release describes the group as an amplifying voice for women’s basketball on key initiatives, legislation and various issues. It was formed in collaboration with the Women’s Basketball Coaches Association and will have a direct connection to the NCAA Division I StudentAthlete Advisory Committee.

The group consists of current NCAA Division I women’s basketball student-athletes from all 32 conferences.

Miller is a two-time All-Big West Conference selection, earning second-team honors as a sophomore and honorable mention last year. She played the most league minutes of any Big West student-athlete last year.

Her 72 assists were the secondmost in conference and she was also 10th in scoring average at 13.3 points per game.

Her last-second basket at Hawaii on March 4 earned UCSB the No. 2 seed for the Big West Tournament — an event that was canceled by the COVID-19 pandemic. email: mpatton@newspress.com
