Viewpoints on Teen Talk vary

SB Unified school board candidates

Community members differ on new sex ed lessons

A look at the candidates’ campaign points By ANNELISE HANSHAW NEWS-PRESS STAFF WRITER

The Santa Barbara Unified School District school board has three openings up for the Nov. 3 election. All three incumbents are running for reelection to regain their spots. Recent board meetings have brought a slew of public commenters, some advocating for an overturning of the board. Community members have chimed in with their support for the incumbents’ challengers. Here are the six candidates:

By ANNELISE HANSHAW NEWS-PRESS STAFF WRITER

It’s hard to argue about children’s reading lessons in school, but what about sex education? Parents, students, community members and a local school district board all say they want the best for students, but their idea of an adequate curriculum varies. The California Healthy Youth Act mandates that districts teach comprehensive sex ed but lets them choose among compliant curricula. Santa Barbara Unified chose Teen Talk, a program by a nonprofit called Health Connected. Opponents of this recommend the Health Education and Relationship Training curriculum. Two outspoken adversaries of the board’s decision, Barbara Batastini and Janeth Mendoza, sat down with the News-Press to share their views. District officials and

advocates of the curriculum gave their rationale as well. Parents have the right to opt out of the sex ed program, so here’s why they should or shouldn’t enroll, according to people interviewed by the News-Press and comments made at school board meetings. FAMILY VALUES “I feel like now the school district is taking and putting parents on the side and trying to teach children things that my family doesn’t value,” Mrs. Mendoza, mother of SB Unified students, said. “I feel like they’re trying to take away my rights as a parent.” She and Mrs. Batastini expressed concern that the lessons don’t align with the community’s values. “The law is very clear that to the biggest, widest, grandest extent possible, you stay away from values because everyone obviously has different values,” board member

Kate Ford said. “The CHYA is very clear to stay away from value-driven curriculum, and the HEART curriculum is very valuedriven.” She also pointed out that Teen Talk has interactive discussions for young people to approach their parents. According to the copy of the curriculum at the district office, there’s an activity where students look at their family’s values and think about their personal view of sex. During the Sept. 8 board meeting, Miki Hammel complained that Teen Talk promotes secular humanism and encourages premarital sex and that “it goes against the religious values of our community.” PLANNED PARENTHOOD Mrs. Batastini expressed concern for Planned Parenthood’s involvement in sex ed. She pointed out that when candidates apply

for endorsement from Planned Parenthood’s Central Coast Action Fund, the application asks if candidates support comprehensive sexual education. Abi Karlin-Resnick, the executive director of Health Connected, said Planned Parenthood didn’t have input in the Teen Talk curriculum but is listed as a resource. “We’re aligned with Planned Parenthood in their belief that comprehensive sexuality education should be provided. But there’s really no connection beyond networking at events,” she said. Sara Thurman, a nurse practitioner for Planned Parenthood Central Coast and mom of SB Unified students, hadn’t read the Teen Talk curriculum in depth but looked at an overview of the lessons. She is an advocate for comprehensive sexual health education. Please see viewpoints on A7

Local Republicans, Democrats sound off on VP debate By JOSH GREGA NEWS-PRESS STAFF WRITER

Whereas Santa Barbara Republicans and Democrats were by and large united in disappointment with the first presidential debate between President Donald Trump and former Vice President Joe Biden, they’ve gone back to being of divided opinion regarding Wednesday night’s vice presidential debate between Vice President Mike Pence and Sen. Kamala Harris, D-California. Predictably, Democrats and Republicans who spoke to the News-Press about the event handed out plaudits and criticisms of the two vice presidential candidates along

party lines. Santa Barbara Democratic Party south vice chair David Atkins accused Mr. Pence of repeatedly dodging every question leveled at him and was unable to justify the Trump administration’s performance in responding to the COVID-19 pandemic. By contrast, he praised Sen. Harris for comporting herself well when the vice president talked over her. “I thought that Sen. Harris showed incredible grace when faced with yet another man who would not let her speak and repeatedly talked over her,” he said. Please see debate on A8

Brian Campbell A father of two students, Brian Campbell has been involved with the district through the Parent Teacher Organization, chairing Science Night, teaching science and other volunteer positions. Now, he hopes to gain a position on the school board. He ran for City Council last year after seeing a need for more security at local schools but lost to Mike Jordan. “Children, their education and their safety are a top priority for me. I live my life for my children, and I firmly believe that children are our future and must be protected and guided,” he said on his website, brian4schoolboard. com.

Who’s running for Goleta City Council? By GRAYCE MCCORMICK NEWS-PRESS STAFF WRITER

With 24 more days left to vote, the five candidates running for Goleta City Council are ramping up their campaign platforms and sharing the ways they want to improve the city of Goleta. Two of the five running are incumbents, and the others include an automotive services manager, a business account executive and a writer. Justin Shores, the automotive services manager, says his experience in customer service and business management has prepared him to hold a seat on the council. Mr. Shores was raised by a single mother, and his father defeated homelessness, which he says gives him a unique perspective on underprivileged members of the community. In addition, he has firsthand experience of the immigration process, as he and his wife, Yazmin, applied for a fiance Visa and she had to wait in Mexico in order to get married. The candidate calls for renegotiation with Santa Barbara County to end Revenue Neutrality, referencing the nearly $110 million Goleta has paid as a result of this agreement. He also would vote against the recent tax increase until the Revenue Neutrality Agreement is ended. Mr. Shores supports small businesses and start-ups, keeping the senior care facilities protected during COVID-19,

cleaning up trash and debris and recognizing law enforcement’s service. He was one of the organizers of the “Back the Blue” rally held in July, as previously reported by the News-Press. Blanche “Grace” M. Wallace, known to everyone as Grace, is running for Goleta City Council as a mother, grandmother, small business owner and volunteer, which she says gives her understanding of balancing family, work and community. Ms. Wallace served as chair of Love Your City Clean-up for the Goleta Old Town Community Association, and she encourages neighborhood involvement. Her main focuses are maintaining parks and open spaces, providing for public safety, controlling development and supporting local businesses. She previously owned Sweetheart Crafts & Floral, a small business she founded in Utah, which she says gives her empathy for the small businesses during the pandemic. On the city council, Ms. Wallace would push to completely reopen all businesses and empower neighborhoods to establish a Community Participation Program to motivate residents to maintain their neighborhoods. The final non-incumbent on the ballet is Bruce Wallach, a community volunteer and writer. He ran for the Goleta Water Board in 2010, but was unsuccessful. Please see council on A7

UCSB researchers predict fisheries’ impact on schooling fish

Casting a wide net

By ANNELISE HANSHAW NEWS-PRESS STAFF WRITER

A

n anchovy pizza relies not just on the chef preparing it (and the eater’s taste buds) but also the habits of the

fish. Fisheries rely on anchovies and other species congregating in schools in order to economically catch fish. In fact, catching a school in a large net is a lot easier than reeling them in one by one. UCSB doctoral candidate Ana Sofia Guerra was interested in schooling fish for a long time before deciding to research it. She talked to Dr. Andrew Berdahl at the University of Washington, Dr. Albert Kao at the Santa Fe Institute and Dr. Douglas McCauley at UCSB. The conversation launched a new project. The team created a theoretical evolutionary model to predict whether industrial fishing practices will cause fish to evolve into a less social population. “It’s important to note that our paper is a theoretical model, we show that this is something that could potentially happen, or perhaps is already happening,� Ms. Guerra said. In the model, as humans capture schools, the fish become less likely to form large groups. She hopes the research can be assessed in the field. “If we find that this change is indeed happening, that fish are less inclined to form large schools and instead form smaller and smaller schools, then that could be the end of those fisheries and the livelihoods that depend on them,� she said. “It would become inefficient and far too costly to continue the fishery.� The catch of the day could be a lot more expensive as generations of fish become more isolated. “Think about where your food comes from,� she said. “Ultimately, it comes down to how much effort and funds are directed towards better managing fisheries, and that comes down to where your vote is cast and which policies are supported and prioritized.� She recommends looking at resources like the Monterey Bay Aquarium’s Seafood Watch guide. “If you live by or near the coast, find out about fisheries in your area and if they’re a sustainable option,� she said. “If so, shop local. Maybe there’s a seafood market you can go to or a communitysupported fishery subscription service.� While the overall consequences are unknown, scientists can still predict a few effects of isolated fish. Animals like the humpback whale feed on schools — some almost exclusively. “It’s a pretty amazing sight. These whales will surround a school of herring by blowing a bubble net around them and then lunging through the center of their makeshift net to capture the fish,� Ms. Guerra said. “But at the crux of this feeding strategy is that it relies on fish forming schools.� And it’s not just whales. “In the open ocean, some seabirds and predatory fish such as tuna also feed on schooling fish, so the disappearance of these schools would mean that a main source of food for a lot of wildlife would be gone,� she said. The results of the problem would be hard to reverse. “We don’t know if this is happening out there in the ocean, that fish are losing that tendency to form big schools due to industrial fishing practices, but our model shows that it could,� she said. “Unless we dedicate specific effort towards finding out if this is indeed happening, it will be difficult to detect through catch data.� While the situation is hypothetical, Ms. Guerra and her co-researchers created a model to better predict fish behavior. It was published in the Sept. 30 publication of Proceedings of the Royal Society B: Biological Sciences. email: ahanshaw@newspress.com

By MARILYN MCMAHON NEWS-PRESS STAFF WRITER

‘R

ace to Justice,” a year-long series to expand an understanding of racism and how race impacts society and to inspire an expansive approach to advancing racial equality, will be offered by UCSB Arts & Lectures. “As a nation, we are confronting evidence of inequality that reaches every corner of society, from education, to the criminal justice system, to everyday life,” said Celesta M. Billeci, Miller McCune executive director of Arts & Lectures. “Arts & Lectures has a history of bringing complex issues to the forefront. Now we are spearheading an in-depth look at systemic racism from every angle, including abolition, underlying conditions, reparations, criminal justice and more.” Live and digital events with participation from multiple UCSB and community partners will take place from October through January with additional events to be announced. The schedule includes the following: — “How to Be an Antiracist”: Dr. Ibram X. Kendi, book’s author, at 5 p.m. Oct. 19. Moderated by Dr. Jeffrey C. Stewart, 2019 Pulitzer Prize-winning author of “The New Negro.” — “A Knock at Midnight”: Brittany K. Barnett, attorney and advocate for criminal justice reform, at 5 p.m. Oct. 27. — “there is no Other”: Sunday brunch concert with musician, historian, writer and podcaster Rhiannon Giddens with Francesco Turrisi at 11 a.m. Nov. 15. — “John Lewis: Good Trouble”: Film screening and Q&A with filmmaker Dawn Porter at 5 p.m.

FYI The “Race to Justice” series is a mix of virtual and live events. Live events begin in February and include: Jazz at Lincoln Center Orchestra with Wynton Marsalis, Feb. 3; Alvin Ailey American Dance Theater, April 13 and 14; Bryan Stevenson, April 30; and Jon Batiste, May 22. Additional events will be announced throughout the season. (See A&L’s 2020-2021 Season FAQs regarding live events.) For more information, call 805-8933535 or visit www.artsandlectures. ucsb.edu.

Nov. 17. — “River of Fire: My Spiritual Journey”: Sister Helen Prejean, author of “Dead Man Walking,” at 5 p.m. Nov. 19. — “1619”: Nikole Hannah-Jones, Pulitzer Prize-winning creator of “The 1619 Project,” at 5 p.m. Dec. 8. — “Between the World and Me”: Ta-Nehisi Coates, author and essayist, at 5 p.m. Jan. 12. — “Caste: The Origin of Our Discontents”: Isabel Wilkerson, Pulitzer Prize-winning author, at 5 p.m. Jan. 26. Live events, which vary from Jazz at Lincoln Center Orchestra with Wynton Marsalis to the Alvin Ailey American Dance Theater, are scheduled to start Feb. 3. (See the FYI box.) Mainstage events are complemented by extensive outreach activities on the UCSB campus. As part of Arts & Lectures’ Thematic Learning Initiative, free adult learning activities will provide interested individuals and community groups with the tools to further explore race in society and promote change. Arts & Lectures is presenting this series in association with the following campus partners:

Department of Black Studies; Center for Black Studies Research; Division of Social Sciences; Division of Humanities and Fine Arts; Division of Mathematical, Life and Physical Sciences; Division of Student Affairs; Gevirtz Graduate School of Education; Graduate Division; College of Creative Studies; College of Engineering; MultiCultural Center; The CarseyWolf Center; UCSB Reads; Office of the Vice Chancellor for Diversity, Equity and Inclusion; and Office of the Executive Vice Chancellor. Tickets, now on sale, are available for $80 for admission to each virtual event and $10 for single events for the general public and free for UCSB students (registration required). For tickets and more information, call 805-893-3535 or visit www.artsandlectures.ucsb. edu. The virtual events are created exclusively for UCSB Arts & Lectures and can be purchased by anyone, anywhere. The presentations will be followed by Q&As with the audience. Most programs are an hour long, starting at 5 p.m. Pacific Time, and most will be available for replay by ticket buyers for one week following the broadcast. “A key component of this effort is our work to amplify the impact of these events throughout the UCSB campus and the Santa Barbara community,” said Ms. Billeci. “We want to ensure that conversations and actions will carry on long after an event has ended. “In order to promote lasting change here in Santa Barbara, an extensive schedule of educational and community activities will take place alongside lectures and performances.” email: mmcmahon@newspress.com.

Carbajal reports mild symptoms U.S. Rep. Salud Carbajal remained in good spirits a day after testing positive for COVID19. “I’ve had some symptoms, mostly mild — from a (low-grade) fever to a chill, a slight cough, a headache and a little fatigue. But mostly mild,” Rep. Carbajal, D-Santa Barbara, told the NewsPress Wednesday by phone from a Washington, D.C., hotel, where he remains in quarantine. The congressman sounded enthusiastic as he went on to discuss domestic and foreign issues for upcoming NewsPress stories about him and Andy Caldwell, the Republican opponent challenging him in the Nov. 3 election. (Mr. Caldwell is a News-Press columnist.) A spokeswoman for Rep. Carbajal told the News-Press Wednesday that the congressman came in contact last week with U.S. Sen. Mike Lee, a Utah Republican who tested positive for COVID-19. After learning about that positive test, Rep. Carbajal was tested, and the initial test came back negative. But after he started to experience mild symptoms, the attending physician advised him to take another COVID-19 test Tuesday, and that test was positive. — Dave Mason

ARIES — You may feel like you desperately need something, Aries, yet you’re unsure as to what it is exactly. Someone close to you may be trying to fit the missing puzzle piece into place, but this may be next to impossible if it’s unclear which piece is actually missing. This difficult situation may lead to frustration if you aren’t careful. Feel free to admit that you feel powerless. Don’t be ashamed to say so. TAURUS — You may want to remedy every situation by talking things out or taking some sort of action, Taurus. Be careful of making any sudden moves before you really understand what you’re feeling. One minute you may be full of exuberance and ready to launch into a new project, but once you start moving forward, you’re suddenly feeling insecure. Take this resistance as a sign that maybe this isn’t the best time to move forward. GEMINI — Compliments are apt to feel like gold to you, Gemini. There’s nothing you need more than love and affection on a day like this. Beware that you may end up as putty in the hands of whoever showers you with flattery. You may also resent this need for attention and not be willing to receive it graciously. This isn’t the right attitude. Receive accolades with open arms and offer an equal amount of affection in return. CANCER — If you find that there’s tension in a close relationship, you may get the feeling that this isn’t the right partner for you, Cancer. Don’t automatically assume that the problem lies in your partner. Difficult situations involving the need for love and affection are likely to emerge regardless of the situation or the company. Instead of running to the next person, take the time to work things out. LEO — When tension builds, your sense of security is likely to falter, Leo. You may have a hard time dealing with other people. You could be tempted to turn to food or alcohol for inner nourishment. Curing emotional needs by indulging this way may temper your ailment for a while, but it isn’t the solution to the overall problem. Work out the bugs with the people involved, and don’t try to do it on an empty stomach. VIRGO — You might have difficulty expressing your needs, Virgo. The bottom line is that there’s no right or wrong way, although it may be difficult to see this on a day like today. Deep-seated insecurity may make expressing yourself difficult. At a time when you feel +*#!2 +1$)"$ like you should politely take things in, you really may be feeling like you want to run from the people

CODEWORD PUZZLE %\ 'DYH *UHHQ

HOROSCOPE around you. LIBRA — Although you may find it hard to express yourself in some ways, Libra, the one avenue that’s completely wide open today is art. Difficult tension is laced with emotional insecurity, making it hard for you to express your feelings. If you feel that this is the case, find some other means of expressing these emotions. A large canvas and some paints will work quite nicely. SCORPIO — You might be feeling rather insecure when it comes to your peace of mind, Scorpio. Because of the insecurity, it may seem like your relationships are on the rocks. At the same time, having problems in your relationships is making you less likely to trust these close partners with your insecure feelings. Talking about your emotions in an honest manner will help you break out of this difficult situation. SAGITTARIUS — You may feel more reserved than usual, Sagittarius, especially when it comes to romantic relationships. You may be feeling apprehensive about expressing yourself fully, even in the most intimate situations. Be careful about sending messages that suggest that you don’t want to be around others. People are apt to think they’re to blame for your reluctance. It’s fine to be a recluse, but don’t completely alienate yourself in the process. CAPRICORN — Be careful about being too boisterous and chipper around people who don’t exactly feel the same way, Capricorn. Be sensitive to other people’s feelings, and don’t make jokes that are too harsh for the occasion. No one appreciates a wise guy. There’s a somber mood to the day that’s likely to form a dark cloud by late afternoon. Do your best to be the ray of sunshine and not the bolt of lightning. AQUARIUS — Your mood should be quite good for the most part, Aquarius, but there’s apt to be some tension in your relationships. Romantic endeavors aren’t exactly in your favor now, so don’t force an issue that seems too difficult to resolve. Find comfort in your internal warmth. By taking the time to nurture yourself, you will inevitably have more love to give to the people around you. PISCES — There’s a deep longing to be comforted and reassured, Pisces. You may want nothing more than for someone fix you some warm, homemade soup. If this is the case, feel free to call and ask a good friend to come over, if possible. Don’t continue to play the part of the strong, independent one if this isn’t the way you feel. If you aren’t honest about your needs, it will be impossible for anyone to know how to fulfill them.

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.

PROJECT LOCATION: 604 East Ortega Street PROJECT DESCRIPTION: The project consists of the Ortega Park Master Plan, including demolition of existing facilities and construction of a new swimming pool, wading pool, water slide, skate park, splash pad, sports courts, shade sails, sports field with synthetic turf, ping pong tables, cornhole, and buildings for restrooms and maintenance. On-site improvements such as fencing, parking, landscaping, dumpsters and related enclosures and internal walkways are also proposed. Right-of-way improvements including street parking, parking medians, and sidewalk installation are also proposed. Front setback modifications to allow parking within the required 10-foot front setbacks along both Ortega Street and Salsipuedes Street are requested. Planning Commission review and approval of the proposed skate park for consistency with amenities allowed in the Community Park category of Park, as well as review of the proposed Modifications, is required. A formal recommendation from the Parks and Recreation Commission to the Planning Commission regarding the Master Plan is required. Review and approval for all exterior improvements on a City-owned lot is required by the Architectural Board of Review. County Environmental Health Services review and approval of the project’s Soil Management Plan is required. Parks and Recreation department staff are seeking grant funding from State and non-profit organizations. The park is considered a Community Park (except the ballfields and related facilities), a Sports Facility (for the ballfields and related facilities only), and a Community Building (the Welcome House) per City Council Resolution 17-074. The parcel is zoned P-R, with a General Plan designation of Parks and Open Space.

DRAFT ENVIRONMENTAL DOCUMENT: An Initial Study and a DMND have been prepared for this project and are available for review and comment. The DMND examines environmental impacts which may be associated with this project. Significant environmental effects identified in the DMND which are anticipated as a result of the project include impacts related to Biological Resources, Hazards and Hazardous Materials, Noise, and Water Quality and Hydrology. The DMND includes proposed mitigation measures to mitigate potentially significant impacts to a less than significant level. The project site used to function as a municipal dump; a Phase II Environmental Site Assessment of the parcel concluded that various metals, including lead and zinc, exist in the soil and groundwater at levels that exceed California Hazardous Waste Thresholds. Accordingly, a Soil Management Plan has been reviewed and conditionally approved by County Environmental Health Services to ensure compliance with applicable federal, state, and local regulations. It is noted, however, that the site is not identified on any of the lists enumerated under Section 65962.5 of the Government Code.

“I think that a good comprehensive curriculum, really good education is the best way to support our students to be successful in understanding and managing their bodies and making good choices,� she said. AGE-APPROPRIATE CONCERNS SB Unified students previously discussed sex ed in high school, but the CHYA brings it to middle school as well. “Kids are coming into the clinic with infections or pregnancies, and they haven’t been properly educated,� Ms. Thurman, the nurse practitioner, said. “I think the conversations should be starting earlier with body education and body autonomy.� Commenters during the Sept. 8 board meeting said the curriculum was too much for middle school. Mrs. Batastini said some materials are pornographic. She doesn’t like that the materials lists different forms of sexual contact, and she said scenarios presented by an activity might give students ideas. “When I taught sex ed, the teens were really appreciative of honest, explicit information,� Ms. Ford,

the school board member, said. “I would much rather give as much clear and explicit instruction as possible so that it was accurate.� Advocates of Teen Talk said students already are exposed to information online and that some may receive inaccurate and unhealthy advice on the web. “Children are exposed to all sorts of misinformation and pressures in person and online, to counter that they need and deserve a resource of trusted, factual information,� Cressida Silvers, mother of three, said during the board meeting. GENDER IDENTITY The CHYA states: “Instruction and materials shall teach pupils about gender, gender expression, gender identity and explore the harm of negative gender stereotypes.� Many commenters were pleased that the Teen Talk curriculum is “non-judgmental� and discusses various gender identities and ways of expression. Others think it goes too far for middle-school-aged students. The district keeps a copy of the curriculum for parents to view by appointment, and more parent communication is planned. email: ahanshaw@newspress.com

Mr. Wallach believes the main issue of the election is the coronavirus, and encourages social distancing and testing until a vaccine is created. He believes isolation is just as important as finding a cure. Furthermore, he envisions making Goleta an “environmental paradise,� with bird, mammal and other native species of animals and plant preserves in the Los Carneros lake area. He also supports the construction of a homeless shelter in Goleta, and narrowing Hollister Avenue and implementing brick sidewalks, new facades and parking in Old Town. Familiar faces running for second terms include Stuart Kasdin and Kyle Richards. Mr. Kasdin references his 2016 goals in office — to pursue a different set of priorities than the prior council and to create more effective and efficient city administration — and says these came to fruition in the completed projects of the Jonny D.

debate

Continued from Page A1 Sen. Hannah-Beth Jackson, D-Santa Barbara, also took issue with the vice president interrupting Sen. Harris and refusing to cede his time when it was up. She added that Mr. Pence butting in when the senator was talking likely struck a chord with a lot of women who are used to men interrupting them. “So many of us during the course of our lives have been talked over, interrupted, and mansplained, which the vice president did quite a bit,” she said. She also objected to the vice president not saying whether there would be a peaceful transfer of power should Mr. Trump lose reelection, calling it the “most disturbing” part of the debate. Both Mr. Atkins and Sen. Jackson praised Sen. Harris for her out-of-the-gate critique of the Trump administration’s handling of the COVID-19 pandemic, citing that it has resulted in the United States suffering a quarter of COVID-19 deaths despite having only 4% of the world’s population. Santa Barbara County Republican Party chairwoman Bobbi McGinnis spoke in defense of the president’s handling of the pandemic, pointing out that pre-lockdown he cut off travel from China because of the virus only to be met with accusations of xenophobia from Democrats. Ms. McGinnis was particularly distressed by Sen. Harris refusing to answer a question from Mr. Pence regarding whether the Biden administration would try to pack the United States Supreme

Members sought for corrections program

Court with additional seats. She expressed fear that this possibility would disrupt the balance of power between the three branches of the federal government. Quoting political commentator Bill O’Reilly, she stated, “This is the most important election of our lifetime. The Democrats want to stack the Supreme Court. This would forever change the very foundations of our republic.” Coalition of Labor, Agriculture & Business executive director and Republican Andy Caldwell also took issue with the senator evading the court packing question and echoed concerns about this happening under the Biden administration. Mr. Caldwell, who is running for Congress and is also a NewsPress columnist, remarked that court packing would co-opt the judicial branch into an extension of the legislative branch and pose an “extreme danger to our constitutional republic.” He also accused Sen. Harris of misrepresenting the “clear agenda of the Biden-Harris ticket” in regard to energy and fracking. “They have unequivocally stated again and again that they want to end our reliance on fossil fuels and fracking,” he said. He added, “I found it very distressing that she would outright lie about that.” As far as how Sen. Harris conducted herself, Ms. McGinnis said she was obviously “trying to be more likeable.” Mr. Caldwell said Sen. Harris came off as insincere. “If people were watching her body language and her voice intonation, they should be able to tell that she was coached, she was scripted,” he said.

HOWORTH, Bea

Bea Howorth, longtime business executive, public relations official, educator and La Cumbre Plaza promotion director, passed away September 23 from complications following a 2004 stroke. She leaves behind David Howorth, her husband of over 50 years. Bea was known for her managing and marketing expertise with the EW Hahn Company in establishing La Cumbre Plaza in Santa Barbara in 1967. During her tenure she handled car, boat, aircraft, fashion, music, art, and many other shows and activities. She frequentlly visited the Channel Islands with friends in her six-bed Columbia sloop, and also loved hosting in her Old Spanish Riviera home, where many enjoyed drinking from her unique wine fountain and attending her pool parties. She enjoyed attending Hollywood movie previews, receptions, and meeting cast and crew with her husband David, an Academy member. She spent 30 years in regional, national, and corporate public relations and marketing, and coordinated the opening of Hahn’s Palm Desert Town Center. She was past president, Palm Desert Chamber of Commerce; Palm Springs Women’s Press Club woman of the year. She was raised in New Jersey, received a masters degree in education administration, Pepperdine University, and taught marketing and computer skills at Santa Barbara City College. She was with Hospice care at VNA, Serenity House. They provided outstanding care; she was comfortable without pain and with dignity. She leaves behind her husband, David, and many friends and associates. Her final words to David were, “I love you.”

MORTON, Eileen Mary

Eileen Mary Morton, beloved wife, mother and grandmother passed away September 29, 2020 at her home in Santa Barbara. Eileen was a long-time, active member of the Santa Barbara lawn bowling community, and Santa Barbara’s British community. Her mother, Evelyn Rowbottam joined the Santa Barbara lawn bowls club in 1939, among the first group of women allowed to join. Eileen, the youngest of four, was born in Surbiton, Surrey, England in November of 1931. She was seven years old when the family moved to the safety of the United States. Apparently, a fellow passenger on the ocean liner that brought them across the Atlantic told her father of the wonders of Santa Barbara, so when they arrived in New York, he purchased a car and drove his family to the Pacific paradise of Santa Barbara. Eileen took the usual route through the Santa Barbara school system: Jefferson and Roosevelt grade schools followed by La Cumbre Junior High and Santa Barbara High School-where she graduated in the class of 1949. She then attended Santa Barbara Business college, and upon graduation in 1950 took a job with the Seaside Oil Company on State Street. In 1952 Eileen married John Turner, a high-school classmate, and for the next two years worked to help John earn his college degree. In January of 1954, son Martin was born and John received his degree in Chemistry. John was then inducted into the army and the young family moved to Fort Benning, Georgia, where John entered Officers Candidate School. In subsequent years, children Glenn, Gail and Kenneth were born. Tragedy struck the family in 1965 when John died at the age of 33. Eileen then moved her family back to Santa Barbara to be near her parents and siblings. She took a position at Tri-Counties Regional Center and rose in the organization to become secretary to the Medical Director. She met Jim Morton in 1977 and they were married in 1979. Shortly after they married Jim and Eileen purchased Sandollar Printing and went into business. Eileen will be greatly missed.

PHILLIPS, Kay Alicia

Kay Alicia Phillips (Kekoanui/Reed) died at the age of 73 on September 23, 2020. She passed away peacefully at home in Santa Barbara surrounded by her loving family who cared for her in her final days. She died as a result of complications from a stroke suffered in early September. As all that knew her would agree, Kay was a beautiful soul. She loved deeply and unconditionally and provided that love until the end to her daughters, Kim Kekoanui Blair (Chris Blair) and Kristin Kekoanui Smith. Her family was her greatest joy; especially her five grandchildren and one great-grandchild (Brandon, Shelby and Savannah Smith, Joe and Jade Blair and Baby Brandon Smith). Her sisters, Sue Phillips King and Jan Phillips Gould, with whom she shared an unbreakable bond were with her until the end, providing loving care and prayers throughout her final days. Her brother Roddy Phillips called daily and stated numerous times, “Her love remains in my heart.” She was likely welcomed to Heaven by her loving parents, Doug and Alice Phillips and brothers Johnny and Dougie Phillips, whom she missed dearly throughout the years. Kay was married after high school to Joe Kekoanui, III and referred to him as, “the love of my life”. Many years after Kay and Joe divorced, Kay was married to Gary Reed until he tragically passed away too soon. Together they shared a love of Gary’s children Jennifer Reed Blackmon, Jodi Reed McKechnie Brian Reed and Renee Reed and the sweet baby (at the time) grandchild, Kayla Peralez Sparks. After Gary’s death, Kay chose to remain alone and focus all her love and care on her grandchildren. She showered them with love, understanding, compassion and acceptance. As Savannah says, “She could always put a smile on your face.” Shelby, “GMA Kay was my #1 supporter and all she wanted in return was for me to be her Shellybean.” Joe, “I will always have you in my heart, Grandma, I miss and love you more than anything.” Jade, “Grandma was my person, one of the only people in this world that truly understood who I was.” Brandon, “I will miss my grandma. I love you.” They are beyond heartbroken that their “G-ma” is gone. Gone but not forgotten. Forever love to you Kay, mom, mom-in-law, grandma, sister, daughter, aunt and loyal friend. Private family only service to be held in October. Memorial for all will be planned in the near future when it’s safe to gather again. In lieu of flowers, please consider a donation in Kay’s name to Alzheimer’s Association, PO Box 96011, Washington DC 20090-6011 or Visiting Nurse & Hospice Care, 512 E. Gutierrez St., SB, CA 93103.
