One year after the deaths of Valerie and Cameron Ely, members of the Ely family were joined by their attorneys at their Hope Ranch estate on Thursday calling for the District Attorney’s Office to revisit its investigation that cleared the Santa Barbara County Sheriff’s deputies involved. Kaitland and Kirsten Ely each shared heartfelt letters to their late mother and brother, with

Kirsten explaining that the family has been grieving and have been unable to pick up the pieces “due to the intentional deception, ineptitude and disregard for human life demonstrated by the Santa Barbara Sheriff’s Department, and the conspiratorial obstruction of truth and outright lies put into print by the Santa Barbara D.A.’s Office.”

The Ely family has filed a civil rights lawsuit against Santa Barbara County, the Sheriff’s Office and the four deputies involved who shot and killed Cameron. Kirsten said the suit is aimed at holding the deputies accountable for their actions and inactions that caused the deaths, with the lawsuit alleging that proper medical care was not provided in a timely manner during the Oct. 15, 2019 incident.

Art show returns to Santa Barbara Creativity graces Cabrillo Boulevard By GRAYCE MCCORMICK NEWS-PRESS STAFF WRITER

The Santa Barbara Arts and Crafts Show is back and ready to welcome locals and tourists to enjoy the creative talents of local artisans. The show officially resumed Sunday, but it didn’t look quite the same as past shows. The advisory committee for the show sent out a questionnaire to all 140 artists, and only about half of them thought it was a good idea to start up again, according to Marilyn Dannehower, chair of the ad hoc advertising committee for the show. She said that could be attributed to the fact that a large portion of the artists are over ages 50 and 60, so they had health concerns with returning. With that in mind, the city found a way to let those who wanted to return do so, and those who didn’t wouldn’t have to pay any fees. “They don’t lose their spaces, they don’t lose their seniority, they don’t have to pay,” Ms. Dannehower told the NewsPress. “But there’s a good number of people who need the income and who want to sell their work

and are comfortable they can stay safe in the environment.” Now artists who choose to participate sign up ahead of time online to choose spaces on Cabrillo Boulevard. With significantly less participation, most of the artists are located near Stearns Wharf. Around 36 artists showed up on Sunday, and Ms. Dannehower said she believes the number will increase each week as people see it function safely. As many other businesses and events, face coverings are required for show members and the public, exhibits are set back from the sidewalk edge six feet to allow social distancing, only one household at a time can visit and/or shop with a show member at one time, handwashing stations were installed and each show member established their own safety plan on top of the general safety plan for all members. “It’s a well-thought out reopening,” Ms. Dannehower said. “Much more so than most things, because the show is part of the city parks and recreation program, so their mandates are a lot stricter than reopening a store would be.” She said the slow but sure Please see ART SHOW on A8

Ely family, attorneys address media ELY

Continued from Page A1 The Ely family has not been in contact with the Sheriff’s Office since Oct. 29, 2019 — some two weeks after the shooting, Kirsten said. “Their silence forced action on our part and, only after filing the suit, we were able to gain access to their autopsies, the Coban audio recordings from each deputy’s mic, and body cam footage. It was this new information that told us that our instinct that something had gone terribly wrong was correct,� she said. “Things were even worse than we had imagined.� Kaitland referred to her late mother as her “best friend� and is heartbroken that she will not be able to hold her newest granddaughter named in her honor. She added that Cameron was “a source of strength� for the family during times of need and expressed sorrow that his life was “tragically cut short� at the age of 30. “Your passings were preventable, which makes the pain even deeper,� she said. “We will fight in honor and preserve your legacy of light, love and truth.� The Ely women spoke following remarks from the family’s attorney, DeWitt M. Lacy, a civil rights attorney with the Law Offices of John L. Burris. Mr. Burris also gave remarks, as did Scott Roder, of Evidence Room, who conducted and presented analysis of the bullet trajectory in the fatal shooting. Mr. Burris said that Thursday’s press conference was held to “set the record straight� after the District Attorney’s report found the shooting to be a justifiable homicide. Mr. Burris did not discuss the criminal components of the investigation that claim that Cameron stabbed his mother to death, but rather focused on the “deception� of Cameron that suggested he was lawfully killed by authorities. “It is our position that this shooting and death was not the function of lawful activity. We will note that he was shot over 22 times. We have preliminary work here showing that he was shot in the front and the back, multiple times. He was clearly unarmed with no weapon of any kind, and so the justification of that just seems unjustified,� said Mr. Burris. In the District Attorney’s report, the deputies claimed that Cameron said he had a gun before he was fatally shot and was a “lethal threat� to the deputies. A transcript from Deputy Phillip Farley’s Coban recording system, provided by the plaintiffs on Thursday, did not include such a statement. Mr. Lacy said they have possession of other audio files that do not support the conclusions made by the D.A. or law enforcement. “They may very well have thought that he was involved in some other activity involving the mom, but that is not a basis to shoot and kill him. You have to have lawful basis to do that, and in this particular matter there was none,� Mr. Burris said.

RAFAEL MALDONADO/NEWS-PRESS PHOTOS

Scott Roder, of Evidence Room, explains his analysis of the biomechanics of the bullet trajectory in the fatal shooting. He claimed that the evidence indicates that law enforcement has “not been truthful� in their recollection of the shooting.

said. Mr. Roder argued that if Cameron was moving like the D.A.’s report indicates, it would be “impossible� for the bullet trajectory to have occurred. “What the evidence is indicating is that they have not been truthful in their dissertation of the shooting events that night,� he said. “You cannot be shot on 360 degrees of your body in under three seconds if all the shooters are standing in one position. So what does that mean? That means that they were deceitful in where they said they were standing at the time they discharged their weapon.� Discrepancies have been noted about the Coban audio recording, with the District Attorney’s Office claiming there was a technical issue that resulted in a mic not picking up any audio from Cameron. Mr. Burris said he doesn’t accept that “because malfunction is not justification to excuse� the deputies’ conduct. Mr. Lacy said they are still in the early forms of discovery in the case, and is hoping to obtain photos from the scene showing where the bullet cases landed, as well as photos of Valerie that have yet to be provided. Mr. Roder added that where the casings were scattered will provide “strong evidence� as to where the deputies were during the shooting, explaining that the groupings should provide a more clear indication. Mr. Lacy said they are also looking to obtain additional audio from one of the involved deputies, and also indicated, as of right now, it is unclear which deputy opened fire first. “These weren’t just somebody or a name and number, these were their loved ones,� he said. “We’re hoping that we will be able to work with the District Attorney’s Office and the city Attorney’s Office to get the justice that this family so deserves.� When reached for comment, District Attorney Joyce Dudley referred to her office’s report, published Oct. 5. She later said via email that if any new evidence is presented to her that she would “absolutely carefully consider it.� Sheriff Bill Brown did not mince words in his statement to the press following Thursday afternoon’s press conference, calling it “undue pretrial publicity.� “Unlike the plaintiff’s attorneys in this case, the Santa Barbara County Sheriff’s Office and the County of Santa Barbara takes seriously our professional obligation to avoid undue pretrial publicity about this matter since it is currently in litigation,� the statement read. “It is important to remember that the plaintiffs’ attorneys’ allegations are just that – allegations, not facts. We will respond to these allegations later, and at the appropriate place, the District Court.�

DeWitt M. Lacy, civil rights attorney

He suggested that the deputies “panicked,� with one opening fire and the others following suit despite no threats being made by Cameron. The attorneys have also taken issue surrounding the medical treatment, claiming that Valerie was left unattended for more than 45 minutes, with deputies “stepping over her body like she wasn’t even there,� and that both the bodies were left at the scene overnight before being removed. Mr. Lacy said that leaving the bodies at the home following the incident was “one of the most egregious displays, in my mind, of malfeasance, that law enforcement can make.� He said the issues of police brutality are “an American issue� and not just limited to race, and that people need to join together and create change. “Yes, we expect that these officers will be held accountable,� he said. “Yes, we hope that the DA will actually do an appropriate look at the objective evidence and make sure that they do the right thing. “Not only to honor the lives of Valerie and Cameron, but all

those who are similarly situated.� A biomechanical illustration was shown that showed the pathway and trajectory of the bullets with a “great matter of certainty,� given what the D.A. and Coroner have reported. Mr. Lacy said that because the Coroner’s Bureau did not “appropriately probe� the trajectory of the bullet wounds that the illustration “cannot be 100% certain.� The attorneys said 15 shots were fired from the rear into Cameron’s back, which they said came while he was on the ground and while he was not a threat to law enforcement. “The reason why we don’t have the answers is because law enforcement didn’t take the time to do their job appropriately, and so we are here today,� Mr. Lacy

Buellton resident Michael McCann promotes his love for the green and beautiful with the Santa Barbara County Plant Lovers Facebook group.

Growing a community Buellton plant collector shares his hobby online

By annelise hanshaw News-press staff writer

ehind the Facebook Group “Santa Barbara County Plant Lovers” is Michael McCann, a fourth-generation plant enthusiast. “Plants are a way to bring a piece of nature back into my house,” the Buellton resident told the News-Press. “And connect with people over it.” He joined a group on Reddit where members swap plants and loved diversifying his collection through it and meeting new people. He wanted to bring that kind of a community locally.

So, in late June, he started the Santa Barbara County Plant Lovers Facebook group. In a few months, it has grown to almost 500 members. “We get new people everyday,” he said. “It’s awesome.” Members sell or trade plants and give each other advice. Mr. McCann comments on most posts, giving tips on the latest growing techniques or just giving a compliment. “One of the reasons I started a Facebook group is that plants are such a unifier,” he said. “I really wanted to create a happy, healthy community for plant lovers.” He even reconnected with a friend from high school after the

friend’s fiancee joined the group. “It has the opportunity to bring people together,” he said. “I’ve made local friends, internet friends, and I have a bunch of people now that do trades over the internet.” He estimates that he has made 30 trades in the past few months, most through mailing plants to members in the Reddit group. He likes connecting with local farmers and plant enthusiasts as he delivers his plants around the county. “Everywhere I go, people are interested in talking about plants,” he said. And he loves every opportunity to discuss his hobby.

His personal collection totals 50 plants, and he’s acquired them all in under a year.

His personal collection totals 50 plants, and he’s acquired them all in under a year. But he feels like he has more because he cares for his mother’s 150-or-so plants. His grandfather opened Rodgers Cymbidiums but died before Mr. McCann was born. So he never got to see his grandfather’s collection. His family history was interesting, but he gained an interest in plants on vacation to the Cayman Islands. On the trip, he saw dart frogs and tropical plants and decided to build a terrarium and raise a few frogs. The habitat he built, though, died after the air conditioning went out while he was away.

“It’s a living thing you can take care of and nurture,” Mr. McCann said about plants.

To keep tropical plants thriving indoors, Mr. McCann uses humidity trays, grow lights and constructs moss poles.

Continued from Page A3 Because he liked picking out the terrarium plants so much, he bought house plants to set around his home. He built up a large collection when he lived in Texas, but they were seized at the border when he moved back home to Santa Barbara County. “Santa Barbara County is incredibly diverse. The wine industry is huge because of all the micro climates,� he said. “You can grow all sorts of varieties outside in Santa Barbara.� The Buellton plant lover uses humidity trays and said he grows lights to “fine tune the environment.� He’s envious of those who can grow tropical plants outdoors. His collection is worth a lot of money. His most rare plant is a Philodendron 69686, a plant just recently identified and named “Big Ears.� Small pots of the plant are worth hundreds online.

Mr. McCann saw the plant market explode at the beginning of the pandemic as more people bought house plants. He said the pandemic plant craze is similar to the rush of animal adoptions he saw. “It’s a living thing you can take care of and nurture,� Mr. McCann said. “It’s like a pet you don’t have to clean out the litter box or take outside.� He also is a beekeeper, something he said fits naturally with his affinity for plants. “The love of plants and nature goes hand in hand. It’s really important that we not only extend out love of nature to plants but also our local environment,� he said. He finds peace taking care of nature and wants to turn it into a professional endeavor. When the pandemic lets up, he plans to study botany. But for now, he will run a Facebook group and grow his collection. email: ahanshaw@newspress.com

To capture the spirit of its location, the new branch at 2034 Cliff Drive is Mesa-inspired, complete with a 162 square-foot TV wall emblazoned with local imagery as well as a nine-foot surfboard by local surfboard builder Reynolds “Renny� Yater, showcasing the photography of local artist Bobbi Bennett. When the pandemic subsides and the community is able to resume in-person gatherings, the 2,600-square foot branch’s community room will be available for community and nonprofit use. — Josh Grega

SM public fitness facility to reopen Nov. 2 SANTA MARIA — The Recreation and Parks Department in Santa Maria plans to reopen the public fitness facilities inside the Abel Maldonado Community Youth Center on Nov. 2. The department hopes to move the equipment into the events center within the same building, located at 600 S. McClelland St. in Santa Maria, to better accommodate physical distancing. “We want to get our facilities re-opened in a safe and orderly manner,� Recreation Services Manager Dennis Smitherman said. “This move will provide

opportunities for many of our longtime patrons to get back to their fitness routines.� Weekday morning hours will be available through a reservation system similar to the one in use at the Nelson Aquatics Center. There’s a $5 fee to cover the cost of the reservation system. The department has made other adjustments throughout the pandemic to meet safety guidelines, including virtual classes, drive-in events, extra cleaning of playgrounds and take-home kits for families. — Annelise Hanshaw

Museum of Contemporary Art SB reopens Oct. 22 SANTA BARBARA — The Museum of Contemporary Art Santa Barbara will reopen Oct. 22. Its reduced hours will be 11 a.m. until 3 p.m. Thursdays through Sundays. Appointments are required and should be scheduled at least 24 hours in advance, and time slots last 30 minutes. Attendance is limited to allot for physical distancing. Masks are required, and guests should remain at least six feet apart from visitors outside their party. The front desk won’t hold bags, so backpacks and other personal items should be left at home. And, as usual, visitors can’t touch the art.

The current exhibition is titled “Outside Looking In� by Genevieve Gaignard. It draws on the artist’s experience being a child of a black father and white mother in a predominantly white town. The installation combines work from 2016 to 2019 and addresses race, femininity, class and self image. The artist prepared a playlist on Spotify to accompany her work. It’s available on the museums Spotify profile, “mcasantabarbara.� MCASB is selling floral face masks inspired by the exhibition on its website, mcasantabarbara.org. — Annelise Hanshaw

unmistakable passion in the air that will grant you more zest for life. Libra — Jump-start the day with a smile, Libra. Your generosity and sincerity won’t go unnoticed on a day like this. People will probably need more attention than usual, so take the time to attend to the emotions of those you love. The key is to not let yourself get emotionally drained in the process. Fill yourself up with the lively, fun-loving energy of the day. Scorpio — There could be an unexpected tension coming out of nowhere today, Scorpio. More than likely your emotions will be running at a high level. It could be that your aggressiveness and assertiveness start to annoy others. People might snap suddenly. Don’t be surprised if things come without much warning. There is a fast-paced feeling to the day that will be hard to ignore. Sagittarius — Your slow and steady approach might be met with a bit of opposition today, Sagittarius. People could be demanding of your time and energy. It’s one of those days in which the people behind you in line at a coffee shop might give you dirty looks if you take too long to make up your mind. Capricorn — This is a terrific day for you, Capricorn, and you will find that the fast pace of the day suits you well for what you need to get done. There’s a general feeling of grandeur in the air that reminds you to take your time when getting dressed. Feel free to go all out today. Put on a lavish display wherever you go. Aquarius — Do your best to keep up today, Aquarius. Things might move quickly. You may be raising your hand and waiting politely for someone to call on you. This is one of those days in which other people will be so concerned about themselves that they probably won’t notice you at all. If you want to take your turn, you should probably just stand up and be proactive. Pices — This is a good time to take control of the situation, Pisces. You’ve done your preparation and now it’s time to put it to good use. You’re about to face your enemy eye to eye. Have confidence in your training. There’s an extra alertness to you that helps you fight any battles. You have a strong awareness of the energy around you, so use this to your advantage.

“Do your duty and a little more and the future will take care of itself.� — Andrew Carnegie

Aries — Don’t be surprised if the old-fashioned, practical solution doesn’t make the grade today, Aries. Probably the new devices and special electronic shortcuts will be the most impressive thing going. This is the classic case of the new, improved version replacing the old, slow one. You need to upgrade your system sooner or later, so you might as well do it now. Taurus — You may be able to zip through chores like lightning today, Taurus. There’s an added swiftness to your step that helps in every one of your endeavors. You might want to engage in just about every activity except work. This is completely understandable. You will feel much better if you get your work done first and then socialize. That plan will produce the best results. Gemini — You’re likely to go to extremes today on many levels, Gemini. The problem is that you may encounter opposition everywhere you turn. There’s an incredible stubbornness to the day that is evident in everyone’s mood, especially yours. Keep in mind that if you want cooperation and resolution, you will need to compromise. Try to see other people’s needs as well. Cancer — Grab hold of the day’s boisterous energy and run with it, Cancer. This is a good time to kick up your heels and have fun. You might find that people are a bit more high-strung than usual, so you may need to use your ability to go with the flow. The more relaxed you are, the more relaxed others will be when they’re around you. Leo — You might be frustrated by the fact that people are doing things hastily today, Leo. You might have to accept the fastpaced energy of the day just so you can keep up. Don’t worry if you engage in activities that aren’t carefully planned beforehand. You will find spontaneous frivolity to be extremely rewarding on a day like this. Expect the unexpected. Virgo — People may come into conflict with you today, Virgo. More than likely, the issue at hand will have to do with others being a bit too focused on themselves, while you’re more concerned with the collective. Try to be a bit more understanding as people demand more of your attention. There’s an

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.

CHOMP on the Rocks, a ‘70s-themed burger joint with milkshakes, opened Thursday at the Santa Barbara Harbor.

By GRAYCE MCCORMICK NEWS-PRESS STAFF WRITER

CHOMP on the Rocks has come to Santa Barbara, and the ‘70sthemed diner sits on the harbor, allowing customers a “burger with a view.� The retro restaurant adjacent to the Santa Barbara Maritime Museum at 113 Harbor Way is meant to be a nostalgic, familyoriented joint with traditional burgers, hot dogs, “Old School� sandwiches and, of course, milkshakes.

Complete with black and white tiles, red leather stools and booths, and shiny aluminum tables, CHOMP on the Rocks doesn’t have any TVs or distractions. Aaron Petersen, owner, operator and Southern California restaurateur, wants the joint to be a destination for families just spending time together. He owns three other versions of CHOMP in Solvang: CHOMP | Burgers, Fries, Shakes; brekkies by CHOMP; and The Coffee House by CHOMP. “I’m excited to see if the concept

will be a magnet for the kids and the families and the grandparents, with milkshakes, no TVs, ‘70s music ‌â€? he told the News-Press. “I’m excited to see if this concept works down at the waterfront.â€? On the floor above CHOMP on the Rocks sits SALTY at the Beach, another new restaurant of Mr. Petersen’s, replacing the previous restaurant Endless Summer. SALTY at the Beach features a more upscale, sports bar feel with eight TVs. While the owner has hard liquor licenses for both SALTY at the

Beach and CHOMP on the Rocks, he’s holding off on the hard liquor at the latter, both because of COVID-19 and because he wants to see if it’s truly in demand. “I don’t want some little girl with her grandfather having a milkshake and some group of guys next to them screaming at the TV,� Mr. Petersen said. “CHOMP is just a lot more family-oriented.� However, local beers and wines are still available for CHOMP on the Rocks customers, and if they desire a cocktail, they can still order one and an employee will

Westmont tops NAIA poll By MARK PATTON NEWS-PRESS SENIOR WRITER

Westmont College cashed in the big chip on its shoulder last March when it won its record-setting, fifth-straight Golden State Athletic Conference championship in women’s basketball. “We weren’t picked to win league in very many of those seasons,” coach Kirsten Moore observed. “For many years, this program didn’t seem to get the respect we thought we’d earned.” But the Warriors got it in spades this week when the National Association of Intercollegiate Athletics dealt them the No. 1 ranking in its preseason poll. Westmont received 17 of a possible 21 first-place votes for 586 points. It finished 23 points ahead of No. 2 Wayland Baptist, Tex., which received the other four firstplace votes. In the men’s basketball poll, Westmont got 107 points to miss the top 25 by just two spots and eight points. Moore, who has compiled a winloss record of 355-122 in 15 seasons at Westmont, addressed her team as soon as the new poll was released. “My message to them was that it’s nice to have the program in the position where we have respect at that level,” she said. “It’s nice for people to see what we did last year and to also see that we have all but one player back — that we have all the pieces and tools necessary to do great things this year. “But at the same time, we’re telling them that preseason rankings are obviously just a prediction of what our potential could be. And what that means is, ‘Hey, we have a pretty high

Westmont College women’s basketball coach Kirsten Moore cuts down the net at Murchison Gym after they won their fifth-straight Golden State Athletic Conference championship last March.

standard to meet.’” Last season began at a low point. The Warriors lost several players including starting forward Sydney Brown, a 6-foot sophomore. Brown, their second-leading scorer (9.7 points per game) and top rebounder (8.8) as a freshman, tore a knee ligament before the season even started. By the time Claremont-MuddScripps tore the Warriors apart in their opener, 58-39, Westmont’s roster had become both small … and small: It was reduced to just eight players who stood an average of just 5 foot, 5 inches in height. But Westmont’s Great Eight stood tall by season’s end with a 27-3 record. The Warriors won the GSAC Tournament on their home court and then learned on March 11 that they had been awarded the No. 1 overall seed for the NAIA Tournament. A day later, they were told that the event had been canceled because of the COVID-19 pandemic. “Some years we have had the opportunity to try and make those deep runs,” said Moore, who won

the school’s trades program. He is one of 15 to receive a $50,000 prize; three others received a $100,000 grand prize. More than 600 teachers applied and were sussed out in three rounds of judging. The application process included a question-and-answer section and a series of modules designed to assess teachers’ knowledge and creativity.

the NAIA National championship in 2013. “I think that this team was built for it, even though we were small in numbers and small in stature. “Our year had prepared us for so many styles of play that we would have seen. We had that fighting spirit that you need to win those big games and be able to turn around and play again the next day.” They had coalesced in a winning unit by adopting a ball-sharing approach that led to an assist-toturnover ratio of 2.14 — the best recorded by an NAIA team since 2004. Lauren Tsuneishi, a 5-foot point guard and one of only two seniors on this year’s team (54 reserve Taylor Rarick is the other), led the NAIA with an assistto-turnover ratio of 4.10. Three teammates were also in the top five: 5-2 junior Krissy Miyahara (3.09, third), 5-5 junior Iyree Jarrett (2.98, fourth), and 5-3 junior Stefanie Berberabe (2.84, fifth). “Lauren has been our captain since she was thrown into the position as a sophomore,” Moore pointed out. “She was one of only three players that year who weren’t freshmen. It was, ‘Ready or not, you’re a leader,’ and it’s been so great to see her grow and thrive in that role. “Now she’s a senior and totally equipped and capable of teaching our culture. She’s also an incredible player who’s been underappreciated — although not by us. She’s shown time and again that she’s so capable of impacting the game, and she’s been so clutch and key to who we are.” Tsuneishi, an NAIA AllAmerican as a sophomore, was left off that list last season despite averaging 11.0 points while shooting 39.5% from the three-point line. She did make the All-GSAC squad, however. Jarrett, a 5-5 junior, made firstteam All-American while leading the Warriors in both scoring (14.1 points) and playmaking (5.1

assists). Berberabe, a 5-3 junior, received All-America honorable mention after averaging 11.9 points and assists (4.4). Maud Ranger, a third-team All-American, was Westmont’s only graduating senior. Westmont also led the NAIA with its average of 12.4 three-pointers per game. Tsuneishi and Ranger made 96 threes apiece to come within three of the school record — a mark they probably would’ve both broken had the NAIA Tournament not been canceled. “Selena (HoEnglish) has been heading our offense for a while, and she really found something that worked with our personnel,” Moore said of her top assistant coach. Kaitlin Larson, a 5-11 junior who averaged 9.6 points and 7.4 rebounds, was Westmont’s only starting post player last year. Like Tsuneishi, she was left off last season’s All-America team after making it the previous year. “It’s so crazy, but with Syd, we have five players coming back who’ve been All-GSAC,” Moore pointed out. Her team is bigger … and bigger this season. She has a dozen players on the roster and four of them are at least 6-feet tall. “I am superexcited about this freshman class,” Moore said. “A lot of the pieces in that class remind me of our current junior class, which is very deep and skilled and brought us new elements like playmaking which we didn’t have before.” Although the Warriors have been conditioning and drilling, Moore said the “real basketball” won’t start until next week “when we get to play offense and defense.” That is, of course, if they continue to test negative for the coronavirus. Their schedule has also not yet been determined because of COVID-19. “There’s no new normal right now,” Moore said, “only the normal of the new.”

The competition was started in 2017 by Eric Smidt, founder of Harbor Freight Tools. He seeks to recognize outstanding trades instruction. Mr. Mollkoy was the first in his family to graduate from college and earned a bachelor’s degree in English and a teaching credential from UC Davis. He taught high school English and coached wrestling for seven years before obtaining a contractor’s

license. He started his own finish carpentry company and eventually returned to teaching — but as a trades teacher. In 2018, he received the Marvin Melvin Award, an honor designating him as the career and technical education teacher of the year in Santa Barbara County.

Me.” After the ensemble did several starting-and-stopping renditions to make adjustments to its performance, the cameras rolled and Mr. Kabaretti led the symphony and Ms. Vroman in complete run throughs. The performances were shot from several different angles and will be edited so the viewers at home can see Mr. Kabaretti and his musicians in an up-close way they don’t get to see when seated in The Granada. For Santa Barbara Symphony interim CEO Kathryn Martin, the fact that “Cabaret with Kabaretti” is finally happening is a “dream come true.” There was no shortage of obstacles that the symphony needed to overcome and people it had to consult with to get the show off of the ground. According to Ms. Martin, the road to taping opening night involved working painstakingly with the likes of the Santa Barbara County Public Health Department and experts who assessed The Granada’s airflow and advised on how to set up the stage. Ms. Vroman singing on the right side of the stage was a decision made based on the advice the airflow experts gave, as was having the musicians take a break every 30 minutes during the taping to clear out the auditorium. Throughout the pandemic, many performing arts venues and companies have been hit hard financially, and the Santa Barbara Symphony is no exception. Ms. Martin expressed gratitude for the Santa Barbara community’s generosity in keeping the Symphony and The Granada going. “We’re going into opening night with 100% of our direct costs covered,” Ms. Martin said. “The community here is incredible and really supportive.” Saturday’s broadcast will be a fundraiser for The Granada and symphony. For the orchestra’s opening night, Mr. Kabaretti wanted the show to emphasize entertaining music that would give music lovers a feeling of connection amid the pandemic. Thus, he chose cabaret, which he described as “an intimate genre” characterized by fun music and storytelling. In a statement the maestro

said, “Knowing that we won’t have an audience in the hall, the storytelling became very important, and the Cabaret is a perfect format to share the story of the music by showcasing our friend and Broadway star Lisa Vroman, our symphony, the beautiful Granada theater and our local celebrity Leslie Zemeckis.” A renowned Broadway and opera soprano, Ms. Vroman is known for starring as Christine Daaé in “The Phantom of the

Opera” on Broadway for several years. She has also starred as Lili Vanessi in Glimmerglass Opera and the MUNY Theater of St. Louis’ production of “Kiss Me Kate,” and Marian Paroo in “The Music Man” at the Bushnell Theatre in Hartford, Conn. In Saturday’s broadcast, Ms. Vroman will sing numbers such as “Think of Me” from “The Phantom of the Opera,” “So in Love” from “Kiss Me Kate,” “The Trolley Song” from “Meet Me in

St. Louis,” “I Could Have Danced all Night” from “My Fair Lady, Leonard Bernstein’s “Some Other Time” and George Gershwin’s “By Strauss.” Hosting will be local resident Leslie Zemeckis, an actress, singer, author and wife of “Back to the Future” director Robert Zemeckis. A huge fan of the Santa Barbara Symphony, Ms. Zemeckis told the News-Press she “leapt at the opportunity” to host the show when Mr. Kabaretti asked her to do it after seeing her host another digital cabaret show. While she was present at The Granada on Wednesday evening, Ms. Zemeckis had already shot her host segments on the previous day. The actress told the News-Press that coming up with the words for her segments was collaborative and that she was allowed to throw in some local historical information. “They let me throw in a bit of history as I am a big history buff and I really wanted the Santa Barbara community to feel good about ourselves as a community that has gone through so much,” she said. Ms. Zemeckis will also be singing one number during the show, the title of which she has decided to keep under wraps until opening night. However, she did

say the song is from a character that she has played live for many years, a character she described as “quite fun,” “a little naughty” and who “speaks a lot of truths.” Prior to the show beginning at 7 p.m., there will be a half hour of pre-show activities. These will include interviews and instruction on how to mix the event’s signature cocktail. To make “Cabaret with Kabaretti” feel like a night out on the town from one’s own home, the symphony has partnered with DUO Catering, which is preparing a cabaret-inspired meal and cocktail that viewers can order for takeout. While viewers can’t order a complete cocktail to go, DUO will provide the mixes and garnishes necessary to make it at home. During the show’s intermission, Ms. Martin will interview the symphony’s musicians and ask them how it feels to finally be playing together after so long apart. The CEO remarked that the musicians were emotional when answering her questions and called Wednesday’s taping of “Cabaret with Kabaretti” “a homecoming.” “Cabaret with Kabaretti” will begin at 7 p.m. Saturday, with preshow activities starting earlier at 6:30 p.m. Viewers can start tuning in at 6 p.m., when the show’s countdown clock begins. The show will be broadcast again on Sunday, with the countdown clock beginning at 2 p.m. Pre-show activities will start at 2:30 p.m., and the performance will start at 3 p.m. Tickets for “Cabaret with Kabaretti” can be bought at granadasb.org.

Jane and Erma decided to move to San Francisco together in Jane’s green Pontiac, a wayward road trip that took them to Denver, Salt Lake City, and even to a bullfight in Tijuana, Mexico. In San Francisco, Jane met the late Robert Dyruff, the love of her life. The two were engaged after a six-month romance and their wedding was heralded as the most beautiful ceremony in Ripley. She raised four children and took in two nieces in their teens, which made for a very busy household. She often said she had no idea how she could cook for that many people every day! Her mac n’ cheese recipe became a family favorite, as did her chocolate birthday cakes. In Montecito, Jane worked with the Channel City Club for nearly 20 years organizing community speaking events. She served as a trained volunteer with the M.E.R.R.A.G. (Montecito Emergency Response & Recovery Action Group), and during the 2008 Tea Fire she helped coordinate fire engines coming into Montecito from all over California to park at Lower Manning Park. On her 90th birthday, MTO firefighters joined in celebrating with her, much to her delight. Her life was adventurous and her passport full. She took solo trips to New Orleans and the Bahamas, vacationed with friends in Cuba and Hawaii, and travelled with the Committee on Foreign Relations to China, Russia, Georgia, and Cuba with the Art Museum, among other places. Most recent trips include an exploration of Giant’s Causeway in Northern Ireland and a theater tour of England with her family. At age 70, she gleefully added skydiving to her long list of exploits. Jane was a lifelong learner, and took lessons in jewelry-making and lapidary at Santa Barbara City College’s Continuing Education Division. Her projects included bronze busts of two grandchildren, a Jack-in-the-Pulpit carved from alabaster stone, and her son-in-law Jeff ’s wedding ring. She also attended master classes at The Music Academy of the West, and especially enjoyed the percussion courses. She was a proud docent at the historic Casa del Herrero for 25 years, which she helped shepherd to its landmark status. She led workshops, tours, and completed a years-long inventory project with fellow volunteer and friend Joyce Johnson. When her parents passed away, Jane and her sister donated the family home in Ripley, Ohio to the town to become a museum. The Ripley Heritage Museum is a 10-room, 1850s Federal-style house filled with historic artifacts and Civil War memorabilia from Ripley. Jane was an independent woman up until the very end and instilled that sense of autonomy to her children and grandchildren. She was the matriarch of her family and the pillar of all holiday gatherings. Left to glean her lessons are daughter Victoria Harbison and her husband, Jeff, of Santa Barbara; and sons Bradley Dyruff and wife, Karen Roberts, of Montecito; Grant Dyruff and wife, Jill, of Montecito; and Whitney Dyruff of Lake Tahoe; and nieces Zua Stivers of Olympia, Washington, and Sheree Stivers of Portland, Oregon. Her beloved grandchildren Sarah Ashton and her husband, Jeff, of Goleta; Graham Harbison of San Francisco; Crosby Harbison and his fiancé, Allison Considine, of New York City; and Nicholas Dyruff and Lauren Dyruff of Montecito, will carry her memories onward. In her final days, family tended to her with hand holding and virtual serenades on the piano. Jane always said that “getting old is for the birds,” and that that’s why she put it off as long as she did. She left this world a better, brighter place.

DYRUFF, Margaret Jane

She attended Ripley High School and graduated in 1946 from Grier School in Tyrone, Pennsylvania, where she learned to solo pilot a yellow Piper Cub. She attended the University of Cincinnati, and at the request of her father, she joined a sorority. It was through Alpha Gamma Delta that Jane met her lifelong friend Erma Duppstadt.

reopening is ideal after the impact of COVID-19 on the local artists. “There are 130 small businesses represented in that Arts and Crafts Show,” she continued. “Each one of these artists is a small business under themselves. I’m really happy to see that the city is really taking care of everybody, that the people who want to go back, are ready to go back, are eager to go back, they’re back. “People can get going again and people can get back to business. People need money. People don’t want to live on unemployment,” Ms. Dannehower concluded. Jason Bryan, the senior recreation supervisor with the city, added that they removed some of the requirements for artists as well, including that artists had to show a minimum number of items to keep that space. “I think we approached it in a fair way that made it as safe as we can,” he told the NewsPress. “We wanted to respect those businesses to be able to get back on their feet. For some of them, it’s just a little side thing, but for others, it’s half their income, so this can be critical for our arts and crafts people.” This Sunday will mark week two of the Arts and Crafts Show, and any and all locals and visitors are encouraged to attend the 55-year tradition. Official show hours are 10 a.m. to dusk.
