MOXI reopens to public Visitors invited to blow off some STEAM

By ANNELISE HANSHAW NEWS-PRESS STAFF WRITER

MOXI, The Wolf Museum of Exploration + Innovation, located at 125 State St. in Santa Barbara, opened Thursday and welcomed eager visitors into its familyoriented, hands-on exhibits. MOXI isn’t a museum where patrons stroll by and just look at the information. Guests interact with and experience science, technology, engineering, art and mathematics. But President and CEO Dr. Robin Gose doesn’t want her visitors experiencing the science behind infectious diseases (namely COVID-19). She began working this summer to create a safe environment for the families that tour MOXI. “We’re a science museum, so of course, we’re following the science and keeping close tabs on that and then creating procedures and protocols that were in line with that so that we could provide a safe experience for both staff and visitors,” she said.

“But also to make sure that it of the exhibits are open. Some was still really fun. Because that’s spaces, like the maker lab, were part of the joy of coming to MOXI unable to be converted to new is that you learn through play and standards. exploration and discovery.

And kids, this is so out of their control, and so to be able to come back here where they can play gets me choked up.” It’s obvious that she really enjoys science, not just because she wears a MOXI mask that says “I love science.” Dr. Gose started her career as a science teacher in Culver City. She spent years working at various science museums. “The early years of childhood are so important to build the fundamentals and the foundation for future science and math achievement, or just interest,” she said. “What we have, through our exhibits and programs is Please see MOXI on A8

A barge off the coast of Summerland is at work capping the abandoned Treadwell oil well. This is the second well to be capped under Sen. Hannah-Beth Jackson’s Senate Bill 44, which was passed in 2017. The first was the Becker well in 2018. In an interview with the NewsPress, Sen. Jackson said the well capping project is going after the most “egregious” and “dangerous” abandoned wells first. Under SB 44, $2 million per year for seven years is set aside

to cap abandoned leaking oil wells. “It’s very exciting to see the results of that effort and to finally cap those wells so that people can enjoy that beautiful beach without fear of health issues, or contamination as a result of that leakage,” the senator said. Sen. Jackson made a post on Twitter on Wednesday celebrating the Treadwell capping, which included a picture of herself and Hillary Hauser with the barge out at sea in the background.

Big West media pick UC Irvine over UCSB in men’s basketball By MARK PATTON NEWS-PRESS SENIOR WRITER

UCSB finished second to twotime defending champion UC Irvine in the media’s Big West Conference men’s basketball poll, although the Gauchos did land the most players on the preseason allleague team. Junior Amadou Sow and senior JaQuori McLaughlin were among the six players chosen to the honor squad. They joined Irvine’s Collin Welp, UC Riverside’s Arinze Chidom, Long Beach State’s Chance Hunter, and UC Irvine’s Ezra Manjon. UCSB’s women were picked to finish third by the media and fourth by the coaches (the Big West’s men’s coaches discontinued their own preseason poll several years ago). Senior Danae Miller was the lone Gaucho voted by both the media and coaches to the women’s all-league team. Sophomore center Ila Lane, who was one of 25 players nominated this week for the Becky Hammon Mid-Major Player of the Year Award, is opting out of this season because of the COVID-19 pandemic. “At the end of the day, Irvine deserves to be picked first,� Gaucho men’s coach Joe Pasternack said. “They’ve been the defending champs for a couple of years now and they have a great program. “We have no control over the rankings or predictions, the only thing we have control over is what we do in practice to get better.� The future does look bright for UCSB, which also officially announced the signings of backcourt recruits Cole Anderson and Ajay Mitchell that were reported last summer by the NewsPress. Sow was a second-team all-

leaguer last year while McLaughlin received honorable mention. “I think they’re two of the best players in the league,� Pasternack said. “That was proven last year, although it is all about what have you done for me this year. “There will be a lot of attention on them from opposing defenses, but the good news is that we have a lot of guys who can score. If you focus too much on those two, we have three or four other guys who can take advantage of that.� Sow, a 6-foot-9 junior, averaged 14.1 points and 7.0 rebounds last year to make the All-Big West Second Team for the second straight season. McLaughlin, a 6-4 senior, received honorable mention after averaging 13.4 points and 4.1 assists as a junior. “They’ve both improved tremendously in different areas, but they’re still not finished products,� Pasternack said. “They both love the game and have worked unbelievably hard to get better. “I’m really proud of them, and hopefully they can continue to improve as the year goes on.� UC Irvine received 18 first-place votes and 270 total points while UCSB was picked first on nine of the ballots while totaling 254 points. One first-place vote went to UC Davis, which was third in the poll with 182 points. The Aggies were followed by Hawaii, UC Riverside, Long Beach State, Cal State Bakersfield, Cal State Northridge, Cal State Fullerton, and Cal Poly. Big West newcomer UC San Diego was not included in the poll since it’s transitioning from Division 2 to Division 1 athletics and is ineligible for the postseason. UC Davis and UC Irvine finished 1-2 for the women in both the media’s and coaches’ preseason polls. UCSB placed third with the

coaches and fourth with the media. Hawaii took third in the media survey. Miller was joined on both preseason all-league women’s teams by Cal Poly’s Sierra Campisano, Fullerton’s Taylor Turney, Long Beach’s Justina King and Davis’ Cierra Hall. Riverside’s Keilani Cooper made the coaches’ all-league team while Cal Poly’s Abbey Ellis replaced her on the media’s team. Miller, a 5-7 senior guard, averaged 13.5 points and 4.0 assists last season to help the Gaucho women secure the No. 2 seed for the Big West Tournament — an event that was canceled by the COVID-19 pandemic. She also made a career-high 37 threepointers. “She can shoot from a little bit deeper now,â€? coach Bonnie Henrickson said. “Her ability to create and her handles have improved, too. She can change hands better when under pressure, and she knows when to let go of it. “She’s also shown a real toughness, having played with a dislocated toe two years ago. She’s tough and talented and unselfish‌ Hard to guard and fun to coach.â€? Henrickson also announced the signings of four highly rated recruits: 6-foot guard Kennedy Johnson of Bishop O’Dowd High, 6-foot wing Analillia Cabuena of Stockton’s Lincoln High, 5-6 point guard Callie Cooper of Richardson, Tex., and 6-3 center Laurel Rockwood of Foothill High in Henderson, Nev. Henrickson said Kennedy and Cabuena are both impact players who will bring a combination of length and athleticism to UCSB’s backcourt. Cooper, meanwhile, “is a point guard who will change the game on both ends... She is a true leader who plays with a high

competitive drive.� Rockwood, the tallest of the recruits, has “a skill set that allows her to step off the block and score at the rim,� she added. Pasternack is counting on his own recruits to help replace the four seniors and one graduate transfer on this year’s roster. Mitchell, a 6-3 guard, averaged 13.3 points with 3.6 assists in eight games for Belgium’s U18 team at

the European Championships in Oradea, Romania. He also averaged 9.5 points for the World Select Red team at the NBA Academy Games in Atlanta. Anderson, also 6-3, averaged 27 points and made 137 threepointers — a CIF-Central Section record — to lead Clovis West to a 26-6 record last year and the section’s Open Division final. “Ajay comes from an incredible

family in Belgium,� Pasternack said. “He is a very talented guard who will have a tremendous impact on our program. “Cole also comes from a terrific family in Fresno and his sister (Megan Anderson) is on the Gaucho women’s team. He is considered the most prolific three-point shooter in the state.� email: mpatton@newspress.com

Artists and activists

Oak Group artists hold show to benefit NatureTrack

By ANNELISE HANSHAW NEWS-PRESS STAFF WRITER

A

group of 25 activists brings awareness to open spaces and Santa Barbara County’s natural beauty armed not with megaphones and pickets, but paintbrushes and cameras. The Oak Group is a 34-yearold organization of artists and friends who love nature so much that they use their creativity to save it. They’ve been part of the conservation of the Carpinteria Bluffs and the Douglas Preserve. This year, they are focusing on NatureTrack, a nonprofit that provides free field trips to classes and guides kids through nature. The Oak Group’s current show “The Link Between Man and Nature” highlights NatureTrack’s popular trips, and 50% of the sales go to the nonprofit. “I was just thrilled when they called me and said we were selected,” Sue Eisaguirre, founder and executive director of NatureTrack, said. “They heard about us and our missions are similar; they’re protecting open space and we’re creating stewards of our natural resources.” Currently, NatureTrack is leading trips for organizations like the YMCA or families who want to experience nature together. It also has virtual hikes and activities for classroom instruction. Painter Ray Hunter tagged along on two field trips in January and used watercolor to show the kids’ experience. “Most of the time we paint landscapes, but in this particular instance, it’s all about the kids,” he said. He noticed one child on the trip so taken with the ocean that he almost dropped his journal in the water. “There are all kinds of things the kids get to experience,” he said. “It’s really just a lovely experience.” He was one of few artists who attended the trips. More planned to join, but COVID-19 forced them to change plans. The paintings in the show feature locations NatureTrack often visits, like the Carpinteria Bluffs and Hendry’s Beach. Usually they hold an opening reception and display their work at Faulkner Gallery, but this show is online at oakgroup.org. Mr. Hunter likes that potential buyers have a lot of time to view the paintings online, but he misses connecting with the community and seeing his fellow artists. “It’s really nice for people to see the paintings in person and socialize around them,” Oak Group artist Marcia Burtt said. “We really miss that, seeing the paintings in relation to each other.” The 25 members of the Oak Group are good friends and enjoy their outings together. “The great part of this group is the camaraderie,” Oak Group cofounder Arturo Tello said. “We get to share a commitment for the land that we love and the medium that we’re working with and, in

a way, be an activist and make a difference.” Linda Mutti thinks the group has a longstanding tradition because of its members’ bond. “There’s a singular purpose they all love: it’s to preserve our lands and our environment,” she said. “There’s something special about going out to these places you love and want to preserve.” Mr. Tello and Ray Strong formed Oak Group in 1986 after reading “Depths of Glory,” a novel about Camille Pissaro and his group of painters that defined impressionism. They created their own group of friends with a passion for landscape painting. Mr. Tello didn’t think the group would become so large, but he did know they were onto something special. “In a way, I must have had an idea that our group of friends could have some sort of impact,” he said. The Oak Group became an inspiration for other American artists. “We were the first in the country to do this, but when we were

discovered by American artists a few years after we started, groups started springing up,” Ms. Burtt said. They’ve kept the group small so they can remain an organization of friends, ungoverned by rules and rigid systems. They all contribute as artists and nature enthusiasts. “When you stand and do your painting outside, you spend hours standing and doing your painting. It’s different from hiking through,” Ms. Burtt said. “We can show people places they’ve never seen or maybe they haven’t seen it through our eyes, the eyes of someone who loves the place.” They have a variety of styles and perspectives. They each have preferred mediums, and there’s even a photographer, Bill Dewey, in the group. “We get a chance to interpret the landscape in 25 different ways and give people an option of seeing how we interpret that particular scene,” Mr. Hunter said. Ms. Mutti was a fan of the Oak Group for years before being invited to join, which she

describes as a “bucket-list thing.” “There’s a lot of support from the community, and a lot of people, myself included, that have followed the Oak Group for many, many years who really get behind the issues at hand: the preservation of our land and the beauty of the area,” she said. “It’s great to be a part of saving that, and I think the community appreciates it.” Mr. Tello said Santa Barbara is a great hub for them because of “the beauty of the land, and the public is very environmentally aware.” He feels supported by the community and hopes that the virtual show will prove successful. “The Link Between Man and Nature” features work from 21 of the Oak Group’s artists. The pieces are available to view online, and buyers can schedule a time to see them in person. The show is open until Dec. 31 at oakgroup.org/the-link-betweenman-and-nature. email: ahanshaw@newspress.com

Linda Mutti paints using oil pastels at Devereux Beach in Isla Vista. She calls herself an Oak Group “newbie,” having joined three years ago.

Companies compete in End Hunger Games

New Land Trust executive director aims to conserve to improve the quality of life

By GERRY FALL NEWS-PRESS STAFF WRITER

The Foodbank of Santa Barbara County’s 2020 End Hunger Games Corporate Challenge kicked off Nov. 1 with eight local companies participating in the month-long competition. Teams are competing to see who can raise the most funds, donate the most food, provide the greatest number of volunteer hours, and offer the most social media attention to the cause of making sure everyone in Santa Barbara County who needs healthy food can receive it. Teams earn points based on cash and food donations, volunteer hours worked and social media posts promoting the Foodbank. “The goal of the End Hunger Games is for participating team members to gain a deeper understanding of hunger in our community and the work we do at the Foodbank,” said Nathalie Keller, Foodbank senior development manager. “By volunteering, fundraising and donating food, we’re hoping that employees become Foodbank ambassadors.” The Foodbank welcomes the following businesses as participants in the 2020 End Hunger Games: Amazon, Belmond

Meredith Hendricks’ family has lived in Santa Barbara since the 1870s. While born and raised in the Bay area, she’s coming to the county with 20 years of experience as the new executive director of the Land Trust of Santa Barbara County. In San Francisco, she expanded parks and access to recreation including developing portions of the Bay trail, creating new neighborhood parks and renovating them and conserving land on and around Mount Diablo in Contra Costa County. “A lot of the king of the land that is on Mount Diablo is reflected here in Santa Barbara, with really complex ecological communities, a high demand for recreation and historic agriculture,” Ms. Hendricks told the News-Press. “So I’m very thrilled to be here and apply what I’ve learned there in Santa Barbara County.” She spent seven years as the director of Land Programs at the nationally accredited land trust, Save Mount Diablo. Ms. Hendricks also created the Dr. Mary Bowerman Science and Research Program, which provides small grants to students for research and projects on Save Mount Diablo’s properties and protected land network. On top of that, the environmental steward helped expand the regional Marsh Creek Trail network and helped resolve the 40-year long fight to protect the last 95 acres of historic Anderson Ranch from subdivision, thereby preserving it. “I think Santa Barbara County has some of the best potential to protect agriculture, assemble recreation opportunities and preserve habitats,” Ms. Hendricks said. “In all of California, this is an incredibly special place. “The climate here, the relationship between the coast going inland up and over several

mountain ranges, the rolling oak woodlands. This county literally has it all in terms of what makes California the best place in the world to live.” She said that she can see that people love living in Santa Barbara County because they all have their favorite places to spend time outside, and she wants to keep that true for their kids, grandkids and generations to come. The Land Trust is currently working on finalizing as many as 10 conservation easements, conserving upwards of 15,000 acres of land in the county by the end of next summer. This brings the organization’s total conserved acreage to 45,000. The new executive director added that the Land Trust is looking at opportunities to preserve sections of the Gaviota Coast and ways to make more meaningful connections with

North County, including Santa Maria and the Santa Ynez Valley. “I think conservation links directly to all of our quality of life,” Ms. Hendricks said. “When you think about everyone having access to clean air, clean water and areas to spend time with their family and destress and exercise.” “I think it’s important from an economic perspective,” she continued. “Areas that protect land and have lots of parks and open space have higher property value and more thriving communities. For me, conservation sits at the intersection between open space and habitat, but also the quality of life and a thriving community.” To learn more about the Land Trust’s projects, visit https://www. sblandtrust.org. email: gmccormick@newspress. com

SANTA BARBARA NEWS-PRESS

“The way to get things done is not to mind who gets the credit for doing them.� — Benjamin Jowett

ARIES — Your intuition should be very high right now, Aries, as is your power of manifestation. Today you need to try to curb your thoughts and only think beautiful things, because you might find that whatever you think about seems to manifest! Some powerful dreams and visions can open up new lines of intellectual exploration for you that can have a potent effect on your immediate future. Go to it. TAURUS — Your immediate goals and wishes might suddenly appear to come together today, seemingly of their own accord. This might be strange, Taurus, and perhaps a bit frightening, but your inner power is especially strong now, and your higher self is manifesting what you’ve worked long and hard to achieve. At times like this, it’s important to remember those who helped you along the way. You will want to acknowledge them as well as yourself. GEMINI — If you’ve been working toward manifesting extra money in your life, Gemini, you will probably see it happen today. Copious physical and emotional energy gives your inner power of mind over matter a special impetus, and you might see the results you’ve wanted in finance and other matters. Professional interests should also be going well, as well as any personal projects. Keep up the good work! CANCER — Obstacles that you encountered in attaining your cherished goals could suddenly seem to melt away, clearing the way to make your dreams come true, Cancer. This could involve physical health, plans for future travel and education, and self-expression. You could also feel especially passionate now, so a romantic evening with that special someone would be particularly enjoyable. You feel great, so look your best, too! LEO — A lot of activity could occur at home today, Leo. Perhaps you will have visitors or do some work on the house. Your intuition is particularly strong right now, and you could pick up too much of the thoughts and feelings of others, even strangers. You will probably be most in tune with your family. Take care to guard your thoughts. Today you might find that whatever you think of could actually manifest. VIRGO — Whatever goals you’ve been trying to reach may finally become reality today, Virgo. Finalizing everything could involve a lot of running around in the car and meeting with other people, but you’re likely to feel exhilarated all the same. Powerful people could prove to be of valuable help to you. +*#!2 +1$)"$As a result, matters should be going

very well right now. Make the most of it! LIBRA — Events over which you seem to have no control seem to be coming together to make things happen for you, Libra. You might find this a bit frightening, but don’t let it get to you. Go with the flow. You’ve worked hard for what’s happening today, and you deserve to enjoy the results. The exhilaration you feel could manifest as abundant physical energy. This could be too much of a good thing. Don’t overdo. SCORPIO — Your energy is probably high today, almost to the point where you feel you might be able to run a marathon! Seriously, Scorpio, you’re probably thinking in terms of getting out of town for a while. Exercising or participating in solo sports could also be appealing. You might direct some of this energy into creative projects. Take care not to overdo it. You could still get too tired. SAGITTARIUS — Your inner power is probably at an all-time high, Sagittarius. You should be feeling especially confident. You’re likely to have a stronger influence on others than usual. You could exercise the power of mind over matter. You could think of something only to have it happen at some point during the day. Today you should guard your thoughts and be careful what you wish for. You just might get it! CAPRICORN — Some fascinating conversations with friends, relatives, and others close to you could take place today, bringing new ideas your way, Capricorn. You have both the physical energy and the inner power to make things happen, so you should make the most of it. Carefully consider your needs and aspirations and formulate a plan of action to make them a reality. The results might surprise you! AQUARIUS — Your career and financial goals should be within your grasp, Aquarius. Both your physical energy and inner power are operating at their peak, making this an ideal day to make clear plans. Also, if you’ve been working to improve your health, you might see some definite results. If not, this is a great day to start a new health and exercise regimen. Go to it! PISCES — Today you’re likely to feel like the powerful creature you are, Pisces. Your physical energy is high, and you look and feel great. Your intellect is sharp, so if you indulge in any kind of learning process, you will benefit greatly. Your creative energy is also high, so it’s a good day to work on artistic projects. In the evening, you will feel especially romantic, so plan an intimate encounter with a special someone!

At top left, Variant founder and physical therapist Dr. Maury Hayashida stretches out Forrest Galante, who trains for mountain climbing, diving and hiking to find animals thought to be extinct. At top right, so far on Forrest Galante’s TV show “Extinct or Alive� on Animal Planet, he discovered two animal species thought to be extinct to be alive: the Zanzibar Leopard and the Fernandina Tortoise. In addition, he found six other species not presumed to be extinct but haven’t been seen in a long time, including a species of monkey, sharks and more. At left, “It’s great because every single expedition is so different — one’s in the Arctic, one’s in the jungle, one’s in the desert — that we have to prepare and train differently, so I’m very fortunate to have the resources of this place to fix me when I get back and help me get ready for the next one,� Mr. Galante said.

Continued from Page A1 spearfishing club and has a home and a boat in Santa Barbara. He scored one of the highest primate survival ratings on Discovery’s “Naked and Afraid� in 2014, and now has his own show “Extinct or Alive,� which follows Mr. Galante as he travels the globe in a search for animals he believes have wrongfully been deemed extinct. So far, he discovered two animal species thought to be extinct to be alive: the Zanzibar Leopard and the Fernandina Tortoise. In addition, he found six other species not presumed to be extinct but haven’t been seen in a long time, including a species of monkey, sharks and more. With this adventurous lifestyle outdoors, spending weeks and sometimes months on expeditions diving, mountain climbing, hiking through jungles and canoeing down rivers, Mr. Galante is subject to many injuries. “I think I’ve broken 11 bones

now in total,� he said. “It’s great because every single expedition is so different — one’s in the Arctic, one’s in the jungle, one’s in the desert — that we have to prepare and train differently, so I’m very fortunate to have the resources of this place to fix me when I get back and help me get ready for the next one.� He first limped into Variant Training Lab with a torn groin after an expedition in South Africa. Through mobility, flexibility and strength training and help recovering and healing from trainers at Variant, Mr. Galante was and has been able to bounce back from his long expeditions. “Something we care about a lot here is how you actually move, because movement does matter,� Jacob Trapp, Mr. Galante’s trainer, told the News-Press. “A lot of times, what you’ll see in a general gym is someone doing the movement and focusing on the beginning and getting to the end, but we actually care what happens in between, because those are the things that are correlated with injury.� Mr. Trapp said that when the TV

personality feels pain, he and the other trainers have him do specific movements to relieve that pain. “I focus on making sure that when he does do my exercises, he’s doing them in a healthy way,� he said. “The most important thing is that he’s moving correctly.� Now, Mr. Galante trains once, and sometimes twice, every day five days a week, and said he wakes up with more energy than he used to. The lab was established by Dr. Maury Hayashida, a local physical therapist, clinical motor behaviorist, researcher and adjunct professor. He cultivated the “Test, Treat, Train� motto for Variant, which combines strength capabilities, injury treatment and movement optimization. “We only know what we measure,� Dr. Hayashida told the News-Press. “That was the vision coming in. If exercise is medicine as they say, it’s best to prescribe it.� Because of that, he said physicians first examine an individual, then hold lab tests based on that data and design a

custom program for the trainee. “His (Mr. Galante’s) charisma and his personality is really the epitome of life for us. He’s living a full life,� the doctor continued. “We’re all physical beings and this is our vessel to experience it. Our goal is to optimize longevity and performance of the body.� While COVID-19 put a slight halt on Mr. Galante’s adventures, only allowing for three endeavors, he anticipates it will kick back up in 2021, and all his training throughout the pandemic will make him ready for anything. “I feel very fortunate that a place like this exists within Santa Barbara where I know I can come to increase mobility, flexibility, strength and train, recover and heal,� he said.

Lake Cachuma gains 4,000 pounds of rainbow trout By GRAYCE MCCORMICK NEWS-PRESS STAFF WRITER

Santa Barbara County Parks, in cooperation with the California Department of Fish and Wildlife, was granted a Private Stocking Permit for up to 16,000 pounds of triploid rainbow trout for 2020-21. The first 4,000 pounds arrived in late October, and the second delivery came just in time for Veterans Day. “With COVID now, with so many closures to places we are familiar with, it’s an option that’s really safe and it promotes good health,� Rosey Bishop, the park naturalist for Santa Barbara County parks, told the News-Press. “You’re outside in the fresh air, you’re catching potentially a really healthy food item to eat and it’s somewhat exercise walking to the boat.� Ms. Bishop is based at Lake Cachuma and said that every time fish are planted there it brings a lot of attention to the lake. “It’s a bonding experience for people,� she continued. “We see friends out, we see boyfriends and girlfriends, husbands and wives, kids and their grandparents and all the family groups. “It’s always just a positive experience even when people don’t catch fish,� Ms. Bishop said. “It’s just a fun outdoor activity where people can now socially distance and be completely on their own. It’s very good for our community, especially right now, and it also

provides a little bit of normalcy.� Veterans who served in the United States Armed Forces or reserves can buy an annual pass for $10, which is good for one year from the date of purchase and allows access to Cachuma Recreation Area and Jalama Beach County parks during daylight hours. The Cachuma Lake Marina and Boat Rentals has fishing equipment available for rent or purchase, along with pontoons, outboards, kayak rentals and oneday and annual fishing licenses. Fishing from the shore in the recreation area or from a boat is open year-round with a valid fishing license. Due to the 30-day Quagga restrictions at the lake, those bringing their own boating vessels must have them inspected and tagged by Lake Cachuma staff at least 30 days prior to visiting. The lake allows same-day launching for kayaks, canoes and “simple boats.� Vessel requirements and launching protocols can be found at https://www.countyofsb.org/parks/ cachumaboating.sbc. In addition, COVID-19 rules and guidelines are posted throughout the park. For up-to-date fishing tips and summaries, visit the Cachuma Lake Weekly Fishing Report at www.countyofsb.org/parks/ cachumafishing.sbc. email: gmccormick@newspress.com

Santa Barbara Zoo announces birth of lion cub By GRAYCE MCCORMICK NEWS-PRESS STAFF WRITER

With great “pride,� the Santa Barbara Zoo announced the birth of an African Lion Cub on Thursday, the first African lion born at the Zoo since 2005. The Zoo’s African lion, Felicia, gave birth to the cub on Nov. 5, and the two are currently bonding together behind the scenes. Felicia and Ralph, the cub’s father, arrived at the Santa Barbara Zoo just six months prior. At its first medical examination, the cub weighed 3.9 lbs., and the sex will be determined at its next examination. Felicia and the cub won’t make their public debut for another eight weeks and the cub’s name will be announced in the coming weeks. Lion pregnancies only last approximately 110 days, and zoo staff members were strongly suspicious Felicia was pregnant based on her physical changes and fecal hormone analysis.

These hormone levels cannot be determined until 60 days after mating due to the possibility of a pseudo-pregnancy, but if the hormone levels are still elevated 60 to 70 days after mating, then the pregnancy can be confirmed. The Association of Zoos and Aquariums recommended the pairing of Felicia and Ralph as part of its Species Survival Plan to maintain a sustainable population of lions in North America. The Zoo invites the public to donate to become a Foster Feeder sponsor of the African lion. New Foster Feeders at all levels will receive a personalized digital Foster Feeder certificate including the honoree’s name and lion photo, and recognition on the Foster Feeder board at the zoo. For more information or to become a Foster Feeder, visit https://sbzoo.pivvit.com/africanlion. email: gmccormick@newspress.com

Continued from Page A1 the nonprofit Heal the Ocean, which facilitated the well capping project moving forward by providing the necessary studies and consulting for the California State Lands Commission to approve of the project. Ms. Hauser said that the Treadwell oil well is a particularly difficult one to cap because it lies hunkered in an earthquake vault, so it leaks whenever the earth shakes. To address this problem, the barge operated by InterAct is piledriving 92 feet into the sea floor to pump cement into the well. When the earth shakes, the material plugging the well will re-solidify. According to a Heal the Ocean newsletter, many of the abandoned wells date back to the 1930s when wildcatters flocked to the Central Coast during the “oil rush� and poked holes wherever they could find oil.

Workers weld a pipe during efforts Thursday to cap the Treadwell oil well, one of two leaking oil wells near Lookout Park off of the Summerland coast.

Sen. Jackson remarked that these wildcatters didn’t get any permits when attempting to harvest oil or have any ground rules to follow

The locations of 12 still infectious cases are pending. A total of 22 of the cases reported Thursday were in the 1829 age range, 15 were in the 30-49 age range, six were in the 50-69 age range, two were in the 0-17 age range, and another two were 70 years old or older. Santa Barbara County has conducted 215,984 COVID-19 tests thus far. Of those, 204,580 have been negative, 10,339 have been positive, 598 have been inconclusive, 201 are pending, and 266 have been invalid. Some 6,230 of the county’s cases have been symptomatic, 1,055 have been asymptomatic, 2,895 are of unknown symptomatic status, and 159 are under investigation. email: jgrega@newspress.com

when doing so. Many wildcatters also lacked sufficient resources to fund their oil harvesting and would plug them in makeshift ways. “Rather than cap them, they would throw tree stumps or rags down the well and walk away,� she said. She added that some of these abandoned wells were owned by companies that have since gone bankrupt. Once the Treadwell oil well is capped, the barge will move on to another well. “We want to do as much work as we can on this,� Ms. Hauser said. “After Treadwell, which is a big job, it will move in closer to shore and get the well that is NorthStar. And NorthStar is just a big mess.� When the project receives another $2 million for well capping during the 2021 budget year, the next well expected to be plugged is Duquesne. email: jgrega@newspress.com

Staff members have been working with schools to create engineering experiences for elementary students, as COVID19 has suspended field trips to the facility. “I think we see that now more than ever, the understanding of science is incredibly important, and so the more of a role that we can play in helping our community with that learning and understanding, the better,� she said.

My beloved husband of 59 years left me on November 8 to join our Lord and Savior in Heaven. He was born in Youngstown, Ohio on September 2, 1938 to Ralph and Teresa (Schwellinger) Hersman. His loving baby sister, Kathryn was born in 1942. After graduating High School he joined the Army; then spent a short time working in the steel mills. He grew tired of that very quickly. He came to California in 1959 and vowed to never live where a palm tree could not grow. He went to work for the telephone company where he met his future wife, LaDene. We moved to Santa Barbara where we started our family by welcoming a daughter, Kathleen. Dave applied to the Santa Barbara County Sheriff ’s department and was hired as a Deputy in 1963. He at last found his dream job. He attended every school and class that was offered and excelled in all of them. When he had enough tenure, he took the Detective’s test. He got the promotion and was off and running. At this time, we moved to Solvang where we welcomed our second child, a son we named Mark. As time went on, he progressed through the ranks. He made Sergeant, Lieutenant, and ultimately, Commander. He attended the FBI academy and taught criminal law at Allan Hancock College for five years. Upon his retirement, he was honored by notables from President Clinton, the FBI, Santa Maria Police Department and Guadalupe Police Department. The honors that meant the most to him were the ones given by his colleagues and co-workers. He felt that he had worked thirty-five years for the finest department in the land. After his retirement in 1998, he enjoyed fellowship with his longtime friends, Kent Doyle, Tom Gee, Norm Horsley and others. They could be seen playing disc golf in Waller Park and then having coffee at the “A� Street Cafe. Dave and LaDene were long time members of Lutheran Church of Our Savior where they enjoyed doing volunteer duties and building wonderful memories of fellowship with their church family. Dave was preceded in death by his Mom and Dad and sister, Kathryn. He is survived by his wife LaDene; son, Mark (Amy) Hersman; daughter Kathy Grimm (Donald Grimm Jr.); grandchildren, Rob Lester, Jake Lester, Matt Lester, and Audrey Hersman; and his brother-in-law Don Hawkins. He is also survived by step granddaughter Jessica Gray (Jordan) and step grandson Donald Grimm III (Kendra) and one step great grandson, Julian Gray. Due to the Covid 19 virus, there will be no funeral. In lieu of flowers, donations to the Good Samaritan Shelter or any charity of choice would be appreciated.

PLACK, Erika Erika Plack passed away as peacefully as she lived on October 10, 2020 in the presence of her children, while residing at Belmont Village of Burbank. Erika, the youngest of four children was born in Hollywood, California on March 20, 1929, the first day of spring. Erika is survived by her children Heidi Matthews, Peter Edwards, Jeff Edwards, Anni Atkinson, Tony Edwards, 12 grandchildren and 3 great-grandchildren. Erika and her family moved to Santa Barbara in 1930 where she attended Santa Barbara High School and Santa Barbara City College. She became an X-ray Technician at Cottage Hospital, and married Peter Edwards on December 2, 1950. They raised 5 children while living on Las Tunas Road in the foothills of Santa Barbara. On August 23, 1986 Erika married Alvin Plack and as Erika liked to say, “I lived happily ever after.� Erika and Al traveled for many years together while remaining involved in their many activities. She was an avid backpacker, baker and tennis player. Erika was a member of the Santa Barbara Art Association and served as its president in 1980. She was best known for her oil landscape paintings and exhibited her paintings at the De Silva Gallery and the Arlington Gallery. Erika was one of the founding seven members of the Oak Group who painted landscapes along the California coast as well as the Channel Islands. The Oak group raised money for the Nature Conservancy with art shows portraying the vanishing landscapes in the Santa Barbara area. Erika also enjoyed lifetime friendships with her high school sorority friends. Her greatest joys were her children and her garden. She would spend countless hours nurturing a beautiful garden at her home in Santa Barbara. In her last five years she enjoyed many Sundays visiting the La Canada Descanso Gardens. Erika’s humor and joy for life will be greatly missed.

PARKS, Edward, Jr.

Edward Parks Jr., 68, was suddenly called home to be with his Lord and Savior Jesus Christ on March 16, 2020. His cause of death was an unknown health condition. Ed was born in Brooklyn, N.Y. on May 29, 1951 to Edward Parks Sr. and Annie B. Davidson-Parks. The Parks family was originally from North Carolina and had moved with Ed’s paternal grandmother to Hollister, CA, before Ed was born. Ed’s mother, Annie, decided their family should join her sister in Brooklyn, NY, where Ed was born. At age 11, Ed and his family returned to Hollister. Ed was a standout athlete at San Benito High School, MVP and captain of the varsity tennis team, graduating in 1970. He attended Gavilan College in Gilroy, CA, and was active in ROTC at Gavilan and after he transferred to the University of CA at Santa Barbara. Christian faith was central to Ed’s life and for most of his adult life; he was an active member of El Camino Presbyterian Church in Goleta, starting upon his arrival as a UCSB student. Ed became a trustee and deacon in the church and was always ready to help those in need. Ed was a tireless worker, starting as an orderly at Santa Barbara Cottage Hospital. He founded AA Towing in the 1980s and was a genius with engine repair. Alcohol abuse and life difficulties led to a short stint in state prison. The Lord used this trial to enable Ed to regain his Christian priorities and he witnessed and preached the gospel to his fellow inmates. Recently Ed worked for Ditec Manufacturing in Carpinteria helping build precision tools used by medical and surgical clients. Ed loved classical music, the 49ers, horses and dogs. Ed was a faithful, loving and encouraging friend to many, and is already greatly missed. He is pre-deceased by his parents and his only brother, Ben Parks, and is survived by one nephew and three nieces. In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to the El Camino Church deacons’ fund.

is selling raffle tickets until Dec. 7 for a chance to have a virtual meeting with musical artist and Dos Pueblos High School alumna Katy Perry, who recently purchased a home in Montecito. The winner will schedule a Zoom call and receive a basket of her favorite things. Tickets are $100 a piece and help MOXI continue its programming. Dr. Gose hopes the museum can help bring some fun to the community amidst the pandemic. “Even the adults who are bringing the kids here, last week and now this week, they’re having a great time. They’re getting out of the house, and they’re playing at MOXI too because MOXI is fun for all ages,� she said. As she gave a tour of the roof (complete with views of Stearns Wharf and vast views of the mountains), a staff member in charge of sanitizing the rooftop exhibits played. Thunk, thunk. She tapped wind pipes with a paddle making a tune.
