Goleta mayoral race Playgrounds open with guidelines

ELECTION 2020

Candidate Roger Aceves devotes life to public service

NEWS-PRESS STAFF WRITER

When playgrounds opened, Erica Urech cautiously brought her two kids equipped with face masks and hand sanitizer. It was relaxed at first, just a couple families around. Then, she saw an overwhelming group of what she thinks was outof-state tourists take over the slides. And no one was wearing masks.

Editor’s note: This is part of a News-Press series on local candidates. The series will continue Tuesday with a look at the congressional race. Profiles of the state Senate candidates will be published on Wednesday.

“Excuse me, did you pack masks to wear?” she asked them. She just received a rude glare. So, she and the other couple of parents packed up and left with their kids. Sunday, she felt irritated again as she saw parents without masks. But, she stayed at her picnic table and periodically spritzed her kids’ hands with sanitizer.

Stepping into the home of Roger Aceves is akin to browsing a Goleta and Santa Barbara-based art collection. Every wall is covered in paintings, from detailed watercolors of Goleta Beach and the Santa Barbara Mission to antique prizes from local auctions and Santa Barbara-themed keepsakes. Mr. Aceves and his wife, Debby, have collected these local treasures over their 44 years of marriage and have been using them to decorate their home in Goleta since 1982. While always supporting locally, the couple also makes sure to save their pennies as they do it. “If we can’t afford to buy something for our home, we don’t

If we cannot afford to do it, we shouldn’t do it.” This is his main focus in his run for Goleta mayor, looking to replace sitting Mayor Paula Perotte. Mr. Aceves has spent his entire career serving the region, which includes 32 years working in law enforcement, 14 years on Goleta City Council and 42 years for Santa Barbara Elks Lodge which he now chairs on the Board of Trustees and his time as a former governor’s appointee to the Please see ACEVES on A8

SB City Council to discuss promenade improvements By GRAYCE MCCORMICK NEWS-PRESS STAFF WRITER

Mr. Aceves has four main priorities: supporting local businesses, fixing aging infrastructure, improving parks and open spaces and ending the Revenue Neutrality Agreement, which has required Goleta to pay more than $100 million in sales tax revenue to the County of Santa Barbara.

Mayor Paula Perotte runs for second term By GRAYCE MCCORMICK NEWS-PRESS STAFF WRITER

Goleta Mayor Paula Perotte is running for a second term this year, as she seeks to preserve the city’s small-town feel and support its small businesses. The 40-year resident of Goleta was elected to City Council in 2010 and elected as mayor in 2018. However, local government is only a small fraction of the wide variety of work the mayor has done in her lifetime. Mayor Perotte worked for the Santa Barbara Community Action Commission, where she helped parents of special needs children obtain their necessary services. Prior to that, she worked at her family’s high-tech business, waited tables at Joe’s Cafe, had a home business as a pie maker, drove a bus and spent 15 years working with the Parent Teachers Association at local and state levels. She and her husband, Peter, raised two daughters in Goleta and are “happily spoiling” their two grandsons, Colton and Dakota. As mayor of Goleta, she told the News-Press some of her proudest accomplishments include: moving forward with a new fire station; keeping Goleta’s crime rate among the lowest in the state; removing

Venoco’s Ellwood Oil Processing facility at Haskell’s Beach; increasing public participation and transparency in city government; and funding Goleta Old Town improvements. Mayor Perotte said she will continue to protect businesses and residents from evictions and foreclosures, and support restaurants with a “Goleta on the Go” campaign. “Our Economic Development Committee is forming a plan specifically to help local businesses during and after the pandemic,” Mayor Perotte told the News-Press in an email. “In the meantime, we have enacted safety measures so that local businesses can reopen partially or fully as soon as possible. We will continue to improve our quality of life and public safety so that people are attracted to visit, work and shop here.” She said that economic consequences of the pandemic have affected the timing of some of her plans to improve streets, parking, crosswalks and sidewalks for pedestrians, cyclists and drivers. However, she intends to accelerate road repair, bike paths and other infrastructure improvements. In addition, the mayor wants to continue efforts to attract businesses that provide clean, well-paying jobs. “We want to support current local Please see PEROTTE on A8

Goleta Mayor Paula Perotte is running for a second term. She intends on preserving the city’s small-town feel and supporting its small businesses.

The Santa Barbara City Council will meet Tuesday and discuss installing interim intersection delineators and lighting for the State Street promenade. The closure of the State Street area to promote economic recovery for downtown businesses successfully stimulated vitality to the downtown, according to the staff report. However, the State Street Subcommittee is looking toward the future of the promenade, and looking to replace the construction barricades and borrowed plantings. “Although not permanent, the interim intersection control could look less like a construction detour and more appropriate to the aesthetic and commercial feel of State Street,” the staff report reads. “Additionally, the existing construction barricades are not effective at channelizing bicyclists and pedestrians, which are now sharing the roadway section. Finally, the lighting on the roadway section of Downtown State Street is not designed for people and activities. The interim promenade could use more lighting within the roadway section.” The council will receive a recommendation from the subcommittee to approve the installation of interim intersection delineators and lighting to last until a permanent design is determined. The subcommittee suggested large terracotta pots, iron-looking traffic delineators, a green bike path and string lighting

in addition to the Holiday tree lighting starting Nov. 1. In other business, the council will be asked to approve a Mobilehome Park Overlay Zone and re-establish Mobilehome Park Vacancy Rent Control, in order to protect existing mobile home parks from redevelopment to other uses. Santa Barbara has seven existing mobile home parks with a total of 333 units. “These parks are unique communities that provide residents with affordable housing, including housing for low-income seniors,” the staff report reads. “During the AUD Program assessment … both the Planning Commission and City Council requested additional protections for mobilehome parks following the removal of the parking incentive. The proposed amendments provide those protections.” The Overlay Zone would limit the allowed uses in the seven existing parks to mobile homes, permanent recreational vehicles and accessory uses. The Ordinance Committee also requests re-establishing vacancy controls over rental rates for mobilehome parks, which limits the amount a park owner can increase rents when a mobile home owner sells their home. City staff found that this Overlay Zone is consistent with the city’s General Plan, will not result in environmental impacts, encourages retention of existing structures and the maximum potential of material lifespans, and reduces waste associated with demolition and redevelopment.

‘Naked Porcelain’

COURTESY PHOTOS

“My exhibition involves abstract, conceptual, translucent porcelain sculpture on and off the wall,” said Joan Rosenberg-Dent, the Montecito artist behind “Naked Porcelain . . . Splat on the Wall!”

Montecito artist deals with ‘new reality’ in virtual show By MARILYN MCMAHON

NEWS-PRESS STAFF WRITER

oan Rosenberg-Dent is a visual artist who has been forced to adapt to a new reality of finding ways to share her work with the public because of the pandemic. “Traditionally, art galleries have provided this venue. However, this is no longer a viable option as galleries have either closed or have limited hours. Despite

this, very few people will consider going indoors, even where galleries extended their hours,” the Montecito resident told the News-Press. “Since we have all had to shelter in place since March, it has allowed me a greater amount of time to create a massive amount of new work, yet I was unable to share it. This stimulated me to search for new technology to reach my audience.” In her research, Mrs. Rosenberg-Dent discovered an online gallery that allows her

work to be “present in the absent.” Artavita, which is based in Santa Barbara, was created by a team of international gallery owners and artists to design a space where artists can come together and display their work in a way it was meant to be seen on screen. This is where she has curated and installed her new abstract pieces in a solo show with the intriguing title of “Naked Porcelain . . . Splat on the Wall!” “My exhibition involves abstract, conceptual, translucent porcelain sculpture on and off the wall. The pieces are conceived as concepts and presented as abstract sculptures,” explains the artist in the introductory text for her show. “My work is inspired by music, dance, architecture and nature. I work mostly in unglazed porcelain, allowing for translucency and whiteness. “Tension between forms, line, color and materials amplify the work while shadows create depth and become part of the piece. I enjoy the repetition and variations of creating multiple, similar forms in a piece. My background in dance allows awareness of the space around each element and the patterns created. “I become the choreographer, and the forms are the dancers. I work intuitively, allowing the clay to fall off my fingers while my subconscious forms the piece, when listening to music. The tempo of the music Please see ART SHOW on A4

“I had the hands-on task of deciding where my 30 pieces should be hung as well as labeling, pricing, writing descriptions, etc. in creating my vision of the show,” Mrs. Rosenberg-Dent said.

There’s a lot of history in old baby rattles COURTESY PHOTOS

.M. sends me a simple little silver item with three bells to the end, and a whistle to the top, about 4 inches long, slightly chewed upon, and he asks “what is it?” He was surprised to receive an email from me: S.M., it is a baby rattle, from the mid-19th century. These days, we do not give such small things to youngsters, but they were a sign of prestige and thought to ward off evil in the 18th century when they first came into vogue. In children’s portraiture (popular from 1835 to 1845), we often see a baby (more than likely a baby boy; girls were not important enough to warrant a portrait, unless noble) holding a silver stick-like figure, very ornately decorated and showy, and sometimes we will see a small stick of coral at the end of these. Some have a circular end. They look like miniature jester poles, with bells that fly off a bulbous top, and a lower level of jingle bells, followed by a row of little pendant balls filled with something that makes a rattling noise. Somewhere on these baby toys, you will also see a whistle in the shaft, usually on the end of the rattle, and usually these are flattened by young gums and unplayable. The circular thing was for a ribbon, used to tie the rattle around the baby’s neck. Doubly dangerous but often done! People who have never seen such a thing often wonder about the spike of coral, irregular and organic looking, which pokes from the bottom. The coral end serves two purposes — one practical and one mythical. Coral has a smooth and hard graduated surface and was naturally useful for teething purposes. But people in the late 18th through the early 20th centuries believed that coral, the color of blood, was a protection against illness and evil. Coral jewelry, for this reason, was given as gifts, and grown people also wore coral, especially in the Victorian era, when a fad for naturalistic jewelry reigned. Regarding S.M.’s rattle, it looks

Nurse navigators provide care The Dignity Health Cancer Care oncology nurse navigators are continuing their care for patients undergoing cancer treatment during the pandemic. Gloria Caine, R.N.; Carol Dichmann, R.N., B.N.S., and Julie Nieggemann, R.N.., M.S.N.,

are playing a crucial role for the patients by transitioning to a virtual platform for communication and support. The nurses understand the need to connect with patients during the time of uncertainty. Their dedication to the patients shows through adapting and overcoming obstacles during COVID-19. “No one should face cancer

alone, so we wanted to be there for them,” said Ms. Caine, R.N., oncology nurse navigator at French Hospital Medical Center’s Hearst Cancer Resource Center. To learn more about the work these nurses do, visit dignityhealth.org/central-coast/ services/cancer-care/nursenavigator. — Grayce McCormick

to be silver, but the rattle is too heavy in construction to be anything but silver plate. Silver plate was the middleclass answer to the baby rattle in pure sterling favored by the upper classes: for the well born children of the nobility, the baby sported a solid gold rattle. The wealthy of Regency England and the American Federal period parents purchased these rattles in sterling or gold, not usually engraved, for the male child, for two reasons — again, one practical and the other mythical. Silver and gold are naturally germicidal, and, mythically speaking, bear the color of the sun and the moon, respectively. Good protection against the darkness of evil, so it was thought. I have known collectors of children’s precious metal rattles spanning 1750-1890, collected from England, and also from America. In Europe, the style of rattles was more naturalistic; some European rattles were made of horn filled with shot, held upon a wooden stick. However, baby rattles were popular, through all classes of people, for generations.

The top of the heap in terms of value for collectors is an early 18th century sterling rattle in great condition, with a nice long spike of coral, and many bells and whistles. In fact, that is where that expression comes from: the finer the rattle, the more bells and whistles!

The top of the heap in terms of value for collectors is an early 18th century sterling rattle in great condition, with a nice long spike of coral, and many bells and whistles. In fact, that is where that expression comes from: the finer the rattle, the more bells and whistles! Another style that came later in the realm of expensive baby gifts was the Christening mug, and this was a Victorian invention, and usually engraved upon sterling, and the style continues to this day. You can order a Tiffany baby mug in sterling for $575. Folks who collect these antique christening or birthday mugs find that condition is everything, as they usually were dropped many times over, and dented severely. As is the case with all children’s objects, condition is paramount. Next time you are in a worldclass museum, take a look at the portraiture of the child or the noble family with a baby, and you will no doubt see something in silver, rather frightening looking, with a red spike end. That’s the baby rattle. Collectors will pay up to $1,500 for a sterling rattle from the Georges period (George I through the IV) if they collect English rattles, and American collectors will pay much more, as they were rare in this young country, and usually commissioned by early American silversmiths. The value of S.M.’s rattle is $150 and could be worth more to him if he had a relative that did the chewing.

Her work is in several permanent museum collections including The Detroit Institute of Art, University of Michigan Museum of Art, Canton Art Institute and the Renwick Gallery of the Smithsonian Institution and Westmont Ridley-Tree Museum of Art. Her show, which can be viewed at www.artavita.com, is scheduled to close Nov. 13 but may be extended. “I had the hands-on task of deciding where my 30 pieces should be hung as well as labeling, pricing, writing descriptions, etc. in creating my vision of the show,” said Mrs. Rosenberg-Dent. “This is one way I have adapted to this unprecedented situation to keep engaging others with the aesthetic and energy of my work.” According to the artist, the viewer “enters the gallery and walks on a virtual tour, almost as if one were in a physical gallery. You have the option of pausing in front of a piece, going back to a previous work and reading the labels as you pass through the gallery.” On the labels are the names of each piece with a brief explanation about the title. For example, “There’s Always One,” a 24-by-24 inch piece with all white porcelain cones, except for one black one. The description reads:

“The pieces are conceived as concepts and presented as abstract sculptures,” Joan Rosenberg-Dent said.

“This piece is based on the saying: There’s always one in every crowd.” Other titles include “Treehouse,” “Hugs & a Kiss,” “Soft Whispers,” “Finding Beauty in the Wind,” “Wholly Cats” and “Second Balcony Jump.” Prices range from $500 to $9,000 and range in size from 12-by-12 inches to 30-by-40 inches. “Two of the pieces that were $20,000 each have been sold,” said Mrs. Rosenberg-Dent, whose work has been published, exhibited and collected in private and public collections in the United States, Germany and France. “My newest commission includes the Regent Cruise Line ship, Splendor, where my pieces will be traveling the world.” email: mmcmahon@newspress.com

Aries — A book or movie about a foreign country could capture your imagination and make that country seem especially appealing, Aries. You might toy with the idea of taking a trip there in the future. If you’re serious, it might be a good idea to start making your tentative plans. You’re in a particularly practical frame of mind and have the enthusiasm to do it. Have fun browsing through travel brochures and maps. Taurus —Someone close who owes you money might suddenly turn up and repay you, Taurus. This might be a surprise, but you will be glad to get it. You may want to blow some of it by taking a friend out to lunch or buying someone a gift. Some beautiful dreams could haunt your sleep tonight, perhaps to the point where you feel frustrated when you wake up. Write them down. They’re saying something about you. Gemini — Today you should feel especially warm and loving toward everyone close to you, Gemini, particularly a love partner. You may want to spend some time with friends or family, if possible, or schedule a romantic evening with your significant other - or both. If you have paperwork to take care of, this is the day to do it. You’re particularly practical and feeling good, so the drudgery won’t get you down. Cancer — You should be looking especially attractive today and glowing with robust health, Cancer. You’re apt to feel warm and loving, particularly toward small animals. If you’ve considered adopting a pet, this is a good day to do it. Business, work, and money matters continue to go well. You should be in a pretty good space. This frame of mind should last you a long time. Leo — Today you should be feeling especially warm and loving toward close friends and children, Leo. You could also especially appreciate the arts. You might attend a play or concert or decide to try your hand at one of the fine arts yourself. In the evening, go out and enjoy your friends’ company, if possible. Celebrate just being together in whatever way you can! Virgo — Today you might decide to buy a plant for every room in your house or plant a garden, Virgo. If the weather is good, you might visit a nursery or botanical garden. You may not normally be Monday, November 16,gardens, 2015 but attracted to plants and today both beauty and nature seem especially appealing. Make the most of this, however temporary.

Daily Bridge Club

Your house will look that much more beautiful because of it! Libra — A warm and loving communication could come to you today from someone close. This could be an emailz, call, or even a gift of some kind. This could make your day, Libra, and you will probably pass whatever good feelings you draw from it to other friends and family members. Take a walk around your neighborhood and say hello to whomever you meet. It will make you feel even better! Scorpio — A very welcome sum of extra money could come your way today, Scorpio, possibly out of the blue. You might want to put this money to work for you in some way, perhaps investing it or purchasing supplies or materials for personal projects. You should feel especially positive where your resources are concerned, and confident in your ability to earn. Sagittarius — Today you may feel especially warm and loving toward just about everybody in your circle, Sagittarius, even those you usually find irritating. You could also be looking especially attractive and feeling more confident than usual. You might even feel like shopping for new clothes. Artistic ideas could flow freely, and you might think of different ways to put them to work for you. Capricorn — Someone you care about but haven’t seen for a long time could suddenly contact you. You’d usually love this, Capricorn, but today you could be too caught up in projects of your own to want to put them aside. But you will have a lot of fun with this person, and you might even interest him or her in your project. After finishing your work, get some delicious takeout. Aquarius — You generally tend to be sensitive and intuitive, Aquarius, but today you might be even more so. Reading about people from other places and times might cause you to tune into their thoughts and feelings and receive new insight into human nature. Creative projects, particularly writing, benefit from this. If you want to remember what you come up with, write it down. Pisces — Today you could talk to some interesting new people, Pisces. Among them is at least one person who shares a lot of your interests and could become a close friend. The joy you receive from communicating with these people is likely to spill over into the rest of your day. You could be warmer and more congenial with everyone else in your life, too. In the evening, have some fun.

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 pageunderneaththenumber 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.

New Beginnings to hold annual fundraiser SANTA BARBARA — New Beginnings is holding its annual fundraiser at the West Wind Drive-In, 907 S. Kellogg Ave., on Oct. 22. The agency is showing the comedy-drama film “The Fisher King,â€? (1991) starring Jeff Bridges, Robin Williams and Mercedes Ruehl. The fundraiser will be held from 6 to 9 p.m., and the price of admission is $50 per vehicle, according to a news release. A second late-night screening will occur starting at approximately 9:30 p.m. and is available at $5 per vehicle. New Beginnings provides quality, affordable counseling, shelter, case management and education and provides clients with the ability to lead healthy and productive lives. Guests will enjoy a series of short interviews with New Beginnings’ staff and volunteers highlighting the agency’s work this year as well as a never-before-seen interview with Oscar-winner Mercedes Ruehl and Oscar-nominated screenwriter Richard LaGravenese. The evening will also include a screening of the 2019 Oscar-Winning short film “Hair Love,â€? which follows the story of a man who must do his daughter’s hair for the first time, and another short film about a businessman meeting a homeless man in a cafĂŠ called “French Roast.â€? These short films were chosen because they reinforce the message that New Beginnings hopes to convey throughout the evening. “New Beginnings is showing “The Fisher Kingâ€? in particular to help inform community members about trauma and how it impacts those around us,â€? Executive Director Kristine Schwarz said in a statement. “We are using story-telling as a more engaging way of educating people about the issues New Beginnings works to address.â€? The fundraiser will also include prize giveaways. For each ticket purchased, New Beginnings will provide a ticket that will enter its event attendees into a drawing to win various prizes: A two-night stay in a wonderful cabin at Pine Mountain Club in the Los Padres Forest, a 2016 bottle of Shafer wine, and a BMW Baby Racer with over a hundred celebrity signatures on it.

Majestic Asset Management purchases building GOLETA — Majestic Asset Management purchased a 175,211 square-foot office campus in Goleta last week. Located at 7414-7418 Hollister Ave., the three-building, 14.6-acre campus has primarily been occupied by software companies over the years, such as Citrix Systems. The off-market transaction was purchased in all-cash with an escrow

of approximately two weeks. The closing price was not disclosed, according to officials. Francois DeJohn and Steve Hayes of Hayes Commercial Group represented Majestic Asset Management in the transaction. Two of the buildings are “Class A� creative offices with state-of-theart finishes. The third building is in shell condition and features dockhigh loading and ceiling heights approaching 40 feet. All three buildings are being marketed for lease by Hayes Commercial Group. Based in Agoura Hills, Majestic

Asset Management owns, develops and manages investment property primarily in Santa Barbara, Los Angeles and Ventura counties. Their portfolio in the greater Santa Barbara area has included about 25 successful commercial and apartment properties, in addition to their portfolio in other regions. “Majestic has become a real force in South Coast commercial real estate in recent years, particularly in Goleta,� Mr. DeJohn said. “They have an impressive track record of adding value to properties, and they have contributed directly to Goleta’s

recovery from double-digit office vacancy.� The COVID-19 pandemic has taken a toll on commercial property sales throughout the South Coast, contributing to a drop in dollar volume of approximately 35%, compared to the prior five-year average. However, there have been two purchases of office properties larger than 100,000 square feet by investors during the pandemic, including 7414-7418 Hollister Ave in Goleta and the Procore campus in Carpinteria. — Mitchell White

RALPH T. IANNELLI and ESSEX CAPITAL CORPORATION, Defendants.

PLEASE TAKE NOTICE that the United States District Court for the Central District of California ("District Court") has entered its order establishing a deadline by which proofs of claim must be submitted to Geoff Winkler (the "Receiver"), the Court-appointed permanent receiver for Essex Capital Corporation and its subsidiaries and affiliates (collectively, the "Receivership Entities"), in connection with the above-referenced action. The Receiver is in the process of sending a Determination of Claim Amount letter to all Receivership Entity investors and creditors for whom he has identified as having suffered net losses from their investments in, or contributions to, the Receivership Entities. All persons or entities who: (1) dispute the Receiver's calculation of their claim amount, as set forth in the Determination of Claim Amount letter; or (2) do not receive a Determination of Claim Amount letter, but otherwise believe that they are entitled to assert a claim against, or have a right to distribution from, the Receivership Entities based upon, among other things, an investment in any of the Receivership Entities, must submit a Proof of Claim. If you receive a Determination of Claim Amount letter from the Receiver and do not dispute his calculation of your claim amount as stated therein, you do not need to submit a Proof of Claim. If you have not received a Proof of Claim form, you can obtain one by visiting www.essex-receivership.com or by writing to the Receiver at Essex Capital Corporation Claims, P.O. Box 4364, Portland, OR 97208-4364. Your Proof of Claim must be received by the Receiver by no later than November 30, 2020 at 5:00 p.m. PST. Your Proof of Claim, along with all supporting documentation, must be mailed to: Geoff Winkler, Receiver, Essex Capital Corporation Claims, P.O. Box 4364, Portland, OR 97208-4364. When you submit a Proof of Claim form in this case, you consent to the jurisdiction of the District Court for all purposes, including a determination, among other things, as to the validity and amount of your claim. In submitting a Proof of Claim, you agree to be bound by the actions of the District Court, even if that means that your claim is limited or denied. By submitting a Proof of Claim, you further agree that your receipt of any distribution from the receivership estate may exclude you from any other remedies or relief against the Receivership Entities based upon your claim. You must submit, in addition to your Proof of Claim, a copy of all documents evidencing your claim including, but not limited to, any canceled checks (front and back), bank statements, account ledgers, invoices, statements, or other documents evidencing the amount or basis of your claim, and any documents evidencing a security interest, if any.

SB Unified explores hybrid learning By ANNELISE HANSAHW NEWS-PRESS STAFF WRITER

The Santa Barbara Unified School District will discuss hybrid learning during the 6:30 p.m. board meeting Tuesday. The main item on the agenda will be approving hybrid learning plans. The proposed plan is to begin the hybrid stage Nov. 9 in elementary schools and wait until Jan. 19 (the first day of second semester) to move to hybrid learning in secondary schools. Extracurricular activities would be authorized on secondary campuses. A large committee of district employees polled parents, students and staff about their reopening preferences. A total of 43% of parents prefer to begin hybrid learning Nov. 9, and 15% said they would not like to return during this school year. Secondary students were polled, and 54% said they were ready to return to school. Middle school students were the most eager, with 62% ready for hybrid school. Just 17% of teachers felt ready for hybrid Nov. 9, and 71% voted Jan. 19. The remaining 12% preferred to return another date. Santa Barbara Parent Leadership Action Network, led by Caroline Harrah, held a public forum Friday in its Facebook group. From the district, Superintendent Hilda Maldonado; Board President Laura Capps; Asst. Superintendent of Business Services Margaret Jette

and Director of Facilities and Modernization Steve Vizzolini presented. Susan Klein-Rothschild, deputy director of Santa Barbara County Public Health Department also answered questions. “Our challenges are design of school and staffing,” Superintendent Maldonado said. Parents tell her to open like Montecito Union and Cold Spring, she says, but SB Unified is more difficult. “The best thing we can offer is hybrid,” she said. “We still have to social distance.” She said classroom sizes in some schools can’t accommodate social distancing. Furniture has to be rearranged, and they need to hire more teachers. “A classroom of 24 becomes a classroom of 12,” she said. The district is hiring more custodians to increase sanitization efforts. They’ll monitor soap and bathroom use and open all the windows to increase circulation. Vents will constantly run, pumping 15 cubic feet of fresh air every minute, said Mr. Vizzolini. Ms. Jette discussed transportation. The buses are outsourced, so the district is subject to the bus systems’ policies. Drivers are not tested for COVID-19, but their temperature is tested before every shift. Buses are disinfected twice daily. Principals will be reaching out to parents this week to present the school’s safety measures. email: ahanshaw@newspress.com

Lompoc school board candidates voice concerns By ANNELISE HANSHAW NEWS-PRESS STAFF WRITER

Seven candidates running for the Lompoc Unified school board spoke Thursday evening during a forum held by the Lompoc-Vandenberg branch of the American Association of University Women. Mike Phillips, a retired schoolteacher of over 40 years, moderated. There are three spots on the board up for election Nov. 3. The only incumbent running is Dr. Bill Heath, challenged by Tom Blanco, Janet Blevins, Martin Casey, Gary Cox, Kathi Froemming and Alex Murkison. While some candidates’ opinions differed, the general sense was that of agreement — especially when discussing frustrations about the current board. “People want to be sure that they can trust what’s going on,” Ms. Froemming said when asked about administration-teacher communication. “I think there’s been a lot of public discourse around a lack of transparency.” Everyone echoed the need for transparent leadership. “I would push for our superintendent to live in our town and visit schools,” Mr. Casey said. “I think that would build trust.” Mr. Blanco said the website should be easier to navigate for community members, as he finds

SBCC to host webinar, outdoor exhibition SANTA BARBARA — The Atkinson Gallery at Santa Barbara City College will be hosting an exhibition by Los Angeles-based artist Muna Malkin starting Oct. 23. The “Blessing of the Boats” exhibit will be on display through Dec. 10. Since the interior space of the gallery is currently closed to the public due to COVID-19, the installation will be presented on the gallery’s outdoor sculpture terrace so that it may be viewed remotely from Pershing Park and other locations around the city. Ms. Malik uses abstract paintings and interactive sculpture to create poetic imagery around the narratives of women of color and refugees. She will present a webinar on her work at 4 p.m. Wednesday via Zoom.

it hard to access the information on it sometimes. Ms. Blevins, a retired LUSD teacher, offered her perspective bluntly. “There is an atmosphere of secrecy, and it is the opposite of openness. There’s plenty of board policies, they’re just not being followed.” she said. Her answer was followed by a new question: What are effective procedures and/or criteria for evaluating the performance of the superintendent and the board itself? “The board hired the superintendent, so I’m sure they had criteria,” Mr. Cox said. “So if there’s some disgruntled over the superintendent, it seems the board didn’t do their job.” Mr. Murkison suggested a survey get sent to teachers. “We all agree that we are elected by our community, so we need to value what they see,” he said. “If they feel like we’re not doing our job or the superintendent isn’t, we need to really listen to why they feel that way and go forward with the evaluation process.” Mr. Blanco said it should apply to a range of employees. “Everybody needs to be evaluated from the top to the bottom; it’s the only way to maintain accountability,” he said. Dr. Heath said there’s only been one superintendent evaluation

during his six years as a board member. “The problem on the existing board, I believe, is that the superintendent runs the board, and not the board runs the superintendent. He’s very skilled at manipulating how things work for the board,” Dr. Heath said. Another question addressed recent curriculum changes. Moderator Phillips asked candidates what they thought of ethnic studies programs and comprehensive sex education. “Learning from our mistakes, the ugly and the truth in our background, we are less likely to make the same mistakes again,” Mr. Casey said in agreement with continuing the ethnic studies curriculum. But Dr. Heath disagreed. “Although all these things are part of the curriculum, they are somewhat of a distraction from … reading, writing, arithmetic,” he said. “I think we need to teach the greatness of our country to our children and instill pride in them.” Other panelists expressed favor for the curriculum but said it should stay an elective instead of a requirement. “Mandates I would be concerned about because requirements crowd teachers’ concerns already. There’s already Please see LOMPOC on A8

The “Blessing of the Boats” is an ongoing art project focused on a series of large illuminated sculptural boats made of metal and reflective surfaces. The project prompts interaction with the public by encouraging viewers to create small paper origami boats with personal heartfelt messages for the future. The messages are then collected and added to each installation, allowing it to grow over time. The first installation of “Blessing of the Boats” was featured at the Northern Spark Arts Festival in Minnesota in 2016. This installation allowed Northern Spark Festival goers to take an artist-led journey across the historic Stone Arch Bridge in Minneapolis. On the walk, they experienced music, poetry and stories performed by local artists directly connected to the ongoing refugee crisis. The journey culminated in a silent vigil surrounding the “Blessing of the Boats” installation commemorating refugees who’d lost their lives journeying to

safety. The installation has evolved by expanding its focus and replicating it in new public and private spaces around the country. Building on the initial topic of global migration, the goal now is to prompt people to consider how together we can create a better society. The project asks the questions, “What messages would people leave if they knew it would have a large impact on someone anywhere in the world?” and, “If we have the opportunity to sail toward a new future, what society would you build and how do we get there?” Those who wish to leave origami boat messages can mail them or drop them off safely at unmanned stations installed on campus and other local locations. For more information on where and how to view the installation and where to send origami messages, go to: http://gallery.sbcc. edu/upcoming-exhibitions.html.

Lakers pound Heat to secure NBA championship

Goff leads Rams past Washington

Three hundred fifty days after the season began, the Lakers won the franchise’s 17th NBA title with a 106-93 thrashing of the Miami Heat in Game 6 on Sunday in Orlando, Fla. LeBron James had a triple-double of 28 points, 14 rebounds and 10 assists in what was his fourth NBA title and third with three different franchises (Miami and Cleveland were the other two). Anthony Davis added 19 points and 15 rebounds for Los Angeles, which led by 28 at halftime. In what was the longest season in league history because of the coronavirus, the Lakers took the series four games to two, and led wire-to-wire in Sunday’s decisive Game 6. Only two other teams — the 1982 Lakers and the 1986 Boston Celtics — led wire-to-wire in an NBA Finals clinching game. L.A.’s 28-point halftime lead was the second largest in an NBA Finals game. Boston’s 30-point lead over the Lakers in the 1985 Finals ranks as No. 1 on that list. Miami’s scoring machine, Jimmy Butler, who had a 40-point triple-double in the Heat’s Game 3 win, and a 35-point triple-double in Miami’s Game 5 victory, was held to just 12 points on Sunday.

Jared Goff threw for 309 yards and accounted for three touchdowns in leading the Los Angeles Rams to a 30-10 victory at Washington on Sunday. Goff completed 21 of 30 passes, with two going for touchdowns. He also rushed for a two-yard score. L.A.’s defense was up to the task, especially in the second half, when the Rams kept Washington off the scoreboard. Cam Akers led Los Angeles’ ground attack with 61 yards on nine carries. The Rams improved to 4-1 while Washington dropped to 1-4. In other NFL action, the 49ers benched struggling quarterback Jimmy Garoppolo during their 43-17 loss to Miami in Santa Clara. Garroppolo was 7-for-17 with two interceptions when he was benched in favor of C.J. Beathard. Ryan Fitzpatrick turned in a much better performance under center for the Dolphins. Fitzpatrick completed 22 of 28 passes for 350 yards and three touchdowns with no interceptions. He finished with a quarterback rating of 154.5. Jason Sanders also finished 5-for-5 in field goal attempts for Miami. The Chargers were off Sunday. L.A. is in New Orleans for a game against the Saints tonight.

Mr. Murkison shared his perspective. “Nowadays, so many kids are willing to learn more about the history,” he said. “It was a struggle for me in high school not really learning about my background, my peers’ background, especially in a town where we as a minority are depleted.” A main point of difference appeared in discussion over facility improvements. “Our schools are in such terrible disrepair that we must pass a bond issue,” Ms. Blevins said. “Before I retired, I had ceiling tiles falling off of the ceiling onto my workspace.” She also noticed loose asbestos tiles, a material no longer used because of asbestos’ link to critical lung conditions including cancer and mesothelioma. Ms. Froemming wasn’t as eager to propose a bond. “The pandemic has altered my perspective on any bond in the near future. I don’t see a bond passing given the circumstances of the pandemic,” she said. And Dr. Heath didn’t like the idea of a bond measure whatsoever. “I’m fiscally conservative. I’d like to see the district do better with what it has,” he said. When asked about reopening, most candidates expressed caution. “The school district has a plan in place and they’re ready to roll with it. No one wants to risk health,” Mr. Blanco said. “Our teachers aren’t quite comfortable returning yet.” The district announced Friday its intent to reopen in January. This will be discussed during Tuesday’s board meeting. After seven questions, the forum ran out of time, so candidates did not get to provide closing remarks. A recording of the forum is available on the city of Lompoc TAPTV YouTube channel. Simultaneous Spanish interpretation was available on the live webinar thanks to a gift from the Fund of Santa Barbara. email: ahanshaw@newspress.com

other sections in the park were calm. Each picnic table was taken by a parent or two, and kids ran around — some with, some without masks. Santa Barbara playgrounds opened Oct. 3, when the county moved into the red tier. The city posted rules on its website. Everyone ages two and older must wear masks; maintain six-feet distance and prevent kids crowding together. Each playground has an occupancy limit, as well. The city won’t disinfect the playgrounds, so it encourages families to be cautious. Madeline Arriaza felt hesitant to let her five-year-old son play. She wondered if it was safe. “He sees the playground, and it’s hard to say no after so long,” she said as she cautiously approached the gate. She didn’t know the playground was open when they went to the park. She was just taking her son to ride around on his scooter. But the giggles and cheers coming from the playground make it hard for a young boy to enjoy riding around alongside his parents. He’s been home for the past few months. Luckily, he has a big yard in which to play. But now he started virtual kindergarten, and it’s hard to focus. His mom doesn’t like seeing him struggle with distance learning, but she still says she feels better that he’s at home. The Dumond Family felt similarly. The kids are in a charter school, but not one that meets in-person. So, Laura Dumond took her four

sons to the park to run around Sunday for the first time in months. They went once every other week prior to COVID-19, but they’ve just stayed home lately. “It was hard because they didn’t have anywhere to get their energy out,” she said.

The boys wrestled and tried to make the best of the time at home, but they’d end up in fights after a while. They’re glad to see people other than their brothers. “We get to see our friends at the park we usually don’t get to see,” Jaxson Dumond said.

RAFAEL MALDONADO / NEWS-PRESS

Roger Aceves spent 32 years working in law enforcement in the region, and has held positions of leadership for his entire career, from City Council to Santa Barbara Elks Lodge to former Goleta Mayor for two terms.

Goleta City Council in 2006 and was re-elected in 2010, 2014 and 2018, and he served as mayor in 2009 and 2012. He is the only person of color ever elected to city council and is its longest-serving member. Now, he’s ready to tackle mayoral duties once again, with four main priorities: supporting local businesses, fixing aging infrastructure, improving parks and open spaces and ending the Revenue Neutrality Agreement, which has required Goleta to pay more than $100 million in sales tax revenue to the county of Santa Barbara. He also voted against the 1% sales tax proposed by the council. “One, it is my belief that you do not increase taxes during a pandemic and an economic recession. Two, you don’t increase your taxes without a plan as to how it’s going to be spent,” Mr. Aceves said. “People require the government to reduce waste and find out where to cut expenses. Once we’ve done that and we see we need help, people will understand why we put a sales tax on it. But we haven’t justified it yet.” He said he believes taxes generated in Goleta should stay in Goleta, so the city can take care of its most basic needs first. These basic needs include finding innovative ways to assist small businesses, fixing crumbling streets and parks, revitalizing Old Town with more projects like a sidewalk project, encouraging entrepreneurship and promoting local farming and agriculture. Mr. Aceves also wants to incentivize putting people of color on commissions and running for council. “I wasn’t elected to opine on national issues. I was elected to

businesses as they seek to diversify, and we want to attract businesses that provide some jobs with training programs so that people just starting out have opportunities here,” she continued. “Finally, we want to attract businesses that are less vulnerable to erosion from remote, online businesses that often provide little local benefit.” She referenced Goleta’s new zoning ordinance, which was designed to ensure these businesses and enterprises are sited at locations zoned for such activity. Mayor Perotte also mentioned the increasing cannabis industry. “Since California legalized cannabis, one of the impacts is not just the growth and retail sales of cannabis, but also its processing,” she said. “This might be an industry with some

good, new growth potential, but only if done safely, in a way compatible with our area and if all impacts are mitigated.” Her top priority for her second term is ensuring the health, safety and well-being of the city through the pandemic. On top of that, she’s prioritizing support for first responders. “I’m especially honored to be endorsed by, and working closely with, both the Santa Barbara Firefighters and the Santa Barbara Deputy Sheriffs,” Mayor Perotte said. “I want to work with our wonderfully diverse community to ensure needed changes to our justice system, so that every individual can live and thrive with equal treatment, dignity and safety with the same opportunities as everybody else.” Mayor Perotte supports putting Measure O, which would extend the mayoral term in Goleta from two years to four, on the ballot for Goleta voters to decide. The Public Engagement Commission recommended this

measure to “enhance transparency, diversity and increased participation in the actions of our city,” and she said relying on their recommendations has served the city well. “I’m the only mayoral candidate with a solid record of advocating for the ‘right’ development, at the right pace,” Mayor Perotte said. “My record shows that I’ve provided the leadership to support the needs of both residents and local businesses, while protecting the character of Goleta neighborhoods and its environmental resources. “I believe that my record of community service and achievement before and during my years on Goleta’s city council demonstrates that I have the experience, energy and understanding of Goleta’s values necessary to serve as mayor.” To learn more about her campaign, visit her website at paulaperotte.com. email: gmccormick@newspress.com

take care of the issues for Goleta,” he continued. “I’m intolerant of our crumbling road ways. I’m intolerant of the conditions of our parks. And I’m very intolerant of the fact that we have given the county $122 million. … I need to refocus our council and refocus our community to make sure that our basic needs are taken care of.” Because this is only the second direct election of the mayor in Goleta, Mr. Aceves does not agree with extending the mayoral term from two years to four. “I think it’s very self-serving if I was to say, ‘No, give me four years,’” he said. “But more importantly, I think it’s unfair to the citizens for the council to come back and say, ‘We don’t agree with your decision,’ just two years into the program.” As the city struggles with the economic stress of the pandemic, Mr. Aceves said he’s up for the challenge. “I was mayor when we were going through the 2008 recession. We made some hard decisions, but we got the job done,” he said. “Fast forward to 2020, it’s that leadership that I’m going to bring back to the city that I was able to show back in 2009.” All in all, he said it’s his leadership skills, transparency and honesty that qualify him for the position. “I am what I am and I say what I say,” Mr. Aceves said. “I’ve always been put in positions of responsibility. I pride myself on being able to run efficient meetings and I’ve been recognized as a leader. I bring all these skill sets to the mayor position.” To learn more about Mr. Aceve’s campaign, visit his website at rogeraceves.com..
