Storm impact map unveiled County officials hold winter preparedness webinar to outline potential risks By MITCHELL WHITE NEWS-PRESS ASSOCIATE EDITOR

Significant regrowth has occurred in the foothills and canyons above Montecito, Summerland and Carpinteria three years after the devastating Thomas Fire and subsequent debris flow, though the areas are still at risk for future events. Last week, county emergency officials were joined by fire, flood control and weather specialists to discuss the ongoing potential for disaster, while also outlining the progress that has occurred in these areas. Kevin Cooper, a biologist with the Montecito Fire Protection District who has been tracking the vegetation growth in the burn scar for the past several years, shared a series of images that showed the recovery in areas above the coastal communities. “We’re on track to hit that five to seven year… full recovery to pre-fire conditions of the watershed here,” he said. The fire ripped through the vegetation and left the soils totally unprotected. When high-intensity rain events were to occur, which are described as anything more than a half-inch per hour after a fire, the rain moves down very quickly, mixing into the sediment in the channels and serves as a precursor to local debris flows. Through satellite surveillance, the use of drones and foot traffic through these areas, specialists have observed significant regrowth, therefore reducing the risk to residents. The first rain season, in 2018, there was almost no vegetation and soils were exposed. The second rain season produced about a 35% canopy cover, up to 50% in some areas, and the third year there was nearly 80 to 90% canopy cover. Now entering the fourth rain season, there is about 85 to 100% canopy cover, he said. “We’d like to remind you that even without a fire, we have had debris flows in this county, but we have come a long way since the fire burned through that area and expect to see a lot of protection from that vegetation there,” Mr. Cooper said. County Flood Control engineering manager Jon Frye recalled the Coyote Fire in 1964, which led to a debris flow in the first winter following the blaze, as well as another event four and a half years later. “I think it’s important that we all remain vigilant and understand that we’re entering into winter four after the Thomas Fire as well, so recognize that these are high-hazard areas and we all need to remain alert,” he said. Mr. Frye highlighted six debris basins, including two proposed basins that will be constructed in the next few years. The county has received a Federal Emergency Management Agency grant to construct a debris basin along Randall Road, which is scheduled for construction in 2021 and on target. A second proposed basin, the Buena Vista Creek debris basin, did not have an associated date, though Mr. Frye said the county has applied for a FEMA grant that is still under review. He went on to outline some of the projects that have occurred or are planned for the Cold Springs, San Ysidro, Romero and Santa Monica debris basins. The Cold Springs debris basin was expanded a few months ago, while additional improvements are planned for that basin, as well as the three others, over the next two years. Eric Boldt, a warning coordination meteorologist with the National Weather Service in Oxnard, gave an overview of the weather conditions expected as the county enters its rain season. Since Oct. 1, the Santa Barbara Municipal Airport had received just 0.05 of an inch of rain, some 3.5 inches below normal. The next 14 days expect to remain dry, though significant winds are expected. “We still have this ongoing, persistent fire season,” Mr. Boldt said. “Until we see more rain, we need to be concerned about winds and fires.” The long-term forecast for January and March also shows below-normal rainfall,

County officials last week released the latest storm impact consideration map for the Montecito and Carpinteria areas. Residents who reside in or near the red areas should have a plan to evacuate if a severe rainstorm would occur.

A rare astronomical event will be visible in the sky tonight — the very close conjunction of Jupiter and Saturn, which is popularly being called the “Christmas Star.” And it just so happens to fall on the Winter Solstice. Stargazers may have seen the two planets getting closer in the night sky, and tonight they’ll overlap just a tenth of a degree apart. Astronomers call this a “great conjunction.” It has been 400 years since the planets overlapped so closely, and it’s been 800 years since it was visible in the night sky. “Jupiter takes about 11.9 years to orbit the Sun, and Saturn takes about 29.5 years,” Chuck McPartlin, Santa Barbara Astronomical Unit outreach coordinator, said. “As a result, Saturn and Jupiter come into conjunction about every 19.6 years. “What’s special about this conjunction is that they will be exceptionally close to each other and will appear to the unaided eye as a single bright object.” The planets will be closest at 6 a.m., but it will be below Santa Barbara’s horizon. The conjunction will still be incredibly close throughout the night. Please see star on A7

though some storms are still expected to occur. If the rain events were to come one after another in a short period of time, issues could arise. Mr. Boldt estimated that with a series of storms in the upper watershed with 10 inches or more accumulating above Montecito, there could be more runoff through the river systems. Montecito Fire Protection District Chief Kevin Taylor showed the storm impact map produced by Atkins Engineering, the same firm that has produced the previous three risk maps. The number of “red areas,” or those at risk of flooding or debris flow, is significantly lower than in previous years. The newly unveiled map showed 445 parcels in the Montecito, Summerland and Carpinteria areas. This compared to 517 parcels a year ago, and 1,508 parcels two years ago. “Our take away from this year’s scientific analysis is that we are still at risk for debris flow and will be for at least five years after the Thomas Fire,” he said. Residents are encouraged to visit www. readysbc.org and use the interactive map to determine if they may be at risk. Last year, the watershed and flood

control systems performed very well in handling the storms and no evacuation orders were issued. While no two storm events are the same and the watershed responds differently to each, residents are advised to remain vigilant. “Because our highest risk is at the tail end of a saturation event, we do not anticipate issuing protective action orders as the result of a single storm,” Chief Taylor said. While recognizing the inconvenience that evacuations pose, Chief Taylor said the department’s top priority is protecting the community, something all county partners take very seriously. Chief Deputy Craig Bonner, of the Santa Barbara County Sheriff’s Department, outlined what steps would be taken if evacuations were to be required. He explained the county’s “Ready! Set! Go!” plan that should be followed if orders are made. The “Ready!” portion is when there is a weather advisory in place, typically two to three days before a storm. Residents should make plans for getting out, while also having considerations because of the

COVID-19 pandemic. For the “Set!” portion, some 24 to 48 hours before a storm event, residents should fill up their gas tanks, collect important documents and be prepared to leave. Those who feel unsafe even though no orders may be issued should leave immediately, he said. The “Go!” portion is for when evacuations are ordered. While county officials will try and notify residents up to 24 hours before orders are called for, residents should be ready to leave and take steps to protect themselves and get to safety as quickly as possible. Residents are urged to sign up for emergency notifications through readysbc. org and Nixle in order to stay informed, officials said. Thursday’s webinar opened with a recorded message from 1st District Supervisor Das Williams, who explained the importance of remaining prepared. “Although it’s been three years since the fire and almost three years since the subsequent debris flow, I know it feels like Please see storm on A8

The Mesa Laundromat has been awarded the 2020 Water Hero Award courtesy of the city of Santa Barbara Conservation Program. The local laundromat was recognized for significantly reducing water usage through upgrades to its washing machines. The laundromat is viewed as an important part of the Mesa for the past 25 years, with the current owners, Maribel and Lalo Rivera, having owned it for the past five years. “Since we took over we have been welcomed by the Santa Barbara community and the mesa, we’ve got great customers who have been coming here for years,” said Mrs. Rivera. The award is given annually by the city’s Water Conservation Program in honor of individuals, businesses or organizations that go above and beyond in their water conservation efforts to serve as an example of resource efficiency, according to city officials. Due to city and state drought conditions, the Riveras were motivated to look for opportunities to save water at their business. Please see water on A8

A third option for prostates

Sansum Clinic urologist discusses alternative to surgery, medications By DAVE MASON NEWS-PRESS MANAGING EDITOR

Traditionally, men had to have major surgery or medication to stop frequent bathroom visits — day or night. But there’s a third solution for an enlarged prostate, and that’s helping older men to sleep and live better. It’s the UroLift System, an FDA-approved outpatient procedure that uses tiny implants to provide relief. The system helps the prostate, which is a walnutsize gland that surrounds the urethra, a passageway that drains urine from the body. An enlarged prostate blocks the urethra, and there goes a good night’s sleep. The UroLift System lifts and holds the enlarged prostate tissue so it no longer blocks the urethra. There is no heating, cutting or removal of the prostate tissue. A Sansum Clinic urologist swears by it. “The results have been really great,” Dr. Scott Tobis told the News-Press. “The vast majority of patients get significant improvement in their quality of life and their flow rates.” He said his patients find they don’t have to wake up so often at night to go to the bathroom and can worry less about the location of public restrooms. “It takes pressure off the bladder,” the urologist said. Dr. Tobis said he has used the UroLift System successfully in more than 100 patients with benign prostatic hyperplasia, a common problem for older men, during the last five years. Dr. Tobis explained the UroLift System, which was developed by Teleflex Interventional Urology, is done on an outpatient basis at Sansum’s Surgery Center in Santa Barbara. “The main thing is how easy it is for the patients to undergo,” Dr. Tobis said. “It’s really a lot less invasive than other approaches that we have for this problem.” He said the procedure is covered by Medicare and major insurance plans. Dr. Tobis added that the UroLift System makes for a great alternative to expensive medications or surgery, which requires recovery time.

The UroLift System lifts and holds the enlarged prostate tissue so it no longer blocks the urethra. There is no heating, cutting or removal of the prostate tissue. He also noted that the procedure is unlikely to cause significant side effects or longterm problems. “There’s no risk of sexual dysfunction with this or leakage of urine or anything like that, which there are with other procedures.” He said there’s a small risk of urinary infection. The most common side effects reported have varied from blood in the urine to pelvic pain, but most symptoms were mild to moderate and were resolved within two to four weeks after the procedure. “Most people are able to do this as an outpatient procedure and go home the same day with minimal problems going forward,” Dr. Tobis said. He also noted the Surgery Center is following COVID-19 precautions, including wearing masks and complying with handcleaning protocols. “All the patients are tested for COVID before they come in,” Dr. Tobis said. “There are no surprises. It’s very safe. We’ve been doing this for several months without any major issues.” email: dmason@newspress.com

Demi lune tables were inventive and practical

J

.E. has a fine British Hepplewhite Demi Lune table that she picked up for a song at the Santa Barbara Goodwill before the pandemic. She threw it in her storage, and now she has had the time to think about it, she wrote, “What is it? How old? Should she refinish? What was it originally used for?” This table was an extension to a dining table. That’s hard to conceive, but here’s how we know. The table is a little less than 28 inches tall, the height of dining tables in general over the years. And over the years, because of its age (1810), it has lost about ¾ inch from wood wearing away at the feet bottom. It was part of a dining suite. It is not the other typical form of demi lune table of that period, which is the game table. This table usually stood about 30 inches tall and typically could seat four players when the top was flipped open and a gate leg was swung around. I make this point because to tell J.E. what the table was used for, we have certain 18th- and 19thcentury standards. I see J.E.’s table is dining height, and I do not see evidence of anything hinging on the long side of her table. There’s no evidence of any swing leg: It is not a game table. How was this little semicircle furnishing a dining table? It was part of a dining table — and a very inventive part. We have not seen this form in a dining room since about 1825. Here’s how the suite was configured. The center table was a rectangular drop leaf table of walnut or mahogany. When not in use, the leaves were flopped down, and the table was drawn to the wall. When it was to be used, the host had many choices of ways to use the whole set, consisting of one drop leaf table and two similarly

extended drop leaf table was used, anchored at either end by the two demi lunes, creating a table over 8 feet long. When dining was over, all three pieces went against the walls. Table suites like this in the Federal Period in America and the Hepplewhite Period in Great Britain were both beautiful and practical — and moveable. Here’s how the host figured the layout of the three pieces for specific guests. To serve four to six people, the host used the drop leaf table only. For six to eight people, the host left the drop leaves down and added both demi lune tables either end. For eight to 12 people, the host opened the drop leaf and added both demi lune tables. Why did this practical and efficient style go away? Because new dining habits changed the dining room in about 1840. A fashion occurred for stately looking dining tables set permanently in the middle of a dining room with chairs. So dining tables “walked’ to the center of dining rooms and have stayed there ever since, except for the year 2020, when the pandemic has forced us to redo our dining rooms into our home offices. Yet again, dining tables are against the walls as they were in the 15th to 18th centuries.

How do I know this table is Hepplewhite, a style named after a cabinet maker in London in the late 18th century? I know because of the square simple legs that are slightly tapering and the “lion mask” hardware. How do I know this table is Hepplewhite, a style named after a cabinet maker in London in the late 18th century? I know because of the square simple legs that are slightly tapering and the “lion mask” hardware, which are the original pulls to the small drawer (also very practical if the host used the demi lune tables as sideboards.) These lion masks are a feature of the Hepplewhite and Federal Period, but usually in America we see the lion’s mouth holding the bail handle. So, I believe it is British, about 1804-1810. Now, should J.E. strip this table? I would say the value is such ($700) that if she didn’t mind losing the value, she COULD, but I would French-polish the piece (and she did as we see in the photo). She took exceptionally light sandpaper and just skimmed the surface of

the finish, enough to give 100% beeswax something to adhere to. Then she put on about three coats with her bare hands (the warmth helped the table accept the wax). She took three pairs of wool socks and buffed the piece with the socks. This is my recipe for French polishing, and of course, you polish the brasses as they were originally. They were very bright.

The 2019 Foster Express resulted in almost every shelter cat and dog spending the holidays in a home with a family, so shelter staff and volunteers hope this year’s will help give every shelter animal an opportunity to welcome the 2021 New Year with a family. The Foster Express not only allows shelter animals time away from the kennel, but it gives staff a lot of information on how shelter animals behave in home environments. Plus, of course, if fosters fall in love with their foster animal, they can adopt for just half of the regular fee. For more information on fostering, visit sbcanimalservices. org and asapcats.org.

Every number in the codeword grid is ‘code’ for a letter of the alphabet. Thus, the number 2 may correspond to the letter L, for instance. All puzzles come with a few letters to start. Your first move should be to enter these letters in the puzzle grid. If the letter S is in the box at the bottom of the page underneath the number 2, your first move should be to find all cells numbered 2 in the grid and enter the letter S. Cross the letter S off the list at the bottom of the grid. Remember that at the end you should have a different letter of the alphabet in each of the numbered boxes 1- 26, and a word in English in each of the horizontal and vertical runs on the codeword grid.

LUSD assistant superintendent to retire LOMPOC — Dr. John Karbula, assistant superintendent of business services for the Lompoc Unified School District, has announced his retirement from the district effective Jan. 31, 2021. “Working in Lompoc Unified has been among the most gratifying professional experiences of my 34 ½ year career as a public educator,” Dr. Karbula said in a statement. “I have nothing, but the utmost respect and admiration for Mr. Trevor McDonald, our Superintendent, for his relentless focus on doing what is right for students. This is Mr. McDonad’s North Star, and he is willing to keep the District focused on students regardless of the cost or the pushback he might receive.” Dr. Karbula is a third generation public educator. His younger daughter, Lauren, is an elementary teacher in Texas, making her a fourth generation public educator. Dr. Karbula had numerous

achievements and recognitions over the years. The district received positive budget certifications every year under his leadership, and as the district’s lead negotiator, he maintained a positive budget certification while giving his employees the largest percentage raises of any school district in the county. For his efforts, he was a state finalist for the “Negotiator of the Year,” for the Association of

California School Administrators, in addition to the ACSA Southern Region Administrator of the Year. Dr. Karbula has been a great team player working for the betterment of all students, but especially our most vulnerable populations,” Mr. McDonald said in a statement. “He is a man of great integrity and has added to the pragmatic and positive work environment for all Lompoc

Ms. Valla was recognized at the virtual ACSA regional awards banquet on Dec. 5. She was awarded $100 for the charity of her choice, which she donated to the Lompoc YMCA ASES Program. “Bree Valla truly exemplifies what being an educational leader in LUSD is all about,” Mr. McDonald said. Her application will be forwarded to the state for consideration for the ACSA State Human Resources Administrator of the Year award. “We have high caliber and quality leaders in our District that continue to put students’ needs first and I am extraordinarily proud that others are recognizing their hard work and focused dedication,” Jeff Carlovski, school board member, said in a statement. — Mitchell White

Lompoc welcomes three new firefighters LOMPOC — The Lompoc City Fire Department has welcomed three new firefighters to the department. Following an open recruitment and testing process, Nicholas Wimmel, Shane Greene and Richard West were selected to join the team. The new recruits participated in a sevenweek hire academy and will now move to their assigned shift, said Interim Fire Chief Brian

Federmann. “This hiring is very beneficial to our Department and Community as we work to fill these positions following several recent vacancies,” Chief Federmann said in a statement. “Working through the hiring and academy process during a pandemic is very challenging and I would like to share my gratitude and appreciation to the men and women of our Department who helped make this possible while being diligent in our safety measures.” — Mitchell White

Saturn, top, and Jupiter, below, are seen after sunset from Shenandoah National Park on Sunday in Luray, Virginia. The two planets are drawing closer to each other in the sky as they head towards a “great conjunction” on December 21, where the two giant planets will appear a tenth of a degree apart.

Planets’ next close conjunction to take place in 2080 star

Continued from Page A1 “That evening at sunset, the two gas giant planets will still be so close that a telescope at moderate magnification will show both planets and their brightest moons in the same field of view,” Mr. McPartlin said. At sunset, around 4:53 p.m., the planets will be visible in the southwest at an altitude 22 degrees above the horizon, he said. “If you want to wait for their next very close conjunction, it will be on March 15, 2080, but only briefly visible in the predawn sky,” he said.

At sunset, around 4:53 p.m., the planets will be visible in the southwest at an altitude 22 degrees above the horizon. The event can happen any time of year, and it’s purely coincidence that this conjunction occurs on the Winter Solstice for the northern hemisphere (which occurs at 2:02 a.m.). While the planets seem to collide from a vantage point on Earth, they are hundreds of millions of miles apart in outer space. Astronomers such as Johannes Kepler have

hypothesized that a great conjunction could be The Star of Bethlehem, as described in the Gospel of Matthew. Kepler made this observation in 1604 after witnessing a conjunction. While the validity of his hypothesis is unknown, it is a spectacular event to witness the week of Christmas and on the Winter Solstice. email: ahanshaw@newspress.com

AHC Fire Academy Coordinator Andy Densmore addresses graduating cadets. He is set to retire after more than 30 years with the academy.

Hancock Fire Academy instructor to retire Longtime Fire Academy Coordinator Andy Densmore will be retiring after more than 30 years with the Hancock Fire Academy. Mr. Densmore will leave behind a legacy of training hundreds of firefighters who have gone on to work for local agencies on the Central Coast and beyond. “Andy is a legend in the firefighting community,” said Mitch McCann, associate dean for Hancock’s Public Safety Training Complex in Lompoc. “His leadership has impacted our entire college and will be missed by not only the men and women of public safety training, but the entire firefighting community.” Mr. Densmore is a product of Hancock’s fire program, graduating from the college’s fire academy in 1978. He spent 30 years as a firefighter for the Lompoc City Fire Department before retiring as a battalion chief. Densmore began working on staff at the college’s fire academy in 1987, and has served as the AHC Fire Academy’s coordinator for the last 11 years. During that time, Densmore helped the academy and the PSTC grow into a premier firefighting program in the state, turning out class after class of highly trained firefighters prepared to serve and protect communities. “The impact that Andy has had on the fire service in our community cannot be overstated,” said Hancock Superintendent/President Dr. Kevin G. Walthers. “We know that our families, neighbors and friends are in good hands because of the excellent training he has provided for generations of firefighters.” Mr. Densmore’s final year at Hancock was marked by unprecedented challenges due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Along with a dedicated group of college administrators, staff and instructors, he helped implement stringent safety procedures, allowing the program to continue training firefighters during the pandemic. During Battalion #146’s graduation ceremony, Mr. Densmore credited the class of cadets for observing those safety protocols during their training. “I asked you at the beginning of the program to buy in and take the COVID-19 situation seriously, and you did that,” Mr. Densmore told the recruits. “This class could have ended if we had a single exposure, but that didn’t happen because of your efforts and your conscientious attitude.” While his students and coworkers used terms like “iconic” and “legend” to describe his contributions to the academy, Mr. Densmore used his remarks during the graduation to thank the academy instructors and staff for their hard work supporting the firefighting program. “We have the best instructors and staff in the state here,” he said. “They get all the credit. They take their time to share their knowledge with our recruits, so they can learn things they can’t learn anywhere else.” To learn more about the AHC Fire Academy, visit www. hancockcollege.edu/pstc/fire. — Mitchell White

GOLETA — Majestic Asset Management, Inc. recently purchased a 58,000 square-foot office building in Goleta in an offmarket transaction. The seller of the property, at 120 Cremona Drive, was EastGroup Properties. The closing price was $13.125 million, according to a news release. Located in the Hollister Avenue business corridor, the building is adjacent to two other properties owned by Majestic, including 125 and 175 Cremona Drive. Combined with the other two campuses, Majestic now has a total of 191,000 square feet on approximately 11.1 acres, officials said. Francois DeJohn and Steve Hayes, of Hayes Commercial Group, represented all parties in the sale. Based in Agoura Hills, Majestic

Asset Management manages, owns and develops investment property primarily in Santa Barbara, Los Angeles and Ventura counties. Its portfolio in the greater Santa Barbara area has included about 22 successful commercial and apartment properties, in addition to their portfolio in other regions. In 2020 alone, Majestic completed six sale transactions totaling more than $47 million in Goleta. “The (purchase) was a great opportunity for Majestic to expand and brand an office/R&D campus in a prime location,” Mr. DeJohn said in a statement. “Majestic always looks to add value and will improve the property with modern indoor and outdoor amenities to attract tech, defense, and bioscience tenants.” Approximately 10% of the building is vacant, and Majestic Asset Management and Hayes Commercial are marketing the space for lease, allowing tenants to have input regarding the buildout to meet their specific needs. — Mitchell White

‘Water levels were going down and we wanted to do our share’ water

Continued from Page A1 “During the drought we noticed that water levels were going down and we wanted to do our share and we felt that this was the best way that we could contribute to the city,” said Mrs. Rivera.

In November 2018, they replaced 17 of their washing machines with newer, more efficient models. The old washers used an average of 60 gallons of water per load, the new highefficiency washers use an average of 12 gallons per load. “The old washers were designed to hold a lot of water in the bottom

of the drum, which is called dead water, which has no use,” Mr. Rivera said. “The new washers have a better design which eliminates the dead water and that alone saves many gallons of water per cycle.” The Mesa Laundromat was able to fund the project, in part, by participating in the city’s WaterWise Survey and Incentive Program for commercial, institutional and industrial properties. The program entails city staff working with the business owner to identify cost-effective water efficiency upgrades and providing funding to help cover a portion of the cost. The Mesa Laundromat received a rebate of $15,000 for the 17 machine replacements, saving about 24,000 gallons of water per month and over 280,000 gallons of water per year. The success of this project also spurred them to replace their older washers in their other laundromat, the Professional Wash Center in Carpinteria. Due to the improved technology, this change has resulted in savings on both their water and sewer bills as well as their gas and electric bills. “The motors have invertor controls which makes the motor

go faster with less electricity consumption. Therefore, the laundry comes out almost dry so you spend less time in the drier, saving gas as well,” said Mr. Rivera. The new washing machines have not only proven to be a benefit to the environment, but to the Mesa Laundromat customers as well. “Our customers are very pleased with the changes,” Mrs. Rivera said. “They feel that the
