Two more wells to be capped in Summerland

NEWS-PRESS STAFF WRITER

Santa Barbara’s Funk Zone neighborhood was lively after the rain cleared — and the stay-at-home order. Tourists and locals relaxed at wine bar patios and browsed local boutiques. “This weekend was one of the best I’ve had in a minute. People were really stoked,” said Shane Braly, general manager of Figueroa Mountain Brewing Co. at 137 Anacapa St. F. The brewery serves Mony’s Mexican Food, so it can serve on the patio as well as pick-up. The traffic Saturday surprised him, and staff members came to help serve customers. He blocked off the patio entrance with a pallet, so he could restrict the flow and keep households separate. He met many customers from L.A. who came to escape the stressful environment at home. “I was shocked how many people Please see FUNK ZONE on A8

The State Lands Commission will cap two more wells on Summerland Beach this year. Olsson #805 and Duquesne #910 are the two wells that will be capped in July, and were identified as part of the process for the recent capping of Treadwell and NorthStar. Since the engineering was completed for those wells, SLC decided to finish all the wells. They will be capped using money from SB44, the Coastal Hazards and Legacy Oil and Gas Well Removal and Remediation Program, authored by former State Sen. Hannah-Beth Jackson. Hillary Hauser, the executive director of the local nonprofit Heal the Ocean, said the organization “screamed” when they heard the news. “Summerland Beach, right now because of getting those two wells capped last November, is a different beach,” she told the News-Press. “I sit here and work on the phone with papers and documents, so when I finally went down to Summerland at the end of all this, I didn’t even know where the wells were. It was just pristine. “It was a clean beach. It looked like the Carribean.” HTO Advisory Board member Harry Rabin is currently working with SLC contractors InterAct to monitor the results of the work and identify other sources of oil in the area, namely seeps. Danny C, a special vessel involved with capping oil seeps, will come in with divers to double check where everything is, and

Curtin Maritime will send its barge and oil divers to do the pile driving, cementing and all other well capping work. “I am just thrilled to be working on physical things that make a physical difference,” Ms. Hauser said. “There’s a certain amount of policymaking that has to go on, but this is an enormous benefit to the ocean, so this kind of project makes me smile big.” The plugging and abandonment for Duquesne and Olsson will be less complex than the previous cappings because of their locations in the tidal zone. The work is expected to start after July 2021 when the next state fiscal year starts and the SLC can access the next annual $2 million from SB44. The capping of these two wells is estimated to cost $1 million. In a statement, HTO wrote, “HTO thanks the SLC for proceeding ahead with Summerland work. There was the possibility of the next round of SB44 funding being used at Haskell’s Beach, near the Bacara, where there are other oil problems. “Summerland Beach is ever so much cleaner, healthier and happier since Treadwell and NorthStar were capped in November 2020, but with this upcoming work, soon this stretch of coastline will be next to pristine. Better yet, there might be enough money left over in this funding cycle to tackle Haskell’s.” A description of the project is available on HTO’s website, healtheocean.org. email: gmccormick@newspress.com

Last week, Rep. Salud Carbajal, D-Santa Barbara, formally reintroduced the California Clean Coast Act, calling for protection for California’s coast from offshore drilling and the impact of oil spills. The bill was Rep. Carbajal’s first bill introduced as a member of Congress, and comes on the heels of President Joe Biden’s executive orders signed last week to temporarily halt oil and gas drilling on federal public lands and offshore waters. The orders also identify steps to double renewable energy production from offshore wind by 2030. Rep. Carbajal’s bill calls for a permanent ban for future offshore oil and gas leasing in the areas off the coast of California. The bill was reintroduced to coincide with the 52nd anniversary of the 1969 Santa Barbara oil spill, in which 100,000 barrels of crude oil were spilled into the local waters. “The Central Coast has witnessed the devastation of oil spills first-hand, including the toll they take on our coastal communities, local economies, and fragile ocean ecosystems. 52 years and several oil spills

later, we must pass this bill and permanently end new oil and gas development off our shore,” Rep. Carbajal said in a statement. “It’s time we relied less on fossil fuels and more on renewable energies, like offshore wind, which will create energy and good-paying jobs without damaging our environment or our planet.” Several local environmental advocates praised Rep. Carbajal and voiced support for the legislation. “The west coast is united in opposition to offshore oil drilling where even small spills can have devastating economic and ecological impacts,” Katie Davis, chair of Santa Barbara Sierra Club, said in a statement. Added Linda Krop, chief counsel of the Environmental Defense Center, which was founded in the aftermath of the 1969 spill, “The California Clean Coast Act is necessary to protect our coast from the threats of offshore oil drilling. From the 1969 blowout at Platform A, to the 2015 pipeline spill along the Gaviota Coast, the Central Coast has suffered the devastating effects of offshore oil development on our communities and those who live, recreate, and work here.

Housing Trust Fund helps first-time homebuyers

hat seemed like an impossibility — especially in Santa Barbara with its high-priced real estate — the American dream of owning one’s home has become a reality for Stacey Walker and Alec Missel. The first-time home buyers were able to purchase a singlestory home in Goleta with the help of the Housing Trust Fund of Santa Barbara County, a nonprofit financing agency whose mission is to expand affordable housing opportunities for low-to-middle income residents and workers in Santa Barbara County. “My wife and I had never bought a home before, and we had a lot to learn when it came to all the vernacular and documentation that comes along with the home buying process,” Mr. Missel said. “The educational services and financing that the Housing Trust Fund of Santa Barbara provided were extremely valuable, and we wouldn’t have been able to buy a house whatsoever without their help.” According to Jennifer McGovern, president and CEO, the primary program of the Housing Trust Fund is a Revolving Loan Fund that provides direct low-cost financing to facilitate rental and home ownership. “We help bridge the financial gap between the cost of housing and what people can afford to pay. We partner with the private, public and nonprofit sectors to raise new financial resources for affordable housing,” she told the News-Press. “Our Workforce Homebuyer Program, launched in May 2012, provides down payment

“We help bridge the financial gap between the cost of housing and what people can afford to pay,” said Jennifer McGovern, president and CEO of the Housing Trust Fund of Santa Barbara County.

assistance to help low-to-moderate income households buy homes in the communities where they work, enabling a stable residence that strengthens the family and the neighborhood.” The biggest obstacle for firsttime homebuyers is coming up with the down payment, said Ms. McGovern, noting that Santa Barbara County is the sixth least affordable small metropolitan housing market in the nation, according to the National Association of Builders. “Some people are fortunate enough to borrow the money from relatives, but many are not. The Housing Fund acts as the relative,” said Ms. McGovern. “We can provide low-cost, fixed-rate down payment loans up to $100,000 to help local employees purchase an affordable home anywhere in Southern Santa Barbara County from the Carpinteria Valley to Gaviota and including the communities of Buellton, Solvang and Santa Ynez.” The Housing Trust Fund has closed a total of 17 loans under the new program. “With home prices on the rise, coming up with a down payment is more difficult than ever. The Housing Trust Fund provided us the money to make

our dream of owning a home a reality. The process was easy and efficient, and working with Yvette Lounsbury, the Workforce Homebuyer Program Administrator, was wonderful to work with,” said Lance Heather. To qualify for the funds, clients must be employed in Santa Barbara County, be first-time home buyers or not have owned a home in the previous three years, and they must take an online homebuyer education course “so they know what they are getting into,” said Ms. McGovern. Annual income requirements for low-to-middle income clients are a maximum of $184,400 for households with one to four people and $243,400 for households of five to eight people. The low-income requirement is a maximum of $87,800 for a family of four. “Most are buying condos or townhouses because of the lower prices, but some are buying single family homes,” said Ms. McGovern, who is especially excited about a new venture the Housing Trust Fund is about to launch. The Housing Innovations Program is a 3D printed

affordable home project that will promote innovative technologies to reduce the cost of constructing affordable housing and utilize sustainable and fire-resistant building materials. “Our first phase is to sponsor the construction of a prototype 3D printed affordable home in collaboration with Apis Cor, an engineering firm that was a NASA finalist to develop housing on Mars. Apis Cor developed a state-of-the-art 3D printing robot that can print entirely on-site a reinforced concrete 407-squarefoot home in 24 hours for a cost of $10,000,” said Ms.McGovern. “The first model will be a small, one-story home to demonstrate the application of 3D printing technology in creating affordable housing. The home will include energy efficiency systems and sustainability features.” She added that the prototype home may target households with special needs, such as low-income families, farm workers, persons with disabilities or homeless persons. Helping with the planning of the project are the UCSB Bren School of the Environment and

the Santa Barbara chapter of the American Institute of Architects who will engage the community in the planning and design by sponsoring a Design Charette. “In all, the Housing Trust Fund has helped 65 low, moderate and middle income families, couples and single persons achieve the dream of homeownership and put down roots in the community. We also designed and managed homebuyer assistance programs

for the cities of Carpinteria and Lompoc,” said Ms. McGovern. “We could not carry out our mission without the generous support of our community, funders, investors and donors, especially the four banks who helped provide us with our initial funds — American Riviera, Community West, Mechanics and Montecito Bank & Trust.” email: mmcmahon@newspress.com

There’s history sewn into that blanket! A collectible among blanket lovers, this Baron product is valued at $250.

L

.F. sends me a simple blue woolen blanket with pink and white stripes, made in those days when we all slept in single beds. There’s an old, tattered label hanging by a thread that reads “Baron Woolen Mills, Brigham City Utah,” and I notice that the “T” in the word “UTAH” has a crescent-shaped top, which is also echoed in a rising sun. The crescent shape is emitting lines or rays. This rising sun is stitched in pink yarn against the blue of the blanket. A history of the Woolen mills uncovers a wonderful story, as well as a date for F.L.’s blanket of the 1930s. I notice that the label bears the shape of the roofline of the mill in silhouette, which is an indicator of the 1930s date. The blanket is connected with the most famous of all Utah celebrities. Back in 1853, Brigham Young sent his colleague Lorenzo Snow to a place called “Box Elder.” Snow, a budding Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints leader, had the idea to form a merchant co-op in Box Elder, the little town that Snow soon renamed Brigham City. The co-op was called the Brigham City Mercantile Manufacturing Association. Snow became the church President in 1898, as well as a major stockholder in the BCM&MA. The woolen mill from whence this sweet blanket comes was the flagship of the BCM&MA, because the making of the mill cost an enormous amount ($34,000) in 1871; a 44- x 48foot stone structure with adobe second story and 40-foot deep shaft to run the water wheel of the mill. The business plan was to buy directly from local sheep farmers, make blankets and fabric, and retail them. And the co-op was successful, making back what the co-op spent on the building in two years’ time. Sadly, six years after

christening the mill, it burned down completely in 1871. The history of the mill is fraught with fire. In its 149 years it burned down four times. The devastation was so severe that Snow faded from management, leaving a worker, the enterprising James Baron, to take over and rebuild. But times and technology were changing, and the city of Hyrum had that newfangled thing called electric power, and Baron moved operations to take advantage of that. Meanwhile in Brigham City, Anthony A. Jenson reformed the mill company as a private enterprise, taking over in 1889, during which time Brigham City used the water wheel at the mil to try to generate the City’s first power system. Then the mill burned down again in 1907. Meanwhile in Hyrum, James Baron’s son Thomas despaired of the abandoned Brigham City mill and moved his family back to Brigham City to rebuild the mill. The Baron family name stood behind the mill till 1988, when Dale and Duke Baron sold the mill. Imagine his shock then in 2014 when Dale Baron, whose family house faced the mill, witnessed a massive fire there as Dale and his grandson Kristopher Baron were spending time together. So many Barons had worked there that a newspaper report from Brigham City at the time says that Kristopher had a tear in his young eye when interviewed about his eyewitness account. I searched for people who collect Baron Woolen Mills blankets, and like the Hudson Bay striped blankets which are famous for their red, green, and white striped design, the Baron

Woolen Mills blankets do have a following. That’s mainly because the blankets are so pretty and soft, made in natural dyed shades of almost pastel colors. I found a gorgeous orange with black stripe affair selling for around $200. I love vintage blankets, not because we need wool blankets in Santa Barbara, but I own a Hudson Bay blanket, and I did purchase that Baron orange affair. (Thanks, L.F., for turning it in onto Baron blankets!) During the pandemic, I have been restoring an old family residence on Lake Arrowhead every other weekend, where the blankets will eventually be ensconced in the pine paneled cabin there. My son’s family comes when I am not there, and everyone loves the old place except the shorthaired dachshund, who has sunk in the snow repeatedly, to his horror. It has been a relief during the pandemic for me to have had something constructive to do, on my own, like the refinishing of the 1930s pine paneling! Once the wood dust clears, my Baron blanket will be making the trip with me, F.L. Yours is worth $250, I would think, because that rising sun motif is collectible amongst blanket aficionados.

Artist Nicole Stasberg created “Wintering: A Fox Tale.” Her intricate paper-cutting technique transformed the Wildling Museum of Art and Nature’s windows into a dramatic winter landscape once lit.

“This current installation is my newest interpretation of the transpiration of water from earth, to plants, to sky,” said Ms. Harmon. “The work is partially inspired by author Richard Hamblyn’s book, “The Invention of Clouds: How an Amateur Meteorologist Forged the Language of the Skies,” about early meteorologist Luke Howard.” The added plants in her Tower Gallery installation were born from a new fascination with the Japanese floral art form of Kokedama or string gardens. “Through quarantine, these literally became my ‘growing’ obsession and the perfect foil for the idea of water transpiration from earth to plant to sky to cloud to rain,” Ms. Harmon said. The Wildling Museum has also announced a window art installation titled “Wintering: A Fox Tale” by artist Nicole

All clouds have silver linings — at least that’s how the expression goes. The Wildling Museum of Art and Nature is kicking off 2021 with an invitation for the public to experience art from the outside-in during its ongoing public closure due to state and local COVID-19 public health mandates for indoor museums. But visitors can still experience the Solvang museum’s exhibits virtually at wildlingmuseum.org. In the museum’s new Tower Gallery installation, “Holli Harmon: The Nature of Clouds,” artist Holli Harmon’s immersive work centers around a Norfolk Island Pine tree floating beneath bright blue, cumulus cloud-filled skies. Large chandelier crystals hang suspended by invisible thread from ceiling to floor in a brilliant rain shower as plants are suspended throughout at varying heights. These plants — made up of kokedama moss balls — are planted with coleus, spider plants and various succulents. Centered beneath the suspended crystals and plants are three weathered eucalyptus tree stumps, their faces covered with mirrors to reflect back the sky and patterns above. The exhibition will be on view through fall 2021. Clouds have been an inspiring source material for Ms. Harmon since 2016 when she first began her work on The River’s Journey exhibition project, exploring the Santa Ynez River and examining all elements of the water cycle. “I learned that this transpiration circle begins and ends in the clouds— water’s highest source,” Ms. Harmon said. Ms. Harmon’s process included research in all its forms, from scientific to poetic. She said she became particularly inspired by 19thcentury British meteorologist Luke Howard’s cloud classification system, as well as cloud poetry by writer Johann Goethe and contemporary poet Mark Strand.

Stasberg. The series of papercut fox silhouettes was specially designed by Ms. Strasburg to bring joy and wonder to passersby during the museum’s extended closure and bring art to the sidewalk for visitors to enjoy from the outside-in. The public is invited to enjoy the works, which are illuminated at night, through the spring. “We wanted to create something exciting for the windows that would let everyone know we were only hibernating, not closed forever,” Ms. Strasburg said in a news release. “With my love for animals and the fox being the Wildling Museum mascot, it seemed fitting to do something with a fox theme.” Ms. Strasburg’s intricate papercutting technique transformed the museum’s windows into a dramatic winter landscape once lit. “Wintering and hibernating are not always a dormant time, it’s also a time of great imagination and rejuvenation, a time to recharge,” she said. “Designing and cutting the paper images as well as configuring the armature to hold the creation were a wonderful way to pass the time in quarantine with the added benefit of bringing attention to the museum.” Ms. Strasburg donated her time to the Wildling Museum in a joint effort to find creative ways to bring visibility to the museum while continuing to inspire and engage audiences during the ongoing COVID-19 restrictions on indoor museums. email: gfall@newspress.com

Venus enters Aquarius, which makes it the best time to start a budding romance. Break some rules and show someone how you feel, Aries. Venus and Saturn conjoin later in the week, creating indecision around whether to go out or stay at home.

Libra

Let go, Libra. It’s the best time to allow your inner rebel to come out—as Venus is moving into your pleasure zone. Finally, over the weekend, you may feel pressure from certain people.

Venus is moving into your career zone, Taurus. What’s that mean? It’s time to switch up your approach to work. Perhaps it’s time to think outside the box in terms of what can and cannot be accomplished. Gemini

Oh, Gemini. You’re usually so full of curiosity. Well, Venus moving into your sector of philosophy and opportunity is going to spur that curiosity all the more. Use this time to hang out with different kinds of people—make new friends. Cancer

Oh, Scorpio. You’ve got a lot going on at home these days. There are five planets in your family sector—so we won’t blame you if you need some alone time this week. Love and attraction is going to be big this week—especially if you’re bold enough to get out of the house and do things for you. Sagittarius

Venus is moving into your communication zone, Sagittarius. You may get the impulse to do some redecorating, but it’s time to be logical about your spending. It’s not wise to go through with purchases right now!

With Venus entering your intimacy zones on Monday, Cancer, things are heating up. Fall in love, allow yourself to go all in. Now is the time. The weekend brings another Venus aspect, but this one asks you to resist change—and that could hurt your bank account.

Capricorn

Leo

Aquarius

Being a Leo means you love falling in love. Well, guess what? This week is the week! You could finally let go and fall for your other half over the next couple days. Later in the week though, Venus will connect with Saturn—which could cause some distance between you and your partner. Virgo

This week, Venus enters Aquarius in your career sector. So guess what, Virgo? It’s time to get to work (your favorite thing to do). The next couple weeks won’t be easy, but they will bring about successes that have long awaited you. You may feel distant this weekend. Take

The planet of love has been in your sign over the past couple weeks. But this week, Venus moves into Aquarius in your sector of value. Focus on what you own, Capricorn, but don’t focus too much—you’re prone to jealousy right now!

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.

SBCC is showing Dave Loveton some real love NEWS-PRESS STAFF REPORT

Santa Barbara City College Director of Athletics Rocco Constantino announced that Sports Information Specialist Dave Loveton will be the sole member of the Class of 2021 for the SBCC Vaqueros Hall of Fame, according to a school news release. Loveton has been with SBCC since he was hired by thenDirector of Athletics Mike Warren in 2006. He will be honored along with the Class of 2020 at a virtual event later this year. “I was very happy and very surprised and humbled when I was told I would be inducted,� said Loveton. “I had no idea I was even being considered. It was a nice surprise and Rocco played a good trick on me.� Loveton learned of the special honor during a staff Zoom call last Thursday. “Dave and I have had conversations about taking some of the responsibilities off his plate when we return to competition, and we felt like this was the perfect time to honor him in our Hall of Fame,� said Constantino. “Now Dave can always say he was a first-ballot Hall of Famer and in a class by himself.� Loveton first made a name for himself in the local sports community as a writer and columnist for the Santa Barbara News-Press. He was hired by the paper in September of 1981, and spent 24 years as a sportswriter and columnist. He has lived in Santa Barbara for 42 years. “I have worked with so many great sportswriters. Guys like John Zant, Barry Punzal, Mark Patton and many others,� said

Loveton. “I’m surprised to be the first one of those guys to be inducted into a Hall of Fame.� During his time at SBCC, Loveton transformed the Sports Information Department and adapted with the times. As schools started to utilize websites and social media, Loveton was always sure SBCC was a leader in those areas. “Social media has become very important,� said Loveton. “When I started, we had an old website, and you couldn’t even upload box scores or rosters. The website is a great tool and we have been able to grow our Twitter account to become one of the top 10 in the California Community College Athletic Association.� Loveton grew up in Glendale and played basketball at Glendale High School and Glendale Community College before attending UCSB from 1979-1981. He will be honored along with the SBCC Vaqueros Hall of Fame Class of 2020, which includes former players Jesse Orosco (baseball), Don Ford (basketball), Tim Tremblay (football), Cindy Banks (track & field), Kieran (O’Leary) Roblee (volleyball) and coaches Ed DeLacy and Kathy O’Connor, along with the 1983 State Champion Men’s Volleyball Team. The department is planning a virtual event but has not yet set a date. “With so much uncertainty related to the pandemic, we are going to be having a virtual event,� said Constantino. “We don’t want to keep the Class of 2020 in limbo and decided to move forward, virtually. There are great examples of virtual Hall of Fame events we can use as a template and we can consider an informal in-person event at a later date as

Sports Information Specialist Dave Loveton will be inducted into the SBCC Vaqueros Hall of Fame.

well. I am sure with the people we’re inducting and the support we have here at SBCC, it will be a first-class event.� Mike Robles, the Director of Sports Information for the CCCAA, shared his thoughts about Loveton’s professionalism. “Dave is truly one of the top sports information professionals in the CCCAA,� Robles said. “The volume of information he produces is impressive, but not as much as the quality. His coverage of SBCC Athletics is thorough. He’s a tremendous writer and he is steadfast in his primary goal of putting the spotlight on the Vaqueros’ student-athletes, coaches and teams. “We’re spoiled to have someone as talented as him among our ranks because if you ever want to point to someone that does it right, you only need to point to Dave. The CCCAA state office is grateful to have Dave help us in

covering the CCCAA state tennis championships in Ojai and Ventura each year because he treats the teams like they were his own and provides excellent recaps and information. I’ve been around many great SIDs in the last 32 years and Dave is definitely among the best that I’ve worked with. By their nature, SIDs would rather stay behind the scenes, but Dave’s induction into the Hall of Fame is welldeserved and he’s earned the recognition.� Loveton’s sports journalism days began when he was the sports editor of his high school newspaper. He then went on to serve as the sports editor of the Glendale Community College school paper and the Daily Nexus, the school newspaper for UCSB. “I believe that our sports are teams, not just individuals, so I try not to focus on just one person,�

Ryan Capretta. I suggested the headline, ‘Hail Yes!’ and it ran in huge type in the News-Press the next day.� Loveton also remembered when the baseball team rallied from a 9-2 deficit with seven runs in the bottom of the ninth in 2014 and went on to stun No. 1 Oxnard 10-9 on a sacrifice fly by Jimmy Hill in the 10th. And he’s been impressed by the success of the women’s water polo team, which won a state title in just its fourth season in 2017 and has won six straight WSC titles and 30 or more games for four straight years. Loveton was also awarded a Santa Barbara City College “Everyday Hero Award� by thenPresident/Superintendent Dr. Anthony Beebe in 2018. Dr. Beebe presented Loveton the award during a ceremony at an SBCC basketball doubleheader and said at the time, “Many of the parents, grandparents, friends and others related to the athletes depend upon your stories and statistics to understand what their kids are doing. For all those reasons and more, I’m going to present you with the ‘Everyday Hero Award.’� While reflecting on his time at SBCC, Loveton remained humble and gracious. “I love going to the games, it keeps me young,� said Loveton. “I love City College sports, keeping statistics and making sure everything is done right. My office is on top of La Playa Stadium and it’s one of the most beautiful views in America with the palm trees and Pacific Ocean in the background. It doesn’t get any better than that.� email: news@newspress.com

said Loveton. “I try to use photos of different people and if someone who usually doesn’t score a lot has a good game, I want to make sure they’re recognized. I enjoy covering the coaching milestones too. Like if a coach gets his 200th win, I want to make sure we’re aware of that and that they’re recognized.� Loveton was the Southern California Golf Writer of the Year in 1997 with the Santa Barbara News-Press, and was one of four finalists in the state of California for the Brass Top Award in 2018. The Brass Top Award is given to the top Sports Information Director in the state of California and is awarded by the California Community College Sports Information Association. When asked about his favorite memories at SBCC, Loveton said there were too many to list. “Looking back, we have 11 state championships in our history, but I was only at one of them,� said Loveton. “That was the 1996 Men’s Soccer team in Sacramento with Tim Von Steeg coaching. But we had a lot of great teams. I have enjoyed covering our Water Polo success in recent years. I enjoy the football games and use to even go to the away games, too.� Loveton said perhaps the best Vaquero game he ever covered came before he was working at SBCC when he was writing for the News-Press. “In 1996, we were playing LA Valley and they were No. 3 in the nation,� Loveton recalled. “We were down two touchdowns with just a couple of minutes left and we scored two TDs in the last two minutes to win it. The winning pass came on a long Hail Mary from current Santa Barbara High Head Coach J.T. Stone to

Notice for Public Comment County of Santa Barbara Public Health Department Santa Barbara County Environmental Health Services is proposing to approve a Supplemental Investigation / Remedial Action Workplan to address limited petroleum impacts remaining at the Erburu Lease (Site) from former historical operations. The Site is located within the foothills of the Santa Ynez Mountains, approximately 12 miles northwest of the City of Goleta. The Site contains abandoned oil wells and associated well pads, concrete well cellars, above- and below-ground piping, and oil field debris. Limited petroleum impacts associated with past oilfield operations have been observed in soil in the vicinity of the historical oilfield infrastructure. Areas where petroleum concentrations exceed applicable environmental screening levels will be excavated and subsequently backfilled with clean soil, restored with native vegetation, and monitored. Information and a fact sheet about the site (SMU Site #20258) is available on the SWRCB’s GeoTracker website at: https:// geotracker.waterboards.ca.gov/ profile_report?global_id=T10000013758 Public Comments must be submitted by March 3, 2021 to: Santa Barbara County Environmental Health Services SMU/LUFT Program 2125 S.

The undersigned Trustee disclaims any liability for any incorrectness of the property address or other common designation, if any, shown above. If no street address or other common designation is shown, directions to the location of the property may be obtained by sending a written request to the beneficiary within 10 days of the date of first publication of this Notice of Trustee’s Sale. If the Trustee is unable to convey title for any reason, the successful bidder’s sole and exclusive remedy shall be the return of monies paid to the Trustee and the successful bidder shall have no further recourse. NOTICE TO POTENTIAL BIDDERS: If you are considering bidding on this property lien, you should understand that there are risks involved in bidding at a trustee auction. You will be bidding on a lien, not the property itself. Placing the highest bid at a trustee auction does not automatically entitle you to free and clear ownership of the property. You should also be aware that the lien being auctioned off may be a junior lien. If you are the highest bidder at the auction, you are or may be responsible for paying off all liens senior to the lien being auctioned off, before you can receive clear title to the property. You are encouraged to investigate the existence, priority, and size of outstanding liens that may exist on this property by contacting the county recorder’s office or a title insurance company, either of which may charge you a fee for this information. If you consult either of these resources, you should be aware that the same lender may hold more than one mortgage or deed of trust on the property. If the sale occurs after 1/1/2021, the sale may not be final until either 15 or 45 days after the sale date - see Notice to Tenant. Further, no TDUS can be issued until the sale is final. Your bid is subject to being over bid by the Tenant or “eligible bidder� after the sale and if your bid is over bid, your only remedy is to the refund of your actual bid amount without interest or payment of any other costs, expenses or funds of any kind or nature incurred by the initial successor bidder. NOTICE TO PROPERTY OWNER: The sale date shown on this notice of sale may be postponed one or more times by the mortgagee, beneficiary, trustee, or a court, pursuant to Section 2924g of the California Civil Code. The law requires that information about trustee sale postponements be made available to you and to the public, as a courtesy to those not present at the sale. If you wish to learn whether your sale date has been postponed, and, if applicable, the rescheduled time and date for the sale of this property, you may call (916) 939-0772 for information regarding the trustee’s sale or visit this Internet Website www.nationwideposting.com for information regarding the sale of this property, using the file number assigned to this case, 20-0127. Information about postponements that are very short in duration or that occur close in time to the scheduled sale may not immediately be reflected in the telephone information or on the Internet Website. The best way to verify postponement information is to attend the scheduled sale. NOTICE TO TENANT: You may have a right to purchase this property after the trustee auction pursuant to Section 2924m of the California Civil Code. If you are an “eligible tenant buyer,� you can purchase the property if you match the last and highest bid placed at the trustee auction. If you are an “eligible bidder,� you may be able to purchase the property if you exceed the last and highest bid placed at the trustee auction. There are three steps to exercising this right of purchase. First, 48 hours after the date of the trustee sale, you can call (916) 939-0772, or visit this internet website www.nationwideposting.com, using the file number assigned to this case 20-0127 to find the date on which the trustee’s sale was held, the amount of the last and highest bid, and the address of the trustee. Second, you must send a written notice of intent to place a bid so that the trustee receives it no more than 15 days after the trustee’s sale. Third, you must submit a bid so that the trustee receives it no more than 45 days after the trustee’s sale. If you think you may qualify as an “eligible tenant buyer� or “eligible bidder,� you should consider contacting an attorney or appropriate real estate professional immediately for advice regarding this potential right to purchase.

Supes to Council to make appointments to Community Formation Commission discuss cannabis operations By GRAYCE MCCORMICK NEWS-PRESS STAFF WRITER

By GRAYCE MCCORMICK NEWS-PRESS STAFF WRITER

Tuesday morning, the Santa Barbara County Board of Supervisors will consider an ordinance that addresses changes in the business licensing and land use permitting processes for cannabis operations. The board adopted the code licensing commercial cannabis operations in May of 2018, but over the past year, staff received feedback from the cannabis stakeholder community including residents, department staff and business license applicants, regarding inefficiencies and inconsistencies in the process. Revisions include the following areas: definitions, business license required, business license exemptions, application content, criminal history and security plan, license issuance by the Treasurer-Tax Collector’s Department, change in ownership and procedure for denial, suspension or revocation. In other business, the board will be asked to consider a request from the Central Coast Water Authority to approve two Water Supply Contract Amendments. The first amendment, Amendment 20, makes it clear that Santa Barbara County would continue to receive water deliveries from the State Water Project. “These deliveries are critical for several CCWA participants where SWP deliveries are an important part of their water supplies. In addition, it must be noted that surface water reservoirs in the county are aging and suffering from siltation and other restrictions that result in less water available moving forward,” the staff report reads. Amendment 21 allows individual contractors the ability to sell and buy water without the commitment to return or receive water in exchange. “The current State Water Contract does not allow outright sales of water, but only allows exchanges, with repayment of water in future water years,” the board letter says. “These exchanges are allowed to be unbalanced, with a higher repayment in future years in order to receive urgently needed water in the short term.

Goleta Union to begin bond program By ANNELISE HANSHAW NEWS-PRESS STAFF WRITER

The Goleta Union School District prepares for its bond program during a special meeting of the board at 6:30 p.m. Tuesday. Before the district sees any of the $80 million authorized in bond measure M2020, it must certify the results of the election and form an oversight committee. The measure was approved by 71.32% of voters in the Nov. 3 election. The oversight committee must have at least seven members, none of which may be district employees or consultants. The following five categories must also be represented: a businessperson from the community, a person active in a senior citizen organization, someone active in a bona fide taxpayer organization, a parent or guardian of a child in the district and a parent or guardian involved in a parent-teacher organization. Attorneys Janet Mueller and Lauren Charneski from Dannis Woliver Kelley will advise the board on beginning the process. The agenda allots an hour

and a half for the discussion. Goleta Union last passed a bond measure in 1996. M2020 taxes an estimated $19.31 annually per $100,000 of assessed value of properties within the district’s boundaries. The funds will upgrade the schools’ science, technology, engineering, arts and mathematics classrooms. Many local schools are investing in “STEAM” labs also. It will upgrade the district’s heating, ventilation and air conditioning systems and replace old electrical systems. The district also anticipates roof and plumbing repairs. Solar and renewable energy products will increase the district’s sustainable practices. Internet connectivity and classroom technology will also receive an upgrade. Restrooms, playgrounds and classrooms that do not meet the requirements of the Americans with Disabilities Act will be renovated for accessibility. Small retrofitting projects are also part of the bond program. email: ahanshaw@newspress.com

Legislation intended to protect state’s coast from threat of oil spills carbajal

Continued from Page A1

We know that when it comes to offshore oil drilling, it is not a question of if – but when – another spill will devastate our beaches and ocean waters. “The California Clean Coast Act will preserve our precious coast from the threats of future oil spills and climate change.” Michael Cohwn, owner of Santa Barbara Adventure company, described the Channel Islands and the local coastline as “our office, our classroom, our playground and our sanctuary,” in voicing support for the legislation. “Fragile marine ecosystems rely on our coastlines as their habitat and for survival. We are their voice,” he said. “We need to continue to protect our coastlines, to ensure coastal outdoor recreation opportunities for generations to come, as well as protect small businesses and the tourism industry alike through the preservation of a pristine coastal environment.” The reintroduction came following a bill introduced by Sen.

Dianne Feinstein, D-California, calling for a permanent ban on oil and gas drilling in federal waters. A companion bill was expected to be introduced in the House. Sen. Feinstein’s bill, the West Coast Ocean Protection Act, would make the moratorium permanent in federal waters along the West Coast preventing future administrations from overturning it, according to a news release. “California understands all too well the danger that offshore drilling poses to our oceans and coastal economies,” Sen. Feinstein said in a statement. “President Biden is committed to reducing our carbon emissions, and I applaud his decision to enact a temporary moratorium. This bill takes that action a step further, codifying the proposal so future administrations can’t overturn it. It’s time to permanently ban new offshore oil and gas drilling along the West Coast. Doing so represents a giant step toward the vital goal of building a cleaner, more sustainable energy future.” According to Sen. Feinstein, no new offshore drilling has been allowed in federal waters along the Pacific Coast since 1984. However, the Trump

decisions made and a framework to explain the concept plan, which says, “De la Guerra Plaza celebrates and honors the historic heart of our city and provides the flexibility to serve our community’s diverse social, cultural, historic, economic and environmental vitality.” The council will also consider the appeal of Anna Marie Gott of the Planning Commission’s approval of a Coastal Development Permit for bicycle share stations in the Coastal Zone, as was postponed from last week’s meeting. The meeting will begin at 2 p.m. on Tuesday, and can be viewed on City TV Channel 18 or live streamed at www. santabarbaraca.gov/cap.

The main goals are as follows: to make it a place that incorporates the history of the city as it is surrounded by four historic buildings and a place that facilitates activity, meetings, dining, and gatherings, and yet also can be a place of respite. “It needs to be made beautiful again and consistent with the aesthetics throughout the downtown area; and it needs to assist in bringing vitality to the downtown corridor,” the staff report reads. The council will provide guidance on the following: artwork, cultural representation, site furnishings, public outreach, connectivity and integration of State Street and De La Guerra Street, parking and the front of City Hall on the Anacapa side. The advisory committee created a purpose statement to ground the

administration released a fiveyear offshore leasing plan in 2018 that proposed opening up the entire West Coast to new drilling despite widespread opposition in Pacific coast states. That proposal has been blocked by the courts but the threat of drilling will remain until a permanent ban is enacted. email: mwhite@newspress.com

Goleta City Council to consider Goleta Valley Neighborhood Court Pilot Program By GRAYCE MCCORMICK NEWS-PRESS STAFF WRITER

The county of Santa Barbara’s District Attorney’s Office and Second District Supervisor’s Office will give a presentation to the Goleta City Council on Tuesday regarding the Goleta Valley Neighborhood Court Pilot Program. Second District Supervisor Gregg Hart’s Office has met with city staff and Mayor Paula Perotte to discuss Goleta’s potential involvement in the Goleta Valley Neighborhood Court Pilot Program, which is a restorative justice-based program aimed at diverting low-level offenses from the criminal justice system. The city will consider supporting the program by helping promote volunteer recruitment efforts, providing a meeting space and eventually providing/ suggesting community service opportunities for program participants. The council will also be asked to consider an informal Memorandum of Understanding between Goleta and participating members of the Cycle California Coast and authorize a $500 annual financial contribution to CCC. The funding would supplement

the organization’s operation, and the purpose of the MOU is to formalize the joint efforts to create and maintain regional bicycle infrastructure for the benefit of residents and visitors to Santa Barbara and Ventura Counties. CCC’s strategic plan objectives include: “make Santa Barbara and Ventura Counties premier bicycle tourism destinations and facilitate cycling along the California coast; improve the safety, livability and quality of life of our communities by improving the bicycling environment for local commuting and recreational uses; convene a unique coalition of business, tourism, advocacy and government organizations to improve bicycling in our area and communicate opportunities for bicyclecentered adventures; develop a sustainable structure for Cycle California Coast to ensure long-term success.” The council will also recognize Vyto Adomaitis for his 19 years of service for the city, as he moves to a new position in Oxnard. The meeting will begin at 5:30 p.m. on Tuesday, and can be viewed on Goleta Channel 19 or online at https://tinyurl.com/ GoletaMeetings. email: gmccormick@newspress.com

Santa Maria City Council to receive user fee concept presentation By GRAYCE MCCORMICK NEWS-PRESS STAFF WRITER

On Tuesday, the Santa Maria City Council will receive the cost of service study and the preliminary user fee cost recovery level policy from the director of finance. In 2005, the city adopted user fees for various city departments based on a study that year, and except for July 2020, those fees were annually increased by the consumer price index. Since then, changes have occurred and the costs outpaced CPI increases. The council will be asked to consider the user fee cost recovery level policy that proposes to set municipal fees on cost recovery levels in lieu of fully subsidizing

fee-related activities with general fund dollars. “In these times of acute financial difficulty for local government, it is incumbent upon city departments to vigorously review areas of operation that are for the direct benefit of taxpayers,” the staff report reads. If the city adopted the user fees recommended in the study, city revenues could increase by approximately $3,380,000 on an annual basis. The meeting will begin at 5:30 p.m. on Tuesday, and can be viewed on Comcast Channel 23 or the city’s YouTube channel at https://www.youtube.com/ playlist?list=PLN7bMlSUIgZe GyM57KCt4RkzjEFZuGi78.. email: gmccormick@newspress.com

MONDAY, FEBRUARY 1, 2021

DICKINSON, Jack A. Jack A. Dickinson passed away peacefully on January 26, 2021 in Santa Barbara. Jack was born April 1, 1934 to John Addison and Florence Elizabeth Dickinson of Cleveland Heights, Ohio. Jack was raised in Cleveland along with his sister Betty where he attended elementary school. In junior high the family moved to Southern California. While in junior high Jack discovered his love for radio electronics and received his First-Class Amateur Radio Operator’s License (N6PI) which he held for over 60 years. In 1960 Jack married Bonnie, the love of his life. After living in Granada Hills, CA they eventually settled in Santa Barbara with their three children Sherri, Linda, and Kathy. His interest in electronics and strong work ethic developed into a successful, interesting, and challenging career in electrical engineering at Raytheon, in Goleta, where he worked for over 40 years. His love for his family, as well as his dedication to his work were immeasurable. Classical music, photography, traveling, boating, camping trips, trail bike outings, family gatherings and special trips to Disneyland with his 9 grandchildren, were among his favorite things. Not to be forgotten, was his love for a good Reuben sandwich and a glass of root beer. After retiring at the age of 72, Jack and Bonnie began traveling to destinations near and far. First in their camper and then to Europe, China, and Africa. Jack will be missed by his wife Bonnie, their three daughters, Sherri (her husband Bill), Linda (her husband Mark), Kathy (her husband David), nine grandchildren, 3 great-grandchildren and his sister Betty. A private family service was held January 30,2021. It’s been a “Wonderful Life’’……Jack. Arrangements entrusted to Welch-Ryce-Haider Funeral Chapels.

‘People are just itching to get out’ FUNK ZONE

Continued from Page A1

came from out of town, a ton of people from L.A., a ton of people from the Bay Area,” he said. “The amount of people from out of town has been wild the last couple of days.” Locals were also eager to leave their living rooms, and his regulars wanted to support the business. “Lockdown for people in Santa Barbara is just rough,” he said. “People are just itching to get out.” Sunday, Corks ‘n Crowns, a wine bar at 32 Anacapa St., had pairs of customers around its patio. Manager Nick Morello estimated that 75% were local to Santa Barbara. Tuesday, though, was mostly daytrippers excited to get out once the lockdown was lifted. Almost all of the patio’s seats, set for social distancing, were full.

Mr. Morello recently added an outdoor fireplace and heaters to accommodate the outdoor seating. He predicts it’ll take a long time before the business is operating normally. He’s being extra careful to make sure his staff is safe. He hasn’t had any trouble filling shifts, as the servers were ready to get back behind the bar. During the lockdown, Corks ‘n Crowns sold bottles, but it wasn’t enough to run a business. Customers barely tip when they bought bottles the last couple months. Mr. Braly said he felt lucky when people tipped a dollar. “But now they’re tipping better than ever,” Mr. Morello said. He said business has been great recently and that customers have been happy to be back. (They were certainly happy Sunday, many dressed up for the occasion.) Business excelled in the red tier at Corks ‘n Crowns. He said it felt back to normal, almost.

He longs for that day again, but he’s glad to have the patio open and sells tastings as well as wine by the glass. Boutiques, while open under the stay-at-home order, have benefitted from the local foot traffic. “The wineries push (customers) here, and we push them to the wineries. We definitely like to emphasize community, and if we don’t have something, we like refer them to the other boutiques,” Griffen Phillips, employee at The Shopkeepers, said. “We love to share the love. We’ve all worked in this area of Santa Barbara for so long that it’s just nice to show the community love,” he said. Christmas shopping helped the store make sales during the lockdown, but he’s glad now that the rest of the Funk Zone can thrive. He’s seen both tourists and locals shopping — except during heavy rain when the street

flooded up to the curb. The Shopkeepers, at 137 Anacapa St. A, partnered with Moss Jacobs, senior vice president at Goldenvoice, to sell his collection of Santa Barbara Bowl concert posters to benefit the Bowl. Posters range from $200 for a Beastie Boys poster to a $2,000 Velvet Revolver poster. Many have sold over the past two months, and customers continue to visit the store to look at the unique posters. Whether a business had an eye-catching promotion or just a couple heaters on the patio, tourists and locals came to spend a little cash Sunday afternoon. Lines formed outside of bike and buggy rental businesses, and people waited for a latte at Dart Coffee. It was still easy to keep six-feet apart from people, but there were plenty out shopping.

UCSB Arts & Lectures hosts Anna Deavere Smith

Dance teacher to receive prosthetic leg

Anna Deavere Smith will perform “Notes From the Field / Snapshots: Portraits of a World in Transition,” a play about injustice in lowincome communities, as part of UCSB Arts & Lectures’ Race to Justice virtual event series. The performance followed by an audience Q&A will begin at 7 p.m. Tuesday., and ticket holders may replay the event for one week. Ms. Deavere Smith, a MacArthur Foundation honored playwright, uses theater to communicate complex issues of community, character and diversity in America. She is known for conversation-starting one-woman shows. Tickets are $10 for the general public and free for UCSB students. To register, go to artsandlectures.ucsb.edu or call (805) 893-3535 for more information.

A GoFundMe has generated community support for Derrick Curtis, a physical education specialist at Montessori Center School and ballroom dance instructor at Santa Barbara Dance Center. The fundraiser, organized by Daniel Bollag, assists Mr. Curtis as he undergoes a leg amputation today. He will be fitted with a prosthetic leg to continue his athletic and rhythmic movements. A total of $20,435 has been donated by 167 donors, almost halfway to the $50,000 goal. The fundraiser was launched last Wednesday by Mr. Bollag, who says Mr. Curtis taught his children “how to love music, dance and life.” To visit the fundraising page, go to gf.me/v/c/ dhkv/derrick-curtis-amputation-and-prosthetic.
