Goleta City Council to hear COVID-19 Economic Recovery Plan

NEWS-PRESS STAFF WRITER

By GRAYCE MCCORMICK

In a last-minute special meeting of the city’s Architectural Board of Review, members reviewed the proposed plan for the new Santa Barbara Police Department headquarters on Friday. The building, proposed to replace the existing 1.61-acre Cota Commuter parking lot at Santa Barbara and Cota streets, would be a three-story, approximately 53-foot high, 65,000 square foot structure, along with a 37.5 foot high, 86,000 square foot parking structure with 244 parking spaces. The hearing on Friday didn’t require an appealable decision; rather, the applicant requested ABR approval on its compliance with the compatibility analysis so that the project can go to the Planning Commission for discretionary approval. While a few members pointed out some concerns, the board voted 4-2 that the project complies with the city charter, passes the compatibility analysis, is an appropriate size, preserves local landmarks and historic resources, has enough open space and doesn’t impact public views. Board Chair Kevin Moore was one of the dissenting votes, and his biggest concern was the parking garage, which spans the entire Cota Street side of the block. Board member Lauren Anderson voted no as well. “I understand that wording about parking garages that says that if there’s no other option, we can orient the parking garage so that it’s perpendicular to the

Goleta city staff will present the COVID-19 Economic Recovery Plan to the city council on Tuesday. The plan includes the following subject areas: a plan goal; financial assistance; support for commercial and residential tenants; collaboration with regional partners; communications, marketing tools and resources; business-friendly policies and programs; continuing development projects; Santa Barbara County RISE Guide for Reopening; and an economic development strategic plan, among other content. Along with being asked to adopt the plan, council will also be asked to authorize a grant of $100,000 for the emergency rental assistance program, add $66,500 to the memorandum of understanding between the City of Goleta and the Santa Barbara Foundation and issue a request for proposals for an economic development strategic plan. “Attempting to plan for the future in some orderly way, and to outline a plan for economic recovery has been increasingly challenging,” the staff report reads. “Recovery plans tend to work well when there is some sense of a finality to an event (i.e., fire, flood, terrorist attack) as opposed to what we are facing now which are conditions largely controlled by a public health and economic crisis that is constantly changing.” In other business, staff will be asked to adopt an ordinance clarifying the temporary moratorium on residential

street, but you’ve not represented any clear case through all of your studies that this is the only way to do this parking garage such that it can’t be fully screened by the building, so that’s my first hangup,” Chair Moore said. “Secondly … This is the downtown core where people are walking constantly past this site and to have lengths of blocks, very nearly two-thirds of the block, as parking garage … It’s dead frontage. That’s not contributing to our city and the desirable qualities we want to promote. Those are the ones I’m struggling with the most and I think they’re pretty important.” He added that he believes this early on in the process that the project planners have the flexibility to “lay it out in such a way that is good for the

with the project’s garage elevation and staff’s softening of the architecture, as was a request from the last ABR review of the police station. The fact that the special meeting was held for the project was the reason for the resignation of Board member David Watkins last week. He said he didn’t find it fair that the firm designing this project was able to request a meeting and get it granted when a number of other firms in town don’t get the same opportunity. He added that he supports the project itself, but couldn’t sit with the decision to allow an expedited process for one firm and not every other firm planning a city project. email: gmccormick@newspress.com

surrounding community.” If not, though, he said that part of Cota Street “is going to be essentially devoid of activity and not contributing to our urban environment.” Board member Richard Six had concerns with the building’s entrance, and said he wished it was more inviting and on the corner of Cota and Santa Barbara streets instead of just on Santa Barbara Street. However, he said for the record that the board understands there needs to be a balance between public desires/aesthetics and functional requirements of a police station. Mr. Six added that the applicant should further study how to find more inviting treatment to the garage. Members deemed the height acceptable, and were pleased

evictions to comport with recent changes in state law and setting forth the facts constituting such urgency. Under Goleta’s eviction moratorium ordinance, residential tenants are not obligated to pay rent if they can’t afford to do so because of COVID-19, but they’re obligated to repay it beginning March 1 and finish by Feb. 28, 2022. When Goleta lifts the local emergency and the repayment period is over, tenants may be evicted for nonpayment of rent. Senate Bill 91 delays and shortens the repayment period from March 31 through Feb. 28 to Aug. 1 through Aug. 31. The city’s repayment period is preempted by SB 91, so the ordinance must be amended to conform to state law. “The City Council could choose not to adopt this ordinance amendment; however, the repayment period provided for in SB 91 would still pre-empt the City’s repayment period. Not amending the existing ordinance would create confusion as portions of it are now inconsistent with state law,” the staff report says. The council will also receive a presentation regarding the status of the Draft Santa Barbara Airport Land Use Compatibility Plan and Airport Runway Safety Zones, but no action is required. They will also proclaim February as Teen Dating Violence Awareness Month. The meeting will begin at 5:30 p.m. Tuesday evening, and can be viewed on Goleta Channel 19 or online at https://tinyurl.com/ GoletaMeetings.

Titled “Runway,” the largescale, bright sculptural pavilions are installed at Pardall Gardens, at 6514 Pardall Road through May. “Public art adds enormous value and richness to the cultural, aesthetic, and economic vitality of communities,” 3rd District Supervisor Joan Hartmann said in a statement. “I am thrilled that this installation will help to foster a sense of community pride, a sense of belonging, and enhance the quality of life for Isla Vistans with creativity and artistic expression.” The pavilions were designed by Greg Corso and Molly Hunker of the award-winning design and architecture collaborative SPORTS as a commission by the Santa Barbara Museum of Contemporary Art. The artwork has popped up around the county since 2017. The work responds to the vivid light and colorful skyscapes of the area. The modular structure seeks to connect visitors to the natural landscape — and each other. “IVRPD is thrilled to host the installation at Pardall Gardens for its modern design elements that blend nature with architecture, for its brilliant use of color and light, and for the connection it fosters between people and parks within the Isla Vista Community,” Kimberly Kiefer, general manager of the Isla Vista Recreation and Park District, said in a statement. “More so than ever, we believe it is important that people have access to safe and engaging outdoor recreational spaces, and the Runaway Art installation is a wonderful collaborative opportunity between IVRPD and Santa Barbara County that enhances the parkgoer’s experience.” Since forming in 2010, SPORTS has designed and constructed a number of large-scale architectural installations around the country. Deeply engaging, their work promotes fresh and unexpected experiences in the built environment. Additional resources for the exhibition are available on the Office of Arts & Culture website at www.sbac.ca.gov.

Administrators and staff at Isla Vista Elementary School last week distributed assignment packets for elementary students in the school in an effort that has been widely adopted by the Goleta Union School District during the COVID-19 pandemic. As a way to provide assignments during remote learning, administrators package paper assignments, crafts and worksheets in plastic bags for students every other week. Parents of students come to the school once every two weeks to pick up their student’s packets and turn in any completed assignments that are in need of grading. Typically, parents can pick up materials every other Friday of the month. But because of the long holiday weekend for Presidents’ Day, distribution day was held district-wide last Thursday.

Hospice vignettes Terminally ill patients enrich life of nurse at VNA Health By MARILYN MCMAHON NEWS-PRESS STAFF WRITER

“Isn’t it depressing?” Kym Renga is used to the question being asked when people find out that she is a hospice nurse who cares for the terminally ill. “To which I answer, ‘No, not at all. It’s another phase of life, and I get to know wonderful people who have led interesting lives, especially if they are older. I help guide them at this vulnerable time,” said Mrs. Renga, a registered nurse on the staff at VNA Health (formerly Visiting Nurse & Hospice Care) since 2012. “I have had my own personal experiences that have helped me understand what people are going through. I feel like a member of the club. I remember always what it was like to have my own mom die of ALS and how that hospice nurse treated my family with such tenderness,” she told the NewsPress. At the time, Mrs. Renga never thought she would have a career as a hospice nurse. In fact, she didn’t plan on being a nurse at all, even though her mother had been a nurse practitioner, and her grandmother was a nurse, too. “At the age of 38, I decided to get my nursing degree at Santa Barbara City College,” said Mrs. Renga, who was born in Bristol, Penn., and moved to Rancho Palos Verdes with her family when she was about 6 years old. After graduating from Rolling Hills High School in 1978, she followed her sister to Santa Barbara, intending to enroll at Santa Barbara City College. “Instead, I worked at a variety of jobs and married Armand

Renga in 1985. Although there was no pressure from my mother to follow in her footsteps, she often said, ‘You’ll never go wrong with nursing. You will always have a job,’ ” said Mrs. Renga. After earning her degree in 2007, she worked at Sansum Clinic for five years before taking the position at VNA Health. “My first task was to learn what hospice was all about. I saw thousands of patients and learned to deal with them and their loved ones,” said Mrs. Renga, who is on call evenings and weekends. “Over the years, I have come to love hospice nursing mainly because of all the heartfelt experiences in which I have become involved. Though there are too many to mention, some I remember vividly. “Like the 40-something cancer patient whose friends had promised her that when she passed away, the party would begin, and she had insisted on being dressed up in a fine gown with a zipper on the side. Well, the gown was beautiful, but the zipper just would not budge, so we all got on the bed and pinned the zipper the best we could. “It was like a wrestling match, and all the girlfriends were laughing and crying bittersweet tears. By the time we were done with this sweet young patient, she looked so lovely, fresh flowers draped her, and her family was happy. I felt it was all part of being a hospice nurse, helping people deal with unusual situations.” Another time Mrs. Renga was called to a home at Hollister Ranch, where she found an older woman who had just died was in a bed in the garden.

“The atmosphere is very homey,” Kym Renga said Sarah House, where end-of-life care is provided. “I was there after someone passed, and the staff did what they always did — put the tea kettle on. They embraced the silence after the moment. They helped the family not feel rushed to make any sudden arrangements after a death.”

“It was a beautiful retreat with drummers, natural foliage and nature intertwined with chanting and peace offerings for the patient and her family. If ever there was a hippy gathering, this was it.” Mrs. Renga was particularly impressed with the philosophy at Sarah House in Santa Barbara, which provides end-of-life care for people of low income. “The atmosphere is very homey. I was there after someone passed, and the staff did what they always did — put the tea kettle on. They embraced the silence after the moment. They helped the family not feel rushed to make any sudden arrangements after a death.” Although she was called at 1 a.m., Mrs. Renga sat silently with an elderly woman who had just lost her spouse and did not want the mortuary to come and get him “just yet. We did not say much, but I held her hand, and we spent that time quietly together. “My work is extremely rewarding. It’s not so much about dying. It’s more about giving them a good life while they are here.” email: mmcmahon@newspress.com

Solving the mystery behind this pot

.J. sends me a huge copper pot (18-inch diameter), which has slanted sides and a curved bottom, with two copper bail handles falling in graceful loops to the sides. These handles are held fast by a double course of raised copper enforcements, which are riveted into the body of the piece. That indicates that the piece was originally used for holding something either heavy or hot. She wants to know the country of origin and usage. Copper cookware is difficult to date because almost all nations and civilizations used copper to make food. Why did they do that? We turn to no less an authority on cooking than the late Montecito chef Julia Child, whose “Mastering the Art of French Cooking” states: “Copper (cookware) is the most satisfactory for holding and spreading heat well.” In fact, without the use of copper cookware, it is difficult to imagine

those gorgeous French sauces. Copper is incredibly conductive. It heats quickly and diffuses evenly, then cools rapidly. All over the world, copper has been used to sear meat and cook delicacies that need to reach a specific consistency. Copper ions have a positive effect, stabilizing egg whites and retaining the green in vegetables. Because copper reacts to acid, cooks refrain from adding wine, lemon juice or tomatoes to a bare copper interior. Therefore, thousands of years

ago, there was a discovery: lining a copper pot with friendly tin solves that acid problem, and I say friendly, because copper and tin are chemically attracted to each other, and form a lasting bond. The best chefs in France send out their tin lined copper pots to be relined each year, because tin has a low melting point of 450 degrees and wears away. The big name in French pots is Mauveil of Normandy, est. 1830. Upon a trip to visit France, Chuck Williams of WilliamsSonoma realized the importance of copper cookware. He established an American line that used a stainless instead of a tin lining, because stainless can stand higher heat, and last longer. Occasionally his pots will have a copper insert to augment the cookware, called a “copper core,” which some cooks find is a marketing tool and not efficient. Stainless doesn’t conduct heat as well as copper, and stainless Please see GOLD DIGGER on B2

Sullivan Gallery to showcase female artists SANTA BARBARA — The Sullivan Goss art gallery will feature art from female artists in an exhibition titled “Real Women: Realist Art by American Women,” which will be on display Feb. 26 through March 29. The exhibition coincides with Women’s History Month and will feature works of realism in

drawings, painting, print-making and photography. “Realism is a high-craft affair and arrives to us in 2021 from the deepest of our American traditions,” the gallery wrote in a statement. “It requires dedication. It can be subtle; it can be beautiful; it can be complicated, intricate, and sharp.” Works included in the exhibit feature styles of art from the past 90 years created by 13 female local and regional artists.

clad copper, because steel and copper are not friendly and can explode at high heats. (There is no natural affinity between copper and steel, and the bond must be induced chemically, forming a slight division between the metals.) So where does S.J.’s pot come from? I know it is not French. A pot this big in France would have been used for making jams, and jam pots are traditionally not lined. S.J.’s has traces of tin lining at the very bottom. And S.J.’s pot has a distinctive shape, not European in style. The rounded bottom is a clue. A rounded bottom on an old pot means that the pot at one time had a stand, a circle of iron surmounting three legs. This was used for “over the fire” cooking. It was not in the fire. We also know that coppersmiths worked their trade worldwide. Even early American cooks used handmade pots. Paul Revere was a coppersmith! To geographically place S.J.’s pot, I look for the dovetailing of the joining of the pot in its structure. Copper is worked in sheets, which are hammered and shaped into a circle. (You can see the hand hammering on this pot). But at some point (usually at the base), a hole is created that will need an insert, and that insert, when the pot is a good one, will be dovetailed into the main body of the pot. Furthermore, I look for rivets that go all the way through the body of the container that are hand-pounded and not machine made. This points to a 19th century or older pot, although the form of the pot could be ancient. The shape points to the Middle East, as well as the size and tradition of slow cooking of

Originally S.J.’s pot would have had a lid. I can see the raised lips where the lid would have fitted, also an indication of slow cooking. S.J. asks how to care for her pot, and she writes that it was so black that after 30 years in storage that she took her power drill and a stiff brush head with Bar Keeper’s Friend to the piece. Ouch! The best way to keep that black away (the green verdigris blackens to a rust over time) is to use lemon juice and salt! The pot’s value is $400.

Gemini

The sun is moving into your career sector, so big things are happening, Gemini! This is the best time to make your dreams a reality. Mars in Taurus is squaring Venus in Aquarius, which is causing some tension in your relationships.

Be rebellious this week, Sagittarius. Jupiter squares Uranus this week, which is challenging you to go against the grain. You may want to take on extra responsibility with family as well. Things will ease up over the weekend, when Mercury turns direct.

Cancer

Capricorn

The sun is moving into your philosophy zone, making you more curious and thoughtful. With Venus and Mars making a square on Friday, the best way to lean into the energy is to avoid worrying about what others think. Focus on letting go, Cancer.

The sun moves into your communication sector, asking you to express how you think and feel to others. This gets especially easy once Mercury turns direct this weekend, Capricorn. This planet will be direct in your worth sector— asking you to reconsider your value.

Leo

The sun moves into your intimacy zone this week, Leo. What’s even better is that Mercury is going direct in your relationship zone. Ceres enters your sector of philosophy, which asks you to explore learning further. Virgo

When Venus and Mars get into a fight on Friday, you’ll want to keep your distance from your loved one. But once Mercury goes direct on Saturday, your routine is bound to get a boost. Finally, things will go right, Virgo.

Your inner artist is reaching big heights, Scorpio. With Venus and Mars making a square, there’s some drama at home with family. Once Mercury goes direct, you’ll be able to share your feelings in the right way. Sagittarius

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.

Captain Mayer wears many caps as Carpinteria’s Scholar-Athlete of the Year By MARK PATTON NEWS-PRESS SENIOR WRITER

Kenna Mayer, one of the grittiest athletes on the Carpinteria High girls softball and soccer teams, also cleans up well enough to have earned the Warriors’ ScholarAthlete of the Year Award. “Her uniform is easily the one with the most grass and mud stains after each match,” girls soccer coach Charles Bryant said. “And after our home games, she has always had the same routine as she helps clean up, offers to take any equipment to the shed and then quickly dashes home to shower and get her cheerleading uniform on, return to campus to cheer on either the boys or girls basketball teams. “Kenna’s time management, and doing so amazingly well academically while balancing and juggling multiple athletics, is astounding.” Mayer has managed it well enough to compile a grade-point average of 4.06. Her course load has included Advanced Placement calculus and honors English, as well as a college dual-enrollment class in criminal justice. She plans to study forensic psychology in college. “Kenna is a leader on campus as she carries a 4.06 GPA through a rigorous course load while always supporting fellow students and teachers,” athletic director Pat Cooney said. “Kenna Mayer

personifies Warrior Spirit.” She received her scholar-athlete award from the Santa Barbara Athletic Round Table in a virtual ceremony conducted on its web site, sbart.org. Its weekly press luncheons have been put on hold because of the COVID-19 pandemic. Mayer received All-Citrus Coast League honorable mention in softball as a sophomore in 2019. Her junior season last year was canceled by the outbreak of the coronavirus. She also received honorable mention on the All-Citrus Coast girls soccer team as a junior. She made the varsity team as a freshman and has twice earned the team’s most improved award. “Kenna is one of those kids that is so humble, she never brags about these things,” said Lucy Carleton, an assistant soccer coach and teacher at Carpinteria High. “She is not a prima donna on the field or in the classroom. She’s just so down to earth.” Mayer, who considers Carleton to be “one of my best friends,” credits her coaches and teachers for helping her juggle so many balls at the high school. “If I had so much homework to do, or I had to miss a game or practice because of one thing or another, they understand that academics come first, for sure,” she said. “They wouldn’t punish me for missing practice because I had to go to work or if I had a

family problem or something else I had to deal with. “Everyone is superunderstanding and that really helps, because it relieves a lot of stress that I have and a lot of other players have.” She said the friendly support system has been a major factor in her 4.0-plus GPA. “I was friends with the teachers and coaches, and that made me want to work extra hard in my academics,” Mayer said. “I’m just glad that we have such a good community at our high school … And parents and family that are really supportive.” Mayer’s leadership skills have led to her selection as captain of both the softball and cheer squads at Carpinteria. “Kenna is the ideal role model for her peers, both on and off the field,” softball coach Dakotah Wilcox said. “She teaches skills to newcomers with patience and poise and practices those skills

with passion and grit. “When I think of the epitome of what athletics means to a small community like Carpinteria, I think of Kenna and her family. She and her family are deeply rooted in the sports community.” Her brother, Chase Mayer, was voted Citrus Coast League Pitcher of the Year for baseball in 2019. Kenna, who grew up as a star in the Carpinteria Valley Girls Softball Association, also played baseball in the Santa Barbara Pony League as a sixth- and seventh-grader, and even made the all-star team one season. Mayer now volunteers for both the youth softball league and Carpinteria AYSO. “Kenna puts her heart into every sport she participates in,” Wilcox said. “It is an honor to be her softball coach year after year and cannot wait to see where her athleticism takes her.” email: mpatton@newspress.com

JaQuori McLaughlin scored seven of his 19 points in overtime and Devearl Ramsey made all eight of his free throws during the extra period as UCSB completed a two-game, men’s basketball sweep of Hawaii, 81-74, late Saturday night in Honolulu. The Gauchos’ 10th-straight victory — one off the school record set in 1989 — keeps them a game ahead of UC Irvine in the Big West Conference race with an 8-2 mark. UCSB is 14-3 overall. McLaughlin’s 19 points came on 7-for-13 shooting and included a pair of three-pointers in four attempts. He also had five assists, four rebounds and two steals. Ramsey, UCSB’s other senior guard, added 17 points while making 10-of-10 foul shots and headed up the defense with three steals. McLaughlin is now within six points of becoming the 31st Gaucho to reach 1,000 for a career. Teammate Amadou Sow became the 30th to surpass that milestone with his first basket on Saturday. He finished with16 points. The Gauchos regrouped in overtime after having fatigued down the stretch of regulation, surrendering a 15-point lead. McLaughlin’s mid-key jumper was their only points during a late, 5½-minute stretch in which they committed four straight

turnovers and missed two free throws. They had a season-high 18 turnovers in the game. Hawaii (7-7, 5-7 Big West) turned a 58-51 deficit into a 62-60 lead, getting a three-pointer by James Jean-Marie with 1:49 left and a driving bank shot by Casdon Jardine with 58 seconds to go. But McLaughlin drove the lane and flipped a short lob pass which Miles Norris dunked to tie the game with 33.6 seconds on the clock. Norris finished with 11 points and four rebounds. Hawaii missed a three-pointer to end regulation, McLaughlin drilled a three to start overtime, and UCSB never trailed again. McLaughlin assisted another dunk by Norris with a pick-androll play and then beat the shot clock with a jump shot for a 71-67 lead. Ramsey and McLaughlin kept the Rainbow Warriors at bay for the remainder of overtime by making a combined 10-for-10 free throws. The Gauchos, who led the Rainbow Warriors 39-27 at halftime, out-shot them 53.7% to 45.1% and out-rebounded them 30-26 in the game. They pulled out to their biggest lead of 46-31 with 15:20 to go and still led 58-51 with 6:04 left in regulation when Hawaii made its move. UCSB’s month on the road will end next week when it plays host to third-place Cal State Bakersfield (8-4) on Friday at 8 p.m. and Saturday at 7 p.m.
