Bicycle theft up 84%

Revising Senate rules Locals share thoughts on filibuster ‘loophole’ in Congress By GRAYCE MCCORMICK NEWS-PRESS STAFF WRITER

Last week, the United States Senate parliamentarian advised that a revised budget resolution can include reconciliation instructions allowing spending legislation to pass with a simple 50-vote majority rather than the two-thirds requirement. The news could potentially change the game for bills moving through the legislative system, and it has already been used for President Joe Biden’s $1.9 trillion American Rescue Plan that passed without any Republican support. The ruling was shared by an aide for Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer, who said the determination is an “important step forward that this key pathway is available to Democrats if needed,” according to national media reports. The budget reconciliation is typically only able to be used once per fiscal year, but the new ruling is said to be paving the

Bicycle theft nearly doubled in 2020, according to data gathered by the Santa Barbara County Sheriff’s Department. In the fall, the Santa Barbara Police Department warned residents of such thefts. By late October, police gathered 320 cases of stolen bicycles — 159 of which were valued at over $950 each. The results may not be surprising, as more “lost bike” signs get papered around town and neighbors post pictures of their stolen cruisers on Please see bikes on A3

Federal plane visits Santa Barbara A U.S. government plane landed at the Santa Barbara Airport Saturday afternoon and was still at the airport Sunday morning. The plane is a Boeing C-32A, one of four used to transport United States leaders around the globe. It is unknown who arrived on the C-32A. Sunday, Vice President Kamala Harris tweeted a photo on a government-issued plane with the caption, “Brighter days are ahead.” V.P. Harris’s tweet could likely be unrelated to the landing Saturday. — Annelise Hanshaw

Board of Supervisors to hold budget workshops By MITCHELL WHITE NEWS-PRESS ASSOCIATE EDITOR

The Santa Barbara County Board of Supervisors will hold three budget workshops this week for the fiscal year 2021-22 preliminary budget. The county’s preliminary operating budget is estimated at $1.34 billion for FY 2021-22, marking the third year in a row that service level reductions are not proposed by any county department. “This is all positive news, resulting from years of prioritizing key projects, careful planning, managing resources and preparing for the future. Despite the pandemic, property tax and sales tax revenue have remained stable with modest growth and cannabis revenue has remained strong, continuing to exceed estimates,” the staff report reads. “Critical federal and State resources for pandemic relief minimized anticipated budget gaps and reserve uses to cover response efforts, further stabilizing the fiscal outlook. All of these resources have been essential to offset increasing costs related to labor, general liability insurance and critical department needs.” The preliminary budget includes the board’s policies on program-based budgeting, fiscal stability, identifying and mitigating fiscal risks and maintaining reserves. It also continues to advance the board’s commitment to the “Renew ‘22” initiatives. The hearings, planned for 9 a.m. today, Wednesday and Friday, will be held a month before the release of the recommended budget and two months before budget hearings. The board will review and discuss departments’

preliminary budgets and special issues, receive public input and provide the county CEO direction on policy issues or specific items for consideration prior to the completion of the final recommended budget. The workshops will also provide an opportunity to receive information and provide direction on particular policy issues, including four special issue reports: Jail population, diversion and collaborative Justice (today); main jail staffing and facility assessment alternatives (today); capital and deferred maintenance projects and funding sources (Friday); and digital transformation projects (Friday). The preliminary budget of $1.34 billion is an increase of $150 million over the prior year. County officials cite state and federal resources, which increased by $110 million. The American Rescue Plan is the largest single increase at $43.3 million, half of which will be allocated to the county in FY 2021-22. Tax revenue and charges for service each increased by $20.8 million. The preliminary budget includes full-time equivalent staffing of 4,330.1, an increase of about 24 over the prior year. County officials based the budget development on several factors, including: continued revenue growth in property and sales taxes; avoided service level reductions; an increase in labor and liability costs; steady growth in cannabis tax revenue; no changes to the funding recommendation for the Northern Branch Jail; the inclusion of deferred maintenance and capital investments; and data and discovery criminal justice expansion requests being identified for funding set aside.

way for President Biden’s $2 trillion infrastructure package that was also presented last week. Although, the bill may still struggle to gain moderate Democrats’ votes if the 28% corporate tax remains included. This sort of loophole around the filibuster can only be used for budgetary bills, and the parliamentarian has the authority to strip any unrelated provisions, such as Democrats’ recent attempt at raising the federal minimum wage to $15 per hour. Bypassing the filibuster brings to light the debate surrounding its purpose, and some locals believe this loophole discourages bipartisanship. “The parties need to come together for solutions,” said Santa Barbara County Republican Chair Bobbi McGinnis. “One party can’t just dominate and exhort 50% of Americans that voted for the other people.” She said she hopes the ruling gets challenged, as she thinks it’s Please see SENATE on A4

SB Council to consider authorizing grant application for African American/Black Historic Context Statement By GRAYCE MCCORMICK NEWS-PRESS STAFF WRITER

On Tuesday, the Santa Barbara City Council will be recommended to authorize an application for a $40,000 certified local government grant for an African American/ Black Historic Context Statement, which would allow designation of places representing African American and black culture as historic landmarks. The decision follows nearly 700 written letters from the community in the aftermath of George Floyd’s death requesting the prioritization of this representation and designation. “There is a lack of recognition and understanding about the history and contributions of the African American/ black community to the city,” the staff report reads. “As a certified local government and a designated Preserve America community, Santa Barbara must continue to expand its historic preservation program and identify historic resources important to the African American/black community to guide future planning and preservation efforts.” If passed, the city’s architectural historian will partner with qualified historic preservation consultants and community liaisons and representatives of the black community to create a context statement that will historically document and recognize the community’s history in Santa Barbara. The $40,000 in grant funds would be used to fund a consultant and their local community liaison to execute the context study, according to the staff report. The council will also consider a request from council member Eric Friedman and Mayor Pro Tempore Oscar Gutierrez to pass a resolution of the council condemning

the acts of racism and violence against Asian and Pacific Islander Americans and recognizing their contributions to the city and country. “It is important that our city stand with them during this time of increasing racism against them and let it be known that our city does not tolerate attacks of any kind toward our fellow residents,” the memorandum reads. In other business, the council will receive a presentation on the upcoming Regional Housing Needs Allocation. On Jan. 27, SBCAG received the sixthcycle determination of 24,856 units, but the fifth-cycle determination was 11,030 units. Working with representatives of each local jurisdiction over the course of months, SBCAG developed a methodology to distribute the 24,856 units to each city and unincorporated areas of the county, which first allocates north county and south county shares based on existing employment and forecasted employment growth, then the shares are allocated sub-regionally based on cost burden and overcrowding. “Based on this methodology, the distribution of units results in a total allocation to the City of Santa Barbara of 8,001 units, with 2,147 for very-lowincome households, 1,381 for low-income households, 1,441 for moderate-income households and 3,032 for above- moderateincome households,” the staff report reads. The next steps will be defining the scope of the Housing Element Update and hiring a consultant. Staff will commence a public engagement process to get input from the public, City Council, and appointed officials. The Housing Element Update would need to be adopted by February 2023. The council will also be asked to approve

the naming opportunities for the Library Plaza Capital Campaign. The Library Department has identified 16 possible plaza locations for naming opportunities, and it is suggested that donors of $10,000 and above will be recognized in publications, signage, online and with a naming opportunity in a prominent location on Library Plaza. The top opportunity at a $2 million level has been reserved to name the Library Plaza the Michael Towbes Library Plaza. The Library Foundation has teamed with a core group of library supporters to raise $2 million in honor of Michael Towbes. Recognition for this naming opportunity will be made on the planter located on Anapamu near the main entry to Library Plaza and on the donor wall on lower plaza. “As a developer who helped build the community by providing significant infrastructure and a community banker who supported countless businesses with more than $1 billion in loans, Towbes was always committed to giving back to the community where he lived and worked. He built thousands of homes in Santa Barbara County, with an emphasis on affordable and workforce-priced housing, as well as 1.8 million square feet of commercial properties, primarily in the tri-counties region,” the staff report reads. “His philanthropic support is legendary, and he hoped it would serve as an example of corporate and personal philanthropy. He believed everyone could do ‘something,’ and we each had a responsibility to give back to the community that we call home.” The meeting will begin at 2 p.m. on Tuesday, and can be streamed live at www. santabarbaraca.gov/cap or viewed on City TV Channel 18. email: gmccormick@newspress.com

Benevolent Posse donates equipment to mounted unit SANTA YNEZ — The Santa Barbara County Sheriff’s Benevolent Posse donated new helmets to the Sheriff’s mounted enforcement unit. The Benevolent Posse, a nonprofit which raises funds for the Sheriff’s Department, donated new riding helmets to each member of the mounted enforcement unit, a team of Sheriff’s deputies who perform law enforcement activities from horseback. The donation of the helmets, manufactured by the Super Seer Corporation, will allow the officers to have a single helmet that can be used for routine patrol, crowd control and

civil unrest situations, said Raquel Zick, sheriff’s spokeswoman. “Prior to this donation, team members had two helmets, one for routine patrol use, and another for crowd control situations,” Lt. Erik Rainey, the unit’s commander, said in a statement. “The new Super Seer helmets are specially designed for Law Enforcement Equestrian Units, and serve both functions. “We are truly grateful for the ongoing support that the Mounted Unit has received from the Posse. The entire Sheriff’s Office benefits from the Posse’s support, which in turn, allows us to improve the service we provide to our communities.” For more information on the Santa Barbara County Sheriff’s Benevolent Posse, visit their website at www. sbsheriffsposse.org. — Mitchell White

TEDxSantaBarbara and CEC announce spring Making Waves series By GRAYCE MCCORMICK NEWS-PRESS STAFF WRITER

TEDxSantaBarbara and the Community Environmental Council announced the spring series of Making Waves: Conversations with Influencers and Disruptors, a weekly online broadcast on Wednesdays at 4 p.m. starting April 14. The series features subject matter experts and change makers from around the world sharing insights on the current pandemic, along with sustainability, creativity and social justice. The series is broadcast online, and it is free and open to the public. To register for individual events and find more information, visit TEDxSantaBarbara.com. The first episode of the spring series marks the milestone 50th speaker for the Making Waves series, which launched as a way to keep critical conversations flowing when it became clear that COVID would prevent the annual TEDxSantaBarbara conference from happening in 2020. “Since pivoting to a digital platform due to the global pandemic, we’ve been able to host renowned international speakers who may not have normally been able to travel to Santa Barbara. In turn, this has expanded our reach to engage global audiences on today’s critical issues and enrich our local community with diverse international perspectives,” said Mark Sylvester, TEDxSantaBarbara executive producer. The announcement of this Making Waves lineup comes during Earth Month, as CEC gears up to host

its Virtual Santa Barbara Earth Day Festival April 22 through 24 (details are available at SBEarthDay. org). Three of CEC’s staff will join the Making Waves lineup to speak to ways our community can come together to address today’s most urgent issues. Michael Chiacos, CEC’s energy and climate program director, will present straightforward solutions CEC is driving forward to address climate change locally and, in turn, on a global scale. Jennifer Hernández, CEC’s energy and climate program associate, will provide perspective on local climate justice efforts, which recognize that people who have been marginalized by deeply-rooted systems of power, oppression and inequality are also the hardest hit by climate change. Allegra Roth, CEC’s food and climate program manager, will share insights on issues facing the world’s food supply during the pandemic, how this connects with and fuels the climate crisis and what individuals can do about it locally. “The sustainability, social justice, creativity and public health issues lifted up in the Making Waves series are heavily interrelated -- we can’t address any one without the others, and it will take a hefty amount of courage and creativity to build solutions,” said Sigrid Wright, CEC’s CEO/executive director.

Riders advised to secure their bikes, not leave them for too long bikes

Continued from Page A1 NextDoor. The problem existed prior to the pandemic, making some jaded prior to the jump in reports. Prior to 2020, all of the sheriff’s jurisdictions, except for Goleta, were seeing a decline in bicycle theft. (Goleta was fairly steady with 30 incidents each year.) In 2019, the sheriff’s department received 133 reports of stolen bicycles. There were 245 bicycle thefts in 2020, an increase of 84%. Theft, in general, increased almost 27% in 2020. Bicycle theft increased significantly more than shoplifting or stealing possessions out of cars. Open Air Bicycles, located at 1303 State St. in Santa Barbara, has a wall with pictures of stolen bicycles. The store helps customers track their serial numbers and puts the business’ sticker on the bicycles. Griffin McMillan, a mechanic and salesperson at Open Air Bicycle, said the store has “recovered an immense amount of bikes” through stickers and serial numbers. The Santa Barbara Bicycle Coalition registers serial numbers in the National Bike Index. Registration is open to the community at sbbike.org/ registration. Police officers can check a bike’s serial number, which is usually on the bottom bracket, against the registry to return it to its owner. Mr. McMillan recommended steel u-locks by Kryptonite, especially for those who leave their bicycles locked outside an apartment complex. “If you have to do that, then you could have a motorcycle lock,” he said. “It’s hard to steal doublelocking chain locks that you can use on a motorcycle.”

His main advice is not to leave bikes out for very long. He’s even seen bicycles stolen out of Open Air’s pickup trucks while waiting at a stoplight. “People think they can leave it overnight after hitting the bar or something,” he said. “Maybe don’t leave it for more than a good chunk of time. There’s a whole economy of stolen bikes here.” He has noticed places he calls “chop shop houses” where people alter stolen bicycles to evade detection. He, like many others, points out the plethora of bicycles visible in encampments. “They’re just littered with bikes. There’ll be like 50 bikes in one spot,” he said. It’s not hard to find possibilities of bike theft. Some locations have 20 or so bikes for sale on Craigslist, though bike hobbyists can repair and sell bikes legally. Play It Again Sports, a new and secondhand sporting goods store at 4850 Hollister Ave., has policies to prevent selling stolen bikes. Before buying a bicycle from someone, staff check the seller’s ID and log it into a government database. “We don’t just buy it from someone who comes in without confirming their identification,” Andrew Arnold, the store’s owner, said. Those without valid identification are turned away. Some come back the next day, and others don’t. “People who bring in stolen goods, they’re not getting anything out of them,” he said. Although Mr. Arnold is not the original owner of Play It Again Sports, the policy existed before he bought the business. He’s confident that they don’t buy stolen bikes, but sometimes a customer that buys a new bike will ask for help recovering the stolen property.

Members of the film society will select entries to present at the student showcase May 1-2. “The ‘Never Stop Creating’ Student Challenge is not only an opportunity to celebrate Central Coast students who found (safe) ways to continue creating throughout the COVID-19 pandemic,” said Sarah Risley, film society board member. “It’s also an opportunity to celebrate the heart of the central coast community, from professional judges volunteering their time and expertise, to the generous sponsors who donated $600 in student scholarships, this is what makes our community special.” Winners receive $100 scholarships in the following categories: film, podcasting, screenwriting/

storytelling, photography and highlight reel. An extra $100 scholarship goes to the winner of the People’s Choice Award, which audience members will vote on online. Entries that make it to the showcase will be judged by: Randi Barros, lecturer in Cal Poly’s Interdisciplinary Studies in Liberal Arts; Skye McLennan, festival director for the San Luis Obispo Film Festival; Ken Napzok, podcastor, author and YouTube producer and host; Sheryl Franciskovich, publisher and creative director for SLO LIFE Magazine; Chris Lambert, creator of Your Own Backyard podcast and freelance journalist; Josh Ernstrom, digital media producer for PG&E; and Chris Burkard, international photographer and filmmaker. “Above all, we know that the students who participate will receive invaluable insights, constructive feedback and encouragement from this esteemed panel of judges,” Ms. Risley said. Submissions must be created during the pandemic (March 2020-April 2021) from high school students in Monterey County, San Luis Obispo County, Santa Barbara County and Ventura County. All work should be rated G, PG or PG-13 and available for public viewing online or during a future in-person event.

TRAFFIC, CRIME AND FIRE BLOTTER Shelter-in-place lifted after barricaded suspect arrested SANTA BARBARA — A shelter-in-place order was lifted for a neighborhood near Santa Barbara City College Sunday morning, after law enforcement arrested a suspect who had barricaded himself inside an apartment in the 200 block of Ladera Street. The Santa Barbara Police Department responded to the scene at 5:14 a.m. after a report of a male suspect pointing a handgun at a person. Officers spotted a suspect matching the description, and the suspect fled and barricaded himself inside the apartment. Officers evacuated the other apartment units, and Santa Barbara Police SWAT and Crisis Negotiations Response Team officers de-escalated the incident and arrested the suspect without injury. The investigation is ongoing. — Annelise Hanshaw

Goleta Water District to discuss partnership with Tesla GOLETA — The Goleta Water District on Tuesday will discuss a resolution to enroll the district in an initiative program and to execute agreements with Tesla, Inc., for battery systems at the Corona Del Mar Water Treatment Plant and Ellwood Reservoir. Under the proposed agreement, Tesla would design, furnish, install, operate and maintain the battery systems through the California Public Utilities Commission SelfGeneration Incentive Program. “The District is eligible for the highest level of incentives based on meeting the two criteria of having critical infrastructure subject to public safety power shutoffs (PSPS) events associated with wildfires and of serving customers in disadvantaged or low-income communities,” the staff report reads. “Based on program qualifications and peak energy demands, Tesla identified the District’s CDMWTP and

Ellwood Reservoir sites for which the incentives would cover nearly all the costs.” For the proposal, Tesla would enroll the district in the SGIP and maintain the facilities for a 10-year period, and would be reimbursed for their costs by receiving the SGIP incentive payments. The district’s cost would be limited to electrical engineering review of designs to ensure compatibility with district infrastructure and operations, construction inspection and project management. These costs are estimated to be between $10,000 and $20,000. All other costs will be handled by Tesla. The two battery systems, estimated to be currently worth approximately $1 million, will be owned by the district and provide emergency backup power during electrical outages and PSPS events, including approximately seven hours for Ellwood Reservoir and 8.3 hours for CDMWTP. “Once operational, District electricity bills are anticipated to be reduced 15% at these facilities as the battery systems will provide power to the facilities during peak hours when commercial electricity rates are highest. The battery

systems would then recharge during off-peak hours when commercial rates are lowest,” the staff report reads. “By moving forward with these projects, the District enhances its emergency preparedness, reduces its dependence on the electrical grid, saves money, and meets several Board-adopted sustainability goals outlined in the Sustainability Plan.” Feasibility studies for each site could be completed in midApril. If approved, the district will work with Tesla over the next several months to complete the application process. The California Public Utilities Commission will review and consider the district’s application, and if approved the incentive reserves would be available for up to 18 months.

Carbajal praises ruling as necessary in event of ‘obstruction’ SENATE

Continued from Page A1 against the Constitution. “That would be a mistake for America,” Ms. McGinnis told the News-Press, regarding gutting the filibuster altogether. “When you have a very slim majority in control, the filibuster means that it’s protecting American citizens.” However, the flip side of the coin believes that sometimes pushing legislation through without bipartisan support is necessary if parties use obstruction tactics. When Second District Supervisor Gregg Hart was asked about his thoughts on the new loophole, he told the News-Press, “I’ll leave the decision about the parliamentarian procedures necessary to accomplish the critically needed federal infrastructure program to our United States Senators.” Congressman Salud Carbajal, D-Santa Barbara, voiced his support of the ruling in a statement to the News-Press.

“I’m pleased with the Senate Parliamentarian’s ruling, which is consistent with the spirit of the Congressional Budget Act and will give Congress additional tools to get American priorities signed into law,” he said. “Congress should always strive for bipartisanship, but if obstruction continues I’m thankful there is an additional pathway for legislation that will improve the lives of Central Coast residents and Americans across the country.” The future of the filibuster is likely that it remains, protected by at least two Democratic senators who have expressed refusal to support ending it to protect the input of the minority. President Biden said in the past that he doesn’t necessarily believe it should be eliminated, but potentially reverted to the talking filibuster, when a senator has to stay on the floor and continue talking to hold up legislation. The president told ABC back in mid-March, “It almost is getting to the point where, you know, democracy is having a hard time functioning.” email: gmccormick@newspress.com

Public encouraged to watch upcoming workshops BUDGET

Continued from Page A1 Some of the key challenges identified include: delayed Census data and redistricting efforts; increasing and changing state and federal mandates and regulations; the need for major bridge construction projects and long-term road funding; deferred maintenance of parks, roads and county facilities; addressing homelessness; and the next steps to enhance access to justice. County departments have submitted requests for budget expansions totaling $7.2 million in ongoing funding and $7.6 million in one-time funds. Some of the expansion requests include: $1.15 million in ongoing funding for the Voter’s Choice Act Election Format (Clerk-RecorderAssessor Department); $2.9 million in on-going funding for road operations (Public Works); and $1.07 million in on-going and $350,000 in one-time funding to expand the Sheriff’s Cannabis Compliance Team. Other expansion includes bodycameras for the Sheriff’s Office ($443,000); the Floradale Bridge Project (one-time funding of $993,000); and a post-conviction litigation unit for the District Attorney’s office (on-going funding of $259,100); among others. A total of $5.3 million in maintenance expansion requests are proposed for one-time funding, including $4.3 million for pavement rehabilitation (Public Works); and $1 million for pavement rehabilitation for the Community Services Department. The public is encouraged to watch the workshops and provide input on ideas being developed by staff to fund vital services. County Executive Officer Mona Miyasato noted that now, one year after the pandemic began, the preliminary budget for Fiscal Year 2021-22 is built with a positive and stable outlook for the upcoming year. “As the economy continues to reopen, and with vaccinations for all Californians on the horizon,

The recommended budget is scheduled to be released in May and presented to the Board on June 8 and if needed, on June 10. we see this as a time of recovery and resilience for our community,” Ms. Miyasato said in a statement. “During the last year, we prepared and positioned ourselves to adopt new practices, be responsive and resilient, and rethink what the public needs and expects of us. The pandemic caused an acceleration of Renew ’22, which was initiated in 2017 to fortify the organization against the next economic or natural emergency. “The County has been relatively fortunate in that our major revenue sources have remained stable over the past year. Nevertheless, we have continued to pursue efficiencies and improvements in the way we do business to help position us to mitigate or avoid the difficult funding choices that were necessary during the last recession. In alignment with Renew ’22 priorities over the past year, departments spearheaded innovative efforts to be more efficient in work processes and serving their customers and clients, with many critical services migrated online during the pandemic.”

Miyoko “Miyo” Tabata was born September 5, 1920 in Oxnard, CA. She and her two brothers attended local schools and graduated from Oxnard High School.

Before having children, her father owned and operated the Blue Bird Cafe on Main Street in Ventura before eventually selling it to open a grocery/soda fountain store on Oxnard Boulevard in Oxnard. The three children helped run the store. Miyo’s future husband, Joe Tabata, and she became friends through the Buddhist Church, he in Santa Barbara and Miyo in Oxnard. Joe asked her for a date many times after they initially met, but Miyo was more interested in playing basketball and softball with her girlfriends. However, prior to her departure to Hiroshima, they did go on a few dates, which would turn out to be their last for many years. When Miyo and her two brothers nished Oxnard High School, her father sold the grocery store and the family temporarily relocated to Hiroshima, Japan. The relocation was to be just long enough for her father to sell off the farmlands he had purchased over the years. The plan was to return to Oxnard and re-purchase the grocery store as the family missed Oxnard. In 1939, Miyo was accepted into the prestigious Yasuda Girls School after taking tutor lessons for a year, mostly to efciently learn to speak and write Japanese to help her gain entrance to the school. In school, Miyo was happy to meet a couple of girls from stateside. When alone together, they spoke English, and when approached by other girls or instructors, they switched to speaking in Japanese. Miyo and her family had dual citizenship, so they were closely watched by the Government. Unfortunately, their lives changed forever in 1945 when the atomic bomb was dropped on Hiroshima. Miyo and her mother were home at the time and several miles away from the epicenter. They felt the concussion, felt the heat, and witnessed the mushroom. A day after the bombing, Miyo was required by the Japanese authorities to go into Hiroshima with others for two days to try to nd survivors. What she saw in those two days she rarely recounted until her later years. The Santa Barbara News-Press once did a feature article on Miyo years ago when they found out that she was a Hiroshima survivor living in Santa Barbara. Especially, an American citizen who happened to be at the wrong place at the wrong time in 1945 and lived to talk about it. Miyo always said that the worst part of their experience in Japan was that the Japanese government took the family properties away from her father prior to the bombing. The land was given to the farmers to grow rice for Japan’s war efforts. After Hiroshima was destroyed, the banks were crumbled and the bank records along with the bank employees were gone. The family suffered economically for many years. After Miyo’s departure to Hiroshima, Joe Tabata was drafted into the U.S. Army and was a Tech Sergeant in the celebrated 442 Regimental Combat Team and fought in Italy. Joe and Miyo stayed in contact by letter, until the Hiroshima bombing, then lost contact with each other for three years. Neither knowing if the other had survived the war or the bombing. After several years of not knowing, the Red Cross nally connected the two of them through their nal letters and they each knew they were still alive. Miyo was not cleared to leave Japan until 1948 and did not have the money to buy a ship ticket. Joe waited nine years to see Miyo again and was only able to send her enough money for her ticket and not her parents. It was very difcult for Miyo to leave her parents in Japan. After she arrived in San Francisco, Joe picked her up and they married shortly afterwards. Their rst child, JoAnn, was born in 1949. Years after her three children were grown and on their own, Miyo joined the work force for many years. She managed the Milpas Street Taco Bell for 15 years, worked at Technik and Robinson’s Department store. In her later years, she volunteered at Vista Del Monte Retirement Community where Peggy Buchanan operated a tness studio. She continued long relationships with many of the friends she made while in the work force. Miyo was physically active in her later years. She loved Jazzercise and was part of Peggy Buchanan’s Jazzercise program for 25 years and attended classes into her early 90s. Miyo’s zest for healthy living and a positive spirit was infectious to those who knew her.

She was born December 11, 1962 and was raised on the Mesa. She attended Washington Elementary School, La Cumbre Junior High School, and Santa Barbara High School. She obtained her accounting degree from UCSB, thus continuing her accounting career locally until her passing. Pamela and her family lived opposite Ledbetter Beach where they enjoyed many various beach activities and ocean water sports. She surfed the Point as often as possible. In 1985, she was a member of the Santa Barbara Channel Relay Swim as an event of Semana Nautical. She grew up in Santa Barbara in the time of stop lights at HWY 101 and no need for a house key. As a child one of her favorite things to do when the boats came in to the harbor, was to visit the Castagnola Brothers Fish Market and count the lobsters in the tank followed by going to “Don and Shirley’s Pony Rides”. She was also a Blue Bird/ Campre Girl, ling her Vest with Badges from various projects around town. Her zest for life began with Miss Lillian’s School of dance. She loved participating in Old Spanish Days Fiesta. She danced on the steps of the Santa Barbara Mission, at the Court House, and Fiesta Parades. She even was a Fiesta Flower Girl. In 1991, she rode in the Presidente’s Family Carriage cheering “Viva La Fiesta” the entire parade route with her family. From climbing to the highest step on White Rock or to the highest platform of the Coral Casino Tower, she jumped off fearlessly. Pamela loved music since the rst time she was old enough to sing. As written by Pamela, “The person I am today is all based on one aspect, my love of music. Music has embraced many moments of my life. Moments that otherwise would have just slipped into the back of my mind, never to be thought of again.” She loved the Santa Barbara Bowl since her rst concert, The King Family. Music was a constant in her life, from playing ute and guitar to playing the organ and singing with her mother in the Santa Barbara Treble Clefs. She also performed with her mother at various venues around town showcasing her original pieces as well as old time favorites singing and playing her guitar. As much as Pamela loved school, she also throughly enjoyed visits with her family to Disneyland, Hearst Castle, and a memorable trip to Hawaii in 1973. She also traveled to New York with her father and sisters many times for swimming events thru the years. Later on in life while in the Military with her husband Steve, her favorite station was when they were in Italy. Pamela embraced the culture and cuisine, even bringing back her favorite recipes to share with the rest of her family. For her Mother’s 50th Surprise Birthday Party, she cooked an Italian Feast. Many, many thanks to all of the doctors that attended to her over the years. Pamela is preceded in death by her mother, Mignon Barthels Willhite. She is survived by her father Dr. Herbert Barthels, step father Roger Willhite, children Caitlin and Steven Stanbroough, her sisters Peggy Escobar and Patti Gutshall, nieces Amanda Gutshall, Megan Gutshall, and Juliana Escobar, nephew Mathew Escobar, uncle Richard Barthels of Sacramento, aunts Dr. Katherine Barthels of Atascadero and Karen Barthels Denny of Palos Verdes, cousins Dr. Trevor Denny of Santa Barbara, Dr. Maryjune Wagner of Menlo Park, Dr. Garrick Denny of Palos Verdes and Dr. Cabot Denny of Palos Verdes. Given the pandemic, a memorial will be held at a later date. Donations may be made in her name to DAWG or Hereditary Neuropathy Foundation. “Deep down in our hearts dear Pam there will always be a melody for you.”

Miyo and Joe lived the remainder of their lives in Santa Barbara. She is survived by her daughter JoAnn (Yasuhiro) and sons George (Linda) and David (Lee). Due to COVID-19, there will be no services.

The Museum Store at the Santa Barbara Museum of Art is displaying students’ art and poetry about monarch butterflies.

Odes to monarchs Butterfly display combines students’ art and poetry

By MARILYN MCMAHON NEWS-PRESS STAFF WRITER

Between loss of habitat, being hit by vehicles and long migration patterns, the dwindling population of monarch butterflies is a concern. To bring attention to their plight, the Santa Barbara Museum of Art, Cal Poets in the Schools, Santa Barbara and Santa Barbara Botanic Garden have come together to provide third- through sixth-graders at Mountain View Elementary School, Montecito Union School and Vieja Valley Elementary School unique lessons for April’s National Poetry Month and Earth Day celebrations. Art and poetry, created by the students, are on display through April 30 in the SBMA Museum Store window at 1130 State St. In March, a nature-themed poetry lesson on the monarch butterfly was presented to the students by Cal Poets in the Schools. “They observed the transformation of a caterpillar to chrysalis to butterfly and wrote descriptive metaphors with details of color, texture, movement and feelings. Students then found the essence of their poems in the style of haiku, which prepared their butterfly writing into the museum’s art project,” said Cie Gumucio, Santa Barbara County coordinator and poet/teacher for Cal Poets. After the poetry classes, SBMA delivered a video lesson inspired by Diana Thater’s “Untitled Video Wall (Butterflies) (2008)” from the museum’s collection and 220 art kits to the students who collaged color tissue paper onto the outline of the butterfly wing printed on a transparency. Their poems were placed on the opposite side of the folded transparency. “The poems accompanying the collages are not only expressions of the monarch butterfly’s beauty

and fragility but also the students’ discovery of their own creativity as a voice that can celebrate and protect the natural world,” said Patsy Hicks, SBMA director of education. “In a year of much challenge and change, how wonderful to look to the butterfly as an embodiment of both fragility and strength, of adaptation and resilience. As with the butterfly’s transformation, these students have moved from observation to creation, and with their art, magically changed the museum store window into a vivid display of beauty, stewardship and sustainability.” The Santa Barbara Botanic Garden shared a planting video lesson from Scot Pipkin and Michelle Cyr with the students about the importance of planting the right type of milkweed, which is unique in the life cycle of the monarch in that it is the only plant the monarch caterpillars will eat. In other words: no milkweed, no monarch. Members of the Cal Poets were particularly enthusiastic about the collaboration, which they expressed in the following comments: • “Writing poems helps kids feel more connected to their sense of wonder about the natural world because poetry invites them to stop and notice beauty.” • “Having students write poetry about the monarch butterflies who have wintered here in Santa Barbara puts students in connection with the landscape they live in — these are ‘poems of place.’ ” • “It’s a dream project to bring together the worlds of poetry, art and natural sciences to help empower students and inspire their creativity and community engagement in support of Mother Nature — specifically, the monarch butterflies.” • “A gathering of butterflies is poetically referred to as ‘a kaleidoscope,’ and the monarch art and poetry display in the museum’s store window brings that definition to life.” • “Amanda Gorman’s speech on Inauguration Day ignited the feeling that young people could be a voice for the issues that mattered to them and that poetry and the creative arts could be the vehicle for that voice.” • “We hope kids will not only feel connected to their own creativity, but that they will have a new awareness about their own ability to participate in helping

“Having students write poetry about the monarch butterflies who have wintered here in Santa Barbara puts students in connection with the landscape they live in — these are ‘poems of place.’” Cal Poets member the environment.” • “This project is an experiential engagement with poetry and art that brings attention to an important environmental issue — the potential loss of the monarch butterflies. The third part is a call to action — to plant the native milkweed and nectar plants that will help restore the monarch butterflies’ natural habitat.” email: mmcmahon@newspress.com

Wedgewood china awaits return of formal dining

New art at Marcia Burtt Gallery By GRAYCE MCCORMICK NEWS-PRESS STAFF WRITER

Two new exhibits have arrived at Marcia Burtt Gallery for art lovers’ enjoyment. The first is “In Color,” which will be available for viewing April 9 through June 6 at the Santa Barbara gallery, which is at 517 Laguna St. The artists focused on color in the pieces and aimed for viewers to “re-examine how we view the world,” according to a news release. “Paintings and photographs of landscapes, flowers, still life and abstracted nature flood the gallery with striking color,” the exhibit’s description reads. “Expanses of sky, ocean and fields create plains of deep blues and intense greens. Dawn and dusk transform vistas into visions of yellow, orange, and magenta. “Cropped from the larger landscape, enlarged flowers are cut by sharp green leaves.

Slices of yellow fruit float on pastel ceramic plates. Bright blue stripes form a fence backdrop to a crayon-colored hen and rooster. A blue tarp drapes over a tractor like a scarf. Further leaving realism behind, buildings flatten into colored squares, a red forest and green water of a quarry appear to be from another universe.” In addition, artist Susan Petty released “Susan Petty: Drawings,” where she uses graphite on paper to draw trees, buildings and waves. The exhibit is also available from April 9 through June 6. The description reads, “Precise, delicate line complements cross-hatched shading. Intense detail elevates cast-off feathers, nests and rocks into sublime subjects worthy of study.” Visit artlacuna.com/exhibits/ in-color-petty-drawings to learn more about the exhibits. email: gmccormick@newspress.com

.G., back in the 1980s, knew the private secretary for the late dancer/actress Cyd Charisse, and bought, from the secretary, Ms. Charisse’s 12-piece Wedgwood “Charnwood” pattern bone china dinner service. She writes she is delighted by its pinks and greens, butterflies in flight, and slight gold trim on pure white. And because F.G. swears that formal dining is coming back (COVID-19 has meant that she cannot dine out), she predicts that folks will start entertaining again in their homes. (She may be right, because Jeff Moran of John Moran Auctions reports to me that large formal dining tables are selling!) So F.G. jumped at the chance to purchase another Charnwood by Wedgwood service for 12. Now she has a service for 24, and she said her grown son and wife will kill her when she dies and they must haul it away. So why is formal Wedgwood china coming back? Firstly, it was always the most reliable china to purchase since the 18th century, when Josiah Wedgwood was the first potter of note to use his name as a brand signature. (Pieces marked Wedgwood and Co., or Enoch Wedgwood, are likely fakes, however.) And Wedgwood early on made its china “date-able” with specific marks and code. Thus, on the back of F.G.’s china, we see the shape of the famous Roman Portland Vase, from 1-25 A.D.; the most famous example of ancient cameo glass, relief cut white glass over a blue-black ground, which inspired the 18thcentury Josiah, and this shape/mark indicates a date from 1900 to around 1962. Around 1962, we started to see a copyright “c.” Right around 1891 we see the word “England” as part of the brand, and this was required to meet the U.S. Customs regulations imposed by the McKinley Customs Administration Act. (This is a tremendous dating tool. Iff you see the country of origin

On the back of F.G.’s china is the shape of the famous Roman Portland Vase, from 1-25 A.D.

Formal Wedgewood china is making a comeback.

on anything, you know it dates no earlier than 1891.) Replacements LTD said that FG’s pattern dates from 1951-1987. Further research indicates that it premiered in ads around 1949. Wedgwood tells us that Charnwood is a centuries-old Chinese design first made by Josiah Wedgwood in 1790. In 1949, F.G. could have purchased a five-piece place setting for $14.50. Today Replacements LTD sells such a thing for $120 used. If you get lucky, as F.G. did, and can buy a whole set at an estate sale, spending $400 to $500 for a not-so-complete service for 12, or if you live in England, where this pattern is more popular (they have a sense of history there), you’ll spend $900 on a service for 12. F.G. asked me what each of the plates she owns are used for. Well, a five-piece place setting is standard for two/three courses: dinner plate, bread and butter, the larger salad plate, and a coffee or teacup and saucer. Now we get into the dishes designed for more than two-course meals, and you will see that F.G.’s set has many of these dishes: a square salad plate, a dessert plate slightly smaller than the salad, a rimmed soup bowl for clear soups, and a footed cream soup bowl and saucer for creamed (made with milk) soups, tiny fruit bowls, and a demitasse can and saucer. She also has a squat teapot and covered sugar and creamer, a chop plate used of course for serving meat/chops, and oval vegetable bowls. What she has is sufficient for a five-course meal (appetizer, creamed soup or fish course, main course, salad, cheese or dessert and

cheese.) This got me thinking about what a 12-course meal might involve, and I was lucky to find a 12-course meal served on board in 1912, the night before the sinking of the Titanic: 1. Canapes/oysters. 2. Consommé/cream soup. 3. Fish. 4. A choice of three entrees. 5. The ‘removes” course: lamb or duck, and surprisingly Shepard’s pie, potatoes, peas, carrots and rice. 6. Punch or sorbet. 7. Roast squab. 8. Salad. 9. Pate de foie gras cold dish. 10. Sweets including chocolate eclairs. 11. Dessert, fruit, and cheeses. 12. Coffee and liqueurs. The china services must have been vast to serve 12 courses. It was Spode’s K4431, elegant, expensive white china with cobalt edged in gold. I side with F.G. in thinking that the day will come when the dining room is no longer an office, and it houses a formal dinner party again. Fine china services will increase in value as we entertain at home. Dr. Elizabeth Stewart’s “Ask the Gold Digger” column appears Mondays in the News-Press Life section.

Westmont art majors share projects MONTECITO — Thirteen graduating art majors at Westmont College began offering their capstone art projects Friday. The works varied from oil paintings to drawings, collages, digital illustrations, sculptural installations, prints, photographs, videos and stop-motion animation. The variety of art is part of “Untold: Westmont Graduate Exhibition 2021,” which runs from April 8 to May 8 at the Westmont Ridley-Tree Museum of Art. “Despite the challenges of working under pandemic restrictions, this senior class has created an impressive collective body of work for their senior exhibition,” said Scott Anderson, professor of art and senior project adviser. “The works display a range of interests, from stewardship of the environment to personal narratives, and some comment directly on the moment we’re living in. These student visions have as yet been untold, and the art department faculty are proud and excited to celebrate them with this exhibition showcasing their efforts.” The artists include Val Angulo, Corban Banez, Emily Bark, Rachel Elliott, Sophia Gutierrez, Sharon Ko, Elisabeth Lee, Madeline Lush, Ceci M. Amboy, Daniel Staples, Evelyn Thoen, Charlotte Westburg and Caroline Wyckoff. Ken Jewesson, a local artist and former head of two prestigious art schools, and his wife, Francie, are sponsoring the show. — Grayce McCormick

By FRANK STEWART Tribune Content Agency

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.
