Goleta Council to consider adopting homelessness plan By GRAYCE MCCORMICK NEWS-PRESS STAFF WRITER

Goleta’s first homelessness strategic plan could be adopted Tuesday. In the regular meeting, the City Council will review and be recommended to adopt the plan, which has been in the works for a year and a half. The nearly 100-page plan aims to guide and coordinate efforts to prevent and address homelessness, targeting funding decisions related to initiatives and grants for nonprofit service providers that focus on homelessness. If adopted, the city would allocate $115,000 for homelessness initiatives. The plan’s four overarching goals include: increasing access to critical services for the homeless; reducing the impacts of homelessness on the community; preventing atrisk individuals from becoming homeless; and increasing the supply of transitional housing,

permanent supportive housing and emergency housing. “Given the complex nature of the challenges of homelessness, a coordinated, integrated effort is needed,” the summary of the plan reads. “The challenge is bigger than any single public or private entity acting on its own can surmount.” In similar business, the council will also review and be recommended to adopt Santa Barbara County’s phase II community plan to address homelessness. The phase I plan, which included key strategies such as increasing access to affordable housing and building provider capacity, was adopted in 2019. Phase II involves prioritizing ending/dramatically reducing homelessness for specific populations; increasing housing inventory dedicated to homelessness and affordability; creating a culture of diversion and prevention across the homeless response system; improving Please see GOLETA on A4

Home values have appreciated nationwide during the pandemic — but especially in Santa Barbara County, where people are

retreating after living and working in cities. “I think the pandemic led people to focus on getting out of town,” Brian King, real estate agent at Village Properties, told the NewsPress. “People who could afford it focused on Montecito, and it’s almost as though Montecito

has been discovered for the umpteenth time.” The pandemic has brought the 12-month sales volume over a billion dollars in Montecito for the past six or seven months, he Please see REAL ESTATE on A3

Tuesday, the Santa Barbara City Council will be asked to award a contract with Lash Construction, Inc., for the Arroyo Burro Open Space Restoration and Trail Improvement Project. The project will restore a portion of the Campanil Drainage, create formal trail routes to improve drainage and install an 85-foot-long pedestrian bridge over the creek. Lash Construction had the lowest bid amount at $1,121,290 out of four other companies, and staff wrote that the amount is an acceptable bid that is responsive to and meets requirements of the bid specifications. “The project will improve water quality within the Arroyo Burro Watershed, restore native wildlife habitat and improve public access and recreation opportunities,” the staff report says. It will take five months to complete, and construction will take place during the dry season. In other business, the council will receive the recommended two-year financial plan for fiscal years 2022 and 2023, including the recommended operating and capital budget for fiscal year 2023. City staff have scheduled special budget work sessions over the next two months where the details of the recommended plan will be presented and discussed as part of the budget public hearing process, according to the staff report. A copy of the plan will be available for public review on Tuesday. Another presentation headed the council’s way is one on the importance of youth safety and community efforts, especially amid gun-related homicides across the nation. “This violence not only destroys the lives of the victims, but the fabric of the community,” the staff report says. “We are not immune from these losses. Violence among

young adults is often driven by neighborhood conflicts and subsequent retaliation. “In order to reduce gun violence, communities must forge strong relationships between law enforcement, schools, off campus social services, clergy, advocates and community members, who together can provide a clear community message that is supportive of our youth, and intolerant to violence.” The plan provides a collective voice from connected and committed community leaders actively involved in providing services, advocacy and support to local youth. Finally, the council will consider a request from Mayor Pro Tem Oscar Gutierrez and Council member Meagan Harmon to discuss an urgency ordinance for hazard pay for onsite grocery and drug retail workers. The council members point out that while many other businesses were able to shift to working from home, grocery and drug retail workers continued to serve the community every day. “Grocery and drug store employees work in environments where they come into close contact with large numbers of customers over the course of the work day, and these working conditions have resulted in localized outbreaks of COVID-19 in grocery and drug stores,” the request reads. “The enactment of this emergency ordinance by the city is a recognition of the sacrifices of our front line retail workers have made during the COVID-19 pandemic, and an effort to justly compensate them for their service to the Santa Barbara community during this most challenging time.” The meeting will begin at 2 p.m. Tuesday, and can be viewed on City TV Channel 18 or streamed live at www.SantaBarbaraCA.gov/ CAP.

“The power of this grant lies in its emphasis on both ecological and social processes. We are utilizing a resilient community design model with our community partners, which allows us to engage the larger Santa Barbara community, students and faculty at SBCC and local organizations towards place-based ecological literacy training, social justice analysis and community organizing,” Daniel Parra Hensel, adjunct faculty member in SBCC’s environmental horticulture department said. “The impacts will be felt far and wide!” Students at SBCC started a biodiverse garden on campus in 2015 to create a habitat for native plants and pollinators and produce food for the college’s food pantry. The EPA grant will help develop this garden and link it to other community sites.

Explore Ecology oversees 30 school gardens throughout Santa Barbara County and is focusing on the six closest to SBCC for this project. “Explore Ecology is thrilled to be part of this EPA grant which will lead to greater environmental education opportunities for our community. We look forward to the collaborations and partnerships that this grant will foster. This is a big moment for environmental education in Santa Barbara,” Lindsay Johnson, Explore Ecology’s executive director, said.

SANTA BARBARA — The Santa Barbara Ecological and Edible Garden Project will create a network of community gardens that increase access to homegrown produce and connect community members to natural ecosystems. Santa Barbara City College, Explore Ecology and five other community partners formed the project and received a $100,000 grant from the Environmental Protection Agency’s Environmental Education Program to launch six gardens. “This is the largest EPA Environmental Education grant ever awarded to an organization in Santa Barbara County, and one of the largest in California in recent decades,” Rachel Johnson, SBCC Foundation Director of Grants, said in a news release. “It speaks to the collaborative work and far-reaching impact of Santa Barbara City College, Explore Ecology, and our many incredible community partners.” The gardens will be at the following locations: the SBCC permaculture garden, Explore Ecology school garden sites, Mesa Harmony Garden, the westside location of United Boys and Girls Club of Santa Barbara County, El Centro (Santa Barbara Lower Westside Community Center), Youth Drought Project and the Santa Barbara Botanic Garden. In addition to providing a place to grow, the project seeks to educate the public on critical issues, like ecological health, native habitats and water conservation. Students and faculty from SBCC’s permaculture program will help sites cultivate and expand their gardens. Hugh Kelly at Mesa Harmony Garden, and Chuy Valle, Chelsea Lancaster and the Somos Semillas Collective at El Centro are integral to this step as well.

said, and it is approaching $2 billion. “Just Montecito alone, sales over the last 12 month, approaching $1.8 billion is extraordinary,” he said. “It’s a very small area. It’s mind boggling.” Although the dollar amount is high, the number of houses available in Santa Barbara County is down 50% from March 2020 according to Realtor.com’s residential listings database. So, this year, buyers have half the number of homes to choose from. And the houses available this year tend to be more expensive.

A more telling indicator of appreciation is the cost per square foot. In March, sellers listed their houses at a median of $800 per square foot — up 27% compared to March 2020. Prior to the pandemic, local real estate was competitive, but it has gotten even stronger. “There is no indication of a slowdown in the market,” Mr. King said. “Now, I’m not suggesting that in six or nine months time, things are not going to change, but as I’m talking to you, from the end of March,

which was two weeks ago, nothing’s changed.” The housing market tends to heat up in correlation with the weather, but according to Mr. King, there wasn’t much of a slow down this winter. He held one open house during the pandemic where agents and buyers scheduled a 15-minute time slot. He thought just eight groups would attend but ended up extending the event to almost five hours to accommodate the interest. “We are in another boom market, but a boom market like no other. People who have been in the business 30 or 40 years

have not seen anything like the activity we’re seeing now,” he said. And interest continues to accelerate. The proportion of active listings to houses in escrow continues to skew towards more contracts. In March, mortgage rates went up to 3.08 with .7 points, according to FreddieMac’s 30-year fixed-rate monthly averages. It hit a record low in December with a rate of 2.68 with .7 points. The low mortgage rates helped coax new buyers into the market in areas suitable for first-time homebuyers while high list prices encouraged sellers to

Homes that sold in March were on the market for an average of 82 days. “Anything that comes on the market at a market price is almost under offer within the week. If not, a few days,” he said.

Old Spanish Days names Spirit, Junior Spirit

Santa Barbara County Jail awarded national accreditation SANTA BARBARA — The Santa Barbara County Sheriff’s Office has earned accreditation from the National Commission on Correctional Health Care by demonstrating compliance with NCCHC’s Standards for Health Services in Jails. Accreditation recognizes Santa Barbara County Sheriff’s Office dedication to compliance with the most respected standards in correctional health care, said Raquel Zick, sheriff’s spokeswoman. The County Jail underwent a rigorous on-site survey in September 2020. An experienced physician and other experts in correctional health care surveyed the facility for compliance with standards on safety, personnel and training, health care services and support, patient care and treatment, health promotion, special needs and services, health records and legal issues.

Old Spanish Days has announced the winners of the Spirit and Junior Spirit of Fiestafor the 2021 event. Ysabella Yturralde, a 16-year-old junior at San Marcos High School, has been tapped as the Spirit, and 9-year-old Savannah Hoover, a third grader at Hollister School, has been selected as Junior Spirit. The girls auditioned for their roles Saturday

at the Lobero Theatre, where Fiesta began in 1924. A rebroadcast of the event will air at 7 p.m. Saturday on Channel 13. This year, 10 Spirit finalists and five Junior Spirit finalists auditioned for their titles, according to Angelique Davis, event spokeswoman. Ysabella and Savannah will each receive a $600 scholarship. In addition, Ysabella and one companion will receive a trip to Sevilla in the Andalucia region of Spain to experience the Flamenco culture firsthand. The trip includes accommodations for five nights, plane fare,

participation in a flamenco show and private lessons. The gift is sponsored by the Tourist Office of Spain in Los Angeles. Natalie Mowers, 17, a junior at San Marcos, was named Spirit of Fiesta runner-up. Ariyanna Alcantar, 8, a third grader at Foothill Elementary, was named Junior Spirit runnerup. They will both receive a $300 scholarship. The event is scheduled to take place from Aug. 4 to 8. email: mwhite@newspress.com

The city is not required to participate in any specific project or program or commit any financial contribution or cost sharing for this plan. Instead, by adopting the plan, Goleta would acknowledge the regional nature of homelessness and the spirit of cooperation.

In other business, the city will consider installing a stop sign on Mallard Avenue at Gato Avenue to improve safety. “The T-intersection of Mallard Avenue and Gato Avenue is currently uncontrolled,” the staff report says. “Due to the angled alignment of the intersection approaches, it is not apparent to drivers which of the approaches are the major street or minor street approaches.” The total estimated cost to install the stop sign at the location is approximately $1,000.

A public hearing on the annual adjustments for user fees and charges and review of the cost allocation plan and user fee study will also take place in the meeting Tuesday. The purpose of the study was to identify the total cost of providing each city service in a manner that is consistent with applicable laws, statutes, rules and regulations governing the collection of fees and rates for charges by public entities, according to the staff report. “Overall, revenue increases are difficult to estimate, due to the

change in activity levels from year to year, as well as pandemic impacts,” the staff report says. “At this time, staff estimates the increase to the fees could result in an increase of $10,000 to $100,000. Primarily, adopting these updated fees would help ensure the city is pursuing full cost recovery.” The City Council meeting will begin at 5:30 p.m. and can be viewed on Goleta Channel 19 or online at https://tinyurl.com/ GoletaMeetings. email: gmccormick@newspress.com

Problem solver Lighting design expert recalls unusual projects

By MARILYN MCMAHON NEWS-PRESS STAFF WRITER

There have been many notable projects in Steven Handelman’s 48 years as the principal designer and founder of Steven Handelman Studios, which specializes in lighting fixtures and accessories. “I have done work for clients in every state in the country and all over the world — all the Disneyland theme parks, the Dubai Opera House, the Royal House of Saud, Yale University, Caltech and 78 country clubs, including Pebble Beach and The Greenbrier to name a few,” said Mr. Handelman. “The most fun and challenging have distinct and unusual themes. These projects give me the opportunity to explore new ideas, techniques and styles. They challenge the status quo and refresh my creativity.” He cited three examples that fall into that category: an authentic Danish farmhouse in Solvang, the Warner Grand Theatre in San Pedro and a corporate rental in downtown Seattle. “I was contracted to design and fabricate all lighting and decorative architectural elements for the Solvang house that was being completely refurbished,” Mr. Handelman told the News-Press. The historic home was built by Ferd Sorensen, a local woodworker who was considered the father of Solvang architecture. “In 1940, he constructed an authentic Danish style windmill next to his home, which started a trend that would define the destiny of Solvang,” Mr. Handelman said. “Over the next 30 years, Ferd built most of the Danish provincial-style buildings

“When my client explained that he wanted me to design Space Needle lamps for the master bedroom, my mind immediately started flashing pictures of how the finished product would look and how they would be constructed,” Steve Handelman said.

in downtown Solvang. This home was built in 1956 for his niece who had come from Denmark. “The carved beams in the living room are classic Ferd Sorensen.

Steve Handelman has demonstrated his talent for designing attractive and memorable lamps such as this one.

On each beam are carved Viking ships sailing on the ocean. The carving style was my inspiration for the pendants and wall sconces for the living room.” The mirror and sconces in the entry are typical of Mr. Sorensen’s woodwork. “I added a small metal Viking ship detail to the wood-turned sconces, which linked them to the Viking ship theme. In every room, there are charming folk art embellishments,” said Mr. Handelman, who added the dragon lantern at the entrance and “what every Danish house needs — a stork on the roof.” The native of St. Louis said his many years of studying historical architectural styles enables him to create new designs that look correct for each period. “The process of historic restoration, repair and reproduction requires a variety of skills. A comprehensive knowledge of historic design, engineering, metal and glass fabrication, 3D modeling, casting, lighting efficiency, metallic finish

“I also feel privileged to be part of Santa Barbara history with my numerous pieces at local landmarks such as The Granada and the Santa Barbara County Courthouse,” said designer Steve Handelman, standing inside The Granada.

skills, leaded glass and etched glass are all necessary,” said Mr. Handleman. His business has been located on North Milpas Street since 1991. “Each new job is like a puzzle. Investigation, research and innovation are required to reach a solution that will hold up to the sharp eyes of historians and please the stakeholders while

conforming to current codes.” His expertise in the field was invaluable while working on a restoration project for the Warner Grand Theatre in San Pedro in 2020. “The theater is a great example of the fabulous movie palaces that were built in the 1920s and ’30s. Thousands of people went to the movies every day from early morning to late at night. They could not get enough of them. Not only were the movies exciting, the movie palaces were a big part of the package. The buildings were enormous and elaborate.” When Mr. Handelman’s crew began the project, they found the 1929 vintage fixtures in sad shape.Over the years, parts were broken and missing; the finishes were completely degraded and the electric system was a mess. “The zinc that was used to secure the glass had failed over time and resulted in many of the etched glass parts to break or disappear. A critical light diffuser was missing from all the fixtures, and there was no record of what it looked like. The chandeliers were custom made for the theater, and it would have been very difficult to get replacement parts,” he said. “We were able to create a replacement part that shared design elements with the original chandelier. Our design historian and engineering department created a model for the new part using our 3D computer program.” The Seattle project presented another unique challenge. The rental for traveling corporate executives is an apartment on the 28th floor of the newly constructed Nexus Building. “From every window, there are terrific views of Seattle, including the iconic Space Needle. Like a lot of great ideas, the Space Needle began as a doodle on a napkin in 1959. Edward Carleson, the

This ability to visualize and then manipulate those visions is a critical component in my design process. I envisioned Space Needle replicas made of polished steel that would reflect light from their many surfaces. “We also fabricated a spacethemed light for the kitchen and desk lamps that would complement the Space Needle bedside lamps.” At age 74, Mr. Handelman said he has no plans to retire. “My work keeps me healthy and my brain sharp. I embrace my routine and solving problems. I also feel privileged to be part of Santa Barbara history with my numerous pieces at local landmarks such as The Granada and the Santa Barbara County Courthouse.” email: mmcmahon@newspress.com

Japanese saru was designed to work in the home

.R. has a big carved wood fish that she bought when a Long John Silver’s Restaurant was closing about 25 years ago. It has hung on her garden wall for many of those years. Now that she has only that wall to look at, outside of her “office” ( her dining room table), she has become curious. What the heck was it? This is a Japanese saru. Here’s how it worked, and it did do some work — in about 19101940 I would estimate. In a traditional main room of a Japanese home, folk dwelling or tea house, there’s a big indenture in the floor — a square hearth lined with stone, called an irori. Over that, attached by ropes to a beam in the ceiling is a jizaikagi, which is an iron rod within a bamboo tube. This raises and lowers a suspended kettle or cookpot over the irori. But so that there is a counterweight to the pot that acts as a lever, that fish was used. You will note that it has three holes in the body: two at the bottom and one at the top. The shape of the fish is uniquely perfect for the lever action, as the nose of the fish points toward the pot and the tail is the actual lever. At the bottom (not the top as in the photo) is the iron hook which fixes upon the cookpot handle. Everything in the main room where this hung in the early 20th century was designed to be unobtrusive, harmonious and suited to its task. This is an ancient form and is often considered part of the architecture introduced into Japanese tea house construction by Takeno Joujou (1502-1555). What I love about the fish is that the form is perfect for the function, but also that it is, in fact, a carp or koi fish. The carp is a symbol of hardiness and a symbol of love and beauty, three things that food

and tea make us think of. And I love that the use of it is subtle, out of the way, made of a simple thing like softwood, lightly carved and perfectly in proportion for what it is called to do. That’s so different from my style of decorating in my house, which my partner feels is designed to trip, bump heads and just look pretty. The saru that are valuable are the large ones, and the early ones even more so, because, of course, being held over an open fire, many have disappeared over the years. The large ones speak of the size of the home and the kettle, meaning the inhabitants of that room could afford a bigger saru, needed also for the extra leverage

of the pot it supported. Searching for values for this wonderful piece, I couldn’t find any offerings that were located in the U.S. If T.R. wanted to replace this fish, which we now know is a thing of beauty — should it be lost in our next fire, for example — she would have to purchase one in Japan. In this country, their function is virtually unknown, which speaks to the fact that T.R. bought it in a closing down sale of an American chain fish house, where there was nothing Japanese about the décor. More than likely it hung on a wall as a fish ornament — and not as a piece of functioning architecture meant to be put to good and beautiful use. The name jizaikagi means,

literally, free hook, which means that the hook can be adjustable, raising and lowering, as well as moving the kettle to a hotter spot of fire in the irori. Such saru were found in train stations through Japan, as an example of a public building where tea was served, as well as in the traditional home. You find these saru mainly in softwoods, lightly varnished, but the wealthy had such saru of bronze as well. The value is $500-800, and would have been more had T.G. not exposed the saru to 25 years of Santa Barbara sun. I find it interesting that many of my readers have sent me photos of objects that they have had in their living spaces for years and never really wondered about the history

of the object or value of it either. The pandemic has brought us closer to the things that have been in our “architecture” for years — and taken for granted, perhaps, if my many emails from readers are any indication! Keep ‘em coming!

Written after her father’s COVID-19 diagnosis, Dr. Stewart’s book “My Darlin’ Quarantine: Intimate Connections Created in Chaos” is a humorous collection of five “what-if” short stories that end in personal triumphs over present-day constrictions.

PSHH upgrades Learning Center SANTA MARIA — The nonprofit People’s Self-Help Housing has reopened its Learning Center after completing necessary renovations and upgrades to the space. The Learning Center at Los Adobes de Maria II, located at Blosser Road and Boone Street in Santa Maria, received exterior upgrades and new interior flooring, as well as upgrades to lighting, cabinets, appliances and restrooms. The Learning Center is used as a space for after-school programs, distance learning and support for students pursuing higher education. “We have been working hard to upgrade this space so it can continue to serve and inspire our students,” PSHH Director of Education Joanna Dominguez said in a statement. “As we begin transitioning back to in-person learning, we felt it was important

to make these much-needed renovations so we have the space and facilities to administer our program successfully.” The renovations were made possible by a $245,000 Community Development Block Grant from the city of Santa Maria. Both teachers and students involved in PSHH’s Camino Scholars program will be able to use the space for programming in the months and years to come, according to a news release. The Camino Scholars program helps college-bound students with application assistance, financial aid applications, career experience workshops, campus visits and mentorship. “It is so important to invest in education for the next generation,” Santa Maria Mayor Alice Patino said in a statement. “My thanks to the many people who made this happen. There are so many individuals and families who rely on Los Adobes de Maria, which is a valued part of our community.” —Madison Hirneisen

Santa Maria bank announces winners SANTA MARIA — The Community Bank of Santa Maria announced the first winners of the bank’s pledge to donate $20,000 to local nonprofits as part of its 20th anniversary celebration. The Salvation Army Santa Maria Corps and Santa Maria Valley Sportsman Association were drawn from the nominations received from bank customers, and each will receive a $1,000 donation. The bank is drawing two names per month from March to December, ultimately donating a total of $20,000 to local nonprofits. “We are so proud to be celebrating our 20th anniversary, and we wanted to express our gratitude to our customers by providing support to the nonprofits they hold near and dear,” said Janet Silveria, bank president and CEO. “In this way, we are also expressing our gratitude to the community for their support. It’s definitely a benefit all the way around, and we couldn’t think of a better way to celebrate.” The bank, once again, offered its annual shred event, which has become an anniversary tradition available to the entire community. “This year, we shredded 28,500 pounds of sensitive, personal information for our community,” Ms. Silveria said. “We are so happy to provide this valuable service to so many people who need help safely discarding sensitive information.” For more information, visit www.yourcbsm.com. — Grayce McCormick

Library to hold talk with romance author SANTA MARIA — The Santa Maria Public Library is welcoming author Madeleine Henry for an interactive discussion of her new novel, “The Love Proof,” during a Valley Reads Book Club meeting at 2 p.m. on May 4 via Zoom video conference. “The Love Proof” is an “unusual love story about lasting connection, time and intuition. It explores the course that perfect love can take between imperfect people and urges us to listen to our hearts rather than our heads – (Simon and Schuster),” according to a news release. Ms. Henry has written two novels: “The Love Proof” and “Breathe In, Cash Out.” “The Love Proof” was selected by The New York Times as a New and Noteworthy book, and her novels have been featured in the Washington Post, the New York Post and Parade. To participate in Valley Reads Book Club, contact jgaytan@cityofsantamaria. org with your name and phone number or email to be included in the Zoom video conference.

Aries

social, Virgo!

Thanks to the sun and Mercury entering Taurus in your second house of value, you’ll have money on the mind this week, Aries. You might fall more for get-rich-quick schemes, so just take it easy. We know you’re quick to act, but you may want to slow things down.

Libra

Taurus You’re finally in the limelight, Taurus. Many planets are stepping into your sign, so live it up while you can. When Mars enters Cancer on Friday, the weekend might call for you to visit siblings or family. And finally, Sunday provides a great day for flirting with bae.

Gemini Being a Gemini means that you enjoy your time with others. However, the sun and your sign, Mercury, are both entering a more private zone in your chart. Mars moves into Cancer in your sector of value this week, so you may find that a little self-reflection can help you understand what you need to feel validated.

Mercury and the sun are moving into Taurus via your intimacy zone. So, the next few weeks are about building stronger bonds with others, Libra. Mars moves into your career zone this week, asking you to stay focused on what you want.

Scorpio This week, all signs point to romance, Scorpio. Mercury and the sun are landing in your partnership zone—so, get ready for connections. As Mars enters Cancer, you might go on a deepdive for knowledge. Be careful of what you find.

Sagittarius Spring cleaning is here, Sagittarius—and it’s all thanks to the sun and Mercury entering your routine zone. Finally though, some romance vibes hit, as Mars enters Cancer over the weekend in your intimacy zone. Cancer loves to cuddle and smooth, so this could be really cute!

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.
