Harbor gets ‘Clean Sweep’ Volunteers participate in 13th Operation Clean Sweep

By ANNELISE HANSHAW NEWS-PRESS STAFF WRITER

A dumpster full of corroded crab traps, pipes, tarp and more emerged from the ocean’s floor during Operation Clean Sweep, the Santa Barbara Waterfront Department’s annual harbor cleanup. Waterfront officials canceled the past two years’ Clean Sweeps, so seasoned “sweepers” have waited to dive in until Sunday morning for the 13th Operation Clean Sweep. “It’s almost like we’ve picked up right where we left off,” Harbor Operations Manager Erik Engebretson told the News-Press. “We have folks today that have been volunteers since we started.” Santa Barbara city divers, Santa Barbara City College dive program graduates and Salty Dog Dive Service staff were among the event’s 50 volunteers. The effort focused on the trash beneath the commercial fishing docks at the Santa Barbara Harbor. Divers swam down, clipping rope onto garbage and guiding it to the dock. Volunteers above water pulled the rope up, threw the mucky items into bins and carted the trash to a large dumpster. Waterfront Public Information Officer Chris Bell estimated that this year’s haul was the largest yet. The cleanup changes location annually, so it takes about five years to make a full rotation. David Running, a Waterfront maintenance diver, guesses that the two-year gap likely didn’t make a huge difference on the haul. “The longer you go between the more stuff is gonna accumulate, but I don’t think I don’t think it was that bad,” he said.

Volunteers lift bins used to store live crabs out of the ocean, a heavy task with sludge in the containers.

Plastic bins with holes drilled out comprised most of Sunday’s trash pile. Fishermen store live crabs in these containers, holding them underwater to keep the crabs alive until market time. A diver hauled up one of these boxes and found around five live crabs inside, but that wasn’t the

oddest find of the day. One volunteer group found a swordfish bill (and separated it from the rest of the haul). Waterfront staff assume most of the trash they recovered ended up on the seafloor accidentally, either by a boater’s misstep or a strong gust of wind.

Although the items may have been light enough to catch the breeze, they’re heavier when lifted from the ocean. Creatures like mussels or sea slugs cling onto the large trash, and containers fill with sludge. Mr. Running, who has Please see HARBOR on A4

Goleta city staff is bringing back to the City Council the updated 2021-2023 Strategic Plan, a guiding policy resource that identifies the priorities and goals of the organization and serves as a roadmap to inform future decision making, the city’s budget allocations and defining priorities in the departments’ annual work programs. After hearing the first draft version in February of this year, the City Council requested a focus on celebrating and improving the city’s existing diversity, equity and inclusion efforts. The new section was reviewed by the Diversity, Equity and Inclusion Ad Hoc Subcommittee. During the staff presentation, staff will walk through the last remaining strategic goal and associated objectives to review the changes proposed to ensure equity, inclusion and access in city programs, services and activities. The added statements include: “continually examine operational policies and practices to eliminate bias and ensure equity, inclusion, and access; use data to develop baselines, set goals and measure the success of specific programmatic and policy changes; encourage and support the Santa Barbara County Sheriff’s ongoing efforts

to ensure equitable policing; and seek input from relevant organizations and community groups,” among others. Goleta City Council members will also receive a presentation from the Santa Barbara Alliance for Community Transformation on the potential creation of a Goleta Regional Action Plan. Among other things, the Goleta RAP would bring together business owners, the South Coast Regional Chamber of Commerce and other key stakeholders experiencing the impacts of homelessness to create strategies to reduce the impacts of homelessness for the City of Goleta, according to the staff report. “The primary objectives of the RAP include rallying appropriate partners to resolve local issues; helping educate the community on long term solutions to homelessness through presentations during RAP meetings; and creating 30/60/90-day impact reduction plans with all partners,” the staff report reads. “SBACT’s proposal and RAP efforts are intended to work in support of the City’s Homelessness Strategic Plan, not supplant it.” If the Council wishes to provide financial support, SBACT is seeking base funding for the effort in the amount of $16,750.

Goleta Council to hear updated 2021-23 Strategic Plan By GRAYCE MCCORMICK

In a major work effort to meet the City of Santa Barbara’s goals, policies and implementation measures of the General Plan’s Historic Resources Element, city planners are proposing amendments to the existing Historic Resources Ordinance. The amendments, which apply citywide, aim to ensure the continued protection, preservation and enhancement of historical, architectural and archaeological resources; streamline the review process of potential designations and restoration projects to historic resources; and outline a process and criteria for designating historic districts. To inform property owners of historic resources around the preservation principles, appropriate treatment of historic resources and the city’s architectural design review process before beginning a project, staff and members of the Historic Landmarks Commission developed Historic Resource Design Guidelines. The Santa Barbara City Council will be asked to adopt the guidelines Tuesday afternoon. The guidelines are available to view on the city’s website at SantaBarbaraCA.gov/hrdg, and

provide specific instructions on: windows, doors, exterior woodwork, exterior plaster and masonry, roofs, roof elements and chimneys, porches and balconies, paint, additions, new construction, accessory dwelling units, streetscape, landscape and lighting elements and more. “The overarching goal of the guidelines is to protect the historical and architectural integrity of significant historic structures and landscapes in Santa Barbara,” the draft document with the guidelines reads. “Incorporating these guidelines into a project’s design will encourage more compatible architecture, attractive development in historic districts, context-sensitive design and contribute to the overall historic character of the city.” Major elements of the proposed Historic Resources Ordinance would: streamline the process to designate historic resources; outline a process to initiate, nominate and designate Historic Districts; include a new section on enforcement and penalties; establish a Certificate of Appropriateness process to review and approve minor maintenance administratively; update and incorporate definitions and language consistent with State and Please see COUNCIL on A4

Loans available for small businesses Small non-farm businesses in 11 California counties, including Santa Barbara County, are eligible to apply for low-interest federal disaster loans from the U.S. Small Business Administration. The loans offset economic losses because of reduced revenues caused by doubt in several primary counties, including Santa Barbara, San Luis Obispo, San Benito and Monterey counties. Other counties eligible include: Ventura, Santa Cruz, Santa Clara, Merced, Kings, Kern and Fresno. “SBA eligibility covers both the economic impacts on businesses dependent on farmers and ranchers that have suffered agricultural production losses caused by the disaster and businesses directly impacted by the disaster,” Tanya N. Garfield, director of SBA’s Disaster Field Operations Center-West, said in a statement. Small non-farm businesses, small agriculture cooperatives, small businesses engaged in aquaculture and most private nonprofit organizations of any size may qualify for loans up to $2 million to help meet financial obligations and operating expenses, which could have been met had the disaster not occurred. “Eligibility for these loans is based on the financial

impact of the disaster only and not on any actual property damage. These loans have an interest rate of 2.88 percent for businesses and 2 percent for private nonprofit organizations, a maximum term of 30 years, and are available to small businesses and most private nonprofits without the financial ability to offset the adverse impact without hardship,” Ms. Garfield said. Businesses primarily engaged in farming or ranching are not eligible for SBA disaster assistance. Agricultural enterprises should contact the Farm Services Agency about the U.S. Department of Agriculture assistance made available by the Secretary’s declaration. However, nurseries are eligible for SBA disaster assistance in drought disasters. Applicants may apply online, receive additional disaster assistance information and download applications at https://disasterloanassistance.sba.gov/. Applicants may also call SBA’s Customer Service Center at 800-659-2955 or email disastercustomerservice@sba. gov for more information on SBA disaster assistance. Individuals who are deaf or hard of hearing may call 800-877-8339. Completed applications should be mailed to U.S. Small Business Administration, Processing and Disbursement Center, 14925 Kingsport Road, Fort Worth, TX 76155. — Mitchell White

Continued from Page A1 participated in two other Clean Sweeps, noticed larger debris Sunday. (Some pieces were so large the dock’s lifts were struggling to pull them upwards.) His main concern, though, is visibility. Another diver told volunteers he was trying not to reach the seafloor, as it stirred up silt around him. “It’s really easy to get disoriented, and you don’t know which direction you’re going,” he said. “So if you’re trying to search, like under the dock running lengthwise, you could see something and grab onto it, and then your visibility turns to nothing. “And while you’re looking, you rotate and, all of a sudden, you’re swimming in the completely wrong direction. So trying to make sure you actually cover the whole area is probably the biggest challenge.” Each diver had a section to cover and a crew of at least four volunteers to pull on the rope and lift debris.

Pierce O’Donnell holds up a swordfish bill retrieved during Operation Clean Sweep Sunday.

Volunteers were splashed with thick, grey goo (to varying degrees), and washed piles of sludge off the deck. Many arrived

in muck boots, ready for the slime. It wasn’t hard to attract volunteers, Mr. Engebretson said.

In fact, he turned people away to keep with strict health and safety protocols. When public health guidance loosened, he welcomed more volunteers to the operation. The city’s divers frequently work with SBCC students, calling on the classes to assist in periodic maintenance and gain experience. The clean up efforts certify the Santa Barbara Waterfront as a participant of the Clean Marinas Program, a title it has held since July 2006. As a new part of the event this year, 10 volunteers gathered trash from West Beach as well. Officials also provided free electronic recycling at a marina. Waterfront maintenance worker Terry Fransen says he often has to pick up an old television set left by a boat owner, so the electronic recycling opportunity could help relieve small incidents of illegal dumping. But few electronics were gathered Sunday, apart from a cell phone and a car battery fished from the seafloor. email: ahanshaw@newspress.com

Continued from Page A1 National Historic Preservation standards; create a consistent format for findings for each type of historic resource; eliminate redundant sections already included in Title 30; and remove outdated ordinance provisions, among others. In similar business, the City Council will be asked to consider proposed amendments related to the Architectural Board of Review

Single-Family Design Board and Sign Regulations to maintain consistency with the concurrent amendments proposed to the HLC in the new Historic Resources Ordinance. The proposed amendments to the ABR Ordinance will revise the section pertaining to the project compatibility analysis, as well as the section dealing with appeals to the project compatibility analysis to Council. Specifically, the amendments clarify that the project

compatibility analysis requires that the board make “findings” as the basis to support their decision, as opposed to referring to the analysis as merely “considerations.” “This simple clarification will make it clear to applicants and interested parties of the limitations and basis of the board’s decision should they wish to appeal,” the staff report says. A change is also being added to the proposed “Project Compatibility Findings” to specify

that the board must find that a project is consistent with design guidelines applicable to the location of the project within the city, intended to alert applicants to identify the design guidelines appropriate to their project location before bringing a design proposal to the ABR.

are not considered nonconforming uses. These uses are often seen as community amenities serving the health and entertainment needs of community members. Allowing greater flexibility for these uses consequently may be of significant benefit to the community.” The regular 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

Fascination with fish

Aquatic Jewels is new shop in Montecito Village By MARILYN MCMAHON NEWS-PRESS STAFF WRITER

here’s definitely something fishy about the shop that Dottie Allen opened last month in Upper Montecito Village near the Post Office. Called Aquatic Jewels, the saltwater aquarium store specializes in live corals and reef safe fish. It also sells aquarium supplies and offers professional aquarium installations and maintenance. What’s the difference between saltwater and freshwater aquariums? “Fish in saltwater live longer because they sleep at night. Freshwater fish never sleep. Saltwater fish find a rock or a crevasse in the tank and curl up and go to sleep. A clown fish can live 20 years. I just lost an angel fish that was 12 years old,” Ms. Allen told the News-Press. The saltwater is processed in the shop by using reverse osmosis filtration with salt added. Among the aquariums she sells are tanks ranging in size from 4

feet tall and 10 feet long that hold 550 gallons of water to small ones that are 8 inches wide and 12 inches tall and hold 5 gallons of water. “The most common one is the 4-gallon tank which costs $69.99, and the most common setup costs $2,500, but I have done some for $75,000,” said Ms. Allen. “My saltwater fish, which range in size from 1 inch to 10 inches, are mostly non-aggressive and include tangs, angels, wrasses, eels and rabbit fish.” If Ms. Allen, an avid scuba diver, sounds especially enthusiastic about the world of fish, it’s because she has been fascinated with them since the age of 10 and had guppies. “When I was an accountant in Bakersfield, I had a tank in my office. One day I got to thinking, ‘I should do this for a living.’ I liked fish better than doing income taxes,” she said. In 1989, Ms. Allen came to Santa Barbara to look for a shop location and stopped at the Ark Pet & Supply Store in Carpinteria to ask for advice. “I ended up buying the store,” Please see AQUARIUM on B2

Continued from Page B1 said the grandmother of four and great-grandmother of six. “Then, for 12 years, I owned Aquatic Gardens on De la Vina Street, after which I owned Aquatic Village in Ventura with my husband Vern. We sold it in 2010 but kept maintaining the tanks for customers. “Finally, in 2014, Vern said ‘Let’s go traveling,’ and that’s what we did for four years — Iceland, Greenland, Paris — we saw it all.” When her husband became ill in Russia in November 2019, the couple returned home. Mr. Allen died in April 2020. “That was the start of the pandemic, and I began to get calls from former customers — some I hadn’t heard from in 10 years — who needed their aquariums

maintained in their offices while they were forced to stay at home. Fortunately, I connected with Mark Amescua, a young man, who continues to help me,” she said. When Ms. Allen decided to open a shop in Montecito Village, Norman Borgatello, a longtime friend and owner of the shopping complex near the intersection of San Ysidro and East Valley roads in Montecito, said he would save a place for her.

“It took me 11 months to open because I couldn’t get plexiglass for the tanks. All the plexiglass was being used for COVID-19 prevention,” said Ms. Allen, who considers the corals she sells as jewels, hence the name of her new store. “Having a saltwater aquarium is like bringing the ocean into your home. They are living pictures. I just replaced some bookcases on either side of a fireplace with the tanks and their colorful fish. Doctors love them for their offices because they distract patients from their physical ailments, and they are also popular in retirement homes and hospitals. They are especially good for Alzheimer’s patients, who sit for hours and watch the fish. They are very therapeutic.” email: mmcmahon@newspress. com

“Having a saltwater aquarium is like bringing the ocean into your home. They are living pictures,” said Ms. Allen.

May there be Spring!

R. sends me a huge German Expressionist type woodcut in the Medieval style; it tells two important stories in the Faust Play by Goethe. The piece is signed by Bernd Kroeber (1942), a teacher of art and travelling artist born in Austria and known in the 1960s and ‘70s in the San Francisco area for woodcuts with deep themes in monochromatic colors — which is a very old tradition in woodcuts. The inscription in the artist’s hand on the bottom says “Ad Radieur, Il Medio,” and I believe this title is meant to convey Faust’s rigidity, meeting life only halfway in his self-importance, but I could be wrong. The piece is dated 1974 and signed in the woodcut plate “Kroeber Pinxt,” the ancient way of claiming “I painted this” often seen on medieval woodcuts. I love woodcuts and like most forms of relief printmaking, it is difficult to get right, because the artist has to ‘see’ his end product in the negative. The artist carves an image into the surface of the wood, gouging OUT the areas that are NOT the image, leaving as the surface ONLY the (relief) areas that SHOULD be inked. Perhaps the most famous Germanic woodcut artist was Albrecht Durer. So, what is Mr. Kroeber representing? Two scenes in the Faust Play: the first, Faust in his study, and as he is a great scholar, he is translating the Book of John, stumbling over just how to translate “In the Beginning was the Word.” He translates it thus: “In the Beginning was the Deed,” realizing that for him, action is the driving force in the universe. Well, his poodle (I always found it Germanically funny that Faust had a POODLE) sets up a deep growl, which grows louder; Faust realizes

The inscription in the artist’s hand on the bottom says “Ad Radieur, Il Medio,” which the Gold Digger believes is meant to convey Faust’s rigidity, meeting life only halfway in his selfimportance.

that the dog is likely possessed and calls upon his magic skills to call forth the demon, and of course out jumps Mephistopheles, dressed as a scholar himself. Check the surprised dog! Thus, in Mr. Kroeber’s woodcut we see this moment, after which the devil and Faust will begin a debate as the devil lays out the bargain he has in mind for Faust’s soul. Faust won’t release his magic spell, forcing the devil to stay in his study, but of course, being the devil, he escapes as Faust dozes off, with the help of some local vermin. The work is complex and must have been a major feat to carve into a big block of wood at 24” x 15”. On the opposite side of the doubly framed pair of images, we see another famous scene from Goethe’s Faust: Mephistopheles has brought Faust to a witch’s lair set up to make potions, which we see in bottles with black magic labels. The devil has instructed the witch to prepare an elixir that will take 30 years off Faust (I might be tempted to trade my soul

for that). Faust sees himself as a young man together in a mirror with a beautiful woman, and he jumps to drink the potion. We see this moment when Faust is holding the beaker, before he digresses into this baser, more carnal, more young and handsome self. This work was also a major project to carve at the same large size as its mate; a size rare for a woodcut, as so many things can go wrong when the artist pulls the piece off the wood block after pressing the paper down hard. Whether or not you would hang such themes is immaterial as the work shows a mastery of the process of woodcuts beautifully. And it also references that Medieval European Woodcuts were one of the first communication devices known in art: wood was cheap to cut, and once inked, multiples of any image could be made as opposed to an original painting or drawing. In fact, many broadsides were printed this way as political and religious persuasion tools, some without words, as most of the population could not read. The artist is referring to this tradition as well, in the graphic and simplistic full fronted shock of an image in a linear style in a single color. Sorry to say that Mr. Kroeber does not have much of a following at auction, and such pieces as this complex and historically referential piece might sell for as little as a few hundred bucks. By the way, the owner would like to sell if my readers need a dose of Faust on the wall. Might be a good panacea at the tail end of this darned pandemic.

Codeword is a fun game with simple rules, and a great way to test your knowledge of the English language. 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.

‘Solvang School: Bird Studies’ Student exhibition on view through Sept. 12 By MARILYN MCMAHON NEWS-PRESS STAFF WRITER

School field trips were put on pause over the last year, but the Wildling Museum in Solvang teamed up with Solvang School to bring art and nature to the virtual classroom. The partnership culminated in a new online student exhibition, “Solvang School: Bird Studies,” on view online through Sept. 12. The artists include Julia Aparicio, Alleiyah Berry, Haidy Campos, Quincy Godfrey, Ella Gotschall, Max Johnson, Clea Malkmus, Jaide Malkmus, Campbell McClurg, Sophie Miller, Alexis Mobbs, Audrey Morgan, Kaitlyn Petersen, Presley Pinoli, Cypress Raymond, Hannah Ricci and Beau Woodall. Stacey Otte-Demangate, Wildling Museum executive director, worked with educator Erin Dunkle and middle school

students enrolled in Solvang School’s Art and Science elective class to explore birding and the art of John James Audubon. After beginning the school year with a focus on nature journaling, the students turned their attention to birds with guest lectures offered by the Wildling Museum via Zoom to provide background information about bird watching and John James Audubon in addition to guided drawing lessons. The students learned about bird anatomy, practiced identifying birds based on their size, shape and color patterns, drew living birds using live bird cams from the Cornell Lab of Ornithology and analyzed Audubon’s work from his book, “Birds of America.” After selecting a bird species to focus on, students used a technique inspired by Audubon’s process of pinning collected (hunted) bird specimens onto gridded boards, allowing them to achieve accurate

proportions when drawing birds on gridded paper. Students selected a digital reference image of their chosen bird species, then placed a digital grid over that image before translating their compositions to watercolor paper where they were then able to accurately map out bird proportions. Based on their research, students then added midground and background details to their paintings that reflect the natural habitat of their bird species. “I’m so grateful for our collaboration with the Wildling Museum so far this year and look forward to additional ways we can partner in the future. We are very lucky to have this amazing educational resource in our community,” said Ms. Dunkle, the students’ instructor. “Our students have such a passion for art and getting into Mrs. Espejo’s art classes at the

middle school can be competitive. I’m a big art appreciator so I created this class. The response was very positive the first time we offered it, so I’m teaching it again.” Solvang School’s Art and Science elective class explores the skills that artists and scientists share: observation, curiosity and creativity. Over the course of the year, students investigate how art can promote scientific discovery and understanding and how science and technology have influenced art. email: mmcmahon@newspress. com
