Supes to consider American Rescue Plan allocation By MADISON HIRNEISEN NEWS-PRESS CORRESPONDENT

The Santa Barbara County Board of Supervisors will consider options for spending more than $43 million in funds allocated by the American Rescue Plan during a special meeting Tuesday. The county is slated to receive about $43.3 million in funds from President Joe Biden’s American Rescue Plan Act this year, which comes from the $1.9 trillion recovery plan that was passed in March. Through the plan, Americans received $1,400 stimulus checks, states were allocated a minimum of $500 million in emergency funding and the government enacted special unemployment compensation that waived federal income tax requirements on the first $10,200 in benefits. The plan also made provisions to allocate funds to local governments over the next two years. In all, Santa Barbara County will receive $86.7 million in funds over the next two years,

Andrew Rawls, owner of The Crafter’s Library, stands in his storefront Sunday. The business opened Saturday with a weekend of crafty classes and shopping.

The Crafter’s Library currently supplies four sewing machines. The store will expand its offerings to meet the requests of members in the future.

By ANNELISE HANSHAW NEWS-PRESS STAFF WRITER

Former UCSB student Andrew Rawls made his wild idea a reality when he opened The Crafter’s Library Saturday at 9 E. Figueroa St. in downtown Santa Barbara. The business solves a problem faced by crafters with tight budgets or small apartments by loaning them the machines, like sewing machines and Cricut cutters, and the space to create. There are also supplies available for purchase. The concept began when Mr. Rawls ran a youth center as a military contractor on the

When he returned to Washington, D.C., COVID-19 made it nearly impossible for him to run his tourism company. He moved in with family in Colorado, looking for his next opportunity. One day, he signed up for a sewing class where he had free time to sew on the machine. He liked the business model and began playing with the idea. On a trip with a friend, he put his idea for

The Goleta City Council on Tuesday will receive an annual report from the South Coast Task Force on Youth Safety. The task force aims to improve the safety and the quality of life for local youth and the community, and the council will discuss approving a memorandum of understanding with CommUnify, which would serve as the “host agency,” and the four jurisdictions served by the task force, known as sponsors. The city has been part of the task force since 2010, and a valid MOU was authorized in November 2015. The proposed two-year MOU runs from July 1, 2020 to June 30, 2022 and provides approximately $21,963 annually from the city, totaling $43,926. Also on Tuesday, the council will conduct a public hearing on an ordinance to amend Title 17 of the city’s municipal code, regarding provisions to temporary events. Under the proposed amendment, temporary events in Tile 17 will be moved to Title 9 and organizers will be required to obtain a permit to ensure the basic health, safety and community welfare standards are met. Title 12 amendments will be conformed to reflect recent state law, according to city officials. In other business, the council will hold a Proposition 218 protest hearing, which will include the presentation of the annual solid waste rate increase and allow for the community

to present written protests for consideration. In May 2020, the council approved a 4.25% rate increase for MarBorg, which became effective on July 1, 2020. Also during Tuesday’s meeting, the council will consider approving $93,500 in grants to 29 applicants, as well as consider approving the grant funding review committee’s fiscal year 2021-22 funding recommendations under the “Support Other Agencies” program. The committee is recommending that the existing agreements be extended for one-year at the current funding levels. The draft budget includes a total allocation of $360,000 for the government/interagency and city facilities/recreation categories. Organizations served include: COAST, $7,000; Goleta Union School District, $20,000; Santa Barbara Unified School District, $13,000; Foundation for Girsh Park, $125,000; Goleta Valley Community Center, $25,000; Goleta Valley Historical Society, $91,000; South Coast Railroad Museum, $34,000; and Center for Urban Agriculture at Fairview Gardens, $45,000.

In addition to the 10 winners, WEV also presented entrepreneur activist and 92-year-old Lupe Anguiano with the 2021 Rock Star: Life Achievement Award. District elections workshop planned GOLETA — The city of Goleta is hosting three public workshops this summer as it begins the process of transitioning to district elections for its City Council beginning in November 2022. The events are aimed at providing members of the community a chance to learn about, provide input and participate in the process. Spanish interpretation will be available, according to city officials. The first workshop is scheduled for 6 p.m. June 7. To register, visit https://tinyurl.com/ 9zdtmkdh, and use Webinar ID 972 1928 6351. With the implementation of district elections, the city will be divided into four districts, and voters in each will elect a council member who lives within the district. The mayor will continue to be elected by voters across Goleta. Two in-person workshops are also planned, the first scheduled for 11 a.m. June 16 at the Goleta Union School District boardroom, at 401 N. Fairview Ave. The third workshop, and second in-person

directly related to the COVID-19 public health emergency and its effect on the community, according to a board letter from the County Executive Office. Funding for this category in the fiscal year 2021-2022 budget has not yet been directed by the Board of Supervisors, and the CEO is still working on a recovery plan. “Staff is developing a Recovery Plan of eligible services and expenditures to ensure the County of Santa Barbara can recover in a way that is sustainable, resilient, inclusive, and equitable, by addressing a variety of individual and community health impacts of COVID19, including physical, psycho-social, socioeconomic and institutional/structural effects,” the CEO wrote in a board letter. After the restricted funding is factored out, the county is left with about $18 million in discretionary funds, which can be used to replace general revenues lost during the pandemic. This money has not yet been allocated for certain purposes, and the Board of Supervisors will be discussing both the discretionary and restricted funds during Tuesday’s meeting. The CEO has compiled a list of possible uses for the funds. For potential uses of the restricted ARPA funds, the CEO is proposing the money be used to respond to the economic impacts of COVID-19 by covering public health expenses, expand behavioral health services, implement interim and long-term solutions for housing and improve access to county services for underserved communities, among other possibilities. Staff are also recommending that the restricted funding be used to purchase and renovate an existing facility in Isla Vista and transform it into a homeless shelter. According to the CEO’s office, this would cost about $7 million and could be sustained by federal funding in the future. The CEO is also pitching a range of potential projects that can be fulfilled using the remaining $18 million in discretionary funding from ARPA. The list includes using the funds to prioritize one-time capital and maintenance projects that need to be

The jail’s population was 646 as of May 13, including 601 men and 45 women. Even before the pandemic struck, the county jail’s population was swiftly declining. According to data from the Sheriff’s Office, the population peaked at an average of 1,073 in 2016 down to an average of 903 in 2019.

COVID-19 guidelines will be implemented during the in-person events, officials said. “Making the move to District Elections is a big transition for the City. We have been working with our Public Engagement Commission to develop a process to educate and involve Goleta residents shaping the future of our elections,” Kristy Schmidt, assistant city manager, said in a statement. “Our hope is that community members will attend at least one of the three workshops we have scheduled.” The city is seeking input as to what communities of interest might exist within the city. A community of interest is a group of

people with common interests who live close together, and would benefit from being kept together in a single district. Those who know of a community of interest can email Goleta City Clerk Deborah Lopez, at dlopez@cityofgoleta. org. For more information, contact cityclerkgroup@cityofgoleta.org or call 805961-7505. The Goleta Water District will also discuss district-based elections during its meeting on Tuesday. The board will consider outreach for the transition, as well as a social media toolkit.

In addition to deliberations about the allocation of ARPA funds, the Board of Supervisors will hear an update from the County Sheriff’s Office on the jail’s inmate population and management. Supervisors considered two special issues, “Jail Population, Diversion and Collaborative Justice” and “Main Jail Staffing and Facility Assessment Alternatives,” during budget hearings in April. Now, the County’s Sheriff’s Office is returning to provide a follow-up on the current status of the inmate population. According to a board letter from the Sheriff’s Office, the jail’s population was 646 as of May 13, including 601 men and 45 women. Even before the pandemic struck, the county jail’s population was swiftly declining. According to data from the Sheriff’s Office, the population peaked at an average of 1,073 in 2016 down to an average of 903 in 2019.

He wanted the space to serve as a gathering space in general but also a thriving space for the LGBT community. For June, LGBT Pride Month, he decorated the storefront with rainbow colors. “I was very intentional in making sure that people knew that this is an LGBT-owned business, and that this is a space that will not tolerate any kind of discrimination.

owner of The Crafter’s Library — without the pressure of food and drink,” he said. “I want to be able to help people have a fun, safe space for them to meet new people and do something fun and interesting and different.” He can’t wait to see friendships form (hopefully for himself, too, as a Santa Barbara returnee). He got emotional Saturday night, an open-mic event on the store’s opening, talking about his journey. Although he opened his business quickly, it wasn’t without challenges. He initially applied to lease a different storefront but was rejected by the landlord. He

reached out to city officials for help, but found that most assistance came from community members. A woman connected him with the landlord at La Arcada Plaza, who impressed him with her helpfulness and high expectations. He enjoys the location and hopes to turn a small second story into a fabric supply center. As the business grows, he wants to add more machines, like a laser cutter and an embroidery machine. He plans to expand based on member input. Amateur and professional creatives alike can sign up for a

membership for as little as a day, for $25, or as long as a year, for $75 per month. The fee allows them to use any of the machines and a table or spot in the lounge. Those signed up for a year can sell their crafts in the shop’s retail section and receive 10% off supplies and classes. Mr. Rawls teaches classes himself but also brings in local artists to teach skills such as wire wrapping and other creative talents.

The Gold Digger believes that this Art Nouveau style figural lamp is a 1980s recast, valued at around $500.

Art Nouveau style lamp still has value

P. sends me a fabulous Art Nouveau style figural lamp for the table, a nude woman supported by a peacock. The outstretched arm of the woman holds the light fixture; a globe shape, encrusted with jewel like crystals, glows when lit. J.P. is wondering if this is “something.” In the history of lighting design, well, YES, it IS something. Because in the first quarter of the 20th century, the era of Art Nouveau in Europe, for some reason, early lamp makers focused on the idea that seminude nubile young females should be both the subject and the “holders of the light” for the newfangled thing called a “lamp.” Because the Art Nouveau period was a high point for naturalistic, organic (think NON geometrical) lines, and since the period loved the exoticism of the female nude, AND the association with the nude to nature, oftentimes lamp makers included a bronze of the nude with a certain type of shade. For example, a Nautilus shell, or a bronze shade, encased with pinpoints of jewels, such as in J.P.’s lamp. The reasons for this were many: it was a way to celebrate the beauty of the nude in a tasteful, novel way (electric lights were NEW), and it was a way to celebrate that electricity was “illuminating” the ability to showcase the nubile female. Here is a great example. Sold from the bar of the Adams Mark Hotel, a seminude bronze figure into which the electricity was channeled; she (a bronze elegantly draped figure) held TWO lanterns in miniature, which were lighted by bulbs. This served a few

purposes: the bar, which was limited to males, could admire her form, and the bar, which was dark, needed to have light. In the Art Nouveau period, the collision between the modern world of technology and the old world of beautiful sculpture resulted in beautiful, excessive elements of design, and MONEY. Only the very wealthy could afford a lamp, and indeed only the wealthy could afford electricity in their homes or businesses. I find it amusing that the people who COULD have such lighting preferred to use the semi naked female form as the “lamp base!” J.P. asks if her lamp is original to the period, and I do not think it is “period” (1900-1925) Art Nouveau, but a later copy from the 1980s when for some reason we had a resurgence of Art Nouveau in the U.S. Her lamp is “after” the design by Maurice Wolfer (Belgian 1886-1976); and when we say “after,” we mean that someone got ahold of the mold or a lamp from 1910 by Wolfer, and made a plaster cast, then had it cast in bronze to sell on 1980s market … and yes, because there was so few copyright issues from that period, it was DONE. Some of the most notable lamps of the period were modeled on the great beauties of the age, 1900-1925, such as the actress Loie Fuller (1901) inspired by the lamp maker and sculpture Larch. Fuller is recreating a famous stage roll, of course seminude, and holding a globe which is lighted in this small table lamp, and such a thing can sell for $4,000. Another highly valued lamp is a famous beauty of the age holding aloft a nautilus shell, and that shell is the shade, and this will sell for $4,000. One of the most interesting

techniques of the era was to make the light bulb itself part of the erotica. So, in some cases, the seminude is holding a light bulb encased in a shell or encased in a globe in her hand, but perhaps the most inventive of all the techniques was to have the light “glow up” inside her skirts (I mean, not HER skirts, but the bronze of the nude’s skirts) showing both her form, her legs, et al, and allowing the peep show to also be an actual LAMP. Such a one is a lamp done in 1910 by the lamp maker and sculptor Laport-Blairsy, where a wonderfully semi clothed actress, who is playing a classical role (draped in Grecian flowing robes) is caught in the act of spinning on the stage, the Grecian robes swirl outward. Thus, this outward arch of her robes is the PERFECT shade for the 1910 light bulb! And thus, it WAS. A lamp like this will also sell for $4,000-5,000. J.P.’s lamp, because it is a 1980’s recast, is STILL valuable, but at $500, a far cry from the original in 1910 at $4,000.

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.

When choosing the winners, SBCEO looks for dedication, instructional and motivational skills, the ability to challenge and inspire students and meaningful engagement. “We are proud to shine the spotlight on teachers, administrators and support staff by sponsoring the Crystal Apple program in partnership with SBCEO,” said Roy McLaughlin, CEO of the Santa Barbara Teachers Federal Credit Union. “These Santa Barbara County education staff provide children with an outstanding educational experience.” Emily Schwab, a speech-language pathologist at Monroe Elementary School in Santa Barbara, won in the certificated support providers category. “Not only is Emily charismatic, fun, and great with the kids, but she is exceptional at her job. Specializing in augmentative and alternative communication, Emily uses a variety of high- and low-tech devices to help non-verbal students find their voice,” said special education teacher Sally DeLyser, one of her nominators. “Saying that she is a pleasure to work with would be an immense understatement. She is changing lives daily and doing it all with a smile on her face.” Rosy Bucio, a behavior specialist at the Santa Ynez Valley Consortium in Buellton, also won a Crystal Apple as a certificated support provider.

Her colleague Misty Sedehi said, “Rosy is quite honestly the ‘best in the West’ when it comes to supporting students with difficult behaviors. Not only is her experience unmatched, but the way she is able to communicate the unique behavior needs of students to an IEP team is extraordinary. “Rosy is extremely relational, she builds strong bonds with the students, parents and staff she works with. She gets the job done and puts 200% of herself into each student she supports.” Mari Callahan, a fourth-grade teacher at Cold Spring School in Montecito, is one of two elementary teacher recipients. “I could write pages about how Mari inspired my son through his reluctant writing phase to become a confident, prolific author. Or how her instruction developed his number sense so that he is a more efficient mathematician than either of his parents,” fellow teacher and parent Dr. Jean Gradias said. “Those academic accomplishments are important, but the value that she places on becoming empathetic, aware, and motivated to help others is what makes her so deserving of this award.” Elizabeth Tymn, a kindergarten and first-grade teacher at Pine Grove School in Santa Maria, was also honored. “Ms. Tymn checks all the boxes of a great educator: engaging, prepared, knowledgeable. But she is far more than a teacher. Parents describe her as a leader, confidant, mediator, nurturer, protector, supporter, and cheerleader,” said parent Ashley Machgan. “She is welcoming to everyone and runs her classroom with an amazing attitude towards kindness and respect for all.” Sherri Bryan, a teacher and librarian at Santa Barbara High School, received a Crystal Apple in the secondary school teacher category. Senior Monse Z. nominated her by saying, “(She) has inspired me to branch out and push myself more than any other adult has. She is an important and well-respected figure on campus; every student has positive things to say about her. She makes the campus a better place with her extensive knowledge in multiple subjects as well as with her

bright personality.” Rebecca Ingrahm, a teacher of career technical education at Maple High School in Lompoc, was also honored. “On days we showed her that we were not interested in learning, she did not give up on us. Instead, she tried new and innovative ways to inspire us,” wrote Samantha C., a student. “See, some of us have never been successful in school. In her classes, we started to feel like we had potential. “I had no desire to succeed before I met this teacher. I started believing in myself and taking life seriously once I started this school and had this teacher. She reminded us that we were smart and had so much potential, but we had to work hard to become the best. She is smart and sets a great example for all of us. Without her, I would not be doing all of the amazing things I am doing.” Carrie Alvarado, office manager at Ellwood Elementary School in Goleta, won as a classified employee. “Carrie is best described as Superwoman! She not only runs the front office of the school like a well-oiled machine, but she is the go-to person for all staff, students, and parents,” Principal Ned Schoenwetter said. “In fact, she is the one that all other school office managers in the school district look to when they have questions or need guidance. We feel very fortunate to be able to work with such a wonderful person.” Paloma Guerrero-Rubio, a paraprofessional at Taylor School in Santa Maria, received her Crystal Apple. “In our program, at the Taylor Preschool Special Day School, we have many students with quite severe and daily behavioral challenges; Paloma works with exemplary true compassion guiding them through the daily routines and always mindful of their safety to themselves and other students. There have been many staff challenges we have faced this year, and I can say that Paloma has been the anchor that has held our program together,” wrote her colleague Cathy Jordan. “The nominee exudes dedication, a strong work ethic, and, most appreciably, her positive attitude

that does not complain, even when there has been much that could be complained about! Her humble dedication to her job duties and patience with our students has left a lasting impression on me, and she has inspired me to be more consistently patient and compassionate with our most challenging students as well. She is a real joy to work alongside, a true model for other paraprofessionals, and I can think of no better candidate to receive this award.” In the administrator category, Dr. Anne Hubbard, superintendent of Hope Elementary School District in Santa Barbara, was honored. “Dr. Anne Hubbard leads our district with an integrity that mirrors how she lives her life. It is impossible to separate the heart and compassion she brings to each,” said Nancy Lorenzen, former principal of Monte Vista School. “Anne does not save her best, most caring self for her family alone; she shares her best, most caring self with everyone in her life. “She knows the stories of most of our students, especially those who are struggling. Anne’s compassion shows no bounds. It emanates from her core and radiates to everyone in her presence. I cannot imagine anyone as deserving as Dr. Anne Hubbard for the Crystal Apple Award.” Dr. John Karbula, the former assistant superintendent of business services at Lompoc Unified School District, enters retirement with a Crystal Apple. “The first thing that comes to mind when working with John is the ‘how can we support you and your students’ phrase. As the assistant superintendent of business services, he meets with his site administrators and district support staff frequently to ensure the focus remains on the student’s needs in the classroom, and funding should be utilized where it hits the most students,” said his former coworker Paul Bommersbach. “Even though he is not in a classroom, student achievement remains the goal, so he continuously reminds us of that when looking at our site budget.”

heart.” The exhibition also includes paintings from her other portfolios: Abstract Art, Realism and Petite Art. “I strive to capture my subject matter with simplicity through shapes, colors, marks, form and composition. I am especially drawn to abstract art with rich colors and creative

arrangements. Pairing down a subject matter to its essence is always a challenge I embrace. Capturing the inner world is as intriguing to me as rendering the physical world,” said Ms. Beccue. “While making art brings me joy and pleasure, my ambition is to create art that conveys beauty, grace, truth and contributes toward an uplifting spirit in viewers.” email: mmcmahon@newspress.com
