A sign points potential renters of the Coronado apartments in Isla Vista to the leasing office. With UCSB opening campus in the fall, student renters will return.

By ANNELISE HANSHAW NEWS-PRESS STAFF WRITER

With California’s eviction moratorium set to expire June 30, the low-inventory rental housing market may stir with an influx of terminated leases. Much like the real estate market, rental listings are few and good properties are snatched up by people looking for a new home. (Afterall, the pandemic’s restrictions have emphasized the importance of one’s living space.) “The demand for rental housing is very very high. Usually, we have 40 or 50 vacant properties to rent, and right now we are down to just nine,” Bob Bartlein, president of property management company Bartlein & Company, Inc., told the News-Press. “Once a property becomes available, it goes immediately.” The average rent in Santa Barbara has risen 4% over the past year, according to RentCafe. Countywide, the median rent has risen almost 10%, based on Apartment List data. Nationally, rent has risen 5.4% over the past year. Apartment List tracked a dip in the median rent nationally in 2020, with the biggest decrease in large cities. Santa Barbara County’s median rent continued its trajectory, with data that doesn’t show a global pandemic’s weight. Whereas rates dipped nationally, Santa Barbara County was consistent. Kenneth Trigueiro, CEO and president of People’s Self-Help Housing, has received more calls for emergency housing during the pandemic. PSHH is a nonprofit housing organization and provides affordable housing and support services for lowincome families and individuals. It

parent households. In Santa Barbara, those earning the city’s median income of $63,070 must spend 32% of their income to pay the median rent for a studio apartment, according to the city’s 2021 rental

housing survey. The recommended percentage is 30%. The pandemic trimmed back the hours of workers in hospitality, retail and other customer-facing positions. Please see rentals on A3

A car drives by a fire danger forecast sign at Santa Barbara County Fire Station 15 on Foothill Road on Sunday. The National Weather Service has issued a Red Flag Warning for dangerous fire weather conditions for the Santa Barbara County mountains and the South Coast as a major heat wave is forecast.

Southern California Edison is considering a public safety power shutoff in south Santa Barbara County as soon as tonight. The shutoff, intended to prevent wildfires, may last multiple days. A community resource center will be set up

at the Independent Living Resource Center, at 423 W Victoria in Santa Barbara, and the Residence Inn, at 6350 Hollister Ave. in Goleta. The center is open from noon to 10 p.m. today and 8 a.m. to 10 p.m. Tuesday. The center will provide customer resiliency kits and personal protective gear. The National Weather Service in Los Angeles issued a red flag warning, indicating extreme fire conditions, for the Santa Barbara County mountains and south coast beginning at 6 p.m. tonight.

The warning lasts through Tuesday night. Hot temperatures, low humidity, unseasonably dry vegetation and sundowner winds create dangerous conditions for the county. NWS forecasts sundowner winds with 40-50 mph gusts tonight and temperatures up to 100 degrees Tuesday. Residents should avoid all activities that could spark a fire, advises NWS. — Annelise Hanshaw

San Marcos High School finished its softball season with a big reason to smile. The Royals were 20-5 this season. “I am extremely proud of the effort and accomplishments of this team,” Coach Jeff Swann told the News-Press in an email. “Their growth as individuals and camaraderie as teammates was the key to our success on the field this season. I will truly miss the chemistry of this team, but with only Allie Fryklund graduating, I am excited for the future.” The Royals persevered despite challenges such as the wind the players faced in Lompoc a few weeks ago. Severe wind blew again Thursday when the Royals lost a semi-final game 1-0 at Ocean View. Swann described the game as a pitchers’ duel and said two San Marcos errors led to the only Ocean View run in the fourth inning. San Marcos’ best opportunity for scoring came in the first inning “when Caitlyn Early singled to center and Allie Fryklund followed with a base hit bunt,” Swann said. “Unfortunately, we were unable to get another hit, and both were left stranded.” But the coach remained impressed with his team. “Captains Izabella Velasquez and Cassandra Perez showed great leadership, with each singling during the game against possibly the best pitching we had seen all year,” Swann said. Swann said Fryklund pitched a tremendous game in her final appearance as a Royal. “She controlled the plate and induced several infield pop ups and fly balls while striking out eight batters and walking none.”

SAN MARCOS TRACK The Santa Marcos High School track and field athletes finished its season over the weekend with a proud coach. The boys 4x400 relay placed fourth at the CIF Division 4 finals with a time of 3:25.04, a personal best for the team, Coach Marilyn Hantgin told the News-Press in an email. “It was a perfect ending to our track season. Members were Jonas Strand, Oscar Ramirez, Justin Hess and Jacob Snodgress. “Boys stepped up and really competed. I’m so proud of them,” she said. Also at CIF, Clara Tracewell placed fifth in the shot put. She threw 33-10.5. Makenzie Fauver was eight in the 100 hurdles at 16.84, and Lucas Chin was eight in the triple jump at 41-11. email: dmason@newspress.com

End of eviction moratorium to be considered

Many property owners disturbed by Tenant Protection Act rentals

Continued from Page A1 Rent became even more difficult for these individuals. “Some of the highest needs have been for rental assistance due to losses of jobs or income resulting from dramatically reduced work hours, as well as utility assistance, food assistance, employment assistance and mental/ physical health needs,” Mr. Trigueiro. “Rent and financial assistance have always been important, but there are higher needs now,” he said. PSHH expanded its learning centers to help its 600 students cope with the demands of online learning. It also partnered with school districts to deliver meals to the kids. The effects will likely linger, Mr. Trigueiro said. “For our residents, it seems some may struggle with childcare over a longer term. In addition, we do have some families whose income had been reduced for months, and I imagine they may have a hard time getting back to normal and growing from there,” he said. Legislators are aware of challenges and have

begun to hypothesize ways to ease tenants’ frustrations. In August, Santa Barbara City councilmembers Meagan Harmon and Kristen Sneddon introduced the Community Stabilization Policy Initiative, which would limit annual rent increases to 2%. In years where the Consumer Price Index decreases, landlords would not be able to raise rent. The idea is far from being signed into law, and the state’s regulations already restrict drastic increases — which perhaps kept Santa Barbara County rent stable throughout the pandemic’s challenges. The California Tenant Protection Act of 2019, or Assembly Bill 1482, impedes rent from climbing above 10% or 5% plus the annual consumer price index, whichever is lower. The consumer price index rose 4% over the past 12 months in California, according to the California Department of Industrial Relations. But many properties are exempt from AB 1482, like properties built within the last 15 years and single-family properties owned by individuals. Landlords must specify in writing if their property is exempt from AB 1482. Property owners are more upset about AB 1482 than the pandemic’s eviction moratorium,

said Mr. Bartlein. The recent laws have made business difficult for landlords, and a few have quit. But many of the property owners that work with Mr. Bartlein have persisted. In December, California lawmakers approved $2.6 billion to be paid in rental assistance. Low-income tenants can apply to get 80% of their debt paid if their landlord agrees to forfeit the remaining 20%. But a survey published late last month by Bay Area Regional Health Inequities Initiative, Housing Now! and Policy Link reveals that tenants are having trouble accessing those funds. The result could be a high number of evictions on July 1, including people who sought the state’s assistance. Gov. Gavin Newsom announced a plan to double the rental and utility assistance program as part of the 2021-2022 budget under review by lawmakers. His proposal includes paying 100% of back rent instead of 80%. The state legislature is expected to vote on the state budget today with alterations and trailer bills in coming weeks. email: ahanshaw@newspress.com

Appleton Partners, a Santa Barbara architectural firm, has established its offices at historical buildings in the 900 block of Chapala Street.

Historic headquarters

The Marc Appleton Library retains many of the adobe’s original elements and is filled with Mr. Appleton’s favorite design, art and travel books collected over a 40-year period.

Architectural firm’s new digs date back to Hollister era By MARILYN MCMAHON NEWS-PRESS STAFF WRITER

uilt by the descendants of Col. William Wells Hollister in 1930, the three buildings at 911 and 919 Chapala St. are now the architectural offices for the new Appleton Partners: Marc Appleton, Ken Mineau and Andrew Scott. “The structures were the headquarters for the powerful and influential Hollister family for years. The progenitor of the family, W.W. Hollister, was Santa Barbara’s wealthiest and most influential citizen from the 1860s to 1880s,” according to a news release from the firm. “A native of Licking, Ohio, he drove a herd of 6,000 sheep overland from Ohio to Califonira in 1852. “W.W. Hollister became a major figure and most respected benefactor in Santa Barbara. He established Santa Barbara City College in 1869, financed the building of Stearns Wharf and opened the Arlington Hotel as well as the Lobero Theatre. The Hollister Estate office building continues to display a wooden sign bearing the family cattle brand WH,” the release noted. In early 2019, the Appleton Partners acquired the historic set of buildings, which have been renovated into three working offices: The Adobe, which is the

former Hollister Estate office building; The Studio, the former Hollister Estate carport, and The Marc Appleton Library, the former James D. Crawford & Associates real estate offices. Many of the original elements in the adobe were retained, including the fireplace and hearth. The Studio is newly renovated for the architects, draftsmen and designers. The library is filled with Mr. Appleton’s favorite design, art and travel books collected over a 40-year period. It will be open for various events and for the architectural community to visit and enjoy. “It is nice to be downtown in the thick of Santa Barbara’s urban core, ensconced in a complex of smaller historic buildings,” Mr. Appleton said. “I never thought our library would wind up taking over what was lately a hair salon, but there it is.” According to Mr. Mineau, the previous owner of 44 years, Mrs. Nancy A. DeLoreto was grateful to receive and accept the first offer to purchase the property from Appleton Partners knowing that the future of the adobe was in good hands. “During escrow, I witnessed Mrs. DeLoreto personally visit the site each night to make sure all was secure because the DeLoreto family had a vested interest in the future history of Santa Barbara. She recognized

After practicing in

the U.S., he designed several projects in Japan and China before becoming manager of the Southeast Asia Office of the Berkus Group Architects and director for Kaplan McLaughlin Diaz Architects in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. Mr. Appleton founded Appleton Partners in 1976 and

is well known as an architect, author, speaker, historian and philanthropist in Southern California. He earned his architecture degree from Yale University and has been a resident of Montecito since 2007. For three years, he worked in Santa Monica with world-famous architect Frank Gehry.

In 2015, he restored “Florestal,” the 1925 Spanish Colonial Revival home in Hope Ranch of his grandparents, Peter Cooper Bryce and Angelica “Girlie” Schuyler Bryce. The restoration took five years. Mr. Scott, who is design Please see APPLETON on B4

Stacy Hendricks has received the spring quarter’s Teacher Recognition Award from the Santa Barbara County Education Office and the Rotary Club of Santa Barbara.

Hendricks receives Teacher Recognition Award By MARILYN MCMAHON NEWS-PRESS STAFF WRITER

Stacy Hendricks has received this spring’s Teacher Recognition Award from the Santa Barbara County Education Office and Rotary Club of Santa Barbara. Ms. Henricks, who received a plaque and $1,000 from the club, is a resource teacher for fifth- and sixth-grade students at Peabody Charter School, where she has taught for five years. She plans to use the funds to implement gamification into her classroom. She will develop incentives for students who make gains in their reading level and create a student store where students can work on money management and their math skills. Ms. Hendricks earned her bachelor’s in business at Linfield College in McMinnville, Ore, and her master’s in teaching at Seattle University. “We celebrate Ms. Hendricks’ dedication and commitment to each of her students at Peabody. Resource teachers like Ms. Hendricks are so skilled at developing creative and meaningful learning experiences for children,” said Dr. Susan Salcido, county superintendent of schools. “Staci Hendricks has navigated

the COVID-19 situation with grace and a can-do attitude. Her tenacity has allowed her to support the needs of both her families and her students throughout the hardships of the pandemic. She has demonstrated her compassion with her students and peers and is always ready to lend a hand in helping them with what they need,” said Armando Uribe, Ms. Hendricks’ supervisor as program facilitator in special education for the Santa Barbara Unified School District. The Rotary Club of Santa Barbara has honored outstanding teachers from South Coast schools each year since 1986. The club awards a secondary, elementary and special education teacher with a certificate and a $1,000 check to spend on classroom needs. “The Rotary Club of Santa Barbara has a long tradition of supporting the youth in our community. Honoring outstanding teachers like Ms. Hendricks is one way we do that,” said Dean Axelrod, teacher recognition coordinator for the club. “There are so many outstanding teachers here, and the Teacher Recognition Award program is our way of showing how grateful we are for their work.” email: mmcmahon@newspress. com

E. writes that she found these lamps at her favorite thrift store, Destined for Grace, in Santa Barbara about four years ago. The tag on them read: “From a Hindu Temple.” She wants to know what they are. She writes they are carved stone and that she had to hire a trainer from her local gym to carry them from the store and into her car, then into her house. They weigh about 250 pounds each. You can see in the photo that they have been drilled for a central post and electrified. (This is a common theme in early lighting: taking something fabulous and making it into a lamp, because electricity in the beginning of the 20th century was rare, and lighting fixtures reflect that wonderment.) What these lamps are is fabulous. Researching the form, I learned that the attribution to a temple may be correct because of their form. They are square, and you see they have rounded, almost oval designs at the top, consisting of stylized lotus leaves and a central small lotus bulb in the canted corners. The lotus form gave me a clue. Temples were built where lotus and other flowers bloomed. And since we are talking lotus, temples were built where water is featured and where water birds and their sounds thrive. If water is not naturally available in the building of a sacred structure, the architect of a temple may include a pond for lotus and flowers — and of course birds, creatures of the sky, to the left of the structure. Let me address the form. This is a pair of columns made into stone lamps that are shaped in a square. The square is an element of “divine geometry,” which means that the shape we call square has echoes in the Hindu philosophy of what it means to be human and live a good life. The four elements of a good life, echoed in that square (and echoed in Hindu architecture),

The tag on these lamps said they were from a Hindu temple. Columnist Elizabeth Stewart said their square form is significant because it can represent the four cardinal elements and four directions people face as human beings.

are Artha (prosperity), Kama (desire), Dharma (ethics) and Moksha (self-knowledge.) When a knowledgeable architect designs a square column and his stonemason cuts it this way, we see the tangible reflection of the four elements. How did these theories in stone carving come to be? The principles go back to before the 4th century, called the Gupta dynasty; by the 7th century, Hindu scholars were writing texts about how to design and build. The square has a meaning to those who understand the containment of fire. The fire pit is a square, sacred to the fire altar of Agni. So you see the resonance of “square,” and rock, and of course water, the opposite element of fire. Furthermore, the square has great significance because it can represent the four cardinal elements and four directions we face as human beings. I learned that the square, because it is abstract, is divine perfection, but the circle is accessible and earthly, as we see it

in nature in the sun, the moon, and the arch of the rainbow. Why I love these lamps is that they enlighten! (Literally ....)They speak about the divine symmetry of the circle and the square, but they also echo the belief in Hindu thought that all things are one, connected. So, the square form, the lotus design, the water, and the rock, are here personified. This is the key to the phase to “circle the square.” To make a piece of rock LIVE as a natural form is exceedingly difficult, and there is no way of telling how old J.E.’s lamp bases are, but I can say that the stone had also a feminine touch, as I understand that women were employed to polish the square stone, and sometimes make them glow like mirrors. Rock cut architectural features and all rock cut architecture like this is amazing. If these were ever part of such an historic structure, I will cry that they are not still a part. Rock cut architecture is based on the premise that caves are sacred. As early as the 8th century, architects in India were excavating volcanic basaltic cliff rock into caves, doing what Michelangelo did eight centuries later and taking away what was not necessary. These incredible craftsmen created massive temples (such as the largest, Ellora) and cut away the cave until it resembled a masonry or wooden place of worship. I can only speculate on these monumental lamps, J.E. but the story of their heritage is fascinating. Let’s put a value of $800 each for starters.

Hillside honors its longest resident By DAVE MASON NEWS-PRESS MANAGING EDITOR

Hillside, the Santa Barbara residential community for adults living with intellectual and developmental disabilities, recently celebrated the birthday of its longest resident. Barbara, who turned 77 years old, is known for her warm smile and other endearing qualities. She’s lived at Hillside since 1953. In fact, she’s been with Hillside since the time the facility was on North Ontare Road in Santa Barbara. She made the move in 1955 when Hillside’s facility was built on its existing site, Veronica Springs Road. Ashley Lucero, Hillside’s skills development specialist, described Barbara as having a big heart and a lot of enthusiasm. Barbara is known to be eager to advocate for those in need who may not be able to communicate for themselves. She enjoys attending the Hillside Women’s Group, where she helps to teach the class. Ms. Lucero admires Barbara’s selflessness in a world that is sometimes unkind. “Luckily, Barbara has done a meticulous job restoring hope for both residents and staff members at Hillside,” Ms. Lucero said in a news release. “Happy 77th birthday to you, Barbara, from your Hillside family!” For more information about Hillside, visit hillsidesb.org or contact Michael PaddenRubin, director of development, at 805-687-0788, ext. 115, or mpaddenrubin@hillsidesb.org.

Thought for Today

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.

Donors have broken the record in aid given to hundreds of students through the Allan Hancock College Foundation Scholarship program. This year, 358 students will receive 465 scholarships totaling more than $561,000, according to a news release. In lieu of the foundation’s annual scholarship banquet, recipients used Zoom to meet and thank their donors in a safe and socially distanced format. And this year, Hancock graduate Rafael Valdovinos received the prestigious Marian Hancock Scholarship. Named in honor of the late wife of Captain G. Allan Hancock, the $10,000 scholarship is awarded to one outstanding student each year who exemplifies service to the Santa Maria-based college, scholastic achievement and personal conduct. Mr. Valdovinos is the 56th student to win the Marian Hancock Scholarship since 1967. Mr. Valdovinos, a firstgeneration college student, graduated from Hancock with a psychology degree and plans to transfer to Brandman University in the fall. He hopes to earn a master’s degree in social work and pursue a career in helping people struggling with addiction, incarceration and mental health issues. A fulltime Hancock student, Mr. Valdovinos also volunteered at the Los Prietos Boys Camp, became a member of the college’s Beyond Incarceration Greater Education Club and worked as a tutor for the Beyond Barriers Re-Entry grant program.
