SB County celebrates Fourth The Pierre Claeyssens Veterans Foundation honors service members in Fourth of July celebration By ANNELISE HANSHAW NEWS-PRESS STAFF WRITER

Fourth of July festivities returned to Santa Barbara Sunday as locals and visitors craned their necks skyward to see fireworks bursting over Stearns Wharf. Lompoc held its “4th of July Spectacular” at dusk as well. Food and games accompanied the pyrotechnic display at Ryon Memorial Park. Parades strode through Montecito and Solvang, with some of the region’s snazziest cars on display. But the Pierre Claeyssens Veterans Foundation held a humbling celebration, placing emphasis on those who have served the country. The foundation typically holds a parade but was not able to drive through downtown this year. Instead, it opted to meet at the Santa Barbara Cemetery like its Memorial Day and Veterans Day events — both of which have been delayed during the pandemic. The foundation hasn’t held an in-person event since November 2019. “The other part that we weren’t able to do on May 31 is to honor all those veterans that are buried behind me. So I would like a little bit of thought for that because we couldn’t be here,” John Blankenship, the founding director of the Pierre Claeyssens Veterans Foundation and former Naval lieutenant, said during welcoming remarks. Retired Navy Reserve Captain Charlie Plumb and former resident of Santa Barbara received a standing ovation before and after he spoke. Capt. Plumb spent over 2100 days as a prisoner of war in Hanoi, Vietnam. He attributes his survival to faith. “We survived … because we had faith. Faith in our country, faith in our flag, faith in ourselves, faith in our God. But it wasn’t always easy, that’s for sure, but we kept that patriotism alive,” he said. He told a story about his cellmate Mike Christian, whose mind dwelled on the American Please see FOURTH on A4

colleges and community-based organizations to provide much need pre-release and postrelease services to incarcerated individuals,” Raymond McDonald, the executive director of the Workforce Development Board, said in a statement. “These services will help to rebuild lives and contribute to the community.” In addition to helping incarcerated individuals secure jobs, the grant will allow the Sheriff’s Office to partner with Allan Hancock College and Santa Barbara City College to provide educational and vocational training to individuals in custody. “This grant will enable us to provide comprehensive pre-

and post-release services in the form of educational and job training programs designed to transition justice-involved individuals into productive and contributing members of society,” Rick Rantz, the dean at Allan Hancock College Academic Affairs, said in a statement. “Allan Hancock College has achieved a lot of success in this area through our existing Rising Scholars program, and we look forward to expanding our work at the Santa Barbara County North Branch Jail through this grant.” In a statement, Sheriff Bill Brown said it can be difficult for formerly incarcerated people to successfully re-enter the community after being in custody,

but this grant will help to change that. “This Pathway Home grant will allow us to provide — in partnership with Santa Barbara City and Allan Hancock Community Colleges — education and vocational training to people in county custody and will also provide incentive funding to employers who give justice-involved persons a second chance at employment when they are released from jail,” Sheriff Brown said in a statement. “We look forward to many successful outcomes and stronger and safer communities as a result of this grant.” email: mhirneisen@newspress.com

CASE, Erma Louise Erma Louise Case passed away after a brief illness at Cottage Hospital on November 17, 2020 with her son at her side. Erma was born in Des Moines, Iowa on March 2, 1924. Her parents, James and Jesse Daugherty, along with Erma’s siblings—Joe, James, Arthur, Arlene, and Nedra, relocated to the West Coast during World War II. Erma and her sister, Ned, worked in Burbank, joining the Rosie the Riveter family. Erma met her future husband Aaron Case, a young Santa %DUEDUD 3ROLFH 2IÀFHU LQ 7KH\ ZHUH PDUULHG RQ January 28, 1945, and subsequently had one son, Craig.

One of her fellow members from St. Andrew’s Church mentioned that until the pandemic, Erma always showed up at Church dressed to the nines. Erma was a very loving and devoted wife, having celebrated 66 years of marriage until Aaron’s passing. She loved her family unconditionally, including her son Craig, her daughter-in-law Laura, her two granddaughters, Jennifer and Lindsay (Noah), and her three great-grandchildren Lincoln, Shane, and Jordan.

Colonel Rob Long, United States Space Force Commander of Space Launch Delta 30, speaks during the Independence Day ceremony at Santa Barbara Cemetery on Sunday.

‘Spend a couple of minutes remembering the people that made this possible’ FOURTH

Continued from Page A1 Flag even throughout years of torture. He used bamboo, rags and dust to sew the American Flag into his shirt. When his flag was taken away and he was beaten, Mr. Christian summoned his energy to sew another flag into a new shirt. “We used every opportunity back then to pledge our allegiance, and sometimes it was to a flag that was just an imaginary flag in a rat’s nest over in the corner of that prison,” Capt. Plumb said. He describes pledging allegiance as vital in the prisoners’ survival and eventual success. The 591 prisoners went home to families that expected the worst. Loved ones thought they might have to institutionalize these brave veterans — until they saw them. “So far from 591 men, we have produced a bunch of congressmen, two United States senators, two ambassadors from our number, a vice presidential candidate, a presidential candidate, and they’re telling us today that we, the ex-POWs from Vietnam, are healthier today mentally and physically than the guys who didn’t get shot down,” Capt. Plumb said.

People admire the fireworks in Santa Barbara on Sunday.

The message of faith and redemption read like gospel to a crowd full of veterans. They gave another standing ovation. But Capt. Plumb noted something about the crowd: few young people were present. “It really troubles me that the upcoming generation just doesn’t realize what it took to give us the freedoms that we enjoy,” he told the News-Press. He hopes more young people will eventually serve the country, in whatever way they see fit. “You don’t have to carry a gun; you don’t have to fly an airplane,” he said. “You can serve by being a Boy Scout leader or teaching

a Bible course in your Sunday school.” Col. Rob Long, United States Space Force commander of Space Launch Delta 30, also recognized the pressure on future generations. He quoted former president Ronald Regan, saying “freedom is never more than one generation from extinction.” “Rest assured that today’s sailors, soldiers, airmen, Marines and guardians are committed to protecting and fighting for our freedoms. Serving alongside them, all veterans past and present, is my privilege,” he told the audience.

Capt. Plumb encouraged the crowd to spend time thinking about America’s heritage. “Spend a couple of minutes remembering the people that made this possible, and not just our forefathers, men and women 250 years ago, but the people that make events like this possible,” he told the News-Press. Despite the heavy themes of sacrifice and war, the celebration brought smiles with music from the Gold Coast Pipe Band and the Kim Collins Quartet. Veterans stood when the pipe band played their branch’s tune, and other attendees clapped. Some veterans donned caps or badges from their time in service. “The fact that we have all the patriotic songs, it gives everybody a good feeling of being an American,” Lt. Blankenship told the News-Press. “So everybody that ever wore the uniform should be coming to something like this.” He noted that just 30 people came to the Memorial Day event seven years ago. In 2019, attendance escalated to 1,500 people. The Condor Squadron flew over the crowd four times in North American AT-6 airplanes, aircraft utilized in WWII. The crowd waved at the planes and responded with oohs and ahhs, perhaps with more amazement than at a fireworks display. email: ahanshaw@newspress.com

Her husband, parents, and siblings preceded her in death. She was the last of her generation, and always endeavored to keep in contact with her numerous nieces and nephews. She was widely admired, dearly loved, and will be greatly missed. Due to the pandemic, a memorial service will now be held on July 9, 2021, at 2:00pm at St. Andrew’s Presbyterian Church, 4575 Auhay Drive, Santa Barbara, California.

Through her “The Business of Bees” sculpture, Mussels Shoals artist Chris Provenzano focuses attention on “colony collapse disorder.”

Political artist

Sculptor’s designs relay messages about social issues By MARILYN MCMAHON NEWS-PRESS STAFF WRITER

hris Provenzano considers herself a political artist whose sculptures deal with social issues like the plight of immigrants and bees. “I need to speak to people through my art. Each statue

in ‘The Trabajadores,’ which means ‘The Workers,’ represents a person I have met,” she told the News-Press. “When I was growing up in the San Fernando Valley, our neighbors were a Mexican family, and I spent more time there than at home. “I wanted to have the sculpted workers look dignified and proud.

at them and say, ‘They work very hard.’ I went into the field and took photos of their faces. The statue of the coyote represents coyotes that help the immigrants cross the border.” It took her 18 months to create the life-size sculptures made of limestone and bronze. Through her “The Business of Bees” sculpture, Ms.

Provenzano, who lives in the Mussel Shoals community between Carpinteria and Ventura, focuses attention on “colony collapse disorder. “We’re killing bees with pesticides, loss of habitat, climate change and disease. They are an incredibly important part of our ecosystem and food production,” she said.

Her design of the sculpture, which is 11 feet tall, was awarded a public art commission and is part of Ojai’s Art in Public Places. It is located on Bryant Circle at Ojai Valley Office Park in Ojai. She also has a 20-foot-tall sculpture of an otter at Camp Ocean Pines in Cambria. Prices for her pieces range

from $1,500 to $40,000. “I love nature,” Ms. Provenzano said, adding that growing up in a family of artists “was a powerful driving force to be creative because that’s what the adults did in my world.

Drawing on the clues: Is this a Diego Rivera original?

J. in Santa Barbara showed me a drawing before she framed it. She thought it might be an original when she saw it in Ventura at the Boys and Girls Club Thrift store, and she picked it up for $20. Occasionally it is fun to take a chance. I will explain to you how my mind worked as I looked at the piece, which really did look like a work on paper by Diego Rivera, not signed but dated 22 Aug. 1928. The paper looks like it has been pulled from one of those flip, lengthwise, artists’ sketchbooks. Although it is not high quality artist paper, it is sketchpad paper. One side has the perforations from the binding from which it may have been torn, and the other side has shaped corners, typical of a sketchbook. It appears to be chalk and charcoal on paper. I look for the slightly raised and friction-based “pull” of the charcoal and chalk on paper. It felt a bit raised to my very ginger touch. Furthermore, when I look with a loupe, it does not appear to be pigment laid on paper in a photomechanical process, because I would see the dot matrix pattern of a mechanical process print. When I compare the shape of the date’s letters and the numbers, I see, looking at photos in auction results, that they look like they might be in the hand of Rivera. Of course, this piece lacks the artist’s signature, and that worries me because he usually signed his work. What was the artist doing in 1928? That was a big year for Rivera, as he had just returned from a Communist Party celebration in Moscow and was journeying back through Berlin to Mexico in June 1928. He began working on a mural for the Mexican Ministry of Education, as well as a fresco series at Chapingo. He began

thinking of images to use for a 1930 mural commission called “Visions of the History of Mexico.” So perhaps all these facts would allow us to think that a lowly scene of a mother and son at a bath on a dirt floor might be right for the year 1928; the documentary style of an image of the common folk at the date of 1928 is “right.” If this turns out to be original, the date of 1928 might be auspicious, because that is the year in which Rivera met Freda Kahlo, and that might interest a collector. If it were to be original, why is it not signed? Usually, an artist signs in two or more cases: he may sign a sketch, perhaps given as a gift, or an artist will sign as an indication that a work is finished and complete. Usually Rivera signed his sketches, unless this one never intended for anyone else’s eyes. What’s next? S.J. might need a paper analysis, whicih is difficult to do. It has been glued onto cardboard;. (Did the artist often do this? The answer is yes; we have other images glued down, and sold recently.) S.J. might contact a few auction houses; sending good photos of the work for an estimate. She doesn’t have to sell the piece and won’t have to pay for this, but by the values given, she may have an indication. I looked to see if I can find this image sold at auction since electronic records have been kept, and it has not. I searched all known images of prints, multiple, lithographs, and I do not see this image. What is the likelihood given these facts above that SJ has an original work? One possibility that it may be “right” is the nature of the artist’s life. Rivera worked in at least five countries, he gave sketches away, and he kept many sketchbooks. He worked on many murals, paintings, commissions, and was constantly gathering ideas. He lived a long and prolific life, he

worked in many styles, and he sketched constantly, sometimes in vignettes. The likelihood of finding an original Rivera in a thrift store is perhaps higher than an artist who lived in one place, worked in one style, in one medium, and died early.

This might be a valuable Diego Rivera original. Problem is, the drawing isn’t signed.

What could this be worth if authentic? All comparable sales are signed works, as those are the top level sold at auction, for any artist. However, the comparable sales in this size, with similar theme, on sketch paper, in crayon, chalk, or charcoal sell

for $1,000-$4,000. S.J. may have found a treasure. Dr. Elizabeth Stewart’s “Ask the Gold Digger” column appears Mondays in the News-Press Life section. Written after her father’s

United Way unveils plan United Way of Santa Barbara County has released its 20212023 Strategic Plan. Through this plan, UWSBC renews its decades-long commitment to school readiness and academic achievement, as well as financial empowerment. Additionally, the plan commits UWSBC to a new area: response and recovery during community crises. “UWSBC’s 2021-2023 Strategic Plan was developed at a time of unprecedented challenge and hardship in our community and beyond,” said Cliff Lundberg, UWSBC’s board chair. “The COVID-19 pandemic devastated our local economy and threw thousands of Santa Barbara

County residents into crisis. The health and economic challenges we continue to face today impact low-income residents the hardest, making UWSBC’s existing programs and its leadership in times of crisis more important than ever.” According to a news release, the plan emphasizes UWSBC’s efforts to help children and families and build resilient communities with local programs and partnerships that improve school readiness and academic achievement, financial empowerment, and crisis response and recovery. “With the partnerships developed and lessons learned as a result of our response

efforts during the 2017 Thomas Fire and subsequent debris flow, we were able to more quickly activate our crisis response and recovery partnership network at the start of the COVID-19 pandemic,” said Steve Ortiz, CEO of United Way of Santa Barbara County. “As we continue this work in 2021 and beyond, we know difficult challenges lie ahead; however, we remain optimistic. We have seen what is possible when we unite and work together as a community through the power of partnership.” For more information, go to www.unitedwaysb.org/reports. — Dave Mason

Sansum Diabetes Research Institute earns 4 stars By GRAYCE MCCORMICK NEWS-PRESS STAFF WRITER

Sansum Diabetes Research Institute announced that its strong financial health and commitment to accountability and transparency has earned it a 4-star rating from Charity Navigator, America’s largest independent charity evaluator. The institute also earned the highest level of recognition, the Platinum Seal of Transparency, from GuideStar, a service of Candid. This is the second consecutive time that SDRI has earned this top distinction from both charity evaluators. “Sansum Diabetes Research Institute’s exceptional 4-star rating sets it apart from its peers and demonstrates its trustworthiness to the public,” Michael Thatcher, president and CEO of Charity Navigator said in a news release. “Only a quarter of charities rated by Charity Navigator receive the distinction of our 4-star rating. This adds SDRI to a preeminent group of charities working to

overcome our world’s most pressing challenges. Based on its 4-star rating, people can trust that their donations are going to a financially responsible and ethical charity when they decide to support SDRI.” In accordance with SDRI’s long-held belief in being transparent about their work, SDRI is excited to convey the organization’s results in a userfriendly and highly visual manner, the institute said in a press release. By updating their nonprofit profiles on both GuideStar and Charity Navigator, SDRI can easily continue to share a wealth of up-to-date organizational metrics with their supporters as well as GuideStar and Charity Navigator’s immense online audience, which includes donors, grantmakers, peers and the media. In 2011, Charity Navigator added 17 metrics focused on governance and ethical practices as well as measures of openness to its ratings methodology. These accountability and transparency

metrics, which account for half of a charity’s overall rating, reveal which charities operate in accordance with industry best practices and whether they are open with their donors and stakeholders. “It’s important that our donors trust that we are using their donations wisely to accomplish our mission of improving the lives of people impacted by diabetes through research, education and care,” said Ellen Goodstein, SDRI’s executive director. “Our 4-star Charity Navigator rating and platinum seal of transparency from GuideStar demonstrates to our supporters our good governance and financial accountability and help us better communicate our organization’s exciting initiatives at a global scale.” SDRI’s rating and other information about charitable giving are available on Charity Navigator’s website, www. charitynavigator.org. email: gmccormick@newspress. com

With so many planets in your sign, Cancer, this is your week to shine. It’s an ideal week to start new things or keep an optimistic point of view (new moon in your sign), or speak up or yourself (Mercury moving into your sign).

Leo Relationship drama arrives, thanks to Venus and Saturn making a tense opposition on Tuesday. It may be time to pump the breaks on a new partnership. Over the week, Friday will bring a great time to be alone. The new moon is asking you to recharge, Leo.

Virgo Miscommunications are unavoidable this week, Virgo. Mercury is making a square to Neptune, which could lead to trouble in your partnerships. Try to be present this week and think before you say anything too

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.

‘I thought I would be a painter’ ARTIST

creative energies through painting, sculpture and music, and I believe that is why I followed that path. “My sense of design in painting and sculpture was strongly affected from working as a commercial sculptor making stylized animals for Disneyland and Universal Studios and other amusement parks,” she said. “I was employed by a novelty manufacturer for many years, where I created original clay animals, Halloween props and masks to be reproduced in vinyl or foam-filled latex. These products were mass-produced in the United States and Asia and sold to the public at amusement parks and retail stores.” Ms. Provenzano, who earned her bachelor’s degree in art at UCSB, said she “fell in love” with sculpting in stone and bronze after discovering Art City Studios in Ventura. “Before that, I thought I would be a painter. I do all my work at Art City Studios. It’s like going to a magical place.” Among her professional affiliations are the Santa Barbara Art Association, Santa Barbara Sculptors Guild and San Buenaventura Artists Union. She is also a board member of the California Sculptors Symposium, an educational nonprofit. “Since 2006, I have participated at Camp Ocean Pines in Cambria, teaching stone carving in conjunction with completing a monumental public art sculpture reflecting an underwater marine scene. This piece was a group project involving several Ventura sculptors from Art City and is located at the site,” said Ms. Provenzano. “I’m very happy to have discovered my passion and to have people look at my work and think about relevant social issues.”

Residents sought for Goleta’s panels GOLETA — The city of Goleta is recruiting residents for its commissions and committees. Residents between ages 15 and 21, who enjoy spending time in the city’s parks and open space, are encouraged to apply for the Parks and Recreation youth commissioner position. The commission meets on the first Wednesday of every even month. Three positions, including a youth representative slot, are open on the Public Engagement Commission, which focuses on the public’s involvement with the government. To be considered, you must be a Goleta resident and not employed by the city. For the youth position, you must also be between ages 15 and 21. The commission has six regularly scheduled meetings per year. Currently, the PEC is helping with the mapping process to determine district lines for the city’s first district elections in November 2022. There are also two vacancies on the Library Advisory Commission,

which meets at 6 p.m. on the first Monday of each month. One position would represent the city of Goleta. The other position will be filled by someone suggested by the residents of the unincorporated Goleta Valley and the county Board of Supervisors. The city is also looking for a member to serve on the Santa Barbara County Library Advisory Committee, which advises the Board of Supervisors. And if you’d like to name city parks, facilities, buildings, etc., you can join the City of Goleta Naming Committee. You must live in Goleta to apply.
