Lasorda pitched several baseball saves for Santa Barbara By MARK PATTON NEWS-PRESS SENIOR WRITER

Tommy Lasorda liked to needle former Los Angeles Dodger scout Bill Geivett about his bias for baseball players from his alma mater of UCSB. “Geivett,” he once told the Gaucho Hall of Famer, “you love Santa Barbara so much, you’d like anybody even if they just drove down the 101 through Santa Barbara.” But that was also true of Lasorda, the former Dodgers manager who passed away late Thursday night at age 93. He appeared at fund-raisers to build UCSB’s Caesar Uyesaka Stadium and returned

16 years after its 1994 completion to help upgrade the facility. “I’ve done a lot of this because the baseball coaches need the help,” Lasorda said during his last UCSB appearance in 2010. “My wife says to me, ‘Don’ t you ever say no?’ and I said, ‘Yeah, a lot of times.’ So she says ‘When?’ “And I said, ‘When they ask me if I had enough to eat.’” Former UCSB coach Al Ferrer reminisced on Friday with several of the Gauchos who served as waiters for the first “A Night With Tommy” in 1992. “He’d go up to one of them and say, ‘This pasta is really good … Think you can get me a little more?’” Ferrer said. “Then

a little later, he’d call over a different player and ask him the same thing.” He earned his meal, however, by remaining long after his speech to take photographs with everyone who had attended. “He had to go back to L.A. to catch a flight to Detroit — he was supposed to speak at some engagement for General Motors for a fee of something like $50,000,” Ferrer recalled. “But he still stuck around late to take those photos even though he spoke to us for free.” Lasorda filled his plate during the 71 years he spent with the Dodgers as a player, scout, coach, manager and frontoffice executive. He led them to World

Series titles in both 1981 and 1988, as well as to four National League pennants and eight division titles during his tenure as manager from 1977 to 1996. He was elected to baseball’s Hall of Fame a year after his retirement and then returned to the dugout in 2000 to coach the U.S. National Team to the gold medal at the Olympic Games in Sydney. Geivett, who would leave the Dodgers to become the general manager of the Colorado Rockies, said Lasorda’s passion was legendary. He recalled how they once interviewed “this kid” who was in search of a job when he came to Major League Baseball’s Winter Meetings of 1999. He Lasorda remained quiet while he

asked the kid questions. “But when I’m done,” Geivett said, “Tommy just starts screaming at the kid, going, ‘I can just tell that you’re not tough enough! That you can’t handle the long hours, and you can’t pay the price you need to pay to work in baseball!’ “The kid then stands up and says, ‘Hey Tommy, you’re wrong — I am tough enough, and I will be in baseball.’ The kid leaves, and Tommy and I agree that, yeah, he’s tough enough to make it.” The kid wound up working for the Rockies.

COVID-19 vaccines for essential workers County describes phases of distribution By GRAYCE MCCORMICK NEWS-PRESS STAFF WRITER

As Santa Barbara residents follow the most recent stay-at-home order, some locals don’t have a home at which they can stay. To prevent further spread of the growing number of COVID-19 cases, CDC and state guidance advises cities against breaking up encampments or encouraging movement. In November, the city put up “No camping” signs near the waterfront to reduce the amount of encampments in public places. While the effort proved to be effective, the city is not planning to put up any more signs. City Environmental Services Manager René Eyerly told the News-Press that Santa Barbara is allowing those experiencing homelessness to hang tight in their encampments for a few reasons. “We’d like to get through the new stay-athome order and wait until we have a better idea of how the vaccinations are being rolled out,” she said. “As you can imagine, our shelters are quite full right now, so there’s not a lot of beds available for the campers either.” Homeless and unhoused individuals are set to receive their vaccinations in Phase 1B Tier 2 of the rollout, which is estimated to occur between early February 2021 and mid-March 2021. While Ms. Eyerly said she isn’t sure of the strategy that will be used to vaccinate the unhoused, she said she imagines it will be

coordinated through County Behavioral Wellness. But she said there’s not a whole lot the city is able to do right now because of the CDC guidance and the pandemic. These days, the city monitors and cleans encampments daily, along with helping individuals consider services. “We’ve had a few occasions over the last few months where we have needed to remove

Amid the hectic whirlwind of the COVID-19 pandemic and the vaccine rollout, it can be difficult to keep the phases, tiers and business classifications straight. However, Phase 1 essential workers in Santa Barbara County are rapidly approaching their turn to receive the first dose of the COVID-19 vaccine. Here is the timeline of the rollout and who classifies as an essential worker who will be eligible for a vaccine in Phase 1. First things first. As of Thursday, the Santa Barbara County Public Health Department confirmed that while subject to change, officials’ best estimate of when the vaccination of essential workers will begin is early February, as part of Phase 1B Tier 1. Beginning in December 2020, the county launched into Phase 1A, which has three tiers. Everyone in Phase 1A is scheduled to be vaccinated between December 2020 and February 2021. Tier 1, which is already underway and close to complete, includes staff of acute care hospitals, psych entities, correctional facility hospitals, staff/residents in long-term care settings serving older and high-risk individuals, dialysis center staff and EMS personnel providing EMS services. Tier 2 includes intermediate care facilities, home health/home care workers, community health workers and primary, correctional and urgent care clinics. Finally, Tier 3 includes speciality clinics, lab workers, dental and pharmacy (if not included previously). Dr. Van Do-Reynoso, the county public health director, announced Thursday that Santa Barbara County received permission to distribute the vaccine concurrently to all three tiers in the first phase. “The CDC comes out with broad guidelines … There’s that tiny loophole based upon their epidata,” she said at a Zoom webinar Thursday. “At the local level in Tier 1 Phase 1A, we saw that with the availability of the vaccine, due to hesitancy, we were able to move to 1B, and now we’re given permission to run it concurrently. “If there are continual outbreak situations in a given jurisdiction, the Public Health Department has the ability to move the sector higher up,” she said. “So here, we are considering moving up our homeless shelters, jails, juvenile

halls and personnel. That’s the flexibility we do have as a local jurisdiction.” Phase 1B Tiers 1 and 2 are set to receive the vaccine between early February 2021 and mid-March 2021. Tier 1 includes persons age 75 and older and one of three sectors of essential workers. The first round of essential workers to receive the vaccine will be: food/ grocery and agriculture workers, education and childcare, and emergency services (firefighters, law enforcement, probation officers and corrections). Within the food and agriculture sector includes workers supporting groceries, pharmacies, convenience stores and other retail that sells food or beverage products, animal/ pet food, customer support service, IT support staff for online orders, workers supporting restaurant carry-out and quick serve food operations including food preparation, carry-out and delivery food employees, and pickup/takeout or delivery workers. Also included are food manufacturer employees and their supplier employees, harvesting facilities, slaughter facilities, processing facilities, beverage production facilities and food packaging operations and processing workers. The list also includes farmers, ranch workers, agribusiness support services, cannabis growers, agricultural and commodity inspection, fuel and storage facilities, warehouse workers, workers supporting products for home gardens, workers essential for food assistance programs, employees engaged in transport, production and distribution of chemicals, animal agriculture workers, workers who support forest products and more. The complete list of each classification can be found at https:// covid19.ca.gov/essential-workforce. The education and childcare section includes workers supporting public and private childcare establishments, pre-K establishments, K-12 schools, colleges and universities for purposes of distance learning, provision of school meals, or care, supervision and instruction of minors. In addition, essential workers are also workers and instructors supporting academies and training facilities and courses for the purpose of graduating students and cadets that compose the essential workforce for all identified critical sectors.

COVID-19 cases ‘off the charts’ in recent weeks

Forest Service extends state-wide campsite and picnic area closures

COVID-19 cases in Santa Barbara County continue to surge, setting record highs in recent weeks. During Friday’s press conference, Santa Barbara County Public Health Director Dr. Van Do-Reynoso shared that the 1,983 active cases as of Friday was nearing the most ever in the county.

Kathy Badrak to lead art workshop at Wildling Museum in Solvang By MARILYN MCMAHON NEWS-PRESS STAFF WRITER

S

oon after it was announced that artist Kathy Badrak would lead a virtual art workshop in “Serenity Stone Wrapping” at the Wildling Museum of Art & Nature, the Jan. 24 session was a sellout. “It was somewhat of a surprise since we had never done this before, but I think there is a definite connection between

the topic and the pandemic,” said Ms. Badrak, who plans to repeat the Solvang museum’s session from 1:30 to 3 p.m. Feb. 21 because of the incredible interest. “Rock wrapping is an art form rooted in Japanese tradition. Wrapped stones can be used in Japanese gardens to guide visitors along a prescribed route or the correct spiritual path,” Ms. Badrak told the News-Press by phone from her home in Lompoc.

“Today there are many variations of rock wrapping, using many different materials. For this workshop, attendees will learn two methods of rock wrapping with waxed linen to create their own serenity stones.” The linen is thread that has been waxed, but rope, string and leather can also be used. “I hope that after the workshop, participants will be inspired to use some of these materials to create their

own serenity stones,” said Ms. Badrak. The $25 fee for the workshop includes materials that will be available for pickup two days before the session at the Wildling Museum, 1511-B Mission Drive. A Zoom link will be shared with registrants to join the live course, and a class recording will be made available to participants for one week following the course. All ages are welcome to attend, but the class is probably

not suitable for young children. “I supply all the rocks, which is no problem. I have hundreds of them. My father-in-law was a rockhound,” said Ms. Badrak, a mixed media artist who has been a basket weaver for more than 30 years. She is a member of the Lompoc Valley Art Association, California Gourd Society and the American Gourd Society. Her work has been featured and sold Please see serenity on A4

FYI Registration is now open for the second “Serenity Stone Wrapping Workshop” with Kathy Badrak from 1:30 to 3 p.m. Feb. 21. To register online, visit www. wildlingmuseum.org/ news/serenity-stonewrapping-workshop.

SANTA BARBARA NEWS-PRESS

“A healthy democracy requires a decent society; it requires that we are honorable, generous, tolerant and respectful.� — Charles W. Pickering

ARIES — Unexpected responsibilities could interfere with plans to take a trip of some sort. Someone might need your help, and you may well have to put your own activities on hold for a while. This could be frustrating, Aries. It only delays whatever you’re doing but doesn’t stop it. Take care of whatever you need to do and then continue with your plans. You will feel better if you do. TAURUS — An unexpected development might interfere with your plans to attend a social event, group activity, or get-together with your partner. This isn’t going to sit well with those you’ve been planning to meet, Taurus. It’s going to be frustrating for you, too, but it has to be done. It’s best if you just postpone your plans and take care of business. Your friends will forgive you. GEMINI — Arrangements for a get-together you’re planning to host could go awry, with everything turned upside down and nothing happening the way you planned. This isn’t going to halt your plans, Gemini, but it’s going to require more effort to get things back on track and make it happen. This is going to be exasperating for you, but don’t waste time moaning about it. Get busy and take care of business. CANCER — You might not be able to accomplish what you’d hoped today, Cancer. Some minor but irritating conflicts could occur within a group. You might find this exasperating, as petty squabbles interfere with reaching the group’s objectives. You could be called on to use your intuition and sensitivity to spread oil on troubled waters. Be direct, fair, and clear, and try not to let your irritation show. LEO — A trip through exclusive boutiques or antique shops might have you throwing financial caution to the wind and buying luxury items you hadn’t planned for. This is all right - up to a point. Take care not to buy more than you can use. Don’t go to the opposite extreme and be too miserly either. You’ve worked hard and deserve a treat or two. VIRGO — Unexpected visitors might throw you into a dither. You could panic over how to dress, what to say, and what to serve. Don’t make yourself crazy, Virgo. Follow your heart and go with the flow. Spontaneity is the best policy. Your guests will enjoy yourselves more if you worry less about being the perfect host. Just have fun. +*#!2 +1$)"$LIBRA — Some rather

disconcerting information may come to light today. This could throw you into a daze, as it isn’t anything that you expected. This isn’t necessarily bad news, Libra. In fact, it might be great news, but it may be something you never expected in a million years. Work through the shock and try to view it from all sides. SCORPIO — Even though everything is going well for you, Scorpio, a sudden upset of some kind, probably involving money, could throw you into a momentary panic. You may wonder if your good fortune is going to end as quickly as it began. This probably isn’t the case. The situation is temporary. With a little effort, you should be able to straighten everything out and put yourself back on track. SAGITTARIUS — Upsets regarding your career or the activities that take up most of your time are likely to negatively affect your self-confidence. Don’t fall into this trap, Sagittarius. The forces are beyond your control and the situation doesn’t reflect any shortcomings on your part. You might have to put in some effort to straighten things out and return to normal. It’s a pain, but you’d best do it without delay. CAPRICORN — New scientific or archaeological discoveries could temporarily shake your faith in your spiritual path, Capricorn. You may suddenly doubt something you’ve always accepted. This could propel you to study, primarily to reaffirm your faith. You’re likely to find that your discoveries don’t invalidate your ideas, but actually confirm them. Write down your ideas so you can put things in proper perspective. AQUARIUS — You might not be able to accomplish what you’d hoped today, Aquarius. Some minor but irritating conflicts could occur within a group. You might find this exasperating, as petty squabbles interfere with reaching the group’s objectives. You could be called on to use your intuition and sensitivity to spread oil on troubled waters. Be direct, fair, and clear, and try not to let your irritation show. PISCES — A temporary upset with a partner might distract you so you can’t function as effectively as you normally do. Don’t let your anger get the best of you. The situation is probably due to a lack of communication, and could be cleared up with explanations, understanding, and an agreement as to how similar situations should be handled. By the end of the day, all should be well again.

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.

Newsom submits proposed state budget By MITCHELL WHITE NEWS-PRESS ASSOCIATE EDITOR

Gov. Gavin Newsom submitted his 2021-22 state budget proposal to the Legislature on Friday — a $227.2 billion budget that directs funding for immediate COVID-19 response and relief efforts. The budget also covers “making investments for an equitable, inclusive and broad-based economic recovery,� read a statement from the governor’s office. Included in the proposal is $372 million to speed up administration of vaccines across the state’s 58 counties, while also aiming to bolster the state’s “all-hands-on-deck approach� to vaccine distribution. The proposed budget also includes a $14 billion investment into economic recovery and those in need of relief, including those who have lost their jobs or small businesses or those facing eviction, advancing direct cash support of $600 to millions of Californians through the Golden State Stimulus, and extending new protections and funding to help keep people in their homes and investing in relief grants for small businesses. The budget also includes the highest level of school funding in state history at approximately $90 billion. This includes $2 billion to support and accelerate safe returns to in-person instruction, $4.6 billion to help students bounce back from the impacts of the pandemic and $400 million for school-based mental health services. Also included in the proposed budget is $777.5 million for a California Jobs Initiative, which focuses on job creation and retention, regional development, small businesses and climate innovation. The budget also proposed one-time and ongoing investments totaling $353 million to support state workers, aimed at lifting up demand-driven workforce strategies like apprenticeships and High-Road Training Partnerships, while also advancing collaboration between higher education and workforce partners. “In these darkest moments of the COVID-19 pandemic, this Budget will help Californians with urgent action to address our immediate challenges and build towards our recovery,� Gov. Newsom said in a statement. “As always, our Budget is built on our core California values of inclusion, economic growth and a brighter future for all. “The Budget makes progress towards the goal I set when taking office to harness California’s spirit of innovation and resilience and put the California Dream within reach of more Californians. I look forward to working with the Legislature to enact these critical immediate and longer-term priorities for our state for the 40 million who call the Golden State home.� Other elements of the proposed budget include: $1.75 billion in one-time general funds to purchase additional motels, develop shortterm community mental health facilities and purchase or preserve housing dedicated to seniors; $143 million to support 30 new fire crews, as well as $48 million to continue phasing in Black Hawk helicopters and large air tankers; $17.3 million for earthquake early warning; an additional $1 billion to support a coordinated forest health and fire prevention strategy that maximizes technology and sciencebased approaches to protect state forestlands,

including $39 million for LiDAR remote sensing and research; as well as a $1.5 billion comprehensive strategy to achieve the state’s zero-emission vehicle goals by 2035 and 2045. The budget reflects $34 billion in budget resiliency — budgetary reserves and discretionary surplus — including: $15.6 billion in the Proposition 2 Budget Stabilization Account (Rainy Day Fund) for fiscal emergencies; $3 billion in the Public School System Stabilization Account; an estimated $2.9 billion in the state’s operating reserve; and $450 million in the Safety Net Reserve. The state is operating with a $15 billion surplus. The budget continues progress in paying down the state’s retirement liabilities and reflects $3 billion in additional payments required by Proposition 2 in 2021-22 and nearly $6.5 billion over the next three years. In addition, the improved revenue picture allows the state to delay $2 billion in scheduled program suspensions for one year. Dr. Mark Ghaly, the California Health and Human Services secretary, issued a response to the proposed state budget. He said it makes “bold investments� that will help position the state to begin to recover. Dr. Ghaly added, “The health and human services proposals in the Budget independently help bolster critical safety-net programs that Californians across the state depend on. Taken collectively, these investments have an even broader impact, as they advance the health and well-being, as well as the social and economic mobility, of all Californians. These Budget proposals are the foundation of a Healthy California for All. “We will continue exploring policy solutions that improve the health and well-being of entire communities while driving toward an integrated health and human services system that is accessible, affordable, high-quality and equitable for all,� Dr. Ghaly said. Tony Thurmond, the state superintendent of public instruction, also issued a statement in response to the proposed education budget for the 2021-22 fiscal year. He said its “priorities should not only help our schools emerge safely from the impacts of COVID-19, but should immediately double down on our efforts to level the playing field for a generation of students.� Mr. Thurmond added that until educators, school employees and communities are vaccinated, the proposed budget “addresses main areas of need as public schools consider how to safely resume in-person instruction.� He added that he believes there are still opportunities to solicit input from students, families, educators and partners to explore more ways to offset learning gaps. “Greater investments in mental health also will be critical moving forward to address the severe trauma our students have experienced during this crisis, which we know will have a lasting impact on their ability to learn and succeed through the rest of their lives,� he added. “We look forward to working with the Governor’s Office, the Legislature, and all educational stakeholders on the details of today’s budget proposal and to strengthen investments in ways that position all of California’s six million students to succeed.� For further information on the proposed budget, visit www.ebudget.ca.gov. email: mwhite@newspress.com

Panels of artwork adorn the Vera Cruz House, a distinctive bright green house designed by architect Jeff Shelton. The unique structure blends into the neighborhood in the 500 block of Santa Barbara Street.

Input sought on proposed ordinance SANTA BARBARA — Local organization Safe Technology for Santa Barbara County is urging local residents to submit written public comments on the city’s draft small wireless facilities ordinance by Jan. 15. The organization, formerly 5G Free Santa Barbara, recently launched its new website, www.safetechsbc. org, as well as a fundraising campaign to support the legal review of the draft ordinance. The proposed ordinance would regulate the placement of small wireless facilities, such as cellular installations, in the public rights-of-way. It would also establish “reasonable and comprehensive standards and procedures, including but not limited to aesthetics, construction, operation, modification, and removal, for small cell permitting within the City,” John Doimas, assistant city attorney, said in a recent media release. The additional wireless facilities are designed to deploy the new networks, which include but are not limited to 4G and 5G. Currently, the City of Santa Barbara is operating under 2016 statutes that allow cell tower installations next to homes, without any protection for the residents, sufficient public notification or public comment opportunities, according to SafeTechSBC officials. Ads that announce the roll out of 5G “sell nothing but the upsides of this new generation of wireless technology, but there are serious downsides the industry does not want us to know,” read a news release from SafeTechSBC. The organization was formed in 2019 to educate the community about adverse cumulative effects of invisible wireless radio frequency radiation, as well as to advocate for safe technology. Residents are urged to submit their written public comments to Assistant City Attorney, John Doimas, by no later that Jan. 15. To access the link to the draft ordinance along with instructions on SafeTechSBC talking points, visit https://safetechsbc.org/takeaction/city-of-santa-barbara/. SafeTechSBC has partnered with Inspiratia as its local fiscal sponsor to accept tax-deductible donations at https://safetechsbc.org/donate. — Mitchell White

Application period open for Young Playwrights’ Festival SANTA BARBARA — The Ensemble Theatre Company is now accepting applications for its fourth

annual Young Playwrights’ Festival for aspiring writers aged 13 to 19. The four month-long program provides young writers a safe and nurturing environment in which to learn the craft of playwriting. As part of the process, the participants develop a 10-minute play that is subsequently produced and staged with professional directors and actors for public audiences. The program will accept up to 20 students from Santa Barbara County and there is no cost to participate, according to a news release. “Responsibility to the story is the thing,” ETC Education Director Brian McDonald said in a statement. “And the development of storytellers for the future of the American Theater may be one of the most valuable youth educational programs that Ensemble Theatre Company can offer the Santa Barbara community.” The program will begin online with the hopes of having an in-person presentation on the stage of The New Vic, ETC’s state-of-art venue, in late May 2021. The deadline to apply is Jan. 31. Applications may be found online at https://etcsb.org/education/youngplaywrights-festival. — Mitchell White

This makes rental pricing as low as $16.50 and the VIP package, which offers unlimited viewings, download of the CD and behind-the-scenes footage, to $24.75.

potties and ensure safety. Typically in January, the city does a “Point in time” count, which can tell city staff a lot about the number of people unhoused and dictate the amount of services and resources needed. But due to COVID-19, the city has had to postpone the count for this year, and the new date has not been determined. One of the more recent statistics by SB ACT reported three neighborhoods that needed extra homelessness resources and services, including the waterfront, State Street and the Eastside. According to last fall’s count, there were 300 individuals experiencing homelessness that were located in those neighborhoods. The total number of homeless people in the city was estimated to be 800 at that time. In addition, because of the pandemic, Ms. Eyerly said she wouldn’t be surprised if the number has risen. “Given that we’re in a major economic downturn and there’s been so many people we know who have lost their jobs, it would not surprise me if our numbers have increased and they increase over the next year until we have more economic recovery,” she said. She added, though, that the number of encampments and homeless people may also seem more obvious because of the lack of any other activity in Santa Barbara. “There is a lot of work being done to monitor and work with those experiencing homelessness, given the constraints we have because of the guidelines,” Ms. Eyerly said. “We might not be seeing as much movement as we could because of this pandemic, but there definitely is a large investment and planning going on to be able to comprehensively try to tackle issues of homelessness.” Mayor Cathy Murillo told the News-Press that she can “only ask people to have patience during this difficult time of COVID-19 constraints.” “I know it’s hard for our residents and business owners to see encampments in the railroad corridor or the highway corridor and I have patience for that,” she said. “The pandemic does indeed limit our ability to clear out camps. We do our best in terms of trash cleanup and case management of this population of homeless individuals.” Some residents may have noticed an increase in encampments at De la Guerra Plaza downtown. Mayor Murillo said CityNet outreach workers have made contact with the people in the plaza, and they are, in fact, allowed to access City Hall’s first floor. “At City Hall, we keep the first floor open with a water fountain, a restroom and hand sanitizer. We did not want to lock the doors, not even under a pandemic.

A Santa Barbara Police Department officer speaks with a homeless individual in De la Guerra Plaza.

This is a humane action on our part,” she said. “So we are always monitoring and trying to manage the population of folks who hang around City Hall.” In addition, she said she has heard complaints about the Highway 101 onramp near the Department of Motor Vehicles, at 535 Castillo St., but added that environmental services told her city crews are going there on Monday. On Friday, there were around seven encampments at De la Guerra Plaza. Vanessa, an unhoused individual camping on the plaza, told the News-Press that the police are helpful, but not as quickly as some may need. “Help is kind of slow,” she said. “There’s people waiting. It (the pandemic) is not good for anyone.” Another woman, who asked to not be named, said city leadership and law enforcement leadership have been “awesome in this,” but some of the “less higher-ups” have not been. “Most of the officers are OK,” she said. “It’s just a few that have it in for the homeless, I guess.” She referenced a situation where a man she is camping with, who chose to go by “D,” attempted to use the first floor City Hall facilities and was told he could not by two police officers. However, she said Mayor Murillo told them they could use the floor. Luckily, the unhoused individual has housing solidified — she just has to wait for construction to finish up. “The people who are doing the most wonderful job are most of the business owners,” she said. “It’s really insane because COVID made them understand. They’re right there with us. “For a long time, we were all equal, we were all out of a job and we all needed money.” While the city is unable to provide more services and resources, nonprofits and other organizations have been providing meals to the homeless population.

Denise Rodman, the church business administrator for First Presbyterian Church in Santa Barbara, told the News-Press that the church is supporting the Alameda Park program by providing a meal once a month, and continues to be a partner church for Freedom Warming Center. In addition, the church provides a monthly meal to Transition House, but Ms. Rodman was not sure if the program was able to continue during COVID-19. First Presbyterian Church also remains a Safe Parking location. Santa Barbara City Council member Meagan Harmon’s district, District 6, includes downtown State Street, and many of the areas experiencing high homeless populations. “Addressing homeless issues during the pandemic has been an incredible challenge — first, because close contact with individuals is difficult, and that contact is necessary for effective case management, and second, because the CDC has given COVID guidance that dictates safe procedures for engaging with homeless encampments that limit the actions that can be taken,” she told the News-Press. However, Ms. Harmon mentioned SB ACT dedicating resources, along with meeting with the State Street Regional Action Plan, which works to address vagrancy issues and homelessness in the downtown core. She said that CityNet has been key in aiding and ameliorating homelessness in Santa Barbara, and Project RoomKey has helped high-risk individuals stay safe during COVID-19 in motel rooms. “In my neighborhood, I have noticed an increase in individuals suffering from substance abuse disorder and/ or struggling with mental health, though my experience is purely anecdotal,” Ms. Harmon said. “Still, along with housing, I believe it is vitally important that

we prioritize mental health and drug counseling in our homeless response services.” She said a difficult issue that comes with addressing homelessness during the pandemic is the dueling safety implications in both allowing encampments to remain and removing them. However, she said that the city must prioritize following public health guidance to get control of the pandemic sooner, therefore allowing reopenings and the solving of this issue. Ms. Harmon said she gets reports from State Street business owners “very regularly” regarding the vagrancy issues they see, and she’s also gotten increased feedback on open and visible drug use, “which is incredibly troubling.” “We are increasing our law enforcement presence on State Street and will continue with case management outreach in the area in response,” Ms. Harmon said. Residents can report encampments online, whether they pose a hazard or not, and city staff encourages residents to utilize the tool to help them monitor the homeless population until they can intervene again. Residents can both report encampments and report a homeless individual in need at https://formstack.io/8317F. “Homelessness is one of the greatest challenges of our time, and that so many of our neighbors find themselves without a place to lay their heads represents one of government’s greatest institutional failures,” Ms. Harmon said. “In many ways, this pandemic has caused us to reassess our priorities — homelessness, I believe, will be chief among them. “The need to truly, effectively and finally address homelessness will surely take center stage in the months and years to come.” email: gmccormick@newspress.com

Lasorda reached out to teen injured in Santa Ynez crash LASORDA

relations, spoke about that Lasorda passion on Friday with a Facebook post: “Working for the Dodgers,” Lucas began, “I had the opportunity to laugh, share meals, get yelled at, witness endless enthusiasm, count pitches to rookies after Dodgers spring games, listen to hilarious stories — more than once, but you still crack-up — attend media sessions, office visits, meet celebrities, play hoops at Dodgertown and so many more memories being around one of the baseball and Dodger greats, Tommy Lasorda. “The game and the Dodgers family lost one of the best. Tommy called Dodger Stadium ‘Blue Heaven on Earth.’ Rest In Peace skipper in your eternal Blue home.” Lasorda was, above all, baseball’s ambassador to the world. His first speaking appearance in Santa Barbara came just after his third season as Dodgers’ manager. The Anti-Defamation League of B’nai B’rith had recruited him to honor a fellow ItalianAmerican, local icon George Castagnola. When the ring of a pay phone in the back of the Miramar Hotel interrupted his speech, Lasorda stirred uproarious laughter with his deadpan response: “That’s my wife, trying to find out what I’m up to.” He and his wife, Jo, celebrated their 70th wedding anniversary last April. Ferrer asked for Lasorda’s help nearly 30 years ago when a car accident in Santa Ynez killed teenager Anna Brady and paralyzed her schoolmate, Michael McConnell. Both were close friends of Ferrer’s son, Tyler. McConnell’s worsening despondency prompted Ferrer to call Lasorda, asking if he could send him an autographed photo. “Basically, what he told me was, ‘We’re not sending any stinkin’ photograph. That’s not good enough — give me the young man’s number,’” Ferrer recalled. “After the Gaucho practice the next day, Ty and I went over to see

Mike. “We didn’t get within 10 yards of Mike that suddenly we saw half-a-grin on Mike’s face. That was a significant half-a-grin, because Mike had not smiled the whole previous month. Suddenly, he called out, initiating his first conversation in a month, and said, ‘Guess who called me today? Tommy Lasorda!’” Ferrer learned that the Dodger manager had spent a good deal of time “dragging Mike through their conversation.” “He made him promise that he would do his work, that he would have courage during the tough times, that he would rehabilitate to whatever level he was capable of,” Ferrer said. “And I saw the change.” A year later, Lasorda spoke at the fundraiser for Uyesaka Stadium. McConnell was among those in the audience, wheeled into the auditorium by his parents, Linda and Tom. Brady’s parents were also there. “I hadn’t told Tommy that Mike would be there,” Ferrer said. “When I introduced him, I said, ‘I could talk about his being in the Hall of Fame and winning the World Series, but what I want to do is talk about the person.’ And then I told everybody what he had done for Mike. “Tommy was a little befuddled about where this is going. But then I said, ‘It’s now my pleasure to not only introduce you to Tommy Lasorda, but also Mike McConnell to Tommy Lasorda.’ “Lasorda sees Mike and gets up, pushes me out of the way, goes down the stairs and kneels in front of Mike to give him a hug. There wasn’t a dry eye in the place.” When Lasorda returned to the microphone, he concluded his speech with an emotional address directly to McConnell: “And to you, Mike … I love you. You’re an outstanding young man. And you’re going to make millions of people proud of you because you’re going to amount to something special in this country. And you’re going to do something great. Everybody’s going to be proud of you. Your parents are going to be very, very proud of you because you’ve got all of the qualities you need to be someone special. God bless you,

“To see a Child smile, to hear the innocent laughter of play, to keep a child safe and loved is the future of our great country.” Funeral Mass & graveside services will be held on January 11, 2021 at 11:00 am at Calvary Cemetery, 199 N.

Mike.” McConnell now works for the family business in Santa Maria, “Prince Lionheart,” which manufactures products for young children. Upon learning of Lasorda’s death, he sent a heartfelt text message to Ferrer. “So sorry to hear the news today,” McConnell said. “What you helped facilitate that night helped guide me to a new way of life. Forever grateful for you and Mr. Lasorda. “It was a moment in time I will never forget.” It was one of countless many that Lasorda lived in his 93 years.
