Light It Blue

Local hospitals and other venues show support for essential employees By MITCHELL WHITE NEWS-PRESS STAFF WRITER

S

everal of Santa Barbara’s most frequented venues were fully illuminated Thursday night in a show of gratitude to healthcare and essential workers during the coronavirus pandemic. Part of the international Light It Blue campaign, the Santa Barbara Museum of Natural History Sea Center on Stearns Wharf was among the venues that displayed bright blue lights to honor those on the frontline. The city of Santa Barbara collaborated with the Santa Barbara Arts Collaborative, community artists, event productions and several other companies who dedicated time and provided equipment to brighten up the venues. The Sea Center, the Santa Barbara Mission, the Arlington and Lobero theaters, and local Cottage Health hospitals were the first buildings locally to be lit up in blue as part of the campaign, and other venues are expected to join the efforts. The lighting will remain up through the month of May, with the exception of the Sea Center, officials said. While stay-at-home orders remain in place, members of the public are encouraged to admire the buildings from afar and are advised to avoid gathering at the sites to curb the spread of the coronavirus. On Thursday night, several cars drove along the wharf with passengers using their cell phones to capture the illumination. Many oohs and ahhs could be heard, as the lights reflected off the ocean. Luke Swetland, president and CEO of the Santa Barbara Museum of Natural History, said the venue was honored to participate in the recognition. The Sea Center’s location on Stearns Wharf made for an even more spectacular blue glow. “The Sea Center floats magically above our beautiful, blue channel. Bathing it in calming light is a wonderful way to show our community’s love and support for those who are taking care of the most fragile among us,” Mr. Swetland said. With the Lobero Theatre a

massive deceased gray whale washed ashore Friday morning on Santa Claus Beach in Carpinteria. Estimated to be 38 feet long, the whale previously washed ashore a few weeks ago in Ventura and was drawn back to land due to winds and tides, said Lili Hartounian, lead stranding coordinator for Channel Islands Cetacean Research Unit. Removal of the mammal was in progress Friday afternoon. Ms.

staple in Santa Barbara for nearly 150 years, Executive Director David Asbell said the theater was happy to show support for all those who are working to protect the public during the pandemic. Santa Barbara Mayor Cathy Murillo said the campaign was a way to show off community support and join forces. “I’m proud of the collaboration between our community artists and art organizations to honor the hard work and sacrifice of health care professionals and frontline employees,” said Ms. Murillo. “Thank you for providing the community with a lighting display to bring us all together.” The campaign kicked off March 26, when landmark and historic buildings in the United Kingdom were lit blue as a salute to healthcare providers responding to the public health crisis. Hundreds of buildings, bridges and other landmarks have joined the efforts throughout the world. Residents are also invited to get involved from the comfort of their own home, creating anything that is blue and spreads a message of support and positivity. You can share your creation by using the hashtags #LightItBlue and #MakeItBlue, and share on Facebook, Twitter or Instagram. To learn more, visit www. makeitblue.us.

Hartounian told the News-Press that her group had contacted the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration and Vessel Assist in Ventura, who will work to tow the whale away for disposal. “It’s just a matter of time in terms of when they can determine safe removal with the tides,” she said. Ms. Hartounian was contacted about a beached gray whale a few weeks ago. She went to the scene and took photos and a sample of baleen, the series of fringed plates hanging in the whale’s

ome local colleges such as Santa Barbara City College have tackled graduations during COVID19 restrictions with online commencements, but Allan Hancock College is not pursuing this option. Lauren Milbourne, Hancock director of public affairs and communications, said the Santa Maria college has chosen to postpone its commencement ceremony until a currently undecided later date. Though the administration would like to hold a graduation ceremony sometime in August, Ms. Milbourne told the NewsPress that this will only be the case so long as it is determined to be safe. “Our primary concern is safety,” she said. The idea of holding a virtual commencement was ruled out in a Zoom session that the administration held on April 17. During the Zoom meeting, students both involved in student leadership and not were invited to share their thoughts on what should be done about graduation. About 50 students participated in the session and somewhere between 20 and 30 voiced their opinion via phone or email. According to Ms. Milbourne,

there was a virtually unanimous preference for having an inperson commencement even if it’s delayed. “By and large, the students really didn’t want a virtual ceremony. They worked really hard to be here, and they wanted to celebrate in person with their families,” she said. Hancock President Kevin Walthers acknowledged the students’ wishes for an inperson ceremony in a video the college posted on its YouTube channel on May 15. “We heard from the students loud and clear,” he stated. “We want in-person graduation and not a PowerPoint slideshow with our names on it, and we respect that. You’ve worked hard to get where you are, and you should have a proper commencement to send you off into the next phase of your life.” The president added that the current plan is to hold a commencement in August before the college starts classes again in the fall. However, Ms. Milbourne said commencement is also being considered for December if August ends up not working out. Whenever the graduation ends up happening, Allan Hancock College will have around 1,700 students graduate with associates degrees and 1,200 graduate with certificates. email: jgrega@newspress.com

DAVID GRESS PHOTOS

The Southern Coastal Live Oak was introduced to Santa Barbara in the 1940s

T R E E OF T H E MON T H SOUTHERN LIVE OAK

Old Ironsides

Tree thrives in Santa Barbara even during droughts By DAVID GRESS SPECIAL TO NEWS-PRESS

C

onsidering its home territory, it is hard to believe that the Southern Live Oak would survive in Santa

Barbara. Surprisingly, it not only survives, but seems to thrive here — even through our severe droughts. This lovely oak is native to the coastal plains of southern and southeastern North America, ranging from Mexico to Virginia, where the climate is often hot and humid — quite different from our Mediterranean climate. As a tree symbolic of the Deep South, it is often pictured lining either side of wide roads leading to old cotton and tobacco plantations, where its magnificent limbs create an overarching allée draped in Spanish moss. The Southern Live Oak is a medium to large, long-lived (over 400 years!), broadleaf evergreen tree that, in our area, rises to 30 to 40 feet with a spread of 40 to 60 feet. That’s considerably smaller than the massive trees seen in the southeastern U.S. Time will tell how large it might grow and how long it will live in our area, since it was only first planted as a street tree in Santa Barbara in the 1940s. It grows at about the same rate and has a similar overall shape as our native Coast Live Oak.

Consequently, from a distance, one can easily be confused with the other. Upon closer inspection, the foliage of these two species differs significantly, making their separate identification easy. The Southern Live Oak’s darkgreen leaves are ¾ to 1¾ inches wide and 2 to 4½ inches long, are ovate in shape and have smooth edges. They are rather leathery, are glossy on the upper side and are covered with minute gray hairs on the undersides. These leaf characteristics contribute to the tree’s ability to survive our dry periods. While considered “evergreen,” it does drop its old leaves at the same time in the spring that new light-green leaves emerge. By comparison, the Coast Live Oak’s leaves are also leathery and have the same coloration, but they are oval in shape and have sharp spines on the edges. The Southern Live Oak blooms from March through April. It is “monoecious,” which means both male and female flowers occur on each tree. The male flowers develop as yellowishgreen catkins, 2 to 4 inches long, dangling from the ends of small stems. After pollination, nondescript female flowers bear acorns, which are oblong and ½ to 1 inch long with cup-like caps. The thick bark forms in longitudinal furrows and changes, with age, from brown to dark gray. It tolerates a wide range of

soil types, but does best in welldrained, sandy, loam soil. It grows best in full sun, but tolerates partial shade. Once established, it is quite drought- tolerant, though it prefers additional irrigation during the dry season. Remarkably, Southern Live Oak seems to have fewer pest problems than Coastal Live Oak. But, like our native oak, it can still have its foliage stripped by oak moths — and will be subject to oak root fungus (Armillaria mellea), if soil conditions are too wet and drainage is poor. Due to its general resistance to pests, its slow growth rate and its sturdy structure, it is considered a highly desirable and low-maintenance tree for landscaping. Its extensive root system, dense wood and structural strength make it resistant to damage in winds up to hurricane force! For wildlife, this tree provides excellent nesting sites for birds and generously produces copious amounts of acorns to feed all manner of creatures. The Southern Live Oak has had many uses over the history of our country. Native Americans used all parts of the tree; acorns for cooking oil and acorn meal; bark and leaves for traditional medicine; and starchy seedling tubers for food. For early European settlers, its strong wood was the primary lumber used in building ships, including our Navy’s most famous wooden ship, the USS Constitution.

The ship was built in Boston in 1797, is still a commissioned vessel afloat and earned the nickname “Old Ironsides” because enemy cannon fire couldn’t penetrate her oak hull. The botanical name for the Southern Live Oak is Quercus virginiana. The genus name, Quercus, is the Latin word for oak. The specific epithet, virginiana, refers to Virginia, where it is a

native tree. Because of its many outstanding attributes and its beauty year-round, the Southern Live Oak makes an excellent street tree in Santa Barbara, as well as a lovely shade tree for our parks, residential yards and commercial landscapes. Young and mature Southern Live Oaks can be seen in the 2200 block of Santa Barbara Street. Mature trees can be seen in the

1500 and 1600 blocks of Chapala Street, on San Onofre Road and in the 300 block of Cooper Road. Tree of the Month, presented by Santa Barbara Beautiful, increases awareness and appreciation of Santa Barbara’s many outstanding trees. The nonprofit organization partners with the Parks and Recreation Department to fund tree planting along city streets

freaks out, scolds the kids and makes them put their clothes on. First of all, they are OUR children and WE are raising them. Second, if my husband didn’t want them swimming or running around the house naked, then the kids should have been told before their grandparents arrived. I would understand that if the kids were older, it might be inappropriate, but they are still so young. Am I too laid-back, or are my in-laws too uptight and we should just let the kids be kids and have fun? — Unashamed in Florida Dear Unashamed: You are not too laid-back, and your in-laws may not be too uptight. The difference in your attitudes regarding nudity may be a result of the generation gap. I do think it’s hypocritical of your husband to reprimand the children for doing something that’s usually acceptable, because it sends a confusing message. He should explain to the kids that when “company� comes, they will need to cover up so they don’t make the guests uncomfortable.

Tone things down. Allot some quiet time to contemplate your state of mind. LIBRA — This is an excellent day for you, Libra. You’ll find things running smoothly and to your advantage. Watch out for those who want to rain on your parade by bombarding you with data that doesn’t really connect with your mood. Ignore the news, the talk shows, and any information that’s unrelated to your real issues today?how you feel and why. Pay attention to your heart. SCORPIO — You may feel rather lazy and out of touch today, Scorpio. It could be that your emotions have taken a stronger hold on your psyche than your rational way of thinking. Therefore, making decisions might be challenging. In matters of the heart, you could feel a bit more romantic than usual. This day brings a great sentimental mood that’s causing you to empathize with others. SAGITTARIUS — Today is a good day to dream, Sagittarius. Be aware that structured forces may try to convince you that the route you want to take isn’t the most practical. You don’t necessarily have to be practical in order to be successful or prosperous. Use your imagination. Let your creative spirit lead you to the next step. Find true strength in your ability to recognize and understand the needs of others. CAPRICORN — Your emotions are up in the air right now, Capricorn. As soon as your feelings kick in, there may be a more structured force telling you to be reasonable. Both camps are valid, so try not to let one overpower the other. Don’t completely disregard your emotions in favor of a more cerebral way of handling a situation, but don’t let your emotions take control of your actions, either. Balance is the watchword today. AQUARIUS — Your head is filled with passion today, Aquarius, and you may be feeling a bit more sentimental than usual. The difficulty, of course, is that maintaining a safe social distance really limits the appropriate situations for expressing this emotion as fully as you’d prefer. Try to navigate the waters toward a safe place among people who’ll support you. Avoid those who might want to pop your bubble. PISCES — Try not to get weighed down by emotions today, Pisces, but allow them their time in the spotlight. You may discover a strong force at work trying to cover up the truth of what you really feel. This makes it all the more important to express yourself openly and honestly. At the same time, don’t want be so overly dramatic that you just blow things out of proportion.

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.

In theory, your 11 points are enough for a jump to two spades, inviting game, but your king of hearts, trapped in front of the opening bidder, may be worthless. Many experts would jump anyway.

HOROSCOPE

Since 1981 I’ve written a monthly column for the ACBL’s magazine. Many have been “over-my-shoulder� style. You listen in on my thoughts during a deal. Ninety of the best of these appear in “Play Bridge With Me,� my 23rd book, just published. The deals are intermediate level; the focus is on logical thinking. At today’s four spades, I win the first heart in dummy and lead a diamond. I can’t risk losing an early trump finesse; I need a quick pitch for my heart loser. East wins the second diamond and returns a heart, and I win to discard dummy’s last heart on my high diamond. When I finesse in trumps, East wins and exits with a trump.

“One who gains strength by overcoming obstacles possesses the only strength which can overcome adversity.� — Albert Schweitzer

ARIES — It may be difficult to express yourself fully today, Aries. Somehow the words aren’t coming out as clearly as you’d like. Powerful emotions are getting in the way. Even if you’re sheltering in your nice, clean home, you feel as if you’re struggling to find solid footing on such a muddy surface. Don’t limit yourself to one way of doing something. Patience is a key virtue now. Wait until things clear before you proceed. TAURUS — You might need to hold your tongue today, Taurus. People’s feelings are easily hurt during this time of fear and vulnerability, and the slightest criticism could be misinterpreted as a terrible insult. When in doubt, keep your mouth shut. Turn your attention inward and focus on your emotions. Try keeping your mental chatter to a minimum and concentrate on how you feel rather than on what you think. GEMINI — You’ll find yourself much better connected with the people around you, Gemini. Even if you’re dealing with them remotely, your acute psychic ability is pulling in signals loud and clear through the phone and Internet. Use this sixth sense to pick up things that others might miss. Don’t let the day’s busy chatter disrupt your connection with deeper thoughts and ideas. People are more malleable today than usual. CANCER — Be persistent and don’t give up the fight today, Cancer. It might seem as if you aren’t making progress and that decisions are harder to make. You’ll find that other people are just as confused as you, which is chaotic but also a bit comforting. Find a clever way to express what you feel. You can sort the issues out with the help of others as long as you remain in touch with your inner state. LEO — Your current plan of attack may run into some snags today, Leo. This might be caused by an emotional need that you didn’t recognize or ignored earlier. The problem is that your head may say one thing while your gut tells you something else. Consider putting everything on hold while you sort out this inner turmoil. There’s a great deal of compassion in the air. VIRGO — Communication requires a more disciplined approach today, Virgo. Try not to be harsh and limiting with your words or insensitive with the timing of your calls and emails. People respond better to comforting expressions and a sympathetic tone. +*#!2 +1$)"$ Cold facts just aggravate existing wounds when everyone is already worried about global problems.

The Santa Barbara Yoga Center will host an online yoga festival Sunday.

By JORGE MERCADO NEWS-PRESS STAFF WRITER

I

n a time where stress is at an all-time high, taking a breather and focusing on one’s mental health is of the utmost importance. Thanks to the efforts of the Santa Barbara Yoga Center, the challenge of finding a place to relieve one’s mental stress during the pandemic got a little bit easier. On Sunday, the Santa Barbara Yoga Center will host the Santa Barbara Yoga Fest, an online event where people pay a minimum donation of just $25 halfhour yoga sessions all day long. All proceeds will be donated to the Foodbank of Santa Barbara County. “Yoga is so essential. I am probably biased, but I am not a professional in the yoga world and have no interest, but I can say from everybody’s experience who I’ve spoken with only positive things about yoga and health,” Barbara Hirsch, co-owner of the SBYC, told the News-Press over the phone. “And so, what a wonderful time for us to be doing an event like this,” she said. “When physical and mental health are challenged

all over the community as well as good. It’s just great for it to be coming together like this.” Ms. Hirsch said classes will begin as early as 7 a.m. and will run through 8 p.m. The classes will be a variety of different yoga courses and will be running simultaneously. For the schedule, go to www. santabarbarayogacenter.com/sbyoga-fest-2020. Typically, the Santa Barbara Yoga Center hosts an event like this once a year, but Sunday’s festival will be a lot larger. That is because this year, the SBYC will be partnering with eight other yoga studios across Santa Barbara County including: Yoga Soup, Divinitree, Power of Your OM, Santa Barbara Yoga Collective, Evolation Yoga in Carpinteria, The Juicy Life Yoga in Santa Ynez, Hunnyfly Yoga in Lompoc and Yoga 4 Mankind in Orcutt. “We have done food bank benefits in the past, but just our yoga studio, and Jivana (Barbara, a yoga teacher at SBYC) said we should do one again this year. Well, as we talked about it, we realized it would be wonderful to get all the other studios to get other studios involved, and so I

emailed and called people and everybody was just so excited about it,” Ms. Hirsch said. “It’s just such a wonderful thing to actually have all the studios collaborating on something together and especially something as wonderful as the Foodbank.” As she was going along in the process of trying to get yoga studios involved, Ms. Hirsch said it was particularly important for her to get yoga centers from North County into this festival as well. “I wouldn’t have wanted to just have yoga studios in Santa Barbara. Even though there are lots of food being distributed here, places like Santa Maria and Lompoc certainly need at least as much as us, if not more, so, I was able to find yoga studios in both, and I contacted them and was very glad that they were happy to be involved,” Ms. Hirsch said. In fact, one of the studios involved, Yoga 4 Mankind, is right near the Foodbank in Santa Maria. Originally, Ms. Hirsch was shooting to have the festival be on May Day, a holiday usually celebrated on May 1 or the first Monday of May. However, the idea was a bit too ambitious to come together in a

couple of weeks, so she decided to give everyone a little bit more wiggle room and settle on May 17. Funny enough, while the pandemic has kept most people apart, especially due to the current shelter-in-place orders, Ms. Hirsch said an event like this would probably not even be possible in person. “The irony is that we’re able to do this really really wonderful thing because we’re so challenged by having to be home,” she said with a laugh. Overall, Ms. Hirsch is hoping for a successful outing and hopes that the Yoga Fest could raise $2,500 to $5,000 for the Foodbank. Now that the big day is less than 24 hours away, Ms. Hirsch expressed her excitement over the event. “I’m wondering whether I’ll actually be able to take classes,” Ms. Hirsch said with a laugh. “I am so hoping that I can but this is such a special day. This is the most exciting thing I’ve worked on in a long time. I just got totally stoked when we started working out the details and figuring out if it could actually work.” email: jmercado@newspress.com

15 new COVID-19 cases reported in county By JORGE MERCADO NEWS-PRESS STAFF WRITER

A

n additional 15 cases of COVID-19 were announced by Santa Barbara County during a press conference on Friday. With the 15 new cases, there is now a total of 1,402 cases in the county. Of the total cases, 27 people are recovering in a hospital, with 11 in the Intensive Care Unit, while 56 are recovering at home. To date, there have been 506 cases of recovery in the community total. Five of the new cases were at the federal prison complex in Lompoc, meaning that there are now 898 cases in the prison system, 797 of which are still active. According to the Bureau of Prisons, the federal department that operates the Lompoc facilities, there are 915 total cases in the Lompoc facilities. At the Federal Correctional Institute Lompoc, 870 inmates and 14 staff members have tested positive. At the U.S. Penitentiary Lompoc, 15 inmates and 16 staff members have tested positive. To date, 138 inmates have recovered, including 101 in the U.S. Penitentiary, as well as nine staffers. In addition to the numbers, Barney Melekian, the assistant county CEO for public safety, shared an update for the county’s work with the federal prison. In his statement, Mr. Melekian

said there was an incident in which two individuals who had completed their sentences were released from prison. The two individuals did not have a place to go originally and were asymptomatic, but they were taken into isolation and quarantined to serve with a health order. Mr. Melekian then stated that one of the two individuals, with two days remaining in their quarantine period, left for Los Angeles. “Public Health has done outreach to Los Angeles County Public Health and appropriate measures have been taken. Since that time, we have worked diligently with the prison officials on an ongoing basis to develop a protocol for responding more quickly to individuals who may be released from the facility while still testing positive,” Mr. Melekian said. Mr. Melekian also said that it was important to note that the individuals were free to go as they were no longer inmates, and keeping them would have been “illegal and inappropriate.” Also announced Friday, in an effort to safely reopen the local economy within the framework of Gov. Gavin Newsom’s roadmap, Santa Barbara created a localized supplemental guide named the RISE, or Reopening In Safe Environment, guide. “We think this document will be valuable. We intend to adapt it as circumstances change. It’s essentially a living document so as guidance from the governor

comes down, we will potentially reconvene that stakeholder group and work through those issues. But we’re trying to be a partner with local businesses and help them help facilitate the process of reopening when that path becomes available to us,” Santa Barbara County Second District Supervisor Gregg Hart said. The guide was developed by medical and public health experts and supported by feedback from across various sectors to come together. Roughly 350 stakeholders gathered to provide insight into these guidelines. The reopening approach in the guideline is broken down into four stages: 1) Safety & Preparedness, 2) Lower Risk Workplaces, 3) Higher Risk Workplaces and 4) End of Stay-atHome Order. According to a news release, the county public health officer, Dr. Henning Ansorg, is responsible for determining guidelines on how the county will reopen and when restrictions are loosened or tightened, depending on discretion allowed by the governor. On Friday, Dr. Van Do-Reynoso, the Santa Barbara Public Health Department director, said, “We are excited to slowly see our local businesses open,” but cautioned that “this trend will only be able to continue if new cases remain low and hospitalizations remain stable.” Dr. Ansorg will make the final determination on the guidelines that will be presented to the

Santa Barbara County Board of Supervisors on Tuesday. Plans call for them to go into effect once the governor lifts his order. A copy of the RISE guide is available to the public at readysbc.org. Dr. Do-Reynoso also reminded residents to get screened and make an appointment to get tested for the novel coronavirus. “This testing option is available to all community members, and we especially encourage community members around the Lompoc area to make an appointment as the schedule consistently has availability,” Dr. Do-Reynoso said. Cottage Health issued an update to its numbers on Friday, revealing that it is caring for a total of 241 patients across all campuses. • 181 are acute care patients; 292 acute care beds remain available. • In surge planning, capacity is identified for adding 270 acute care beds. • Of the 181 patients, 13 are on ventilators and now 64 remain available. • A total of 5 patients are in isolation with COVID19 symptoms, 4 of which are confirmed COVID-19 positive. • Of the 5 in isolation, 3 are in critical care. Additionally, 1,504 COVID-19 laboratory tests were ordered and collected by Cottage Health, with 25 positive results, 1,452 negative and 27 still pending. email: jmercado@newspress.com

Marine mammals are federally protected whale

Continued from Page A1 whale’s mouth used to strain seawater for food. She was able to determine it was the same whale because the pictures indicated the whale discovered in Carpinteria on Friday had a rack partially missing, she said. The Channel Islands Cetacean Research Unit works collaboratively with the Channel Islands Marine & Wildlife Institute under NOAA. The organizations serve both Santa Barbara and Ventura counties with 155 miles of coastline consisting of 106 beaches and four harbors. The CIMWI website features a guide on its webpage on how to respond when a stranded marine mammal is discovered. Members of the public are advised to not touch, feed, cover,

pour water or otherwise push or drag the mammal into the water or out of the surf zone. People should also refrain from allowing their pets to touch the mammal. Rather, they should observe the animal from a minimum of 50 feet and to take notes on the animal’s physical characteristics and conditions. Those who observe stranded marine mammals should determine its exact location and note any landmarks so the rescue team can easily find the animal, and then call the CIMWI’s Rescue Hotline at 805-567-1505. CIMWI officials remind the public that marine mammals are federally protected under the Marine Mammal Protection Act. Violations can result in a civil penalty up to $11,000, along with criminal penalties up to $100,000 and up to a year of jail time. email: mwhite@newspress.com

Virginia. Ed’s career reflects a fascination for the natural world that became focused on biotechnology for most of his professional years. Early on, he worked with American Cyanamid while living in New York City. An opportunity to develop novel biopesticides moved Ed to San Francisco. Ed spent the majority of his career in the biopharmaceutical industry, contributing to new product development and manufacturing at Genentech (Roche, Inc.) and Amgen Corp. He was proud to have had the opportunity to work at these companies, developing new medicines to benefit numerous lives. Ed met Peggy on December 31, 1999 at a celebration of the millennia, and from that moment on they built an amazing and love-filled life together. After marrying in 2003, they moved to Santa Barbara, CA. Both Ed and Peggy loved living on the coast, sailing and enjoying the ocean as much as possible. Following Ed’s retirement from Amgen in 2015, they lived a life filled with travel and sailing adventures, and treasured time with grandchildren and family. The years together were marvelous beyond words. Ed’s kindness, generosity of spirit, intelligence, irrepressible good humor, and unwavering devotion to his family will live in their hearts forever. We are thankful for the state-of-the-art treatments Ed received through Ridley-Tree Cancer Center, and grateful to Central Coast Hospice for their compassionate care and support. In lieu of flowers, please consider a donation to the Cancer Foundation of Santa Barbara.
