Casey to step down as city administrator Official plans to take a ‘mini-sabbatical’ while he plans his next move By DAVE MASON NEWS-PRESS MANAGING EDITOR
COURTESY PHOTO
“After seven years as the city administrator, it’s time to hand the baton to the next person,” said Santa Barbara City Administrator Paul Casey, who’s stepping down, effective Sept. 10.
Paul Casey announced Friday that he’s stepping down as the Santa Barbara city administrator, effective Sept. 10. The decision comes after an era during which Mr. Casey dealt with everything from droughts to a debris flow to a pandemic. Despite the challenges, Mr. Casey has enjoyed the job, but said he felt now was the time to move on. “It’s a great job. I love this job,”
Mr. Casey told the News-Press Friday. But he added, “It’s a hard job. It’s an all-encompassing job. It’s a stressful job. “After seven years as the city administrator, it’s time to hand the baton to the next person,” said Mr. Casey, who plans to stay in Santa Barbara and take a “minisabbatical” while he figures out his next move. The Santa Barbara City Council is slated to determine the process to choose the next city administrator and plans to appoint an interim city
administrator by Sept. 10. “Most likely, that (the interim city administrator) will be his deputy city administrator, Rebecca Bjork,” Mayor Cathy Murillo told the News-Press Friday. “Then we would launch a nationwide search.” Mayor Murillo noted she asked Mr. Casey to reconsider. But Mr. Casey stood by the decision. “I did not want him to go,” Mayor Murillo said. “He’s doing a great job. He works hard. He’s so good at managing people.
“We work in a stressful environment, but he’s never ruffled. He treats everyone with respect,” she said. Mayor Murillo said Mr. Casey’s decision left an impact on the city staff. “It’s been an emotional day at City Hall. Some of the staff on the second floor were teary eyed today. That’s how much Paul means to us.” In announcing his decision, Mr. Casey said he felt it was an honor and privilege to serve Santa Barbara and that he was proud of accomplishments during his
New ReSource facility opens The facility will expand recycling capabilities and reduce greenhouse gas
tenure. In Friday’s announcement, the city listed Mr. Casey’s accomplishments as including: — Passage of Measure C to address infrastructure problems such as street and road repairs, design of a new police station and rehabilitation of key city facilities such as the Cabrillo Pavilion. — Managing the city’s water resources during a historic drought, which included restarting the city’s desalination plant.

Mama Luma secures international deal By MADISON HIRNEISEN NEWS-PRESS STAFF WRITER
Mama Luma, a local clothing brand founded by two UCSB students, secured a multi-million dollar deal this week with Italian distributor Baby Dream S.R.L., an international company that distributes clothing for some of the world’s top luxury brands. The $3.8 million distribution deal will bring Mama Luma’s line of designer kids clothing to customers in Eastern Europe, the Middle East, North Africa and Italy. The local brand is joining Baby Dream S.R.L.’s luxury line up, which includes brands like Versace, Dolce & Gabbana and Simonetta, for the next three years. Kevin Mahany, the brand’s co-founder, told the News-Press that he and his business partner, Ata Sari, are looking forward to seeing their brand grow internationally as a result of the deal. “One of the biggest parts of this (deal) is brand awareness,” Mr. Mahany told the News-Press. “We’re very centered on how we use this 21st century landscape and ecosystem to create a brand that’s relevant, and we’ve done much of that through Instagram influencer marketing and Facebook advertising,” Mr. Mahany said. “Those have been prime avenues and this (deal), in our minds, is alleviating reliance on that. So here’s an opportunity to be in the top stores and physically in countries all throughout the world.” The business partners, Mr. Mahany and Mr. Sari, created the Mama Luma a few years after meeting one another during their freshman year at UCSB. The pair, both of whom are 26, decided to go into business together in 2017, launching a Please see MAMA LUMA on A6 KENNETH SONG / NEWS-PRESS PHOTOS
The ribbon is cut Friday for the Santa Barbara County ReSource Center at the Tajiguas Landfill.
By MADISON HIRNEISEN NEWS-PRESS STAFF WRITER
Dozens of government officials, county staff and contractors gathered at the site of the Tajiguas Landfill on Friday afternoon to celebrate the opening of the new Santa Barbara County ReSource Center. The new center, located between Goleta and Gaviota, will divert an additional 60% of waste from the landfill, bringing the region to a diversion rate of 85%. In addition, the facility will create enough energy to power 2,000 homes and champion the largest greenhouse gas reduction effort the county has ever seen. “This is a great day for Santa Barbara County,” Leslie Wells, the deputy director of the county’s Public Works Department, said during Friday’s ceremony. “This will serve as a model for other communities and minimize
the impact of our waste on our own environment – an excellent example. It’s an action that communities across the country are going to have to take in order to better use and protect our resources into the future.” The new $130 million facility has two components — a new Materials Recovery Facility and an anaerobic digester. The two components of the new facility will work in tandem. The recovery facility will remove organic trash, including food waste, wet paper and wet cardboard. After the trash is sorted, a truck will take the waste to the anaerobic digester, where the trash will be mixed with water and cow manure and heated to produce biomethane. That biomethane can then be combusted in an engine and converted into two megawatts of renewable energy, according to John Dewey, the owner of Please see RESOURCE on A4

County reports 28 COVID-19 cases By MADISON HIRNEISEN NEWS-PRESS STAFF WRITER
The Santa Barbara County Public Health Department reported 28 cases of COVID-19 on Friday and no new deaths. Officials reported seven new cases in Lompoc and the communities of Mission Hills and Vandenberg Village, six new cases in Santa Barbara and the unincorporated area of Mission Canyon and five new infections in Santa Maria. Two new cases were reported in Orcutt, the unincorporated area of the Goleta Valley and Gaviota and in Isla Vista. Three cases were pending on Friday. As of Friday, the county’s active case rate stood at 163 cases still infectious. As the presence of the Delta variant grows in Santa Barbara County, officials from the Public Health Department promised to remain vigilant in a statement released Friday. “As we now approach the two week period following the 4th of July holiday weekend, we are seeing the expected increase in cases due to extensive traveling and mingling,” Dr. Henning Ansorg, the county’s health officer,
As the presence of the Delta variant grows in Santa Barbara County, officials from the Public Health Department promised to remain vigilant. said in a statement. “It remains critically important that we continue to practice safety guidelines such as staying home if feeling ill, wear a mask in public indoor settings, avoid crowded events and practice good hand hygiene.” The Delta variant has quickly become the prominent variant in the U.S. The Centers for Disease Control has labeled it a “variant of concern” due to its high rate of transmissibility. There have also been a number of “breakthrough” infections associated with the variant, meaning those who have been immunized with a vaccine still have the possibility of contracting the virus, according to the public health department. However, the department said that fully vaccinated
people who are contracting the Delta variant are not suffering from severe illness or facing hospitalization. “We have a method of preventing severe illness and hospitalization from the COVID19 Delta variant which we know is effective, and that is getting vaccinated,” Dr. Van DoReynoso, the county’s public health director, said in a statement. “If you are eligible and have not yet been vaccinated, it is critical to get your first shot as soon as possible.” As of Friday, 60.3% of the county’s eligible 12 and older population was fully vaccinated, and 68.4% of that population had received at least one shot. Of the entire county’s population, 51% of people are fully vaccinated.

Mustang Renewable Power Ventures. “That renewable energy, what that does for us, is it improves our grid resiliency,” Mr. Dewey said Friday. “We all know the importance of resilient, renewable energy, particularly here in the South Coast. That should give us a little bit of a backup when we have those SoCal Edison Power and public safety power shutdown events.” The new facility comes at a time when officials are eyeing ways to mitigate the effects of the climate crisis along the Central Coast. In addition to bringing long-term solutions to solid waste disposal issues in the region, the new facility will produce green, alternative energy and maximize the county’s recycling capability. U.S. Rep. Salud Carbajal, D-Santa Barbara, told the News-Press at Friday’s event that he hopes this new facility will serve as an example to other areas across the state and country of how to create long term solutions that help the environment. “My hope is that this continues to benefit Santa Barbara County residents immensely, as it was envisioned from the get go,” Rep. Carbajal said. “For my part in my role at the federal government,

I plan to take this concept back and highlight this model as a scalable technology that we can use across the country, and look at how we might incentivize and create opportunities and incentives, so more jurisdictions throughout the country can use this to address climate change, divert their solid waste, minimize their impact into our environment, great renewable energy and create jobs.” First District Supervisor Das Williams said Friday that it’s “hard to fathom” the difference this will make for the future of the county. He praised the multi-jurisdictional success of the project and told attendees that this will be the first of many projects the county will take on to mitigate the impacts of climate change. “We’re going to be part of the solution to our environmental problems,” Mr. Williams said. “And I can tell you that the county isn’t done here. We’re going to continue to work on solutions. And I think that it is amazing to be standing here with my city council members, with my fellow supervisors and with the contractors and community partners to make solutions that will improve our environment and make another generation be able to live on this planet.”

“Paul helped to get us through that crisis, helped to get us through many crises, the drought, the wildfires, the (Montecito) debris flow,” she said. “Some people don’t realize Coast Village Road is in the city’s jurisdiction,” Mayor Murillo continued. “The Montecito Water District and the Montecito Sanitary District had very few staff. When the debris flow hit, we sent our city workers to help them with their infrastructure problems.” Mr. Casey said he feels Santa Barbara is doing well in its economic recovery after the state’s reopening. “You can see the hotels and visitors side of the economy is coming back extremely strong. … But I don’t want to sugar coat how hard it was. “Retail is still a struggle,” he said. “There has been a decade-long pressure on retail from online sales, a whole upheaval of the industry nationwide.” Mr. Casey said homelessness remains a big challenge, not just in Santa Barbara but throughout the state. He said the City Council is putting “a real effort” into helping fire-prone areas by moving homeless individuals from encampments into the Rose Garden Inn on upper State Street. “By no means do I think it’s the ultimate solution to the homeless crisis,” Mr. Casey said. He explained the problem will require help from the state and federal governments. On law enforcement, Mr. Casey praised Interim Police Chief Bernard Melekian for “doing an outstanding job.” “I couldn’t be more proud of our police,” he said.
Mr. Casey said he felt the Santa Barbara Police Department is well-funded but faces the challenge of recruiting new officers. “Not as many people want to be police officers today as they did 10 years ago.” He also praised the Public Works Department and noted Measure C has made a difference. “The streets and roads are in better shape today than they were five years ago.” On water issues, he said restarting the Charles E. Meyer Desalination Plant proved to be a crucial decision in light of “what’s going to be a severe drought.” He noted the importance of a diversity of water sources, which includes Lake Cachuma, groundwater and the Gibraltar Reservoir on the Santa Ynez River. Mr. Casey was working as the assistant to the Santa Monica planning director when he moved to Santa Barbara in 1997. “It was a family decision to move to a slightly smaller place. I had sisters who were already up there,” Mr. Casey said. When Mr. Casey arrived in Santa Barbara, he started his 24-year career with the city government. His first job was assistant to Community Development Director Dave Davis. The father of three daughters (ages 17, 24 and 26), Mr. Casey told the News-Press his advice for his successor. “Take care of this jewel of the community and keep it moving forward. We have tremendous men and women of Santa Barbara who care about the services they provide.” email: dmason@newspress.com

Official ‘helped to get us through many crises’ — Responding to the COVID-19 pandemic, which included maintaining critical services, addressing fiscal ramifications, assisting the local economy and community psyche, and creating the State Street Promenade. Mr. Casey discussed those areas, as well as law enforcement and homelessness issues, during the News-Press interview. He said he felt everyone on the city staff did the best they could, with the information they had at the moment, in responding to the pandemic. “The State Street Promenade was tremendously successful,” Mr. Casey said. “I think this was a shot in the arm for the business community.” Mayor Murillo praised Mr. Casey for his work during COVID-19. “His most recent notable accomplishment is getting the city through the pandemic crisis. All of the meetings went online. We had to make everything accessible to the public. Paul and the technical staff worked really hard on that. “Separate from that, the economy took a hit from the pandemic, which affected our business and affected the revenue coming into the city,” Mayor Murillo said. “Luckily, under Paul’s leadership, we had saved money in our reserve account. We were able to use that money to make up for the revenue not coming in.

clothing brand that sells handmade designs created by Mr. Sari’s mother, Mahinur Sari, who lives in Turkey. Since launching the business, the Mama Luma brand has expanded both its online and international presence. In addition to a website and social media platform, the brand currently has franchises in Azerbaijan, Panama and the United Arab Emirates. The brand also had a storefront in Paseo Nuevo for a time, but the partners were forced to close the space during the COVID-19 pandemic. The brand’s continued growth and prominence worldwide comes at a time when the Turkish economy remains in a state of despair, Mr. Mahney said. For Ms. Sari, the brand’s head designer, having business growth during a tough economic time brings about a lot of gratitude, Mr. Mahaney said. “It ended up so serendipitous because as (Turkey’s) economy was tanking, the business has just been growing,” Mr. Mahany said. “I think for (Ms. Sari), there’s a level of gratitude, appreciation and a little bit of ‘hey my designs are holding up in the largest ecosystem.” While the business partners are hopeful for continued growth worldwide, Mr. Mahaney said the pair is looking for more ways to keep the local community engaged with their business. “We really appreciate this community and want what we built to not just be our baby, but Santa Barbara’s baby as well,” Mr. Mahaney said.

Renaissance Antiques ‘It’s not a museum,’ say longtime owners Julie and Ron Palladino
This French art nouveau sideboard is among the treasures at Renaissance Antiques.

Julie and Ron Palladino, who own Renaissance Antiques, said their business has several advantages over museums. For one thing, they don’t charge admission.
Renaissance Antiques sells prized finds such as this antique gramophone.
“In our showroom, you don’t just look at objects, you become engaged with them,” owners Julie and Ron Palladino said. “Musical instruments play, clocks chime, pendulums swing, watches tick, surprises abound — and you’re actually encouraged to try on the jewelry.”
By MARILYN MCMAHON NEWS-PRESS STAFF WRITER
O
ne of the most frequently heard comments at Renaissance Antiques in Solvang is, “This is just like a museum.” The owners, Julie and Ron Palladino, hasten to point out that their business is even better than a museum for five reasons: • “You’re allowed to take things home with you. They frown upon that in museums. • “In our showroom, you don’t just look at objects, you become engaged with them. Musical instruments play, clocks chime, pendulums swing, watches tick, surprises abound — and you’re actually encouraged to try on the jewelry. • “In a museum, you speak in hushed tones. In our showroom, there’s always an air of joy and excitement as people discover items they previously didn’t even know existed. It’s like a party seven days a week. • “Museums have been closed for the better part of a year now. At Renaissance Antiques you can receive a personalized docent tour seven days a week from 10 a.m. until 6 p.m. • “We don’t charge admission.” With its thousands of priceless items that include antique clocks, vintage watches, fine furniture,
fine art, estate jewelry, Asian antiques, antique lighting and decorative arts, it’s understandable why the business would be mistaken for a museum. ‘We are often asked how we find our antiques. We tell people that having developed a widespread reputation as specialists in our field for more than 45 years, we are not so much finding the antiques these days as much as they’re finding us,” said Mrs. Palladino, who, along with her husband, opened Renaissance Antiques in 1979. They also owned the Solvang Antique Center for 25 years. Located at 469 First St. in Solvang, Renaissance Antiques is a combination showroom that covers 2,200 square feet and a restoration shop of 1,500 square feet. The couple’s interest in antiques began with clocks. “My parents had a small clock collection, and I became fascinated with them as a teenager,” said Mrs Palladino. “Our first business, HRS Antique Clocks, began as a clock repair shop more than 40 years ago,” said Mr. Palladino. “Since 1974, we’ve expanded our focus considerably, but clocks and music boxes are still our first love. We have one of the largest collections of restored antique clocks and music boxes in the country.” Among them is the French Animated Musical Painting Clock that was made in 1875 and
measures 29 inches high by 11 inches deep. “This wondrous threedimensional fully animated painting clock never fails to delight with its action — a windmill spins, a water wheel turns, a blacksmith shoes a horse, boats sail past, and a wedding procession leaves the church beneath the bell tower featuring a clock with chimes — all while a four-tune musical movement plays,” said Mr. Palladino. Other unique items include a rare French musical automaton and Violano Virtuoso Nickelodeon. “The automaton was made circa 1875 by Phalibois of Paris, one of the most famous makers of automata. It is the only one of its kind in the world and has survived 145 years in remarkable condition,” said Mrs. Palladino. “The element of surprise, along with the comical character, makes everyone laugh with delight while he is performing. “The nickelodeon features a violin and a piano simultaneously playing thousands of songs — from classical and operatic to traditional and contemporary music of every category.” Prices for the many items range from $10 to $75,000. The business’ clientele includes people from all over the world, all walks of life and all ages. Please see ANTIQUES on B2

Research ecologist Lizzie Duncan will be the speaker during a virtual Santa Barbara Maritime Museum talk on Aug. 19.
By DAVE MASON NEWS-PRESS MANAGING EDITOR
Research ecologist Lizzie Duncan will discuss the latest findings about deep-sea coral and sponge communities off the California coast during a Santa Barbara Maritime Museum webinar. The virtual presentation is set for 7 p.m. Aug. 19 and is free thanks to the support of Marie L. Morrisroe. To watch the program, register at sbmm.org/santa-barbara-events. Donations are welcome. Ms. Duncan, who works for the National Oceanic and Atmospheric
Administration Channel Islands Marine Sanctuary, will lead webinar participants through the deep, dark world of deep-sea coral and sponges through the lens of a West Coast research initiative, according to a news release. The webinar’s highlights will include what deep-sea corals and sponges are and why they’re important, the threats they face and what tools scientists are using to study them. The presentation will also include never-beforeshared images and findings from recent expeditions at places such as the Channel Islands National Marine Sanctuary.
Ms. Duncan has been part of the sanctuary’s research team since 2017. The next year, she became a co-coordinator of the West Coast Deep-Sea Coral Initiative, a nationally supported and multiyear research program. Now, as a full-time research ecologist for the sanctuary, she continues to coordinate deep-sea research, and she develops and manages related education and outreach projects. Ms. Duncan enjoys her fieldwork in waters around the Channel Islands, be it in depths easily accessible with scuba gear or those requiring remotely operated vehicles. “I’ve been fortunate enough to participate in a handful of expeditions that use cutting-edge technologies — like remotely operated vehicles — to put eyes on parts of the seafloor that have never before been studied,” she said in the news release. “Every mission is really exciting because you never know what you’ll find!” Ms. Duncan earned her bachelor’s in marine biology and master in biology at Cal State Long Beach. She was awarded a National Science Foundation Graduate Research Fellowship, which supported her graduate research at Stanford University’s Hopkins Marine Station. She also received an East Asia and Pacific Summer Institutes award to broaden her research experience at James Cook University in North Queensland, Australia. email: dmason@newspress.com

ARIES — There is a conflicting push/pull aspect to today that may leave you feeling unsure about how to proceed. On the one hand, you may feel like you want to plan things out and get your emotions stabilized so you can function at full capacity. On the other hand, something may be pulling you into the clouds. This is your heart talking. Listen. Find a compromise between these two energies. TAURUS — Get your chores done early, Taurus, so you have time to play tonight. Plan a romantic getaway with a loved one. Let your imagination carry you to a whole new realm of pleasure. This is a great day to explore your artistic nature and begin to manifest some of the ideas that have been rattling around in your head for a while. GEMINI — This is an excellent day to tell people exactly how you feel, Gemini. Your emotions are more stable than usual, so open up and speak from the heart. Listen. What you learn will be valuable for the future, so pay attention. Keep an eye on what is real, but let your heart explore all the possibilities. Follow your emotions and trust your instincts. You stand to gain a great deal. CANCER — Today may be tough, Cancer. Does it seem like nothing fits into place? Are you trying to be someone you’re not? If things don’t seem to be working out, don’t press the issue. You’re better off waiting for a time when you feel more confident about who you are and where you’re going. Meanwhile, have some tea and relax. Releasing stress can clear some energy for doing other things. LEO — Enjoy yourself, Leo. You have a lot to be grateful for, so give thanks. Take pride in all you’ve accomplished so far and share your joy with others. Let go of the reins and sit back comfortably for a while. You’ve worked hard for a reason - to enjoy life. If you don’t do it now, then when? Take time out and be with loved ones tonight. VIRGO — This may be one of those days when you don’t know which way to turn. For some reason, you just can’t make a decision, so you keep going around and around. Stop and rest. Get out and walk for a while until your head stops spinning. Wait until your mind clears before you make your next major move. LIBRA — Romance coming Monday, November 16,is2015 your way as long as you stay
levelheaded about the situation. Take care of the daily tasks and then let your heart soar. You have a strong connection to your emotions. Trust your instincts and let your heart take control. Be realistic about your relationships with others, but push the boundaries once they’ve been established. SCORPIO — Your emotions may be reserved, Scorpio. Take a break from the spunk and fire and simply lay low. This is a good time to sit back and receive. Don’t make any sudden moves. Just let the energy of the day take you where it will. The closer you can get to your inner nature and feminine energy, the closer you will become to a romantic partner or family member. SAGITTARIUS — Family issues play an important role in your day, Sagittarius. Speak from the heart and tell your kin how much they mean to you. In general, you might feel reserved with your energy. Don’t feel like you have to make any great strides right now. It’s more a time in which you can enjoy what you’ve worked for. Kick back and reap the rewards of all your hard work. CAPRICORN — You may be undecided about a loved one today, Capricorn. Something may urge you to act yet you want to lay low. There’s an important next step that you must take now. Carefully think the situation through before you make a move. In fact, this day would best be spent gathering data on the issue. It seems you should wait a bit before actually doing anything about it. AQUARIUS — Today is a great day to move forward, Aquarius. Your emotions are stable, leaving your heart free to take off to the clouds. Daydream. Now might be a good time to make plans with a romantic partner. Solidify your relationship and confirm your commitment to one another. If you’re single, this is a good time to set a plan in motion that will put you one step closer to your greatest fantasy. PISCES — There’s a conservative feeling to the day that asks you to get serious and take care of business. This may not be such a bad idea. This grounded atmosphere can help you move into a deeper relationship with someone special. Let your creativity shine, and try to do more listening than talking. Make your dreams a reality.

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.
