Reasons for optimism

SM chamber helping small businesses despite loss of big tourism events By JORGE MERCADO NEWS-PRESS STAFF WRITER

Like every city in Santa Barbara County, Santa Maria has had a tough go of it this year due to the novel coronavirus. Normal big time summer events like the Santa Maria Elks Rodeo, the Santa Barbara County Fair and the West Coast Kustoms Car Show bring in a ton of tourism, and in turn money, to the city every year. Though these events have been canceled, the city remains optimistic about the future of its local economy. “What gives me hope is we haven’t seen mass closures yet. We have seen one or two close their doors but it hasn’t been anywhere near the level that I think everybody was afraid of three

or four months ago,” Glenn D. Morris, president and CEO of the Santa Maria Valley Chamber of Commerce, told the News-Press. “That doesn’t mean it’s not coming, but that’s where we have to step in and tell businesses that if they are struggling, reach out to us now before it’s too late.” Mr. Morris has been a part of the chamber since 2014 and has focused on economic development for the majority of his career. As a result, Mr. Morris knows the bind businesses are in, but he also knows the commerce is doing everything it can to help them out. “We really do everything we can to connect them to local resources to help them… The challenge there is that I think so many of our businesses are just putting their head down, trying to get through Please see chamber on A7

Beachgoers try to beat the heat on Friday afternoon at East Beach, some of them finding shade under awnings.

Locals and tourists alike take to the Santa Barbara waterfront during heatwave By JOSH GREGA NEWS-PRESS STAFF WRITER

The South Coast heat wave continues. After a picturesque Friday afternoon along Santa Barbara’s waterfront saw dozens flock to the beach, the hot conditions will continue today. Today’s high in the city is 94 degrees, which follows a day in the upper 80s on Friday, according to the National Weather Service in Oxnard. In efforts to cope with the heat, plenty of people took advantage of the hot weather to spend the afternoon at East Beach. Though it’s expected to be even hotter today, several individuals who spoke to the News-Press on Friday said they’ll likely be at the beach again today rather than indoors by an air conditioner. Some at East Beach were out-oftowners who came to Santa Barbara Please see HEAT on A8

Millions of dollars have been devoted to local roadway projects as part of the more than $1.6 billion recently allocated by the California Transportation Commission for transportation projects. The CTC announced the allocation Thursday, which will include $1.3 billion dedicated to State Highway Operation and Protection Program projects, which is Caltrans “fix-it-first” program aimed at preserving the condition of the state highway system, according to officials. A total of $42 million will be allocated to rehabilitate Highway 101 near Summerland from north of the Padaro Lane overcrossing to north of Sheffield Avenue. The project will replace pavement and guardrails, widen the highway shoulders and upgrade drainage systems. Some $19 million has been tabbed for the 101 overcrossing at the interchange with State Route

135 in Los Alamos, which will address the deteriorated bridge deck. An additional $19 million will be used to install access for inspection of the Cold Spring Canyon Bridge on State Route 154. The project will include painting the bridge to prevent further erosion, as well as a protective coating to the steel. “Our maintenance and construction crews remain hard at work improving California’s transportation infrastructure,” Caltrans Director Toks Omishakin said in a statement. “This investment allows the department to continue making critical repairs and upgrades while also serving as an economic driver by helping create thousands of new jobs.” The CTC also approved more than $118 million in funds to rail and mass transit projects, including freight, intercity rail and bus services. The allocation will expand access to public transportation and is aimed Please see caltrans on A7

Montecito native recalls climbing Mount Kilimanjaro with her family

By JORGE MERCADO NEWS-PRESS STAFF WRITER

A

lly Hodosy has crossed off a major feat on her bucket list. The 22-year-old Montecito native joined her grandfather in climbing the highest free-standing mountain in the world: Mount Kilimanjaro. The Tanzania, Africa, mountain is one of the toughest climbs for anyone to make. “It was my senior year of high school when my grandpa pulled the whole family together around Thanksgiving, and he said that it was his greatest wish, No. 1 on his bucket list, to climb Mount Kilimanjaro,” Ms. Hodosy told the News-Press. Originally, her grandfather was going to do the journey solo, but inspired by his tenacity, Ms. Hodosy and eager family members decided to join him as he attempted to cross this adventure off his bucket list. “My grandpa is the most adventurous, craziest man you’ll ever meet. He always has these wild crazy adventures and ideas, and I’m surprised I’m still here today with some of the crazy things that he’s dragged us through,” Ms. Hodosy said with a laugh. For the uninitiated, Mount Kilimanjaro is the highest mountain in Africa and stands 19,341 feet. “The whole experience was really interesting because it had never been my wish to climb Kilimanjaro,” Ms. Hodosy said. “I love being outside, I love nature, but I am not a professional climber in any way so it took a lot of getting in shape and preparing,” “But it’s hard because you can’t really, really prepare for it. The altitude just affects everyone differently so mentally I think you have to prepare that you could be in the best shape of your life and still really, really struggle with Mount Kilimanjaro.” After months of preparing and about two weeks after graduating in 2016 from Mira Costa High School in Manhattan Beach, Ms. Hodosy was off to Tanzania. She went there with her mom, sister, uncle, cousin and, of course, her grandpa to set foot on this grand feat. “I was in pretty good spirits the whole time, and I had a pretty good attitude going into it, but it was definitely a bit of culture shock the first day,” Ms. Hodosy said. She recalled looking up at Mount Kilimanjaro from the airport as soon as she arrived. “I looked up at the top, and I was like, ‘Oh God,’ ” she said with a laugh. Despite a few setbacks after landing, once the actual climbing started, Ms. Hodosy said she was “dialed in.” “I was super fortunate,” Ms. Hodosy said. “I like to tell people all the time if you’re going to climb Mount Kilimanjaro, go when you’re 18. I had pretty much the best time out of anyone physically climbing the mountain. I never got sick.” While she was lucky, most of her other family members succumbed to the altitude sickness that comes

Kilimanjaro.

with the hike. Ms. Hodosy shared her tent with her cousin Kieran, who was 14 at the time, and remembered he was constantly throwing up and was riddled with headaches. Her sister was also having a hard time. “It was absolutely horrible. Having to share a tent with my cousin who has altitude sickness all the time, that sucks and you feel bad for him,” Ms. Hodosy said.

“And it was really hard to see my sister like that. She’s a tough cookie and nothing really shakes her, but she struggled with the altitude sickness and she has a breathing condition, and it was just really hard to watch that and see the ways that it affected my family.” Around day seven, the group hit the “arctic zone.” “It’s basically the home stretch

to the summit. Temperatures drop below zero, and we climb through snow and ice, and there are glaciers all around us,” Ms. Hodosy said. She recalled really struggling during this portion, constantly slipping, falling behind and overall just getting frustrated with the trip by that point. “I had a pretty bad meltdown on the side of the mountain and

uninvited my grandpa to my future wedding,” Ms. Hodosy said with a laugh. But she said it was her grandfather who kept inspiring everyone. “He’s the biggest stud I know, and it was the coolest thing ever watching him and just really, really amazing. He was always in the front, he was the leader of the pack,” Ms. Hodosy said.

Even the porters came to love her grandfather. “We had about 25 porters, and everyone was obsessed with him because they don’t see grandfathers climbing Mount Kilimanjaro ever. My grandpa was by far the oldest man that I saw on the trail the whole time so all the porters were just like ‘Babu,’ and coming up to him and he was kind of like the chief of the whole pack. It was awesome,” Ms. Hodosy said. Finally, on day eight, she and her family stood on top of Mount Kilimanjaro, “That’s always the first question everyone asks me, ‘What was going through your head?’ and I really feel like I almost blacked out,” Ms. Hodosy said with a laugh. She recalled hugging her sister and mother through the entire six-minute experience and, funny enough, looking down, remembering her initial feelings when she arrived at the airport looking up. “To be at the actual top looking out, it was a really special moment, and I don’t think I’ll forget that for a really long time,” Ms. Hodosy said. “They say it’s the roof of Africa, and you can see everything and it was the most perfect day with clear skies and it was so cool.” Over the next two days, on the way back down, Ms. Hodosy said it was a party, with smiles on everyone’s faces as they knew they had accomplished such a taxing task. Looking back at the journey now, Ms. Hodosy said the one thing that she loved about the trip were the porters. She said she asked them to teach her Swahili on the way up and just had genuine fun moments with them, especially on the way back down. “I had so much fun and I made so many friends with them, and it’s like you become a family,” Ms. Hodosy said. “It’s crazy to think you do this crazy thing on your bucket list, and then it’s done and it’s in the past. We had been talking about it for so many months before. Every conversation we had leading up to the trip was about Kilimanjaro, and that was weird for me that it was over. “But it’s also exciting because now we get to choose our next moment, our next adventure.” As she sits and reflects, it’s these memories that allow Ms. Hodosy to stay positive and gives her something to look forward to once this pandemic ends. “No matter what you’re faced with, a global pandemic or a mountain, it all comes back putting yourself out there,” Ms. Hodosy said. “It’s hard with COVID, but even when things are scary and uncomfortable you got to just keep staying positive and trying to persevere.” And, for those wondering, Ms. Hodosy did reinvite her grandfather back to her wedding. “We got to last base camp, signed the paperwork and I said, ‘Papa I am so sorry, of course you can come to my wedding,’ ” Ms. Hodosy said with a laugh. “He was pretty happy about that.” email: jmercado@newspress.com

At left, Mt. Kilimanjaro is the highest mountain in Africa and stands 19,341 feet. It took 10 days for the group to travel to and from the top of the mountain. Center, after successfully climbing Mt. Kilimanjaro, the Hodosy family spent another week in Africa, sightseeing and even going on a three-day safari trip. At right, Ms. Hodosy hopes to take even more trips and adventures with her family once the COVID-19 pandemic dies down and life returns a bit back to normal.

You should absolutely point out to him what you have noticed, and tell him you are concerned that it may affect his employment. Then suggest he discuss his compulsive talking with a licensed mental health professional. This is not to imply there is anything “wrong� with him, but rather that he may benefit from professional help in recognizing the social cues he is missing.

LIFE

SANTA BARBARA NEWS-PRESS

“All credibility, all good conscience, all evidence of truth come only from the senses.� — Friedrich Nietzsche

ARIES — If your lifestyle is very different from others, resist feeling self-conscious about it today, Aries. Remember that you chose your life for specific reasons. Even if you’re considering a change, there’s no need to feel ashamed or embarrassed about where you are now. Everyone has to make his or her own way. If it conforms to the norm, that’s fine. If it doesn’t, that’s fine, too. TAURUS — Enhanced determination could motivate you today, Taurus, giving you the zip to plow through your work. Finish projects that have been pending and think about what you want to tackle next. Don’t hesitate to do something that feels complicated or big. You’ll probably be able to handle anything, and it will feel great when you’re done. Making the most of any opportunity. Enjoy your day. GEMINI — Are you feeling the effects of today’s low-key planetary aspects, Gemini? Take heart - it’s only temporary. Do your best to take things one step at a time and make some plans for a little fun this evening. Get together with friends, if possible, or watch a movie. Help yourself feel better by staying busy and focused, followed by recreation. Before you know it, you’ll be feeling much more upbeat. CANCER — Make some plans for recreation, Cancer. Having something fun to look forward to can make even the toughest times far easier to handle. You’ll be amazed at how much you can manage when there’s an end in sight. Your whole attitude lightens, so take the bull by the horns and create your own incentives. Do something special to reward yourself for the hard work you do every day. LEO — Don’t judge someone just because his or her lifestyle differs from what you consider normal, Leo. You may be traditional, but not everyone shares your view of relationships, work, or lifestyle. While this may seem hard to understand and even frightening to you, try not to be too hard on others. You’ll be better off using that energy to keep your own life on track. VIRGO — Friends seeking advice or a shoulder to cry on may be plentiful today, Virgo. And you’re one of best people to provide the support and caring they need. Just don’t give so much to others that you have nothing left for yourself. True friendship +*#!2 +1$)"$is about sharing problems. Getting

rundown will leave you in a place where you aren’t much help to anyone. LIBRA — Getting through any work you have to do shouldn’t be a problem for you today, Libra. Even if you flag for a bit, you’re likely to get a second wind, and this will give you the drive and determination to see your projects to completion. Make plans for some fun after you’re done, such as getting together with friends, if possible, or taking in an event that really intrigues you. You deserve it. SCORPIO — Working within boundaries and restrictions could get to you today, Scorpio. Yours is an independent spirit, and your best achievements are often born of doing things your own way. Like it or not, we all have to follow rules. Finish what needs to be done. Afterward, you may find more freedom to act independently without consequences. Exercise patience and diligence as needed. SAGITTARIUS — Chances are that you’ll feel upbeat and positive today. Share this energy with others who feel less than content. Your attitude can have a profound effect on friends, partners, spouse, and children. Neighbors and extended family can pick up on your spirit without you even realizing it. If someone is hurt or angry, be encouraging. Everything will eventually work out. CAPRICORN — Don’t discount your excellent resourcefulness, Capricorn. If you haven’t got everything you need or all of the information required, take some time to think. Who do you know? What resources can you access? Who might know where you can find what you need? Rather than panic because the pieces aren’t all there yet, make a list of contacts and go for it. Trust in yourself. AQUARIUS — Try not to let the blues get you down, Aquarius. While it’s true some days can seem to drag, the busier you stay, the faster time will pass. Get down to finishing any work still pending and make plans for an evening out. If there’s a light at the end of the tunnel, not only will things seem to speed up, but you’ll also feel better knowing you’re almost done. PISCES — Dare to be different, Pisces. It’s easy to fall into routines - sleep and eat at the same time, wear the same style, and do your work the same way every day. Before you know it, you’re in a rut. The only way to pull out of it is to decide to break free. Try a new hairstyle. Wear colors that are new for you. If the rut is really deep, consider a new career. Expand your horizons.

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.

Camerata Pacifica to present oboist Nicholas Daniel SANTA BARBARA — For the next installment of its “Concert at Home� series on Sunday, local chamber music company Camerata Pacifica will feature the talents of its principal oboist Nicholas Daniel. According to a news release, Mr. Daniel got his start in music as a boy chorister at Salisbury Cathedral in England. When he was 18, he won the BBC Young Musician of the Year competition

and went on to win the prestigious Queen’s Medal for Music. In response to requests from viewers, the livestream of “Concert at Home� on YouTube and Facebook has been changed to 10 a.m. After 11:30 a.m., the stream will be available for viewers to rewatch. The music company has already recorded 20 episodes of its “Concert at Home� series, which feature a variety of music and interviews with musicians and composers. Past installments can be viewed on the Camerata Pacifica YouTube channel. — Josh Grega

Hotels ‘slowly trickling upwards’ chamber

the day and just trying to keep their business afloat,� Mr. Morris said. “Sometimes it’s hard to get their attention and tell them about the constant new information, so we really just try to make sure that it’s available when they’re ready for it in a form they can easily consume and digest it.� In July, the chamber of commerce began sending out surveys to local businesses in attempts to better understand their current situations. Some of the results from July showed that 76% of the businesses had reported a drop of at least 25% in revenue over the past 30 days, with 23% of those businesses reporting a drop in revenue of at least 75%. In addition, 65% of those businesses say increased mitigation expenses had the largest impact on their business, with another 59% saying canceled events have also had a big impact. “The other lens with these big events really is the impact on the community and the local side of it,� Mr. Morris said. “I think there’s a lot of businesses that expect to sell a lot of products to people that are downtown, or that are in town for rodeo right, or that are coming in for the fair or some of those kinds of things. People are used to them being here so businesses have lost that traffic.� The results for the next survey should be released sometime next week, according to Mr. Morris. “What we saw in the July survey is that it was hard. We’re taking big hits, but we’re still reasonably optimistic we can get through it. That was the temperature,� Mr. Morris said. “It’ll be interesting to see now a month further into it to see if they’re seeing the light at the end of the tunnel or if they think we’re headed in the wrong direction.� While offering support, Mr. Morris said the chamber is also part of a team that is hoping to announce a small business micro grant program to help some of the local businesses in Santa Maria.

“They’re still trying to wrap up all the funding but we are working on the marketing side, so that’s hopefully coming soon,� Mr. Morris said. The chamber has also been actively running advertising campaigns encouraging residents to support local shops. “Support local is the approach we’re taking and we’re trying to remind everybody that when you support a local business, you’re supporting your neighbor, you’re supporting your family and supporting your friends,� Mr. Morris said. These campaigns are why Mr. Morris is also not worried about the recent lack of tourism from the loss of major events. “Our hotels are seeing some recovery, nowhere near where they would normally be, but they are slowly trickling upwards. On the tourism side we can at least attract some visitors back and pick up some of the money that way,� Mr. Morris said. He added that the Central Coast really is as good a place as any to visit during the coronavirus pandemic. The reason being that there are many places that allow for natural social distancing whether it be hiking trails or wine tasting. “We don’t just tell people to come, we say come and be responsible but we actually lend ourselves pretty well to those protocols. The things people do here aren’t usually in large gatherings. We don’t have Disneyland and we don’t have crowded beaches, what you could do here is more orientated for small groups and people being spaced out,� Mr. Morris said. The Elks Rodeo and Parade was the latest event to be canceled, making the announcement official last week. While the rodeo was canceled, Elks Recreation partnered with the city’s Parks and Recreation team to announce their first ever “Christmas in the Country,� a holiday light experience that will be held during the holiday season. These small pivots make Mr. Morris confident that Santa Maria will recover, hopefully a theme that will continue countywide. email: jmercado@newspress.com

at reducing greenhouse gas emissions and traffic congestion, officials said. As part of the investment, $77 million will be dedicated to the Trade Corridor Enhancement Program, which is dedicated to projects that enhance the movement of goods along corridors with high-freight volume by making improvements to state highways, local roads, freight and rail systems, port facilities and truck corridors. Nearly $14 million was approved for 17 projects to improve bicycle and pedestrian overcrossings,

repair sidewalks and bike lanes, and provide safer routes to school for children, officials said. Project funding is taken from federal and state gas taxes, including $1.2 billion from Senate Bill 1, known as the Road Repair and Accountability Act of 2017. The state’s portion of SB 1 funds are used for the ongoing maintenance and rehabilitation of the state highway system. By 2027, these funds will enable Caltrans to fix more than 17,000 lane miles of pavement, 500 bridges, 55,000 culverts and 7,700 traffic operating systems that help reduce highway congestion. email: mwhite@newspress.com

‘We’re just trying to stay cool and we can do that down here in Santa Barbara by the beach’ HEAT

Continued from Page A1 for the weekend to get away from even more intense heat. Santa Clarita resident Brevin White said his hometown was experiencing temperatures in the triple digits, so coming to Santa Barbara was something of an escape. “We don’t get a breeze back home in Santa Clarita. With the heatwave we’re just trying to stay cool and we can do that down here in Santa Barbara by the beach,” he said Mariposa County resident Victoria Imprie also said she intended on coming back to East Beach over the weekend with her two daughters. “We try and be at the beach as much as we can, the beach or the mountains are the two places we want to be when it’s hot,” she said. Since she owns a zipline park in Mariposa County, Ms. Imprie said her family is very outdoorsy and has spent

too much time indoors as of late. Thus, they won’t be sitting inside during the heatwave. “To be honest, we’ve done too much sitting around … We’re usually outdoors and we like to be able to get out in the fresh air, and this is the time of year to be at the ocean,” she said. Because her kids had been at East Beach every day of last week for the Santa Barbara Junior Lifeguards summer program, Santa Barbara resident Leslie Roth didn’t think she and her family would return to East Beach during the weekend. However, the hot weather means they will surely take a trip to some other beach. Whichever one they choose to go to, it will be one that doesn’t have too many people visiting. “We’re also trying to spread out a little bit, so we don’t want to come to really crowded beaches,” she said. Santa Barbara resident and San Marcos High School junior Emma Whitmer expects to do a little of both. On Friday, she was at East Beach to

give a volleyball lesson, but over the weekend she hopes to go back and take a dip in the ocean. That said, she does have homework and other school-related business to take care of before she begins her junior year of high school next week. Unlike a vast majority of the people who spoke to the News-Press on Friday, Santa Barbara resident Jennifer Stroh plans “to be indoors all day Saturday and all day Sunday, studying in the dark.” She said she’ll be studying The Dharma, the teachings of The Buddha, in an online weekend course through the Bodhi Path Buddhist Center. Today’s high temperature is expected to be 97 degrees. The forecast for Sunday calls for a high of 92, according to the National Weather Service. The heat will persist into early next week, with a high of 88 on Monday and a high of 95 on Tuesday, according to the Weather Service. email: jgrega@newspress.com

Cases are continuing to spike in Isla Vista, with 71 new cases in the last two weeks COVID

Continued from Page A2 hospitalizations in the county have ranged between a low of 74 and a high of 88. Similarly, the number of COVID-19 patients occupying ICU beds in local hospitals has fluctuated from a low of 24 to a high of 31 just this past week. “This local hospitalization data clearly indicates we continue to have a problem with community transmission of COVID-19 throughout Santa Barbara County. Hospitalization and intensive care patient counts are lagging indicators of the presence of disease, because it takes time for the course of the virus to progress to the point where patients require hospitalization,” Mr. Hart said. While they are lagging indicators, many health experts

have said that hospitalization data is one of the more accurate ways to track community transmission. Currently, there have been no issues with hospitalization or ICU counts. Of the total cases, 290 are still considered active, or still infectious, with 73 recovering in the hospital and 26 in the ICU. According to numbers released Friday, Cottage Health is caring for a total of 294 patients across all campuses. Of those, 234 are acute care patients which means 154 acute care beds remain available. The majority of the cases announced Friday were out of Santa Maria, which announced 60 new cases. The city now has 3,252 total cases, the most in the county, including 121 that are active. The city of Santa Barbara reported 13 new cases Friday, bringing its total to 956. A total of

43 cases are active. Both Isla Vista and Lompoc recorded 12 new cases. For I.V., the popular college town next to UCSB, cases are continuing to spike. Over the last two weeks, the town has seen 71 new cases and its total is now 116, with 24 considered active. Six cases came from the unincorporated areas of Sisquoc, Casmalia, Garey, Cuyama, New Cuyama and city of Guadalupe, while Goleta saw four new cases. Orcutt reported three new cases and Santa Ynez and the communities of Montecito, Summerland and Carpinteria each had one new case. Broken down by age range, the bracket with the most cases came from residents between 30 and 49 with 51 new cases, bringing the total to 2,835, the most in the county. There were also 49 new cases

in the 30 to 49 age range, bringing the total to 1,993. The 0-17 age range saw seven new cases, 50-69 saw 25 and those in the 70-plus group saw five new cases. Another thing Mr. Hart touched on in Friday’s meeting is the importance of people obtaining an annual flu shot this year. “Last year, we were fortunate the flu season was relatively mild and had largely diminished before the serious onset of the coronavirus pandemic. We may not be as fortunate this year,” Mr. Hart said. With the novel coronavirus likely to stick around through the winter, which is when flu season hits, Mr. Hart said it is important to get a shot and help lower the chance of people being hospitalized by the flu which could overwhelm the healthcare system.

“The good news is influenza has a vaccine and a treatment that can keep it under control. The problem is less than half the country, only 47% got a flu shot last year,” Mr. Hart said. He added that the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention normally recommends that at least 60 to 70% of the country obtain the shot. “This year it’s more important than ever to push for much higher compliance,” Mr. Hart said. “Every additional person who

FRITSCHE, John C. 1929 - 2020

John Chester Fritsche passed away on August 12, 2020, due to complications of Covid-19. John was born in Los Angeles on December 12, 1929. John attended Fairfax High School in LA, where he developed an interest in plants. He attended what is now Cal Poly, in San Luis Obispo, graduating with degrees in Ornamental Horticulture, and Soil Science. Upon graduation, he married Ruth Leona Tatreau before being drafted into the Army during the Korean War. While stationed at Fort Sheridan, Illinois, their daughter Susan Ruth was born. When his duty ended, they returned to Ruth’s hometown of Santa Barbara, where their son James was born in 1955. John and his family loved the ocean, and had many adventures aboard their boat, fishing and enjoying the water. John worked for a division of Hughes Aircraft that developed anti-tank guided missile systems, and continued his career at Raytheon, Delco and Santa Barbara Research for 35 years. His wife Ruth died in 1992, just a few years into their retirement. Besides his family, John’s greatest love was for the city of Santa Barbara. He spent many years studying its history and collecting old photographs, postcards and memorabilia. He enjoyed sharing his collection with writers who could use it to show the history of Santa Barbara. His extensive collection of over 7,000 postcards and photos has been donated to the Santa Barbara History Museum. John is predeceased by his wife Ruth, and his daughter Susan. He is survived by his son James, and daughter-in-law Shirley. A celebration of life will be held in the future, when friends and family can gather safely. In lieu of flowers, donations to the Hospice of Santa Barbara Inc., are appreciated.

PADILLA, Joseph, Jr. Joseph Padilla Jr. passed away peacefully on Wednesday, July 8th, 2020. Born on May 30, 1938 to Joe and Beatrice Padilla of Santa Barbara, Joe was raised in Santa Barbara and attended Dolores School (Notre Dame) and Santa Barbara High School. After high school, he was married to his high school sweetheart, Esther Vega, in which they were married for 63 years. Joe joined the air force in 1956 studying aircraft instrument repair. After leaving the service he attended Santa Barbara City College taking courses in electronics, motor controls and design, and platform computer programming. Joe was a graduate of the apprenticeship class of 1964. As a journeyman electrician from 1970-1981, he built his reputation designing circuitry for gas compressor controls, fire and gas automation for many south coast offshore platforms for Union Oil, Chevron, Arco, Texaco, and Sun Oil supervising crews between 50-100 electricians. In 1982, he took up residence in Jakarta, Indonesia along with his wife to take on a job supervising 200 crew members on 47 production platforms assisting with on-thejob training on power distribution and production. From 1984 to 1987 Joe supervised and was responsible for 50 crew members on the installation testing and modifications of launch hardware for the space shuttle project at Vandenberg Air Force Base in California. In his later years he taught the 5th-year apprenticeship program for many years into his retirement. Joe was a member of the International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers Union 413 for over 40 years. Joe, in his younger years, enjoyed fishing on the ocean, camping, barbecuing, and watching football games on weekends and holidays with friends and family. Joe always believed that with hard work, success can be achieved. Preceding Joe in death are his father Joe Padilla, his mother Beatrice, and his brother Richard. He is survived by his wife, Esther, sons Joey, Ron (Natasha), and Dan; grandchildren Brionna, Justin, Daniel, and Vanessa; brother David (Valerie) and sister Dorothy (Glen). Due to the coronavirus there will be a private family burial and a celebration of life will be planned for a future date.

MILLS, Mary Lloyd (Dow)

Mary Lloyd (Dow) Mills, 82, of Solvang, CA passed away on the morning of August 4, 2020. She was born in Midland, Michigan on August 9, 1937. She is survived by her loving and devoted husband of 63 years, Kendall Mills, their three children, Bonnie, David, and Chris Mills and their spouses, Doug Eicher, Wanda Mills, and Mireille Mills; their grandchildren Charles Dennis, Addison Mills, Taggart Mills, Tilly Mills, Marisol Mills, and Lautner Mills. She is also survived by her brother, Mike Dow and his family; and her sister, Barbara (Dow) Carras and her family. Mary Lloyd, known to all as Lloyd, was a passionate and outspoken young person. She attended the Leelanau School in Michigan and then went on to Connecticut College for her freshman year. She began dating Ken Mills, who was a senior at Yale University, and there was no turning back. After her sophomore year of college, she married Ken and they moved to Kassel, Germany while he was serving in the U.S. Army. They loved their time in Germany and were able to take advantage of weekends away for visits to other areas of Europe. Lloyd and Ken returned to Michigan after their time in Germany. In 1962, Ken’s work brought him to Los Angeles, California. Settling in Pasadena, Lloyd kept busy raising her first two children and returning to college to earn her undergraduate degree. She graduated from Occidental College in 1965 with a degree in philosophy. Always interested in furthering her education, Lloyd later completed her Master’s Degree in German from UCSB in 1990. After ten years in Pasadena, Lloyd, Ken, and their now three children moved to Solvang, California in June of 1972. They wanted a change of pace for their family and to spend more time outdoors. Lloyd fell in love with the Santa Ynez Valley and became even more passionate about spending time outside and developing her hiking skills. In 1978 with support from some very good friends, she led the effort to found the Santa Ynez Valley Women Hikers (SYVWH). She created this group, which still exists today and is well-regarded in the Santa Barbara County area, as a way to develop new friendships, nurture a strong feeling of camaraderie between members, explore new areas of the county’s many trails, all while staying in shape and spending time in the open air. This group of women became an important core of Lloyd’s social group, enlarging to include a book club, knitting and sewing circles, a bridge club, social events (men included here), and travel to other places to hike, in the U.S. and Europe. In the late 1980s, Lloyd and Ken began to increase their travel and started taking hiking trips to the mountains of Germany, Austria, and Switzerland. In the mid-1990’s they decided to go out on their own and lead organized trips of friends and other hikers. Lloyd never missed a summer going to her beloved mountains until this year when it became impossible to travel. For many years from the 1960s-1980s, Lloyd and Ken were active members in the Christian Science Church in Pasadena and Ballard, and later the Unity Church in Santa Barbara. They were involved as leaders and supporters and made many friends both in Pasadena and Santa Barbara. Lloyd was passionate about the arts and was an ongoing patron and supporter of the local theatre and music groups in Solvang and Santa Barbara. She gave generously of her time and served on the Board of CAMA (Community Arts Music Association of Santa Barbara) and many other local nonprofit community boards over the years. Her family wishes to thank all of her dear friends for supporting Lloyd over the years and for bringing her so much joy. Those close to her gave meaning and purpose to her life in a way that all of her family appreciates and treasures. A private gathering was held with a few family members on what would have been Lloyd’s 83rd birthday on August 9. A physically-distanced memorial was also held at Nojoqui Falls Park with her beloved hiking group, where all gathered in a circle and blew bubbles into the air in Lloyd’s honor. In lieu of flowers, donations in Lloyd’s name may be made to the Santa Ynez Valley Foundation at www.syvalleyfoundation.org or CAMA at www.camasb.org. Lloyd’s family knows that she built a strong community and that there are many who cared for her, but during this difficult time they ask that all refrain from reaching out to her husband, Ken.
