Local leaders honored with peace awards

By JORGE MERCADO NEWS-PRESS STAFF WRITER

Three local leaders in the nonprofit sector were recognized this week for making exceptional impacts on both a local and worldwide level in their pursuits for peace.

Barbara Tellefson, Thomas Tighe and David Krieger all received peace prizes during Thursday’s virtual Zoom awards ceremony hosted by the Santa Barbara United Nations Association.

This is the fourth year the chapter has handed out Santa Barbara UNA Peace Prize, with this year’s theme focusing on “Celebrating Santa Barbara Stars Changing the World.”

The keynote speaker on Thursday was former United Nation Ambassador from Bangladesh, Anwarul K. Chowdhury.

“Peace is integral to human existence, in everything we do, in everything we say, and in every thought we have, there is a place for peace,” Mr. Chowdhury said.

“We need to focus on empowering the individual, so that each one of us becomes an agent of peace and non-violence.

We just have to leave our own mark on this world, as peaceful, nonviolent individuals.”

Mr. Tighe was the first to receive his award, under the category of advancing capacity in the developing world, and was introduced by 2017 UNA Peace Prize winner, Rinaldo Brutoco.

Mr. Tighe runs Direct Relief, a humanitarian nonprofit that delivers emergency and medical resources to places in need.

Owners of a 155,000 squarefoot warehouse in Goleta, Direct Relief estimates that it handles “3.9 million pounds of medical aid to 100 countries via 16,000 deliveries every year.”

It is now one of the five largest charities in the United States, according to Mr. Brutoco, and this year will deliver $1.8 billion in medicine distribution.

“It stands directly as a giant amongst international aid organizations, and even more critical for our purposes tonight, a giant in the distribution of critical medical supplies to the poorest of the poor right here in the U.S.A. It’s the only organization that’s allowed to distribute pharmaceuticals in all 50 states,” Mr. Brutoco said.

Mr. Tighe was honored by Mr. Brutoco’s kind words and said one of the things he is most proud of is the work Direct Relief has done to help people of color.

Kindergarten teacher Jennifer Gonzalez started the school year on Zoom, trying to hold small kids’ attention for a couple hours each day.

Then, she logged off and headed to her old classroom to remove her carefully selected decor and transfer them to her new classroom, roughly three times the size of her old digs.

“The administration worked so hard all summer long to move our campus,” she said. “There’s a lot of steps to make it safe.”

The Howard School in Carpinteria opened Monday at a new campus, this time located at Saint Joseph’s Catholic Church in indoor classrooms next to a large, outdoor field. Headmaster Joel Reed worked to secure the new location because he was eager to reopen but needed a safer space for students.

“To see how happy they are, not just to go to recess but to go to class, is so refreshing,” he said.

“I’m so glad we were able to open for them.”

Ms. Gonzalez said she loves hearing her class giggle and can tell the students are smiling — even behind masks.

“One student came up to me on the first day and said ‘Ms. Gonzalez, this is so much better than Zooming,’” she said.

During Zoom classes, she could see the anxiety on the kids’ faces.

They cried out of frustration and argued with their parents as they tried to adapt to technology.

“For me, with teaching and education, it’s so much more than academics. It includes the social

and emotional aspects and feeling safe,” she said. “Now that we’re back in a physical classroom, it really encompasses The Howard School philosophy.”

Headmaster Reed also spoke about the importance of social growth.

“The hard part of remote learning is that it’s only focused on academics. The other pillars of a child’s development can’t be truly nurtured in that kind of an

environment,” he said.

Some parents expressed concern initially when he announced his intent to return to classrooms, and he made sure there was an online option available. After he explained the safety precautions, though, all the parents were comfortable with inperson learning.

When students enter school in the morning, they line up (six-feet apart) to get their temperatures

taken. Cubbies are outside the classroom, and they wash their hands immediately upon entering.

Ms. Gonzalez is thankful she has two sinks inside her room and one outside. The new spacious room allows for ample social distancing, and she tries to get her class outside and make use of the large field on the new campus.

She even has a teacher’s aide working with the class part time to Please see school on A4

Leaders from a variety of different industries came together to explore sustainable solutions for businesses and consumers, and their mantras when it comes to helping the environment.

The virtual Sustainability Symposium held over Zoom Friday morning included leaders in shoes, cannabis farms, entertainment, food, construction, energy and financial planning. Each representative had the chance to present their solutions and provide concrete actions viewers can take to do a little more for the environment each day.

Sustainable Future founder Seth Streeter acted as moderator for the symposium speakers, and said one of his and his organization’s goals is to educate the public that “strength in collaboration” is better than “community silos” when it comes to sustainability.

“We have not yet come together. How can we bring the whole community together in one platform?” he said. “We’re here to go far together.”

Sustainable Future created a competitive platform that allows users to log small or large sustainable actions they choose throughout the day and win points. To learn more about it, visit https://www. sustainablefuture.org/platform.

General manager of Teva consumer products Anders Bergstrom discussed the importance of holding businesses accountable for what they actually do, rather than what they say they’ll do in 10 years.

For example, he said Teva converted 100% of its webbing

straps on the sandals to recycled polyester, all while keeping the price the same.

“Our fundamental belief is that sustainability cannot become a luxury,” Mr. Bergstrom said. “It can never become cloistered or set behind a walled garden or priced into a sector.

You fundamentally limit and block your ability to make any type of impact on the planet whatsoever.”

Learn more about Teva’s practices at https://www.teva. com/sustainability/.

Glass House Farms chief cannabis officer Graham Farrar focused on the “interconnectedness” of sustainability across all sectors.

Glass House attempts to reduce its carbon footprint by reusing runoff water, using beneficial insects over pesticides and using solar power rather than grow lights.

“We like to think about things on the triple bottom line: things good for the planet, good for the business and important for the consumer,” Mr. Farrar said. “We are not on top of nature, but we are part of nature. We find ways to do more with less.”

CARP Growers president Tristan Strauss echoed incorporating sustainable tenants into cannabis farming, and said that CARP Growers attempts to sustain not only its business culture, but the community as well.

“All of our companies are only as sustainable as the community that supports them. It’s our responsibility as business owners and community members to ensure our returns are directed back into the local economy,” he said. “If directed properly and ethically, business Please see sustainable on A10

Continued from Page A1 U.S. where Direct Relief works, it’s supporting community health centers that were created in 1965 in recognition of the fact that black Americans, and brownskinned Americans had no access to meaningful health services in the United States. We’re still doing that 55 years later as the largest kind of philanthropic effort,� he said. “It’s just really a privilege for me to be part of an organization that was doing it long before I arrived, and I hope will continue to do it as long as it’s needed long and after I’m gone.�

Mr. Tighe added that he considered declining the award, but decided to accept it so long as he could do so on behalf of his colleagues, volunteers and everyone at Direct Relief.

Ms. Tellefson received her award for advancing human rights and dignity. She was introduced by 2018 award winner Deepa Willingham.

Ms. Tellefson is the director of operations at The Unity Shoppe in Santa Barbara, which is dedicated to supporting thousands of lowincome families. “How can we possibly strive for peace among nations, if we treat our local neighbors in a way that doesn’t help alleviate their local poverty and the hopelessness that ensues?� Ms. Willingham said.

The Unity Shoppe serves around 20,000 people annually thanks to nearly 2,000 volunteers.

It serves many different purposes for the low-income community, such as being a food and grocery distribution center, providing support for disasters, having a work volunteer program and more.

Since the pandemic, the Unity Shoppe has focused especially on getting groceries to people without cost and in a safe manner.

At left, Barbara Tellefson received her peace award for advancing human rights and dignity. She serves as the Director of Operations at the Unity Shoppe, which provides support for low-income families in Santa Barbara. At center, Thomas Tighe received his peace award for advancing capacity in the developing world. He is the CEO of Direct Relief, one of the five largest charities in the world, which delivers roughly 3.9 million pounds of emergency and medical relief to struggling places worldwide. At right, David Krieger received his award for helping create peace in the modern world. Mr. Krieger, founder and president emeritus of the Nuclear Age Peace Foundation, advocates strongly for the abolition of nuclear weapons.

“Guided by her mission and purpose, Barbara mandated the organization streamlined singularly focused on meeting the overwhelming need for free, nutritious groceries in a safe manner,� Ms. Willingham said. “She has been a human rights champion for as long as she can remember, crediting the privilege, know-how and grit to stand up fiercely in defense of basic human rights of others instilled in her over 84 years ago by her parents.�

In her acceptance speech, Ms. Tellefson thanked her volunteers and the organization for the award, and Ms. Willingham for her kind words.

Mr. Krieger, who received the award for creating peace in the world, is the founder and president emeritus of the Nuclear Age Peace Foundation.

The foundation advocates for disarmament, peace and an end to systemic injustice.

He was introduced by Joe White, who won the award in 2019.

The two have known each other for about 25 years. “In 2010, I started the program A Year Without War and David

became a mentor to me‌ One of the first things you did was introduce my little group to the mayor of Nagasaki, who gave us a model that we had a dream with a deadline and a plan,â€? Mr. White said. “I think one of the fascinating things about both of our organizations is that we are trying to put ourselves out of business.â€?

Mr. Krieger’s goal is to eliminate all nuclear arms. He has written countless books, talked in front of many world leaders, all in the hopes of stopping wars and achieving peace. “David has shown that he can reach out around the world, speak on multiple continents, work endlessly for 37 years to bend history. That’s what we try to do, is just bend it a little bit,� Mr. White said. “It’s an honor to spend time with you to work with you to have watched all that you have done tirelessly generously. For those of you who know him personally, he’s just about the kindest guy on earth.�

Mr. Krieger was honored to win the award and explained that not enough people know about the continued threat posed by nuclear

weapons. “I think the Nuclear Age Peace Foundation is more needed than ever,â€? he said. “When we founded the Nuclear Age Peace Foundation, we had no resources, except our minds. our hearts, our hope and our commitment‌ Today we have 80,000 members throughout the world, helping create a world free of nuclear weapons.â€?

In 1980, there were roughly 70,000 nuclear weapons in the world. Today, there are less than 14,000 according to Mr. Krieger. “That’s a reduction of about 80% and it’s meaningful, but we still have a long way to go,� Mr. Krieger said.

He concluded with the importance of working toward peace, every single day. “Peace is a great gift for all humanity, and particularly to children. As far as working to achieve, I have no doubt the Nuclear Age Peace Foundation will continue this for many years to come and help achieve a more peaceful world and the abolition of nuclear weapons.�

The Santa Barbara Symphony is broadcasting another episode of its digital series “Sundays with the Symphony.�

Curated by music and artistic director Nir Kabaretti, the Sunday episode will feature performances by the Symphony’s current members, former guest musicians, alumni, and will also give an early taste at what fans of the Symphony can expect to see in a few weeks.

That sneak peek comes in the form of Broadway star Lisa Vroman, who played the lead role of Christine in Andrew Lloyd Webber’s musical “The Phantom of the Opera� on Broadway, as well as in San Francisco and New York City.

Rather than a number from her most famous Broadway role, during Sunday’s broadcast Ms. Vroman will perform a song from the musical “Kiss Me Kate,� in which she starred as Lili Vanessi with both Glimmerglass Opera and the MUNY Theater of St. Louis, according to her website.

However, she will sing numbers from “Phantom of the Opera� among other classic songs when she performs alongside the Santa Barbara Symphony’s opening night performance and fundraiser “Cabaret with Kabaretti� on Oct. 17.

In addition to the special guest Ms. Vroman, the latest broadcast will feature performances by musicians who have worked with the Symphony in various capacities. According to Symphony interim CEO Kathryn Martin, these musicians will include Canadian violinist and frequent guest artist Timothy Choi, playing what she described as “one of the hardest pieces� ever written for his instrument.

The “Sundays with the Symphony� series has made a point of highlighting students and alumni from its Music Education Center, as remote music education has become a huge focus for the organization while live concerts are delayed due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

Sticking with this, Sunday’s episode will have a performance by cellist and alumnus Rebecca Shasberger, daughter of Westmont

Current Symphony member and flutist Kathy Marsh will also perform, as will Symphony alumnus and violinist Calyssa Davidson and her husband

As Ms. Martin said, “We kind of go all over the world with Santa

Barbara connections.�

The livestream will begin at 3:30 p.m. Sunday and can be accessed on the Santa Barbara Symphony website, www.thesymphony.org.

In an effort to boost morale among middle school students who are navigating virtual learning, the Associated Student Body Leadership Club, members of the Parent Teacher Student Association and teachers held a Virtual Spirit Week and distributed Welcome packs to Santa Barbara Junior High students in a drive-through pick up celebration.

Each day this past week had a theme from the ASB Club, encouraging students to show school spirit and participate. They had “bring your pet� day, sports day, hat day, pajama day and school colors day.

Prizes were awarded to the most spirited homerooms, as well as the best-costumed individuals.

Then, Friday afternoon students drove by to pick up their Welcome packs from teachers and PTSA members. Each pack consisted of a branded face mask, water bottle, day timer, stylus, treats such as chips and candy, a note pad and a welcome note in English and Spanish, all inside a SBJH drawstring bag. “We know things aren’t the way they (the students) want them to be, especially for middle schoolers,� said Caroline Harrah, the president of PTSA. “Middle school is a transformative experience whether the kids know it or not, and a big part of it is socializing.�

Ms. Harrah has a son, Chase, who is currently in seventh grade at SBJH. She told the News-Press he “seems to be doing fine with remote learning, but it’s definitely not his preference.� “He was excited about flag football and those types of activities,� Ms. Harrah said. “This is supposed to be the time he’s branching out.�

Marilyn Garza, left, a science teacher at Santa Barbara Junior High, excitedly greets one of her students as she hands out Welcome packs to the students with assistant principal Kristin Lindquist.

However, this is the reason behind the spirit week and Welcome packs, and the PTSA president said they plan on rolling out other programs throughout the year to support the students in their new remote learning and connect with them. “We just wanted to send a message of encouragement and support,� she said.

James Koenig, the new principal of the school, said the drive-through pick up went “really well� and teachers, administration, staff and parents were amazed at the amount of cars coming through, which he said was “easily in the hundreds.� “It was a really wonderful way to celebrate the kids and their futures and end the week on a high note,� he told the News-Press.

The principal added that there

was great participation with spirit week as well. “It was a great way to build some culture and bond with some kids at least virtually,� he said. “Today was just the cherry on top.�

He said teachers and administration have been working and training to build confidence in the kids from home so they “feel more comfortable sharing� in Zoom classes. “It seems to be that it’s more intimate, interestingly enough,� he said. “It can be a little tricky for the kids at times.�

Mr. Koenig concluded saying staff and PTSA will continue to collaborate to support SBJH students. email: gmccormick@newspress.com

keep the environment safer. The school hired more staff to adhere to health guidelines and even advance those precautions.

On the first day, students decorated hula hoops to carry as a reminder of their six-foot bubble. They eat lunch outdoors and sit inside their hoops. A bag is attached to the hoops to hold masks while eating.

She was worried the masks would be uncomfortable for kindergarteners and asked parents to have kids practice wearing masks at home prior to the first day in class. “It’s amazing how adaptable and compliant they are,� she said. “Even if someone’s mask goes slightly below the nose, someone will say, ‘I can see your nose!’�

Headmaster Reed added, “Students and teachers alike, they see how important it is to stay safe and keep this learning environment alive.�

He heard sixth graders keeping peers accountable as he strolled down the hall. They reminded one another to space out and keep masks on in order to be able to remain in the classroom. “It’s gratifying, almost beyond description, to see how pleased the children are for being at school. This process has shown children, even the younger children, how important school is to them,� he said.

He was determined to open classroom doors to the students and is thankful the Santa Barbara County Public Health Department

made the process as smooth as possible, even responding to emails on weekends.

The class size of the Howard School made it easier to adhere to the small cohort guidelines.

In total, the school welcomed back nearly 70 students in preschool through sixth grade.

Students and faculty have been tested for COVID-19, according to Admissions Advisor Anita Betancourt.

Nonetheless, it was still a large undertaking to open up. “I think it would be very difficult for larger districts,� Ms. Gonzalez said. “I feel very lucky to

work in a smaller school that can open for its students.�

The school day isn’t completely back to normal. They used to teach 8:30 a.m. until 3 p.m., but now classes conclude around 1:30 p.m. “We can’t do P.E. yet, and it’s really hard for kindergarten to work that long without breaks and lots of play time,� she said.

But a slightly shorter day beats teaching through Zoom, she says, where her kindergarteners get frustrated and even leave during a lesson. email: ahanshaw@newspress.com

It’s about time Local math whiz creates line of clever clocks

By MARILYN MCMAHON NEWS-PRESS STAFF WRITER

S

kona Brittain’s enthusiasm for mathematics has led her to launch an unusual business -designing and making unique clocks at her home in Goleta.

She calls the latest one “Corona Time, the Covid Clock,” as a play on “Miller Time.”

Instead of numbers, the words “I don’t even know what day of the week it is anymore!” circle the COVID-19 symbol in the center.

“The 12-word sentence

marking the hours expresses how we are all feeling these days,” said Ms. Brittain. “These clocks don’t actually tell time -- they may be fast, slow, floppy or stagnant, which is why they are being sold at half price during the pandemic.

There is no second hand since we think silence is more important than the semblance of precision these days.

It was designed to be both humorous and comforting.”

Also available are The Music Clock with hours represented by musical symbols, The Carb Clock with each hour represented by pieces of fruit and carb counts,

and The Portraits Clock with gold-hued hands that feature diamonds and a heart.

“The Carb Clock is cute, but it is not my best seller. I think people don’t want to be reminded of how many carbs there are in the fruit,” said Ms. Brittain.

All models, which hang on the wall, come in 10-inch diameter size, suitable for homes and offices, and 14-inch for classrooms and studios. Prices begin at $40.

The business is called SB Crafts, which Ms. Brittain says, “People usually assume it stands for Santa Barbara. It does but it also stands for Skona Brittain and

my daughters, Shelly Brittain and Sandy Brittain.”

SB Crafts is actually her secondary company. Her primary one is SB Family School through which she does math enrichment for kids who love math.

“I really miss meeting with my students, which is probably why I’ve designed some new clocks,” said Ms. Brittain, who was born in Boston and earned her bachelor’s degree in physics and math at UCSB’s College of Creative Studies.

After attending Princeton University to study mathematical physics, she earned her master’s

degree in computer science at the University of Pennsylvania.

“I taught both math and computer science at various colleges before returning to Santa Barbara in 1986. When I had my children, I became involved in homeschooling,” said Ms. Brittain.

“More than 10 years ago, I started coaching math teams for my own homeschooled children and liked it so much that I have been doing it ever since. About the same time, I started developing SB Family School’s set of Creative Mathematics classes, which I taught in a variety of venues.

Several years ago, she helped

bring Math Circles to Santa Barbara. The only criteria for the group is that participants have to love math.

“They don’t have to be especially good at it. I do not make math fun. Math is intrinsically fun,” she said.

Guest speakers were frequently invited to appear at her Math Circles, and to show her appreciation, Ms. Brittain would present them with clocks she designed specifically for them.

“My first clocks were for engineers, professional Please see clocks on A6

have known up front that she hated me (not because of who I am, but because she didn’t want her oldest to ever leave). Would I still have married him? I think I would have, but I would have been prepared for the treacherous days ahead.

— Unprepared for the Treachery Dear Unprepared: You have my sympathy. When mothers-in-law from heaven were handed out, it appears you were assigned someone from as far south as one can get. She may be the reason that verse in the Bible about leaving and cleaving was included.

Your situation illustrates why it’s important for women — and men — to get to know the family of their intended before taking that trip to the altar.

P.S. Traditionally, women were considered to be the property of their fathers, which is why permission needed to be granted before they were “given” in marriage. The same was not true of sons.

Follow your instincts and have fun!

LIBRA — A virtual class or lecture of some kind could bring you exciting new information today, Libra. This could keep your mind buzzing for hours, particularly since you may also communicate with some interesting people with whom you can discuss this subject for hours.

Make the effort to take a walk and clear your head at some point during the day or else you might be too mentally charged up to sleep.

SCORPIO — A future journey may be in the works right now, Scorpio. Many changes have been occurring in your life for a long time, and they continue today.

They might involve group events or educational activities. This may be something you’ve anticipated for a long time. Your energy, enthusiasm, and excitement are high. You may be too restless to sit still. Try to get some exercise at some point.

SAGITTARIUS — A change in career could be in the works for you, Sagittarius. It might be within the scope of your current job or an entirely new one. It’s definitely a change for the better. Don’t let insecurity or an attachment to your current circumstances hold you back. Whatever opportunities appear at this time may not come around again for a long while.

Think about it carefully and then follow your heart.

CAPRICORN — An unexpected opportunity to go on a long journey, perhaps business-related, could come to you soon, Capricorn.

A partner might be involved.

Your enthusiasm may be almost boundless but remember that your physical energy isn’t. If you choose to travel right now, make sure you take necessary precautions.

Otherwise, have fun!

AQUARIUS — Too much hard work and stress could be taking a physical toll on you today, Aquarius. But it isn’t likely to stop you from working intently and energetically on a project that fascinates you. This enterprise could be personal or job related, but whatever it is, the turn it takes is apt to surprise you. It might not be anything like what you’d planned! Go to it!

PISCES — If you’re single, Pisces, today you could fall in love at first sight. A friend could send you someone’s contact information who shares your interests and with whom you’ll talk for hours.

This could make you feel happy.

You’ll certainly enjoy your day.

If you want to stay in touch, don’t be afraid to say so. Otherwise, you might lose track of your new friend.

HOROSCOPE

ARIES — Have you been considering working more at home, Aries? If so, today you might decide to do just that. An opportunity could pave the way for new jobs you could do at home, in your own space, among your own belongings. This could add to your sense of security. The only downside could be if you don’t make the effort, you might never leave the house. Be sure to get your workout in!

TAURUS — A conversation with a sibling or neighbor could lead to you making a new friend today, Taurus, probably someone who works in a creative profession.

If you’re currently romantically involved, this person could become your best friend. If you’re unattached, sparks could fly between you and him or her. You could talk for hours and part unwillingly. Exchange contact information. You’ll be glad you did!

GEMINI — Changes taking place at home could lead to more income, Gemini. Perhaps a new housemate moves in, reducing your housing costs. Or you might even consider moving to a new place, perhaps one that’s closer to where family members live or work. Whatever it is, it may not seem like much, but it should make a difference in your financial situation in the long run.

Go for it!

CANCER — A walk through your neighborhood could put you in the middle of an unexpected, interesting event, Cancer. It may be a small public gathering or an impromptu get-together, like a protest. Whatever it is, you could be transfixed by it. Make mental notes and then write down your impressions later.

LEO — Some books you’ve been reading lately might excite your desire to study astrology, numerology, alchemy, or some other occult science, Leo. This may not be something that you’d normally consider, but don’t let that hold you back. Your values have been shaken up lately anyway, so make the most of the impulse now.

It could transform you in a subtle way. Go for it!

VIRGO — Boredom might stimulate your rebellious streak today, Virgo. You could decide to forego your usual tasks and do something unusual or unexpected, such as skydiving or horseback riding. Don’t feel guilty if you decide to do this. We all need to throw caution to the wind and go +*#!2 +1$)"$ for some excitement occasionally.

Thought for Today

Horoscope.com Saturday, September 26, 2020

LIFE

Codeword is a fun game with simple rules, and a great way to test your knowledge of the English language.

Every number in the codeword grid is ‘code’ for a letter of the alphabet.

Thus, the number 2 may correspond to the letter L, for instance.

All puzzles come with a few letters to start. Your first move should be to enter these letters in the puzzle grid. If the letter S is in the box at the bottom of the page underneath the number 2, your first move should be to find all cells numbered 2 in the grid and enter the letter S. Cross the letter S off the list at the bottom of the grid.

Remember that at the end you should have a different letter of the alphabet in each of the numbered boxes 1- 26, and a word in English in each of the horizontal and vertical runs on the codeword grid.

Day celebrates early birthday by winning Pro Tennis Invitational

By MARK PATTON NEWS-PRESS SENIOR WRITER

Kayla Day brought enough competitive fire to the Santa Barbara Tennis Club on Friday to light up every candle on her birthday cake.

Day, who will turn 21 on Monday, shrugged off a toe injury and refused to let 18-year-old UCSB freshman Camille Kiss get a foothold while winning the womenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s singles championship at the $25,000 Central Coast Home Health and Hospice Womenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Pro Invitational. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll probably just celebrate on Monday with a nice night with my friends,â&#x20AC;? said Day, who was 9 when she took her first lessons at the club from Larry Mousouris. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It felt really good to be able to compete again even if it was a small event. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve played about a thousand matches over there on court 8, and probably about a hundred on this one. I feel comfortable here.â&#x20AC;?

Day swept Kiss 6-1, 6-2 on Friday for her fifth singles win in as many matches this week.

She also teamed with her WTA partner, Sophia Whittle, to capture the doubles title with a 6-2, 7-5 victory over fellow pros Lorraine Guillermo and Shatoo Mohamad.

She hadnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t played in a tournament since late February when she won two of three singles matches at the International Tennis Federation/USTA event in Las Vegas. The COVID-19 pandemic stalled her quest of rebuilding a WTA ranking that had risen as high as 122 in 2017. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s been nice being home, but Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m definitely sick of it,â&#x20AC;? Day said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve been traveling the world every week since I was 12 of 13, so itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s kind of crazy to be in one place for so long. â&#x20AC;&#x153;At first it was nice, but Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m definitely ready to get going again.â&#x20AC;?

Sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s submitted wild-card entries for several upcoming pro events in Texas, Oklahoma and Georgia. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve won that tournament in Macon, Ga., so going there would definitely bring back some good

Kayla Day, the 2016 U.S. Junior Open champion, made herself at home at the Santa Barbara Tennis Club on Friday by defeating Camille Kiss 6-1, 6-2 in the singles final of the $25,000 Central Coast Home Health and Hospice Womenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Pro Invitational.

memories,â&#x20AC;? she said.

Dayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s workouts at the Santa Barbara Tennis Club have been a productive stroll down memory lane. The seven-month break allowed her to strengthen a forehand which scored plenty of winners on Friday. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Last year I was really struggling with that,â&#x20AC;? she said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I worked really hard on it and Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m really liking how itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s turning out. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This break, there were some good aspects to it. I had a lot of time to work on my game and figure out the way I want to be playing, moving forward.â&#x20AC;?

Kiss, a five-star recruit that UCSB plucked out of Redlands, had upset Whittle 6-1, 6-3 in Thursdayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s semifinals. She also swept another WTA pro, Lorraine Guillermo, during pool play. â&#x20AC;&#x153;If Kayla comes off her game even that much,â&#x20AC;? Mousouris said, indicating an inch with his fingers, â&#x20AC;&#x153;and gives that girl time to hit that forehand, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s going to be hardâ&#x20AC;Ś You donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t know where itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s going, and itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s so hard and flat.

â&#x20AC;&#x153;Come off just 5-or-6% and give that girl just that much more time, and that many more looks with her forehand, and some of those games that were close couldâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve started going the other way.â&#x20AC;?

Kiss played clean through the first three games, holding her first service opportunity. But Dayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s unrelenting pressure forced Kiss into three unforced errors that broke her next serve, and the birthday girl never looked back. â&#x20AC;&#x153;She can hit winners from pretty much anywhere on the court so it was a really good test for me,â&#x20AC;? Day said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I had to stay focused the entire match. â&#x20AC;&#x153;If I let my guard down for a second, she was going to take advantage of that.â&#x20AC;?

Kiss also trailed throughout the entire second set. She did come close to earning a service break which wouldâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve pulled her even at 2-2, but Day pulled out one of the dayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s longest games and continued on her way.

She said itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s helped to have Mousouris back in her court, full-

time, for the last year. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s been such a help for me, especially mentally,â&#x20AC;? Day said, â&#x20AC;&#x153;just going back to where I came from and really discovering my love for the game again, and being around someone who knows me so wellâ&#x20AC;Ś We work well together.â&#x20AC;?

She burst onto the national scene in 2016 when she was just turning 17. She won a match in the main draw at the U.S. Open and followed that up by capturing the U.S. Junior Open two weeks later.

She also went three rounds at the 2017 BNP Paribas Open, beating Australian Open semifinalist Mirjana LucicBaroni along the way. But several injuries and a lingering bout of mononucleosis set her back the last two years. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It was a tough couple of years for me, especially being so young on the tour,â&#x20AC;? Day said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It was definitely a hard transition because when I first started in the pros, I was doing really well.

And then I kind of feel like I got a reality check. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t really know how to deal with it in the best way possible.

But I feel good now. It feels great to be healthy and be able to compete.â&#x20AC;?

Sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s especially learned how to deal with the nicks and pains of a pro athlete. She hurt her toe the night before Thursdayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s semifinal match against Uzbekistanâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Shakhnoza Khatamova, a sophomore transfer at UCSB who played No. 1 singles for San Diego State last year. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I ran my door over my pinkie toe and it just blistered up so badly,â&#x20AC;? said Day, who persevered for a 6-3, 1-6, 6-1 win. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I was in so much pain. Playing her, I didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t even know if I was going to finish the match. â&#x20AC;&#x153;But I actually played a really good third set, and itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s been doing better ever sinceâ&#x20AC;Ś Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s to a point where I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t feel it whenâ&#x20AC;?Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m playing because Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m so focused.â&#x20AC;?

And now sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s looking to get back on the road. email: mpatton@newspress.com

Wathne, Sigurd R.

Date of Birth - October 3, 1926 Date of Death - September 7, 2020

â&#x20AC;&#x153;Sigâ&#x20AC;? passed away peacefully in his sleep at his home in Santa Barbara, California, on the evening of September 7, 2020.

A retired Electrical Engineer, Sig was known as a family man, community volunteer and co-founder of Sikama International, Inc., which he and his son Kail started in the familyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s garage in 1982. Everyone liked to ask Sig about how they chose the name Sikama, which sounds like it has Japanese origins but it does not. He would proudly inform them that the name resulted from a clever combination of two letters taken from each of the three names of Sig, Kail and Mariellen (his wife), or Si-Ka-Ma. Sig came from a strong Norwegian heritage of both parents but was actually born in Los Angeles, CA and thus had dual citizenship. His family moved back to Mandal in Norway in 1933 during the Great Depression in order to find an easier life with family relatives. He survived the Nazi occupation of Norway during WWII, and as a young lad got his start in radio operation and served in the Norwegian Merchant Marines as a radio officer. He eventually made his way back to the states where he later met and married Mariellenâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;the love of his lifeâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;in California, with his career advancing in the direction of the radio electronics industry. Later they settled in Santa Barbara and together raised 2 boys, Kail and Jarl, while Sig worked with various companies in the industry, eventually breaking out on his own with Kail.

After enjoying the challenges of running a family business in the hybrid microelectronics industry for 32 years, serving as the President and CEO of Sikama, Sig officially retired in 2014 at the age of 88. Sig was also a Rotarian of 38 years and served on various Rotary, Elks, and Water boards throughout the community. He was a long time Ham Radio Operator and member of the local Amateur Radio Club. His grandsons have fond memories of their Grandpa Sig helping them build crystal radio sets and also how he magically transformed into being the perfect Santa Claus during Christmas timeâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;when he volunteered to suit up in red and white with his dashing white hair and beard.

Sig thoroughly enjoyed his family, participating in the Boy Scouts and the Seashells with his sons and later hosting many barbeques and pool parties not only for his local grandchildren, but visiting nieces and nephews from Norway with their families. He was immensely proud of starting a business with Kail and with Jarl becoming a ENT doctor with a successful medical practice back east. He went on to write a book he called â&#x20AC;&#x153;Sigâ&#x20AC;? and dedicated it to Mariellen, in celebration of their life together and 60 years of marriage.

Sig is preceded in death by Mariellen (2010). He is survived by his two sons Kail (Lori) Wathne and Dr. Jarl Wathne and grandsons Reese, Curtis and Garrett Wathne; and his brother Carl in Norway along with his many nieces and nephews and their children.

Because of Covid-19, no memorial is planned at this time.

OKAMOTO, Grace Hisako (Nakada)

Grace Hisako Okamoto(Nakada) passed away quietly at her home in Rocklin, CA, Thursday, September 10,2020. She is preceded by her father and mother Ginzo and Kagi Nakada; brothers Yoshio, Yoshinao, Saburo, Minoru, Henry, George, James, and sister Hannah; husband Masato Okamoto. And survived by brothers John and Steven; sons Richard and John and by her daughter-in-law Cary and granddaughter Karly. She was a much beloved daughter, sister, auntie, wife, grandmother, world traveler, cook, mochi cake maker, potter, fish print artist, basket weaver, and good friend to all. She was a creative soul who lived her life fully. Due to the coronavirus a celebration of her life will take place in the spring of 2021.

MITCHELL, Dr. Edward R.

Dr. Edward R. Mitchell of Victorville, formerly of Santa Barbara, passed away on September 15, 2020 after a short illness. He was born on October 8, 1941 in Los Angeles, California to Nicholas and Marie Mitchell and was the youngest of four sons.

In May of 1960, Ed married Sandra Harmon and they began a long and happy life together. They were blessed with two children, Kimberly and Jonathan, both of whom he loved deeply and he delighted in the life of his granddaughter, Ivy. At age 19, with his young bride by his side, Ed was sent to Germany where he served as an airplane mechanic in the United States Air Force.

He and Sandy enjoyed traveling in Europe while stationed in Germany. While in the Air Force, he found the saving power of Jesus Christ and dedicated his life in service to Him. When he and Sandy returned to the States, he enrolled in seminary at the Baptist Bible College in Springfield, Missouri and pastored at a nearby church in Galena. Following his graduation from seminary, he and Sandy moved to Santa Barbara in 1966 where they established Grace Baptist Church.

For over 46 years as the Pastor of Grace Baptist Church, he devoted his life to serving God and others. He began numerous successful ministries over the years and several missionaries were sent to the mission field from Grace Baptist Church. While being a full-time pastor, he earned two doctorates and spent much of his time counseling and ministering to those in need. He was a gifted speaker who had a way of delivering the gospel message in a way that touched hearts and changed lives. Many souls were saved and countless lives were changed during his time at Grace Baptist Church. In 2013, he retired from Grace Baptist but never retired from the ministry. He and Sandy moved to Victorville where they actively served at Bible Baptist Church where he led the Senior Sunday School class, served as a mentor and continued counseling.

He was preceded in death by Sandy, his wife of 58 years, his parents Nicholas and Marie Mitchell and brothers, Jim and Ted Mitchell. He is survived by his daughter Kimberly Mitchell and her daughter Ivy, son Jonathan Mitchell and his wife Annarose, brother Nick Mitchell and many extended beloved family members.

A memorial service is planned for 1pm on Saturday, September 26, 2020 at Bible Baptist Church in Victorville, 12626 First Avenue. For those who cannot attend, the service can be video-streamed. You can access the service by going to www.bbcv.org and clicking on â&#x20AC;&#x153;Click Here for Services.â&#x20AC;? Interment will be private.

In lieu of flowers, donations can be made to Bible Baptist Church and designated to â&#x20AC;&#x153;Missions.â&#x20AC;?

nature and listening to nature.â&#x20AC;?

He has a podcast called the â&#x20AC;&#x153;The Darin Olien Show,â&#x20AC;? available on iTunes, Spotify, Stitcher Smart Radio and Google Play Music. His website is darinolien.com.

Allen Construction CFO Lindsay Helmick brought sustainable ways to build homes and sustainable appliances to the table, listing off energyefficient replacements and electric alternatives, such as bamboo, showerheads with lower flow rates, electric stoves and LED lighting. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Construction is not always seen on the forefront of sustainability,â&#x20AC;? she said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It might seem intimidating, but what people donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t realize is itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s actually cheaper than you thought and itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s easy to get these materials. The cost benefit of more sustainable products is getting better and better.â&#x20AC;?

Romi Kadri is managing partner at Capella Partners, and brought a clean energy perspective to the discussion.

He pointed out that if 100 people shifted their electricity use from the evening to between sunrise and 3 p.m., it would eliminate 72,000 pounds of carbon emissions in a year. â&#x20AC;&#x153;When we think about clean energy, we often think about renewables, wind and solar,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Use energy when the sun is shining and you will make a massive difference.â&#x20AC;?

The symposium was recorded and will be posted on CARP Growerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s website, https:// carpgrowers.org/sustainability/.
