The comeback continues Former San Marcos golfer back in action six years after brutal attack

Reparations increased for Holocaust survivors By JOSH GREGA NEWS-PRESS STAFF WRITER

Former San Marcos High standout golfer Thayer White will tee off today in the first round of the Santa Barbara City Golf Championship at Muni.

By GERRY FALL NEWS-PRESS STAFF WRITER

As a golfer at San Marcos High, Thayer White was one of the best in the Channel League. He was the backbone of a Royals’ team for four years that enjoyed great success in and out of league play. Almost 10 years later, Mr. White is a scratch golfer today. He will take his game and competitive spirit into this weekend’s Santa Barbara City Golf Championship at Muni. “I’m very excited. I really enjoy competing, and living back in Santa Barbara now, it’s really fun seeing people who I know in the golf community,” he said. Mr. White will help make up one of the tournament’s largest championship-flight fields — one that consists of more than 90 players — when it all gets going today. Not only is Mr. White lucky to be playing in the annual tournament, he’s lucky to be alive. It was six years ago, on April 17, 2014, that he, along with another fraternity brother at Cal, were viciously attacked — hit over the head with a metal baseball bat by a man named Frank Paul Watson, who was later charged with attempted murder. Mr. White, who according to witnesses, fell to the ground like “dead weight,” was left with a traumatic brain injury, one that landed him in the hospital for 10 weeks. He has no memory of the actual event today. “It’s interesting, because that actual event, I don’t have any personal memories, but I feel like I’ve seen it because of talking to so many people about it. I have a picture that I’ve painted in my mind about what happened,” Mr. White said. “I view it as a blessing in disguise that I don’t have a personal memory of it. I actually don’t remember two weeks after the fact at the Intensive Care Unit. I have mixed emotions. I’ve seen the reports. I have close friends who will talk about it occasionally and it gets very emotional. It’s really interesting because I can see a picture of what happened and how it

Santa Barbara golfer Thayer White has made a complete recovery from a vicious attack six years ago that left him without the ability to speak.

affected me.” Mr. White had to regain his ability to speak, read and write. The injury was that severe. “The nature of my injury affected my cognitive abilities,” he said. “It wasn’t that I had to learn reading and writing and speaking all over again, but all of those abilities were at different levels. My main issue was actually my speech. Reading and writing came back much quicker to me, but speaking, that was by far the most frustrating aspect of my recovery. “I had to work with a speech therapist. I basically had tutors to help me. It was like going back to grade school. You have some ability to read and write in grade school, but

to polish that and try to go back to a college level, that was a challenge. That was probably the biggest challenge I’ve ever had to face.” The incident six years ago occurred at a party Mr. White’s fraternity was hosting. He along with several of his fraternity brothers were attempting to get rid of some unwanted guests, one’s who knew Mr. Watson. When they got outside, Mr. Watson got out of his car with a bat. “It just reminds you of how fragile life can be, but it also reminds you that you’ve got to bounce back,” Mr. White said. “Thankfully, I’ve had a normal life for quite a while now. I just have to attribute a lot of my recovery to my family and friends, who gave me a lot of support. “It’s something that I worked on for a long time. Thankfully, if I meet new people, they would never really know what happened. Occasionally I’ll make a mistake because I’m speaking too quickly or I can’t find the perfect word to describe a situation, but I’ve got to remind myself that the English language is probably the toughest language,” Mr. White added with a chuckle. Amazingly, he never lost his ability to play golf, although it was some time before he would tee it up again. The sport has been a huge part of Mr. White’s phenomenal comeback. “Golf became a very therapeutic aspect of my recovery,” he said. “Thankfully, my motor skills from the injury came back much quicker than my cognitive ability. Just a couple of months after the event, I was able to go play. “Golf is repetitive motion. It’s muscle memory, so golf was a perfect way to get away from this stuff. I go on the golf course with family and friends, it takes you away from a challenging time.” Mr. White will cast himself back into a challenging time this weekend, when he goes up against some of the best players in the state and beyond. email: gfall@newspress.com

Amid the hardships of the COVID-19 pandemic, the German government is expanding its compensation for Holocaust survivors around the world to $653 million. Payments from this sum will be made to survivors over the next two years. Jewish Family Services director Ruth Steinberg, whose work entails connecting Holocaust survivors living in Santa Barbara to local services and reparation payments from the German government, called this expansion “a step in the right direction” toward ensuring survivors are taken care of in their later years. “I think it’s a positive step. I think there’s an awareness that survivors are definitely aging,” Ms. Steinberg stated. In order to get survivors reparations and payments, Ms. Steinberg goes through the New York-based Conference on Jewish Material Claims Against Germany. Also known as the Claims Conference, the organization funds in-home care for more than 83,000 Holocaust survivors around the world to make their remaining days as pleasant as possible. The Claims Conference announced Wednesday on its website that the German government’s increased compensation and social welfare for Holocaust survivors is approximately $36 million more than last year’s. Under negotiations between the Claims Conference and the German government, victims eligible for the funds will get two supplemental payments of $1,400 over the next two years. According to the Claims Conference website, the payments will become effective as of Dec. 1. Germany’s government has agreed to expand the categories of Holocaust survivors to include

those who lived in “open ghettos” in Bulgaria and Romania. Ms. Steinberg told the News-Press that in her experience, getting Holocaust survivors the benefits that they need can be difficult because different compensations are for specific types of survivors. These include people who were in concentration camps, individuals who were on the run or hiding from the Nazis, or children who were forced to leave Germany on the Kindertransport. Recalling a time when she managed to get a local Holocaust survivor a large sum of money for dental work he needed done, Ms. Steinberg said another difficulty in securing compensations is the vast amount of required paperwork. However, she said the Claims Conference told her that the German government’s expanded benefits will consist of automatic payments to those who qualify for Hardship payments and increased funding for social welfare services that survivors can access through local agencies. Thus, little paperwork will be required. Because many survivors who were adults during the Holocaust have passed away, and those who were children are now in their 80s, Ms. Steinberg stated that now is the perfect time for Germany to expand the survivor categories and increase the reparation payments. “Time is running out for these survivors, so it behooves Germany to be doing this now,” she said. On top of that, elderly Holocaust survivors are in the demographic particularly impacted by COVID-19 restrictions. “Everyone is facing this challenge and when you are an aging Holocaust survivor, isolated in many cases, it makes your situation all the worse,” Ms. Steinberg remarked. email: jgrega@newspress.com

Vince Camuto pumps are among the items at the Junior League of Santa Barbara’s rummage sale.

Tenacious tradition Junior League’s annual rummage sale now online

By MARILYN MCMAHON NEWS-PRESS STAFF WRITER

F

or more than 80 years, the Junior League of Santa Barbara’s rummage sale has been an annual fall tradition. Hundreds of eager customers have lined up hours before the opening at Earl Warren Showgrounds to dash into the massive Exhibit Hall filled with thousands of items and scoop up choice merchandise at bargain basement prices.

Think men’s Armani suits for $50. Or Manolo Blahnik shoes for $25. Not to mention like-new furniture and priceless antiques for under $100. This year, when faced with the possibility of canceling the 84th event, the resourceful members of the organization, which trains women to be exceptional volunteers in the community, found an alternative: Poshmark, a virtual online selling site. Since Oct. 1 and continuing through Dec. 15, photos of numerous sale items are being posted online. In addition to women’s and men’s clothing, the

merchandise includes jewelry, baby items, shoes and much more. Offerings are continuously updated. “There was no way we were going to cancel the sale, which has been around so long and raises thousands of dollars to support our programs,” said Val Amparan, president. “These include S.A.F.E. House Santa Barbara for minor female survivors of commercial sexual exploitation and trafficSTOP Santa Barbara County to bring greater awareness about this problem. We also support other nonprofits in Santa Barbara that are aligned with the

SANTA MARIA — The major makeover of Russell Park is complete, and the property will reopen to the public when reseeded grass can withstand foot traffic. The nearly two-acre park is located on the southwest side of Santa Maria, at 1000 W. Church St., and has been undergoing improvements since June. The park is now equipped with new and improved amenities including a new playground, new restrooms, new energy-efficient lighting, water-wise colorful landscaping accompanied by a new and improved irrigation system, a decomposed granite trail, and upgraded concrete paths along with on- and off-site accessibility improvements, according to a news release. The lawn was recently planted from seed and will undergo an establishment period of 60 to 90 days. This establishment period allows the roots to mature so it can hold up to foot traffic. If this is a warm fall, Russell Park will open around Dec. 1. If the weather is cooler, and the grass takes longer to establish, the park will open in early January. Recreation and Parks Department staff will establish the opening day as soon as they are confident the grass can withstand foot traffic. Federal dollars in the amount of $625,142 were awarded from the U. S. Department of Housing and Urban Development’s Community Development Block Grant program. State dollars in the amount of $232,414 were awarded to the city through the HousingRelated Parks Program.

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.

Libra — Don’t let fear of failure or fear of success hold you back, Libra. Even though you may feel a natural tendency to want to shrink into the background and take the easiest route, you might be sacrificing your true purpose when you do. Become the leader instead of following the leader. Rid yourself of all fear and take control of your destiny. Scorpio — Powerful thoughts are running through your brain. You will find that this information can be transforming, Scorpio. The key is to learn from others and incorporate opposing viewpoints into your state of mind. Don’t automatically disregard the opinion of another just because it contradicts your own beliefs. Teamwork is the name of the game on a day like today. Sagittarius — Information coming your way today might be unreliable, Sagittarius. It could be hard for you to take a solid hold on the messages you get. Keep in mind that there are important answers waiting to be heard. These answers will come to you when you least expect them. Keep your mind open to new possibilities and the path will open up and become clear. Don’t compromise your consciousness with abusive substances. Capricorn — Be careful about being manipulated by another person today, Capricorn. It’s possible that someone is putting words in your mouth in order to get you to act a certain way. Don’t fall into this trap. Be your own person and think for yourself. Your mind is susceptible and vulnerable now. Use your eyes and ears as a filter and don’t let people unload their garbage on you. Aquarius — Information you receive today may get you stirred up, Aquarius. Remember that it takes two to start an argument. You play an equal part in any disagreement. If you want to promote peace and harmony, your words and body language must show this. If peace and harmony aren’t your ultimate goal, you may need to look inside yourself to explore the reasons why. Pisces — There’s a great deal of power to your words today, Pisces, so be careful how you use them. You may end up manipulating another’s choices if you aren’t careful with your conduct. Make sure you give others the freedom and empowerment to decide things for themselves. Be open and honest about all the facts that might influence their decisions in any way.

“Never do things others can do and will do if there are things others cannot do or will not do.� — Amelia Earhart

Aries — Answers may not be crystal clear today, Aries. They probably won’t be laid out in a neat and organized manner. Get out in the open air and join friends for a long bike ride. Fly a kite or feel the wind blow through your hair on top of a mountain peak. The answer is flowing through the air around you. Stop looking down at the ground for the information you seek. Taurus — Your head should be quite clear today, Taurus, and your witty comments will be met with appreciation and laughter. Your smile will delight everyone you encounter. Don’t be afraid to let your feelings out to those who need to hear them. Focus your energy on the ones you love. Your heart is warm and generous, so share it with other people today. Gemini — Don’t worry about probing too deeply today, Gemini. Trust people more than you normally would. You will find that things go much more smoothly if you approach them from a neutral or positive and not accusatory position. Listen to the people you care about the most. They’re trying to convey important information. You might not want to hear it now, but in the long run, it’s in everyone’s best interests that you do. Cancer — You might consider taking a short trip today, Cancer. Perhaps you need to get out of the house and go across town. Whatever it is, introduce your brain to a new reality. It’s time to expand and explore. You itch to see new places and experience new things, either physically or mentally. Perhaps a religious sanctuary or quiet place in grove of trees is what you need in order to quench this inner thirst. Leo — Your mind might be stimulated today, Leo, so stay alert and open to new information. If you feel tired, take a short nap. It’s better to operate at top speed and full capacity than go through your day only half present. Don’t rely on external stimulants like caffeine to pick you up. These things will deceive your body and do damage to your nervous system. Virgo — Communication is flowing smoothly today, Virgo, so take advantage of this and get the word out. It’s important for you to make connections with other people now. Run with your instincts and feel free to enter into debates. Your words and tone of voice are very convincing. You could sell anything to anyone today.

Wooden telephone poles replaced with large plastic poles By GRAYCE MCCORMICK

Reconstruction of Peabody Stadium enters final lap By MARK PATTON

NEWS-PRESS STAFF WRITER

Southern California Edison installed brand new plastic telephone poles Thursday in place of some old wooden ones in downtown Santa Barbara. The replacements in part reduce wildfire risk, and the plastic allows for increased durability and reliability. John McKinney, a Santa Barbara resident known as the Trailmaster who’s written 30 hiking-themed books, had a plastic telephone pole installed right outside his home in the 600 block of East Victoria Street. As co-founder of the Bungalow Haven Neighborhood Association, he challenged the idea of replacing wooden poles with large, plastic ones. “We’re in a historic district,� Mr. McKinney told the NewsPress. “These poles are incredibly ugly and big and out of character with the neighborhood.� He brought the issue to the city and reached out to SoCal Edison, citing the lack of notification from the company to the neighborhood, but nevertheless, the poles were planted in the ground. “We’ve worked very, very hard to establish a historic district and maintain these lovely little craftsman homes in the style that they were made which was between 1910 and 1920,� he continued. “So we think it’s a travesty that the utility, in the name of wildfire safety, is allowed to put in enormous plastic poles that are completely out of keeping with the neighborhood. We think that the money SoCal Edison allegedly is using for wildfire prevention could go to wildfire prone areas and not be sunk into plastic poles in downtown Santa Barbara where there is no fire risk practically at all.� However, David Song, a SoCal Edison spokesman, confirmed that the installations were and will continue to be necessary. First off, he told the NewsPress that the company does

not typically notify residents about projects unless there is a service impact. In this case, SoCal Edison did inform the neighborhood that staff would be “performing critical work on the electrical system in your area that will cause the power to be out temporarily� on Oct. 5. Secondly, while wildfire risk was part of the motivation to replace the poles, the previous poles in the area were deteriorating, which posed a hazard to the surrounding area. The poles in downtown Santa Barbara had extensive woodpecker damage. “When you have deteriorated poles and you have some type of failure, that could be a huge safety concern and would knock out power for a larger number of people,� Mr. Song said. “To prevent those kinds of things from happening, this is the best course of action. “Some people might say that it’s not as aesthetically pleasing, some people like composite more than wood. It depends on the

area and varies across service areas.� He said that when SoCal Edison has the opportunity to replace a composite (wooden) pole with a plastic one, they’ll do it every time. “We’re very mindful about balancing the safety implications for that deteriorated pole and replacing it with the composite and balancing that with the historical and cultural context preserved by a lot of our neighbors,� Mr. Song said. “Just having poles and wires up is something that people understand is one of the necessities of living a modern life and they live with it. “It’s safety, it’s reliability. You just don’t want any kind of equipment failure or pole failure in these areas, especially because these are denser and older areas,� he concluded. “These are preventative measures instead of waiting for something tragic to happen.� email: gmccormick@newspress.com

The reconstruction of Santa Barbara High School’s Peabody Stadium is finally coming full circle. Workers have begun laying down the track oval — the last major hurdle to completing the $39 million project. “The work began this week with the application of self-leveling material to eliminate even the tiniest imperfections,� said Steve Vizzolini, the director of Facilities and Modernization for the Santa Barbara Unified School District. “They are now working on the ‘D’s’ at the ends of the field where the shot put, high jump, and other track and field events are held, and on the beginning of the straight section for the 100-meter dash. “Following that will be the main track, and then striping.� The lanes are of alternating colors of olive and gold, which have long been the Santa Barbara High School colors. “We expect the track to be completed by the end of the month,� Vizzolini said. The remodeled stadium features a 2,300-seat, concrete grandstand and press box that add to the 1,110 aluminum seats that were added to the visitor’s side a quarter-century ago. The grass field has been replaced with synthetic turf. Other portions of the project include new lighting and sound systems, as well as storm drains to service the surrounding neighborhoods. A ground-breaking ceremony was held on Aug. 23, 2017 after the Foundation for Santa Barbara High School raised $5 million for the new stadium. More than 800 donors contributed. The remainder of the funding has come from Measure Q2010 bonds, developer fees and state seismic mitigation funds. The danger posed by earthquakes had made replacing the crumbling, old, concrete stadium a priority of school officials for many years. The original Peabody Stadium

was built in 1924 through a donation from Arrow Shirt mogul Frederick Forrest Peabody. Ironically, it was pressed into service just eight months after its completion when a 6.8-magnitude earthquake destroyed downtown Santa Barbara. A company of U.S. Marines that had been deployed to prevent looting bivouacked there for several weeks. In 1937, the stadium played host to its first California Interscholastic Federation Southern California championship football game in which Santa Barbara lost to Glendale, 15-14. The Dons, who have five CIF football titles to their credit, had to play last year’s CIF Division 8 final at San Marcos High’s Warkentin Stadium. The last football game at the old Peabody Stadium was played on Oct. 7, 2016. The COVID-19 pandemic forced the CIF to delay the start of its

Gallardo, Guerena in race to represent Area 3 SBCC

Continued from Page A1 standards. Up against Mr. Liechti is the incumbent Mr. Miller, who advocates for SBCC as a place that “aims to help every student succeed, especially students from disadvantaged, marginalized and underrepresented backgrounds, many of whom represent the first generation in their family to attend college.” He has been elected as president of the board twice, and in his time he led the process to hire a new superintendent/ president. Mr. Miller has experience with a national law firm, the Peace Corps, U.S. Congress and he served as U.S. Deputy Assistant Secretary of Refugee Affairs. In the race to represent the Area 3 spot in Santa Barbara is Veronica Gallardo and Erin Guerena. Ms. Gallardo has served the board for eight years, and said she’s running again because she remains committed to SBCC and its impact on the community. “SBCC offers a critical link between early childhood education, high school dual enrollment, career and technical education, higher education and life-long learning,” she said in her candidate statement. Running against her is Ms. Guerena, a lifelong Santa Barbara resident and a small business owner. She supports free tuition for all local high school graduates, and wants to see increased enrollment. “Owning a small business gives me the skills to understand budgeting, staffing and resource/ time allocation,” she shared in her statement. Ms. Guerena listed her top three priorities: keeping the SBCC community safe and prepared for COVID-19, guiding SBCC through economic

uncertainty and budget shortfall and improving the campus climate and restoring trust in leadership. Finally, for area 4 in Santa Barbara, Anna Everett and Celeste Barber are up against one another. Ms. Everett has spent nearly 30 years in California’s system of higher education, from being a first-generation college student all the way to Interim Associate Vice Chancellor for Diversity, Equity and Academic Policy. “I will bring my problemsolving experience and administrative background to help with College’s budget, and high-profile racist incidents that threaten the school’s critical mission of providing a quality education for all its diverse and underserved student populations,” she said in her candidate statement. She added that she will also address SBCC’s budget deficit and “assist the Board of Trustees and Superintendent/President Goswami with addressing the school’s challenges and embarrassment of riches.” Running against her is 20-year English Department teacher Ms. Barber. Ms. Barber implemented the Great Books Curriculum for SBCC students, earning a nomination for the Hayward Award for Excellence in Education. “Santa Barbara City College is now grappling with both the pandemic’s financial impact as well as lowered enrollment,” she said in her candidate statement. “The greatest challenge facing the Board of Trustees is the dire economic situation, while committing to the highest quality education within each of our many programs and for which the school is distinguished.” To learn more about the candidates, visit https://www. sbcc.edu/boardoftrustees/ trustee-elections.php. email: gmccormick@newspress.com

UCSB assistant appears on JEOPARDY! Aaron Ballett, an executive assistant to the dean of UCSB’s Gervitz School, appeared on JEOPARDY! Friday night. Mr. Ballett, who successfully answered the game’s first Daily Double to take an early $500 lead, had a $1,300 advantage at one point in the first round and took a $100 lead into Double JEOPARDY! He ultimately finished in second place to returning champion Kristin Hucek, who is an attorney in San Francisco. Also competing was MBA student Aanchal Ramani. Since he finished in second, Mr. Ballett won $2,000. While being interviewed by host Alex Trebek, Mr. Ballett was asked about his newly formed tattoo collection of national flowers of the countries and states he has visited. The UCSB

Margaret Jane Dyruff (née Stivers), age 92, died on October 7 peacefully at home of natural causes. She was born on December 27, 1927, in Ripley, Ohio to the late AJ Stivers II and Eliese Bambach Stivers. “Baby Jane” was the middle of five children, and was an active 4-H member and Girl Scout camper.

TODAY

SUNDAY

She attended Ripley High School and graduated in 1946 from Grier School in Tyrone, Pennsylvania, where she learned to solo pilot a yellow Piper Cub. She attended the University of Cincinnati, and at the request of her father, she joined a sorority. It was through Alpha Gamma Delta that Jane met her lifelong friend Erma Duppstadt.

In Montecito, Jane worked with the Channel City Club for nearly 20 years organizing community speaking events. She served as a trained volunteer with the M.E.R.R.A.G. (Montecito Emergency Response & Recovery Action Group), and during the 2008 Tea Fire she helped coordinate fire engines coming into Montecito from all over California to park at Lower Manning Park. On her 90th birthday, MTO firefighters joined in celebrating with her, much to her delight.

INLAND

Her life was adventurous and her passport full. She took solo trips to New Orleans and the Bahamas, vacationed with friends in Cuba and Hawaii, and travelled with the Committee on Foreign Relations to China, Russia, Georgia, and Cuba with the Art Museum, among other places. Most recent trips include an exploration of Giant’s Causeway in Northern Ireland and a theater tour of England with her family. At age 70, she gleefully added skydiving to her long list of exploits. Jane was a lifelong learner, and took lessons in jewelry-making and lapidary at Santa Barbara City College’s Continuing Education Division. Her projects included bronze busts of two grandchildren, a Jack-in-the-Pulpit carved from alabaster stone, and her son-in-law Jeff ’s wedding ring. She also attended master classes at The Music Academy of the West, and especially enjoyed the percussion courses. She was a proud docent at the historic Casa del Herrero for 25 years, which she helped shepherd to its landmark status. She led workshops, tours, and completed a years-long inventory project with fellow volunteer and friend Joyce Johnson.

INLAND

Jane was an independent woman up until the very end and instilled that sense of autonomy to her children and grandchildren. She was the matriarch of her family and the pillar of all holiday gatherings. Left to glean her lessons are daughter Victoria Harbison and her husband, Jeff, of Santa Barbara; and sons Bradley Dyruff and wife, Karen Roberts, of Montecito; Grant Dyruff and wife, Jill, of Montecito; and Whitney Dyruff of Lake Tahoe; and nieces Zua Stivers of Olympia, Washington, and Sheree Stivers of Portland, Oregon. Her beloved grandchildren Sarah Ashton and her husband, Jeff, of Goleta; Graham Harbison of San Francisco; Crosby Harbison and his fiancé, Allison Considine, of New York City; and Nicholas Dyruff and Lauren Dyruff of Montecito, will carry her memories onward. In her final days, family tended to her with hand holding and virtual serenades on the piano. Jane always said that “getting old is for the birds,” and that that’s why she put it off as long as she did. She left this world a better, brighter place.

Jane and Erma decided to move to San Francisco together in Jane’s green Pontiac, a wayward road trip that took them to Denver, Salt Lake City, and even to a bullfight in Tijuana, Mexico. In San Francisco, Jane met the late Robert Dyruff, the love of her life. The two were engaged after a six-month romance and their wedding was heralded as the most beautiful ceremony in Ripley. She raised four children and took in two nieces in their teens, which made for a very busy household. She often said she had no idea how she could cook for that many people every day! Her mac n’ cheese recipe became a family favorite, as did her chocolate birthday cakes.
