Fire hydrant sheered in crash

SANTA BARBARA The top of a fire

hydrant was sheered off, spewing a large amount of water onto the street and down a storm drain, in a two-vehicle collision Friday morning in the 100 block of East Pedregosa Street, authorities said.

The collision occurred around 7: 40 a.m. involving a GMC Yukon and Chevy Tahoe. One of the vehicles collided with the hydrant and “caused it to expel copious amounts of water”

and prompted to city’s Public Works staff to respond and shut off the hydrant, said Battalion Chief Robert Mercado, spokesman for the Santa Barbara City Fire Department.

Water service was restored after a time. Minor injuries were reported in the crash, Battalion Chief Mercado said.

Both vehicles sustained minor to moderate damage. The Santa Barbara Police Department is investigating the circumstances of the collision.

Fire hydrant THEPHOTOPROJECT sheered in crash A weekly News-Press series that will highlight our community through photos Cottage surveying on health needs SANTA BARBARA Cottage Health and community partners are asking residents who receive a survey phone call to participate in a community health needs assessment, offidals said Friday.

The survey is being conducted “to better understand the needs and strengths of the entire community, and the many diverse groups within it,” Cottage Health spokeswoman Maria Zate said in a news release.

Findings will help Cottage Health and community partners recognize the scope of population health concerns.

The assessment will include 2,500 telephone surveys, with calls to randomly selected cellphones and landlines. All responses will be confidential, and information collected will not be connected to names or phone numbers. Calls will begin the week of July 15 and continue through September.

In addition, later this summer the collaborative will gather feedback during a listening tour to hear from individuals and organizations regarding health-related needs in the community. The listening tour will include online surveys, group discussions, phone interviews, and visits to various community-based organizations.

The assessment collaborative includes Lompoc Valley Medical Center, Planned Parenthood California Central Coast, Santa Barbara County Public Health Department, Santa Barbara Foundation, Santa Barbara Neighborhood Clinics, and UCSB. Results will be available by the end of the year at cottagehealth.org.

A two-car collision at 128 E. Pedregosa St. broke a fire hydrant that gushed water down the street.

SANTA BARBARA The top of a fire hydrant was sheered off, spewing a large amount of water onto the street and down a storm drain, in a two-vehicle collision Friday morning in the 100 block of East Pedregosa Street, authorities said.

The collision occurred around 7: 40 a.m. involving a GMC Yukon and Chevy Tahoe. One of the vehicles collided with the hydrant and “caused it to expel copious amounts of water”

and prompted to city’s Public Works staff to respond and shut off the hydrant, said Battalion Chief Robert Mercado, spokesman for the Santa Barbara City Fire Department.

Water service was restored after a time. Minor injuries were reported in the crash, Battalion Chief Mercado said.

Both vehicles sustained minor to moderate damage. The Santa Barbara Police Department is investigating the circumstances of the collision.

Variety of speakers took part in demonstration PROTEST

Continued from Page A1 est in getting back to normal because normal was never good enough for me.”

A representative of Rep. Salud Carbajal, D-Santa Barbara, also spoke at the event, and said, “We are here today because we refuse to be complicit in the abuse of children and refuse to stand idly by while our American identity is being used to commit human rights abuses.”

The representative, a mother of two children, held back tears while speaking to the crowd.

After the Rev. Moore and the representative, several others followed to express their opposition against the centers along the border.

The last protest in Santa Barbara that addressed the detention facilities took place a year ago according to Michal Lynch of IAC. The last speaker to address the more than 100-strong crowd was bilingual. She taught the protestors the unity clap, which, according to her, represents a resistance movement’s slow but steady beat that builds momentum over time.

After explaining the symbolism and history of this clap, the crowd joined her and finished off the gathering.

The Santa Barbara Police Department was aware of the rally. Sgt. Brian Miller said the department monitored the situation but the protestors remained on the sidewalk and protested peacefully.

Work continues on Highway 101 widening CARPINTERIA The Santa Barbara County Association of Governments released an update Friday on next week’s work on the Highway 101: Linden and Casitas Pass construction project.

From Monday through Wednesday crews will be restriping lanes and moving concrete safety barriers to prepare for the next stages of work, according to a press release from SBCAG. Highway 101 will have alternating lane closures between Linden and Bailard avenues. One lane will remain open.

From 8 p.m. to 5 a.m. Monday through Wednesday, the northbound onramps at Casitas Pass Road and Linden Avenue will have alternating closures as needed. From 8 p.m. to 7 a.m.

Monday through Wednesday the southbound offramp at Casitas Pass Road will be closed as needed.

Via Real is closed from Casitas Pass Road to the old northbound Highway 101 onramp. Local residents have one-way access to Hales Lane on Via Real. Pedestrians can use the sidewalk on Via Real, but people are asked to refrain from entering the construction area.

The new southbound Highway 101 onramp at Casitas Pass Road is open and the temporary ramp has been removed.

The offramp at Linden Avenue is closed for approximately six to nine months. Drivers are asked to use the of-ramps at Reynolds Avenue or Casitas Pass Road to reach the beach and downtown Carpinteria.

Researcher suspects sea otters act as ‘a conveyor belt of nutrients’ OTTERS

The UCSB study on kelp growth involved the use of divers.

biomass is located, near the surface, Mr. Peters’ next study will explore whether other marine animals contribute to nitrogen levels in the kelp forest canopy.

Because sea otters forage for reef invertebrates and spend much of their time resting in the kelp forest, Mr. Peters suspects they act as “a conveyor belt of nutrients,” directly supplying their waste and urine into the canopy.

While the UCSB team’s collaborators at the United States Geological Survey have studied otter activity at monthly intervals for 13 years, Mr. Peters told the News-Press that he and his team will observe them on a “finer scale.”

That will entail recording how long the animals stay in the kelp forest canopy day to day, and using models to estimate how much they excrete. Whereas the invertebrate study covered five coastal locations, the upcoming study will focus on an area just south of Point Conception.

Sea otter populations in many other Southern California waters are still lacking in numbers, so it was necessary to select an area with a consistently sizeable population to determine whether or not the creatures have a significant impact on nutrient levels.

“Sea otter populations are starting to recover in Southern California and that is a stable population,” Mr. Peters said.

In addition to observing sea otters, Mr. Peters will lead a study that takes a closer look at spiny lobsters and

how their diet and the water temperature around them impact their nitrogen output.

According to the release, lobsters along with sea stars have an “outsized effect in shaping the ecosystem” because of their predatory nature. Because their diets contain more protein than other invertebrates, they release more ammonium and nitrogen-rich compounds in their waste.

The crustaceans gather together in dens during the day, which Mr. Peters suspects may result in more herbivores moving into the reefs if this leads to an increase in algae around the lobster dens.

Mr. Peters said he hopes to conclude the sea otter study by fall of this year. email: jgrega@newspress.com

program combines learning with having fun.

“We learned about owls and how when they eat their prey they cough up hairballs with the bones of their prey,” he said excitedly. He said he also enjoys studying math.

Nathan said the Olympic games are a highlight of his summer, a great opportunity to see old friends and meet new people.

“Everyone knows each other,” he said.

Nathan listed off a dozen new friends he made before he ran off to try the giant inflatable obstacle course, a favorite at the event.

Many of the students have participated in Fun in the Sun in the past, but newcomers are quickly welcomed into the group. Judith Figueroa, 11, said this is her first year in the program and said she wants to come back

next year.

“You get to do literacy, math, all kinds of stuff. My favorite part is recess or lunch. We get to do foursquare,” she said.

Like Nathan, Judith said her favorite activity of the day was the inflatable obstacle course.

“Everything we do at Fun In the Sun is really rooted in teaching the kids teamwork and confidence and working together in a collaborative setting. All of our games are embedded in that, that teamwork mindset,” said Ms. Cabrera, “Anything we can do to get them wet and dirty is perfect.”

Friday’s event was sponsored by the Brain Balance Center of Santa Barbara.

“They are very generous to lend their support to this event today and we’re very grateful,” said Ms. Cabrera. email: cwhittle@newspress.com

First Spirit of Fiesta: ‘You learn not to think of yourself, you learn to think of other people’ MARSHAL

Continued from Page A1 very morning. She added that her mother, an Italian immigrant and enthusiastic lover of Fiesta, would have been thrilled to see her chosen.

“I’m glad for my mother’s sake, because it meant so much to her,” she said.

Though she spent many years away from all Fiesta activities, Ms. Parker’s involvement with the festival has “bloomed” since 2013, when she reconnected with Old Spanish Days through her retirement home Gar-

den Court. There, she one day mentioned that she was the first Spirit of Fiesta and a woman at the home overheard her. That woman also happened to have a daughter who was that year’s Spirit, and through her Ms. Parker’s activity in Fiesta resumed.

Ms. Parker attended the April 13 auditions that ended with 16-year-old Sophia Cordero being named Spirit of Fiesta and 10-year-old Paloma Valenzuela chosen as Junior Spirit.

Back in 1949 the choice of Spirit of Fiesta wasn’t as organized. Spirits and Junior Spirits are now chosen a few months in advance of the event, but Ms. Parker wasn’t

told she would be Spirit until a few days before the parade.

“My mom said something like, ‘You’re going to be Spirit of Fiesta.’ It was like three days before the big parade. … They sprung it on me and I didn’t have a dress. I had to borrow a dress that belonged to an adult, and that was a huge deal for a 12-year-old.”

Suddenly thrusting Ms. Parker into activities seemed to be her mother’s nature.

Ms. Parker credits her mom for not only getting her involved in Fiesta, but dancing in general. After Ms. Parker suffered a broken leg that refused to properly heal, her mother placed her in dance lessons to

strengthen it.

“She felt that instead of hiding away and just favoring it, that exercise would help,” Ms. Parker recalled.

Ms. Parker looked back fondly on her time as Spirit and said dancing in the parade was fun but challenging. Though not a major aspect of the parade today, Ms. Parker said that military bands used to be a prominent part of the event and that she even danced with one behind her. Flamenco dancing to military band music wasn’t easy and for a second she thought, “Oh no, this isn’t possible,” but she let “common sense” and her “positive will” take over to meet the chal-

lenge.

“You think, ‘I’m here to give the best I can,’ and you just make yourself strong,” she said.

While being Spirit of Fiesta was fun while it lasted, this giving of oneself to make others happy is what Ms. Parker still carries from that experience.

“You learn not to think of yourself, you learn to think of other people… You really are a symbol for something and it just forces you out of your own little cubby hole, and that’s very important to anybody,” she said. email: jgrega@newspress.com

An incredible care basket & an unforgettable Sweet 16 Fire hydrant sheered in crash

SANTA BARBARA The top of a fire hydrant was sheered off, spewing a large amount of water onto the street and down a storm drain, in a two-vehicle collision Friday morning in the 100 block of East Pedregosa Street, authorities said.

The collision occurred around 7: 40 a.m. involving a GMC Yukon and Chevy Tahoe. One of the vehicles collided with the hydrant and “caused it to expel copious amounts of water”

and prompted to city’s Public Works staff to respond and shut off the hydrant, said Battalion Chief Robert Mercado, spokesman for the Santa Barbara City Fire Department.

Water service was restored after a time. Minor injuries were reported in the crash, Battalion Chief Mercado said.

Both vehicles sustained minor to moderate damage. The Santa Barbara Police Department is investigating the circumstances of the collision.

FROST, Robin

Musician, composer, 1930-2020 Robert Tuttle Morris Frost was born in Washington, D.C., son of Eugenia and Frank Frost, Sr. The family moved to Palo Alto, where he completed his education.

Robin started picking out tunes on the piano at four years old and by ten he could play Chopin from the music and popular songs of the day by ear. It became obvious that his life would be that of a musician and composer.

Robin studied classical composition with Erich Zeisl, an Austrian composer who had found refuge in Hollywood, and learned jazz and popular music jamming with local garage bands. After service in the Navy during the Korean War Robin worked in clubs in Los Angeles for several years, then moved to Santa Barbara where he lived and worked the rest of his life. Besides playing in clubs like the Plow and Angel and Olive Mill Bistro, Robin became active as a music teacher at Marymount and St. Anthony’s Seminary. He had a close affiliation with the Santa Barbara Symphony all his life, culminating in performances of his violin concertino “Opus One” and Piano Concerto in E flat.

Robin died on March 25 from complications of pneumonia. He is survived by his wife of fifty-nine years, Kathleen Ryan Frost, and his brother Frank. No services are planned. Gifts in his name may be made to the Symphony.

KILMINSTER, Barbara Ann March 1, 1932 - March 23, 2020

It is with the deepest sadness that her family announces the passing of Barbara Ann Kilminster: beloved wife, mother, grandmother, great-grandmother and motherin-law.

Barbara was born in Los Angeles, CA to Helen (Anderson) and Ellis Cravens. The family moved to Carpinteria when she was a toddler, and she spent her childhood living at her mother’s family ranch off Casitas Pass Road. Her Father’s family, the Cravens, were among the first to settle in Carpinteria in 1868.

Young Barbie Cravens, an only child, spent many hours on the ranch with her animal friends. She rode her Shetland pony deep into the mountains, until one day after it bucked her off and she vowed never to ride again as she made the long walk home. She would also hide her favorite chickens so she didn’t have to eat them for dinner. She would rescue baby birds who fell from the walnut trees, and nurse them back to health.

It was a passion she would continue for the rest of her life.

Barbara attended Carpinteria schools where she was involved in academic and social groups. She was Russell Cup Queen and a cheerleader for Carpinteria High School sporting events. She attended UCSB on the Riviera Campus where she met and married a fellow student, Harold Kilminster. She graduated from Santa Barbara Business College and worked as a secretary for Seaside Oil Company. She also volunteered at Santa Barbara Cottage Hospital as a Pink Lady, escorting visitors to patient rooms.

Barbara is survived by her loving and devoted husband of 66 years, Harold. She is also survived by her daughters Panda, Tami, Beryl (Schoenfelder), Heidi (Jackson), son-inlaw Dennis Schoenfelder, grandchildren Coryl (McGrath), Amanda, Ashley, Rob, and Hayden, and her great grandchildren Jayden and Ferris. The family would like to thank Dr. Karen DaSilva, whom Barbara adored, as well as the staff at Cliffview Terrace for their loving care, especially Ruby, Concha and Lisa. The family plans to honor Barbara with a memorial service at a later date. Donations can be made in Barbara’s name to the Michael J. Fox Foundation for Parkinson’s Research.

“Unable are the loved to die. For love is immortality.” -Emily Dickinson

MOTTEK, Carl Theodore

Carl Theodore Mottek was born to Dr. Felix and Kaethe Mottek in Breslau, Germany in 1928. He passed away peacefully on Sunday, March 29, 2020 at the age of 91 in Dallas, Texas. His family emigrated to the United States during the 1930s and joined relatives in Youngstown, OH. He graduated from Cleveland Heights High School in 1946 and postponed college to join the United States Marine Corps. After serving with the 1st Marine Division in North China, he attended Michigan State University, where he was a campus leader and recipient of numerous honors, graduating from the School of Hotel Management.

In January 1952, Carl moved to Puerto Rico and joined the Caribe Hilton, where he met the love of his life, Joan, and began a distinguished, life-long career with Hilton Hotels. With his love of Food and Beverage and Hotel Operations, he advanced through the company for 42 years and helped create dynamic, trend setting restaurants, first class lodging establishments and entertainment venues.

Carl attended the prestigious Advanced Management Program at Harvard Business School in 1984 before beginning his tenure as President, Hilton Hotels Division, and member of the Board of Directors in Beverly Hills, CA. In 1994, he retired and settled in Santa Barbara, CA. Carl served on non-profit boards including the Santa Barbara Museum of Art, Casa Dorinda, Ridley-Tree Cancer Center and was President of Birnam Wood Golf Club. In 2011, Carl and Joan moved to the Edgemere, in Dallas, TX. Carl cherished traveling and time spent with family and friends, especially on his boat, the Kona Kai in Chicago and Atlanta, and playing golf with his children and grandchildren in Santa Barbara. Carl was a devoted husband, a generous father and respected business leader, an optimistic man of unquestionable integrity and character, a wise and caring friend who positively impacted those who knew him.

He is survived by his wife Joan, his source of strength and support for 67 years. He will be lovingly missed by his three children: his daughters Gwen Mottek Longino of Dallas; Lynn Mottek Clayton and her husband Steve of Houston; his son Peter Mottek and his wife Mercedes of Boca Raton, FL. Carl and Joan have six grandchildren and one great-grandchild: Beau Longino of Dallas; Libby Longino Cohen, her husband Jake, and son Micah of Austin; Brittany Clayton Friedberg and her husband Stephen of San Jose, CA.; Alan Clayton and his wife Becca of Houston; Dominique Mottek Neto and her husband Pedro Neto of Dallas and his namesake Carl Mottek, II of Dallas.

A private family service will be held in the near future. If you so choose to make a donation, please consider The Salvation Army, North Texas Area Command, P.O. Box 36006, Dallas, TX 75235 or give.salvationarmytexas.org.

DUBBELS, George Lowell George passed away March 14, 2020 at the age of 100.

He was born in Little Falls, Minnesota on November 7, 1919.

George, at the age of 8, with his mother and sister, moved to Dallas after the passing of his father. Upon finishing school, he joined the Navy and served in the South Pacific during World War II. George moved to Santa Barbara in 1953. He met the love of his life, Dorothy, at the First Presbyterian Church, then located on Anapamu Street. They were married there in June of 1960. From that day forward, they were lifelong, active members. George was a pillar of the Chancel Choir for many years. His passion in life was music and singing as evident by the entertaining shows he would lead, even beyond his 100th birthday.

George spent 25 years with Ingram Paper Company located on Salsipuedes Street. To stay busy in retirement, he worked for Raytheon and the County of Santa Barbara.

George is survived by his son and daughter-in-law, Lowell and Laura, and grandson, Brendan.

George’s family would like to thank the entire staff at Vista Del Monte where he called home for many years. They also are so grateful to everyone at the Valle Verde Health Facility for the excellent care and love that was always shown to him.

A celebration of George’s life will take place in the near future at Valle Verde

GONZALES, Arthur

Art Gonzales, 87, passed away unexpectedly on Monday March 23, at Cottage Hospital. Art was born in Ventura, CA and raised in Goleta. He was a devoted husband, father, grandfather and great-grandfather.

Art was a proud Marine, having joined the United States Marine Corps in 1951, serving in Korea. He separated from the service in 1954 at the rank of Sergeant.

Art met the love of his life Shirley in 1954, and they were married in June of 1955. They settled in Ventura after Art received a promotion with Pepsi Cola. They had two sons while living in Ventura; Steven (Lisa) and David.

They moved back to Santa Barbara in 1960 after Art was offered a job with Frito-Lay snack foods. Art continued with Fritos for 32 years and retired as a District Sales Manager. He was very proud of the relationships he had with the numerous grocery retailers in Santa Barbara County, as well as the salesmen he trained and supervised over the years. Art was very well respected for his professionalism and attention to detail, having built numerous product displays in their stores. Many a retailer would later comment that Art, even on his day off or in retirement, could not walk past a display without straightening and fluffing up the merchandise on the racks so it looked perfect for the shoppers.

Art’s greatest love was for his family and he boasted with pride about the successes of his wife and two sons. Whatever interests his sons had he fully supported, be it adult softball leagues Steve was in, or Ironman triathlons that Dave raced. He and Shirley would travel wherever his boys were, in order to support them in their endeavors. He was also extremely proud of his garden, taking great pride in manicuring his lawn and yard, where a stray weed or out-of-place lawn blade could never be found!

Art is survived by his loving wife of nearly 65 years, and his two sons. He is also survived by his brothers Leonard, David (Brother Leo, OFM), Videll, Jr., and sister Mary Alice, as well as grandchildren Edward Gonzales and Chelsey Gold, great-grandchildren, and numerous nephews, nieces and cousins. Art was preceded in death by his parents Justina and Videll Sr. and two brothers; Gilbert and Henry.

A Celebration of Life and Memorial for Art will be announced in the future.

KENNEDY, Victoria Jane April 16, 1939 – March 25, 2020

Victoria (Vicki) Kennedy died peacefully in her home at The Samarkand Covenant Living Community after a very short illness. She was born on April 16, 1939 to her parents, Oscar L. Matthew, and Laverne Manning Matthew. Growing up in Tustin and Huntington Beach she had a taste of small town farm life that included participating in 4-H and raising goats along with cooking and sewing projects.

After graduating from Fullerton High School she attended Long Beach State College and UCSB. Her career was centered on banking, where she met her future husband, John H. Kennedy.

They married in 1970, and in 1972 had their daughter Karen Anne Erickson (Jason), and was gifted with four step children: Bruce Laurence (Julie), Bryan Donald (Tamie), Brent Peter, and Jill Amy Davis (Mark). Subsequently she became a grandmother to six and a great grandmother to four.

Her many activities included PEO, Chapter IJ, member of Christ the King Episcopal Church for 50 years, played clarinet in the Prime Time Band, and member of the Symphony League where she participated with the Music Van and Concerts for Young People.

Traveling was a major part of life for Vicki and John with numerous trips to Europe, Africa, Southeast Asia, China, India, South America, Australia, Antarctica, all 50 states and most National Parks in the USA. A sabbatical leave experience was living in Japan for 4 months.

Vicki and John moved to The Samarkand in 2011 where they made many new friends and took on new activities. Of special note was Vicki’s management of the Samarkand Gift Shop for several years.

Vicki was predeceased by her parents and brother David. She leaves behind her loving husband, family, and many cousins plus numerous friends in the Samarkand and Christ the King communities. In lieu of flowers, contributions in her name may be made to Christ the King Episcopal Church or to Direct Relief. No services are planned at this time but will be announced later this year.

Dorothy “Dottie” Westwick died peacefully in her sleep on March 31, 2020 after a long and stoic struggle with kidney disease. She was born on June 24, 1931 in Gary, Indiana to William and Florence Keirn. Growing up in the Great Depression taught her resilience, but she had happy memories of summers on the family farm in Marshall, Missouri.

The family moved to Upland, California in 1946, where her father helped build the Kaiser Steel plant in Fontana.

She graduated from Chaffey High School in 1949, and she attended Chaffey College for one year and Missouri Valley College for a year, and then the Santa Barbara campus of the University of California. At UCSB she was a member of the Pi Beta Phi sorority and graduated with a degree in English literature, and she then earned a masters degree in English from Stanford. In 1955 she married Robert J. (Jim) Westwick, whom she had met at UCSB. They lived for a year in Germany while he served in the U.S. Army and then in San Francisco, before returning permanently to Santa Barbara in 1959. They had three children: Anne, John, and Peter. Dottie studied and taught court reporting at SB Business College, and then worked for many years as a medical transcriber at the SB Medical Foundation Clinic. For over two decades she enjoyed the companionship of Allen Michelet and, more recently, Ted Baum.

Dottie was a remarkably independent woman. Over two summers when her children were small she loaded them in her VW squareback and drove the length of Mexico with their close friends, the Day family from San Diego. As a single mother working fulltime, she often sacrificed her own interests to raise her children.

Dottie had a sharp intellect and a lifelong love of learning. She was a great storyteller and a keen reader and writer, and her love of literature no doubt contributed to her perceptive understanding of human nature. She also loved music; she was an accomplished pianist and was a regular attendee of the SB Symphony and the Music Academy’s summer sessions. She liked to travel, especially to France. She was an excellent cook and her kitchen was a regular way station for all her kids’ friends. She was a longtime member of the Junior League of Santa Barbara and a devoted parishioner at All Saints Church for over fifty years.

Above all, Dottie was social. She loved nothing better than a backyard barbecue, with family and friends sharing talk and laughter.

Dottie is survived by her brother Don Keirn (Christine) of Hailey, Idaho; children Anne Westwick (Christopher Dolder) of Dallas, Texas, John (Elizabeth) Westwick of SB, and Peter (Medeighnia) Westwick of SB; and seven grandchildren. A celebration of her life will take place at a later date.

MANNON, Robert (“Bob”) Wilford

(Age 92) Of Santa Barbara, California, passed away peacefully on March 10, 2020, at his daughter’s home in Arlington, Virginia, surrounded by his family. Born in Los Angeles in 1927 to Alfred and Marion Mannon, he was a graduate of Los Angeles High School where he was a starting center on the football team. He served in the Navy at the end of World War II and was stationed on the cruiser USS Dayton. He attended Stanford University, where he was a member of Delta Kappa Epsilon. After receiving a degree in Petroleum Engineering in 1950, he began a career that spanned 70 years in the oil and gas industry. He was a respected expert and author in the field of petroleum reservoir engineering, enhanced oil recovery and oil and gas reserve estimation, receiving both his master’s degree and his doctorate from the University of Southern California. His career took him to the oil fields of the Sinai Peninsula in Egypt where in 1954 he married Dorothy Simpson of Los Angeles in Cairo. Bob and Dodie resided in Cairo, Egypt; Los Angeles; Butte, Montana; Houston, Texas, and finally settled in Santa Barbara at Hope Ranch. He worked worldwide for several major and independent oil companies, including Gulf Oil, Buttes Oil & Gas, Allied Chemical, Ogle Petroleum and held professorships at Montana College of Mineral Science and Technology, the University of Southern California and Louisiana University - Lafayette.

In 1983 he founded Mannon Associates where he created a software program for oil well decline curve analysis that offered a revolutionary approach to reservoir engineering and reserve estimates. He also served as an expert witness and arbitrator, including a successful offshore California case tried in Washington, D.C. In addition to his love of engineering, he participated in several Bible studies in Santa Barbara and was a member of Bel Air Presbyterian Church in Los Angeles, Memorial Presbyterian in Houston, and El Montecito Presbyterian in Santa Barbara. He was a member of the Santa Barbara Rotary Club, the Christian Business Men’s Connection, and the Society of Petroleum Engineers. His love and knowledge of old movies came from his visits to his father’s TecArt movie studios in Hollywood on the site of what is now Raleigh Studios. His family will fondly remember his love for his family, his faith, his story telling, and his love of writing poems for important family celebrations. He is predeceased by his loving wife Dodie and his brothers William Mannon and Alfred Mannon. He is survived by his four children, Robert Mannon (Amy) of McLean, Virginia; Jan Coles of Arlington, Virginia; David Mannon (Mary Lynn) of Houston, Texas; Mark Mannon (Jennifer) of Newport Beach, California and his ten grandchildren, Seth Mannon, Emily Mannon Godinho (Alex), Connor Mannon, William Mannon, Caroline Mannon, Morgan Mannon, David “Bo” Mannon, Joseph Mannon, Mary Louise Mannon, and Charlie Mannon. A memorial service will be held at El Montecito Presbyterian Church in Santa Barbara at a date to be announced this summer. In lieu of flowers, contributions may be made in his name to Threshold Ministries of Orcutt, CA or The Mannon Family Fellowship Fund at the School of Earth Sciences at Stanford University (giving.stanford@stanford.edu). Online condolences may be left at Welch-Ryce-Haider.

MULLANEY, Thomas P.

Thomas P Mullaney passed away on March 16, 2020 in Santa Barbara, CA. Tom was born in Bethel, CT in 1933.

Tom graduated from the University of New Hampshire in 1954 with a degree in Civil Engineering. During a visit to Peach Lake in New York, he met and eventually married the love of his life, Carol Ann Sweeney of Danbury, CT. After serving as an officer in the United States Air Force stationed at Whiteman AFB in Sedalia, MO, he and Carol moved to Boston, where Tom earned his MBA with Distinction from Harvard Business School in 1959.

Tom’s business career spanned more than 40 years. After graduating from Harvard, he started work at McKinsey and Company in New York and went on to become a Partner. Later in his career, Tom served as the President and Director of a number of major international corporations including Wilson Sporting Goods, Dart Industries, The Olga Company, and Softsel Computer Products. Among his many accomplishments, Tom was always proud of being the mastermind behind creating the first yellow tennis balls while at Wilson Sporting Goods. However, he was always quick to add in his typically self-deprecating way that he was also the father of the yellow golf ball, “eight million of which are buried in a landfill in Kentucky.”

Tom served as an outside director for a variety of companies including Breuner Home Furnishings, Bristol Farms, Crocker National Bank, Ducommun, Financial Corporation of Santa Barbara, General Housewares Corporation, Lear Siegler, Lucas Arts Entertainment Company, Lucas Digital Ltd., Merisel, Inc., Reliance Electric Company, Sunglass Hut, The Santa Anita Companies, and U.S. Borax.

Charitable activities were a huge part of Tom’s life. He helped countless charitable organizations throughout his life including the Mental Health Association of Santa Barbara, Upward Bound House, and Union Rescue Mission. He was honored to serve as a Trustee for Tuskegee Institute, The Santa Catalina School, and Providence St. John’s Health Center Foundation, where he was appointed a Lifetime Trustee.

When not busy with his business pursuits, Tom could always be found on one of his favorite golf courses telling many of his classic “Tom Mullaney” stories. Tom combined his love of the game with his business acumen when he served as President of The Los Angeles Country Club. Tom also enjoyed traveling and playing his favorite card game “98 and Holding” with family and friends.

Despite his distinguished career, the most precious assets in his life were his family and friends. Tom lived his life by a set of principles that guided everything he did. He was a mentor to many but a friend to all. If you asked anyone who knew Tom - whether it was a business colleague, a friend or the person serving him his favorite burger at the Habit – they would all tell you the same things: Tom was kind, generous, witty, and made you feel like you were the most important person in the room. He was truly a “people person”. He will be greatly missed and forever loved by his family and friends.

After 56 wonderful years of marriage, Tom was preceded in death by his one true love, Carol Ann Sweeney. He is survived by his beloved children, Thomas Mullaney (Amelia), Michael Mullaney (Carolyn), Beth Mullaney Johnson, Kate Mullaney Barry (Stephen) and nine grandchildren.

“You only go through life once, but if you play it right, once is enough. Have fun!” And that he did!

A Special Celebration of Life will be planned later in the year (details to follow).

In lieu of flowers, the family asks that donations be directed to Providence St. Johns Hospital Center at htttps://stjohnsfoundation.org or the Mental Wellness Center of Santa Barbara at https://donate.mentalwellnesscenter.org

She was one of the original Founders of the Goleta Valley Girls Club and she and her husband were voted Goleta Man & Woman of the year in 1966.

In her later years, she continued to serve in her church and was a volunteer for the Arthritis Foundation, Goleta Valley Hospital Auxiliary, and Goleta Valley Community Center.

Our father, Alfred McClure Clark, Jr. passed away on March 29, 2020 in the arms of his loving wife of more than 68 years, at their home in Rincon Point, a beach he loved.

Dad was born May 18, 1922 in Cleveland, Ohio to Alfred M. Clark and Jeannette Smith Clark. He and our uncle Johnny grew up with our grandparents and our great-aunt Siddie, in Youngstown, Ohio, while spending time in Coconut Grove, Florida, and in Tucson, Arizona. He attended Western Reserve Academy in Hudson, Ohio and Yale University.

His time at Yale was interrupted by service in the Army Air Corps during World War II, in Panama, the Philippines and New Guinea.

Returning from the Pacific after the war he completed his bachelor’s degree in economics at Yale. On January 26, 1952 he married our mother, May Julia Campbell, and together they raised their family, moving as a result of his career as a sales executive from Youngstown to Bronxville, New York; Riverside, Connecticut; Ladue, Missouri; and eventually settling down in San Marino, California. Mom and Dad moved permanently to their home at Rincon Point in Carpinteria in 1992. Dad loved all sports, but most of all he loved being with his family, swimming and body surfing in the Pacific Ocean and reading, at the beach or wherever he happened to be. He is survived by our mother, his wife and best friend, Judy, and their children Julie Burge (Jim), Al III (Sue), Jennie and Dave (Angelica), their grandchildren, Andrew (Caitie) and David (Janessa) Burge, John (Lorelí), Stevie (Jackie) and Janie Clark, and Alexandra and Natalie Clark, and their great-grandson, Mateo Campbell Clark. Dad was a force of nature, a man of strong opinions, forcefully expressed with his ever present sense of humor and kindness, even for those with whom he disagreed. We are fortunate to have been raised by Dad and Mom, experienced their partnership and love, and we know Dad will continue to be an important part of all of our lives. Our thanks go to Senior Helpers in Santa Barbara and Hospice of Santa Barbara for helping Mom care for Dad the past six months. In lieu of flowers, donations can be made to VNA Health Foundation, 509 E. Montecito Street, Suite 200, Santa Barbara, California 93103.

Nature’s waiting for you

By DAVE MASON NEWS-PRESS STAFF WRITER

D

id you hear that?

Look up to the great blue sky, and you might spot the source of that distinctive

screech.

It’s the red-shouldered hawk, a common sight above the forested backyard of the Santa Barbara Museum of Natural History.

The museum and its Sea Center on Stearns Wharf are closed during the COVID-19 pandemic.

But the museum is still teaching people about the red-shouldered hawk and more at SBnature From Home, an expansion of its website.

The site, sbnature.org/fromhome, features everything from stargazing advice to kid-friendly guides for watching birds and learning about critters in youths’ backyards.

The site is a logical expansion that came about when the museum’s and Sea Center’s closure on March 14 allowed staff more time for behind-the-scene projects, Luke Swetland, the museum president and CEO, told the NewsPress.

“We really could double down on it and say we have amazing content that we’ve developed in conjunction with exhibits, research, summer camps and school trip visits,” Mr. Swetland said.

He noted the website allows everyone to stay in touch with the museum and find activities they can do while they’re required to stay at home.

“We see the museum as a way to prepare you to explore nature,” Mr. Swetland said, urging people to get outside while maintaining social

“We see the museum as a way to prepare you to explore nature itself,” said Luke Swetland, president and CEO of the Santa Barbara Museum of Natural History.

distancing. Health officials want people to stay at least 6 feet away from each other.

“Right now, being outside in nature, as long as you’re smart about it, is an incredibly great way to get out of the house, observe the world around you and get some exercise,” Mr. Swetland said.

How to best see the world is shown in SBnature From Home’s sections such as Exploring Nature, which features “The Birds of Santa Barbara: A Guide for Kids and Their Grown-ups.”

The guide includes photos of birds such as the red-shouldered hawk, the California towhee and the brown pelican. It also covers details such as what birds eat and lists activities for observing birds, such as watching them sip nectar from flowers.

And Exploring Nature features suggestions for bird watching

expeditions at places such as Arroyo Burro Beach and at the Andree Clark Bird Refuge on East Cabrillo Boulevard.

The News-Press asked Mr. Swetland if the museum is trying to inspire the next generation of bird watchers.

“I think we are always trying to inspire curiosity in young people,” he said. “Once kids get curious, the curiosity stays with them their entire lives.

“All the great natural history people started out as kids in their backyards, looking at birds, identifying plants, collecting rocks,” he said.

Mr. Swetland added that learning about nature will lead youths to grow up to become voting adults who want to protect the natural world.

In fact, the museum’s website, which includes links to other sites, lists topics such as picking up litter and helping the California condor.

There’s also a link to live cameras at the Channel Islands, and other topics include local hiking trails.

And SBnature From Home can get kids and adults alike to wonder about the final frontier: outer space. The website has instructions for how people can have a virtual stargazing party by phone or through an app. There’s also a link to the Santa Barbara Astronomical Unit’s website.

“Look up and see if you can start identifying constellations or see if you can find the planets,” Mr. Swetland said. (In fact, Mercury, Venus, Mars, Jupiter and Saturn can be spotted without a telescope, according to various internet sources.)

Mr. Swetland noted the museum’s website also allows viewers to ask questions of its staff.

SBnature From Home, the Santa Barbara Museum of Natural History’s expanded website, includes guides kids can use to identify birds in their own neighborhoods.

SB Museum of Natural History expands website with suggested activities and more

People can learn more about local wildlife such as this acorn woodpecker at sbnature.org/from-home.

“We have an amazing talent pool with our curators and our staff,” he said. “We’re all educators at heart.

We get passionate about sharing this stuff with people who are interested.”

Mr. Swetland said there are plans for SBnature From Home to feature videos, possibly of a birding class or tidepooling advice from an expert. “Those are the two that are kind of easy for us to do. We have people on the staff who can do that in a heartbeat.

“We are starting a list of what would be possible topics (for videos) and who (on the staff) can do them,” Mr. Swetland said.

While there are no plans to post a virtual tour of the museum, the staff can bring activities from the facility’s summer camps to the website, Mr. Swetland said.

Already, the website features the camps’ instructions on “How to Raise A Wooly Bear Caterpillar.”

FYI The Santa Barbara Museum of Natural History and its Sea Center on Stearns Wharf are closed during the COVID-19 pandemic. But individuals and families can learn about the world around them at sbnature.org/ from-home.

And ages 4 and up can learn “How to Meet a Tree.” That’s also on the website.

As the COVID-19 pandemic continues, Mr. Swetland said the museum has felt an economic impact from the closure, but noted it remains financially sound and can draw from reserves.

Mr. Swetland said there have been no reductions in the staff.

“The board is committed to keep

the staff whole as long as we possibly can.”

He said the staff continue to care for the animals at the Sea Center and that the Santa Barbara Audubon Society is still caring for the birds in its building at the Santa Barbara Museum of Natural History.

Once health officials say it’s safe for the museum to reopen, it could do so overnight, Mr. Swetland said.

“If they lifted all the restrictions, we could be open in an hour,” Mr. Swetland said.

“The issue is going to be the safety of the visitors. Is it a limited reopening initially? We’ll take the direction we get from the health authorities, of course.”

In the meantime, the museum continues to point to the world through SBnature From Home.

Alzheimer’s Association offers advice for helping loved ones during COVID-19 pandemic

By DAVE MASON NEWS-PRESS STAFF WRITER

C COURTESY PHOTO

Donna Beal, vice president of program and services at the California Central Coast chapter of the Alzheimer’s Association, stresses the importance of teaching loved ones to wash their hands and helping them to maintain social distancing.

aregivers need to give extra attention to loved ones with Alzheimer’s and dementia during the COVID-19

pandemic.

That’s according to Donna Beal, vice president of program and services at the California Central Coast chapter of the Alzheimer’s Association.

“Not that dementia increases their risk per se for COVID-19, but they may forget to wash their hands,” Mrs. Beal told the NewsPress.

She’s encouraging caregivers to go to www.alz.org/help-support/ caregiving/coronavirus-(covid-19)tips-for-dementia-care.

Mrs. Beal said that talking with your family member about COVID-19 will vary according to how far they have progressed with their dementia. “If they are in the early stages of the disease, you

talk about the washing of hands, good hygiene and who’s at risk.”

As people move into the middle or late stages of dementia, caregivers will need to repeat themselves, she said.

“Your loved one is not going to remember the conversation that you just had about what COVID19 is,” Mrs. Beal said. “It’s really important that we take a deep breath, find some calm space in ourselves and answer the question as if we never heard it before.”

Mrs. Beal explained how families can teach their loved ones with dementia to wash their hands efficiently and completely.

In addition to patients washing the palms and fingers, caregivers need to stress getting soap on the hands and getting between the fingers and the top of the hands, she said.

And people need to wash their hands for at least 20 seconds.

Mrs. Beal also recommended caregivers demonstrate hand washing. “Folks with dementia in

the middle or late stages are very good at mimicking what they’re seeing. If you’re doing it, they’re like to mimic it.

“Another thing that caregivers can do is hand-over-hand techniques,” she said. “They can put their loved one’s hands together and put their hands on top of them, so they can demonstrate the techniques.”

Mrs. Beal said social distancing poses a bigger challenge.

“The caregiver needs to be a gatekeeper for anyone who is entering the home,” Mrs. Beal said. “Hopefully they’re not having any guests over, but if they are, they need to be asking about any exposure to COVID-19.”

Social distancing poses a

problem because people with dementia like to go outside and wander, Mrs. Beal said.

She recommended caregivers walk with their loved ones outside and make sure they don’t get closer than 6 feet to anyone else.

(She also noted people become less likely to leave the home as dementia progresses into its later stages.)

If your family member resides at an assisted living facility, it’s important to call the staff regularly, Mrs. Beal said. “A lot of those facilities are restricting access to outside visitors. Because of that, it’s really, really critical for the primary caregiver to check in and check in more often than you would under normal circumstances.

“By checking in, you’re asking to get updates more consistently on your family member’s health,” she said.

Mrs. Beal also advised that families check on whether assisted living facilities are

allowing phone calls to talk with your loved ones. “Are they offering video chats? Are they offering other virtual platforms?”

She noted that the closure of adult day services centers means more responsibility for caregivers at home to keep loved ones entertained and mentally engaged.

“You can do simple board games like Sorry or Aggravation,” Mrs. Beal said. “You can do games like Battleship, or maybe they like card games.

“When I teach classes, particularly our family caregiving class, we often talk about the roles that the caregiver plays,” Mrs. Beal said.

“Sometimes we even jokingly say we get to be Julie from ‘The Love Boat,’ ” she said, referring to the cruise director on the 19771987 ABC comedy/drama.

TAURUS — In the week to come,you may be offered something that seems like a lot of work for not much in return. Consider accepting it, though, because it could lead to better things.

GEMINI — This week, you could feel a tad restless and eager for new experiences.

If so, this is very much the time to go after them.

CANCER — If you’re experiencing any blockages around finances or romance this week, it may be due to repressed emotions that are influencing your circumstances.

LEO — Be more objective about your most important connections this week, casting a critical eye over them could lead to revealing insights.

VIRGO — This week could bring up all kinds of reasons for not going ahead with a project. Don’t let this deter you, though, because within a few days your enthusiasm will return LIBRA — This week could see you looking out for properties that are not only bigger but perhaps also in a better location.

You likely need a change of scene, and this can be a good time to set things in motion.

SCORPIO — A powerful idea whose time has come makes itself known to you this week. The pieces of the puzzle may fit into place, enabling you to know exactly what to do to make it a success.

SAGITTARIUS — This week can be a good time to consider dating if you’ve been single for a while. You can be naturally flirtatious and delectable, and Venus can enhance this quality.

CAPRICORN — It’s possible you could get a raise or agree to a lucrative contract— you could be especially persuasive at this time. And if you happen to work in sales, the sky’s the limit.

AQUARIUS — This week is a great opportunity to spend quality time with your partner doing the things you love to do.

Solo? Dating can be very successful, and you might have plenty of options to choose from.

PISCES — Are you ready to beautify your home? Place a fresh coat of paint or new carpets and curtains in your house.

Magazines and websites can provide a gold mine of ideas.

Sisters’ lifelong rivalry escalates into silence

D

ear Abby: Our daughters aren’t speaking. One says she really doesn’t “like” the other.

These are mature women who have had their differences throughout their lives. But they have tolerated each other, one more than the other.

The older one claims her sister posted not-so-nice things about her. The younger one threatens not to attend any gatherings if her sister is there.

This needs to be resolved before years go by and our family is torn apart.

They stopped speaking a month ago — on their dad’s birthday yet. It was one of the worst days of our lives. We’re Abigail in our 80s, and Van Buren I may never again see them together. The older one says she’s willing to go to counseling, but the younger refuses.

We’re desperate for a reconciliation. They don’t have to be best friends, just be civil and tolerate a holiday together for our sake. Please advise.

— Helpless and Sad in Dallas Dear Helpless and Sad: Unless both of your daughters are willing to accept counseling or mediation, they will not reconcile. For your younger daughter to resort to emotional blackmail (“if she’s there, I won’t be”) is despicable. Please do not give in to it. Tell her that if she decides to change her mind, she’s always welcome, and then proceed without her.

You may be desperate for a reconciliation, but until your daughters are, it won’t happen and you will have to accept it.

Dear Abby: Recently I was listening to a couple talking about who and who not to invite to a wedding because seating was limited.

I’m wondering whether there would be anything wrong with sending out a letter stating that although they would like to invite everyone, seating is limited. Explain that, of course, immediate family (parents, siblings and their spouses) would be invited without exception. However, the remaining seating would be on a “lottery” basis. If people accept the invitation, they would be in the lottery and then notified of the results.

Is this acceptable? I think it would solve a lot of problems.

Just wondering.

— Just a Thought in Ohio Dear Just a Thought: If I were you, I would forget this concept.

Depending upon the size of the guest list, I strongly suspect it would offend anyone who didn’t “win” the lottery.

Dear Abby: I sometimes have social anxiety. I would like to go out with friends and acquaintances, but I worry I won’t have enough to talk about or won’t know what to say, and it makes me nervous. Do you have any advice?

— Loner in Illinois Dear Loner: Almost everyone has social anxiety to some extent. If your only worry is that you won’t have enough to talk about, don’t let it stop you.

Most people like to talk about themselves and will appreciate a good listener.

If you would like to bring up topics, listen to the news or read your newspaper and jot down a few topics. If your level of anxiety is so high that you cannot interact with others, then it’s time to discuss it with your physician and ask for a referral to someone who can give you medical and psychological help.

Dear Abby is written by Abigail Van Buren, also known as Jeanne Phillips, and was founded by her mother, Pauline Phillips. Contact Dear Abby at www.DearAbby.com or P.O. Box 69440, Los Angeles, CA 90069.

I fear neighbors’ parenting will lead to tragedy

D

ear Carolyn: There are parents in our neighborhood who set their kids’ toys into the street, then let their toddlers (about 1 and 2) play there. Sometimes the parents are sitting close by, other times they are engaged in yard work. This area is about 30 feet from a corner, so you turn onto our road to suddenly (barely!) see these kids over the hood. When you slam on the brakes, the parents wave and giggle as if to say, “Aren’t they just adorable?!”

We neighbors don’t feel it’s our place to challenge their parenting style, but we all fear this will end in tragedy.

Your advice?

— Nervous Neighbors

this happened, or perhaps more convincingly on the second, which would have allowed you to say it wasn’t just a fluke the first time ... but really this is all academic. Just say it.

I understand your wariness. As a society, we’ve embraced two extremes: either being righteously up in the business of every parent who dares have small kids in public, or being so boundary bludgeoned that we won’t even yell “fire” when it’s licking toddlers’ hems.

This is fire. It’s yell time. Calmly-kindly of course. Thank you.

Dear Carolyn My wife and I are good friends with a couple. My wife talked to the wife, who shared sad medical information and the admonition to not tell anyone (the Nervous Neighbors: husband knows). My wife then told me.

No, you do not have to tiptoe around Later in the day, I called the husband, your neighbors’ right to let their TELL ME and during the conversation let him toddlers! play! in traffic!

IDEAS & COMMENTARY

SUNDAY, MARCH 29, 2020

Let my people go!

D

ear fellow captives, I write this letter of exhortation to you from within the confines of my home in Orcutt under an order to quarantine issued by our Emperor in Rome, oops, I mean our Governor in Sacramento.

And it is with a feeling of brotherly love and genuine concern that I share these words with you. Whence you emerge from this government decree to shelterat-home not having read at least 3 (nonfiction) books, and listened to at least 50 hours of podcasts covering a variety of serious topics you knew little or nothing about prior to the Governor’s decree, well, brothers and sisters, I must warn you that you’re doing it wrong.

The silver lining in all of this is Americans can use this edict to socially isolate and decommercialize by becoming a keener, smarter, better informed, less needy and more intellectually curious member of society. And ultimately help usher in a healthier body politic.

Knowledge never fails. A better-informed society is a wiser society and inevitably will become a freer society and far less likely to tolerate in its government officials a propensity to overtax us, overregulate us, and overprotect us…and that includes the government protecting us from ourselves.

Freedom is everything. There’s

no acceptable substitute for with me. But, as I’ve said before, if freedom. The freedom to write I wanted to be liked, or popular, I’d what you want, and the freedom to sell ice cream for a living. say what you believe is what sets So, let me be unequivocal about America apart from most of the the following self-evident truth; it is other countries on the unacceptable for a pastor planet. of a church to be arrested And these once in the United States for protected rights, which preaching the living and we also once took for breathing word of God to granted, are now under his congregation which constant attack. But not has the right to assemble solely by our government under the United States authorities, oddly enough.

Constitution. Always, every Joe Armindariz time, no exceptions. Full But even more so from our fellow Americans. How stop. disappointing.

I must again remind The freedom to assemble, all of us that our rights aren’t the freedom to own property, conditional and/or on loan from the the freedom to trade goods and government. Our rights, it can’t be services with your neighbors, the said enough, are inalienable, and freedom to pursue your dreams and they come from our Creator, not passions, i.e., the freedom to pursue the government. This truism is the happiness aren’t guaranteed to very essence, indeed it is the very us by a King, or a President, a foundation of what our country’s Governor, or a Mayor. Much to War of Independence in 1775 was the contrary. These freedoms, as all about. well as the freedom to succeed, This is critical to understand and, yes, the freedom to fail, are because our inalienable rights quintessential God-given rights weren’t always respected or guaranteed and protected by our protected. It is why America’s Constitution and codified in our forefathers and mothers fought, United States Bill of Rights. died, and sacrificed everything And by the way, it might very well they had to achieve the overthrow be the case that the freedom to fail of British rule. Such a sacrifice is our most important right of all. was necessary because the King Because we learn far more from of England, who ruled over the our failures than we ever learn original 13 Colonies saw things from successes. Can any of you much differently. testify? I know I can.

In the King’s mind, our And so speaking of failure, I need forefathers and mothers were his to get something off my chest. And subjects and their rights were I know some of you won’t agree loaned to them by him. He received

rights from God and then loaned them to the people at his discretion and could, therefore, be rescinded by him whenever he decided it was necessary or appropriate to do so.

Can you imagine that? Well, allow me to help you.

What happened in Florida this past Sunday should send an icy chill up every freedom-loving Americans spine. As I wrote in a recently published column in the Santa Barbara Newspress, once we sheepishly surrender our inalienable rights to our government in exchange for the promise of protection, safety or security, we will never get them back.

Benjamin Franklin, who was perhaps America’s wisest statemen, said it best when he said over 200 years ago that if we the people of America ever choose to trade our liberty for security, we’ll deserve neither liberty nor security. Again, can you imagine that? I think you can.

So, I’ll leave you with this.

Commit yourself to read more and learn more over these next several weeks as you’re confined in what feels a lot like house arrest. And I respectfully suggest you start by reading our nation’s founding documents including, of course, the Declaration of Independence, and the Constitution.

We must keep the beaches and trails open

T

he stay-at-home order is starting to exact an emotional toll on the residents of the South Coast.

The public beaches and trails of Santa Barbara are some of the few remaining spaces where we may enjoy some semblance of a healthy lifestyle and glimpse a ray of hope for the return of happiness in a new normal.

Cori Hayman If we are to dig in for the The authorlives in duration of Santa Barbara. the stay at home order, they must remain open.

Unfortunately, a few disgruntled individuals are starting to push the local government to close both and follow the lead of Los Angeles, which is increasingly closing open spaces and threatening business owners with utility shut-offs. The leaders of Los Angeles are free to pursue whatever measures they deem to be in the best interest of their citizens, no matter how misguided or short-sighted. But the South Coast is not Los Angeles, and now is not the time to start imitating our neighbor to the south.

Since well before March 19th, our County and City governments have methodically struck the proper balance with respect to social distancing while encouraging healthy outdoor activities in our

COURTESY PHOTOS

public open spaces, in compliance with the State’s social contract.

Our community is, by and large, taking the social contract seriously and diligently following social distancing protocols. There is no reason to change course now.

Here are just a few photographs taken during the past few days of the San Ysidro trail looking east, (Saturday March 28th, noon) and Butterfly Beach, (April 1st, noon), looking both east and west. Here is a photograph of Butterfly Beach taken this morning (April 2d, 9:00 am).

Do not be misled by people who count the cars in parking lots. The reason is simple: the trails are a vast open space, with room to accommodate hundreds of hikers at any given time while allowing for social distancing. I have encountered only a handful of people each time I’ve been on the trails, and everyone has practiced sound social distancing.

The beaches are no different. At Butterfly Beach, the beachgoers (mostly families) maintained social distance. I also visited Leadbetter Beach on the afternoon of April

1st. The same was true there.

Closing the beaches and trails in our community would be a solution in search of a problem.

There is no scientific evidence supporting the notion that COVID19 spreads on trails and beaches.

The evidence indicates that COVID-19 can spread when people do not practice social distancing and when they touch contaminated surfaces.

The Santa Barbara beaches and trails are the glue that keeps our community together. The Santa Barbara community, along with the rest of the United States, is suffering during this pandemic. To close the beaches and trails would only serve to cause additional despair among our community and drive people to other public spaces. People would then crowd sidewalks and streets. Would the government be forced to close them as well? Where does it end?

The data is beginning to show that our social distancing is having a positive impact. We should be complimented for our sacrifices, not punished with additional restrictions. Our leaders must resist the fearful temptation to follow Los Angeles and other similar jurisdictions and instead continue with reminders of social distancing through signage and use of patrolling personnel. We must keep our open spaces open.

GUEST OPINION

Good will goes on spring break

ood Will Hunting is a movie about a troubled young man, who is nonetheless a genius, played by Matt Damon, and a down-to-earth psychologist, played by Robin Williams, who is trying to help Damon’s character get on the right track in life. In one prescient scene, Williams delivers a blow to Damon’s glib views on life by informing him that there is no substitute for real life experiences in comparison to Damon’s proclivity for emotional detachment aided and abetted by smug condescension.

The subject matter at hand was the inherent cost of life and love having to do with loss, in this case, having to do with William’s wife, who had died from cancer. Williams’ point was there is only so much you can truly know about a subject by reading a book or by way of distant observations.

That is, real relationships require trust and vulnerability because of the risk of losing everything you love.

This is what I was thinking

of the cognitive dissonance and classic narcissism of this generation. A few years ago, these college students were so traumatized by the Trump election that campuses across the country, including Ivy League schools, set up cry rooms. They also encouraged students to play with play-doh and stuffed animals, with one college campus even offering pony rides.

Nevertheless, in the midst of the coronavirus crisis, while society at large has been induced to become shut-ins, what did this generation that is convinced “the end is near” do? They left home to go party on spring break. CBS interviewed a couple of representative students.

One said “This virus ain’t that serious.” while another said, “If I get corona, I get corona. At the end of the day, I’m not gonna let it stop me from partying.” Enough said.
