‘That’s how we get equality’

For second straight week, protestors march to denounce police brutality By: GRAYCE MCCORMICK NEWS-PRESS CORRESPONDENT

For the second weekend in a row, people packed the streets with large signs and loud voices in protest of the murder of George Floyd and other victims of police brutality.

Organized by Kyle Brown, the rally began in De la Guerra Plaza, where community members spoke, and proceeded down State Street to Stearns Wharf. Once the crowd reached the dock, they knelt in silence for 8 minutes and 46 seconds, the amount of time the officer was kneeling on Mr. Floyd’s neck.

“There’s a message that’s sent and that message is a threat that says if you run in the wrong place, you’re gonna die,” Mr. Brown said before the march. “If you live in the wrong neighborhood, you’re gonna die. All it takes is $20 to go misplaced and we have a reason to kill you. We’re here today because we will not tolerate that in Santa Barbara.”

He addressed “deep-rooted issues of systemic racism, white supremacy and racial inequality” that need to be fixed, and said he was confident Santa Barbara can do that.

“Because we believe that although there are stories going around in the country that might say otherwise, we know that here in Santa Barbara, there are cops that do believe black lives matter, there are cops that do know how to de escalate situations, and for that reason, we want to do nothing to scorn those cops today,” Mr. Brown said.

Members of the Santa Barbara Police Department were present at the rally, including Chief Lori Luhnow. She informed the protestors of changes made within department policy, including Please see rally on A7

“In California, we wear wetsuits. I can guarantee there’s been a moment while you’re waiting for waves that you thought, ‘I hope a shark doesn’t mistake me for a seal.’ There are Americans, in the safety of their home, that fear that the police don’t mistake them for criminals. This risk [they] choose to accept doesn’t peel off after [they’re] done in the parking lot. Not for black people, not for me.”

to hundreds of surfers, swimmers and regular beachgoers at Leadbetter Beach on Saturday.

Mr. Ragland organized “Paddle Out SB” to honor the memory of George Floyd. As per the Hawaiian tradition to pay tribute to people who have died, the attendees took to the waves on their surfboards, SUPs and kayaks, chanting and throwing flowers in the water.

Boards were provided upon request to anyone who needed one, and participants laid them down to spell “Unity” in the sand, showing their community’s Please see paddle on A6

Andy Caldwell hosts passionate town hall on current state of affairs

The loss of businesses such as Macy’s, a Paseo Nuevo anchor, has affected the economy in recent years. During the COVID-19 pandemic, unemployment grew and reached a record high in April.

By CHRISTIAN WHITTLE NEWS-PRESS STAFF WRITER

The unemployment rate for Santa Barbara County hit a record high of 13.7% in April, up from 5.7% in March and well above the 3.4% rate in April 2019.

Nonfarm industries lost an estimated 20,700 jobs from midMarch to mid-April, down to a total of 166,300.

While all nonfarm industries were impacted, leisure and hospitality were the hardest hit,

losing an estimated 10,700 jobs.

The losses in hospitality and leisure have been a common trend across the Central Coast according to Andriy Moskalyk, labor market consultant for the California Employment Development Department.

“Because a lot of the businesses that were closed were in leisure and hospitality and Santa Barbara County has a lot of those jobs, that was the industry that was most impacted,” said Mr. Moskalyk.

“When you look at April, we had lost about 20,000 jobs. Fiftytwo percent of those were in leisure and hospitality.”

Other notable losses were seen in the health and social assistance sector, where 2,600 jobs were lost. Retail employment dropped by 1,400, down 7.5%. Professional and business services also saw a loss of 1,400 jobs in April, down 6%.

Andy Caldwell has always been loud about wanting to steer America in the right direction, while also representing the Central Coast out in Washington D.C. The republican challenger to Rep. Salud Carbajal, D-Santa Barbara, for the 24th district congressional seat held a virtual town hall Saturday morning, where he continued to emphasize to his supporters how committed he still is, especially with the current state of the country.

“Right now America’s divided.

We want America to be united.

I still believe in the concept of the melting pot. I believe the emphasis on multiculturalism actually helps to stratify America and I want to unite it. And that’s one of the reasons I’m running for office,” Mr. Caldwell said.

A stream of Mr. Caldwell’s town hall is available at his Facebook page.

Mr. Caldwell began his live stream by showing a new campaign video where he addressed the ongoing protests and riots in response to the recent death of George Floyd at the hand of former police officer Derek Chauvin.

The incident was captured on

video and shared through various social media platforms sparking outrage.

Mr. Chauvin has since been taken into custody on seconddegree murder charges, while three other officers at the scene have also been fired and arrested.

In the video, Mr. Caldwell said he “supports bringing the cops involved to trial” but also “avoiding trying them in the court of public opinion.”

Mr. Caldwell also hoped people would peacefully protest “in respect for all the good cops.”

Later, Mr. Caldwell spoke about

former NFL Quarterback Colin Kaepernick, who knelt during the National Anthem in 2016, and said “his protest did not and will not produce any more change than will looting and rioting.

“These protests fail to focus on the core problems affecting inner cities including a never-ending cycle of poverty, fail schools and abortion,” Mr. Caldwell said.

Mr. Caldwell also condemned ANTIFA, calling the group “an armed militia of mostly caucasiuan anarchists in training.”

Girl Scouts to camp by their computers

By BRIAN MACKLEY NEWS-PRESS CORRESPONDENT

With the COVID-19 lockdown preventing people from getting together, the Girl Scouts of California’s Central Coast will host its first Virtual Summer Camp.

According to a news release, the camp plans to use daily pre-recorded videos and written activities to “bring you some camp magic and classic traditions that you can enjoy from anywhere at your own pace.”

Lindsey Hatlee, Girl Scouts of California’s Central Coast program manager, told the News-Press that girls who complete the virtual camp will be awarded their very own GSCCC Virtual Camp Patch once it is safe to distribute patches again.

Ms. Hatlee also said Girls Scouts of California’s Central Coast is encouraging Troop leaders and groups of friends to meet over Zoom and complete

the daily camp activities together.

The virtual summer camp will be held from June 22 to June 26.

However, Ms. Hatlee said her organization understands girls and their parents have busy schedules so they are making it as easy as they can for girls to participate.

“Girls can complete it at their own pace,” Ms. Hatlee said. “There is no live part in our virtual camp because we wanted to keep it open to as many girls as possible.”

The camp costs $10 and will be open to girls inside and outside of Girl Scouts. Girls of all ages can register anytime before June 14.

As of now, over 230 girls have signed up for the virtual camp. For more information visit www. girlscoutsccc.org. email: bmackley@newspress.com

‘It’s hard to say what’s going to happen’ jobs

Continued from Page A1 Department using unemployment insurance claims, do not include Lompoc and Solvang.

Because almost all industries except for agriculture are concentrated in Santa Barbara rather than Santa Maria, Mr. Moskalyk estimated that the Santa Barbara metropolitan area was the hardest hit in the county.

Unlike nonfarm industries, agriculture continued to add jobs through April, surpassing the estimated job growth from the same time last year. During the March and April season, agriculture usually adds around 4,000 jobs, according to Mr. Moskalyk. This April, the total number of agriculture jobs grew by 6,600.

The combination of closure orders for restaurants and stayat-home orders issued in late March made the impact on Santa Barbara’s hotel industry particularly harsh.

“What was immediately hit of course were the restaurants that were in the hotels, and restaurants and bars are one of the ways in which hotels actually make a lot of money,” said Raymond McDonald, executive director for the Workforce Development Board of Santa Barbara County.

“When those shut down and people couldn’t go to the bars and restaurants at the hotels, it made it even more impractical for

people to travel and stay in a hotel because there was nowhere to eat, so it made it even worse.”

About 20% of South Coast hotels have closed temporarily and the city of Santa Barbara lost an estimated 1.5 million dollars in transient occupancy tax in April, according to Kathy Janega-Dykes, president and CEO of Visit Santa Barbara.

For those that remain open, occupancy was at 20% in April, said Mr. McDonald.

“That’s probably a bounce back.

I remember in late March it was down to about 10%,” Mr. McDonald told the News-Press.

Despite the record high unemployment rate, Mr. McDonald and Mr. Moskalyk are optimistic about Santa Barbara County’s prospects for recovery.

Nationally, unemployment rates decreased in May down to 13.3% from 14.4% in April, the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics reported Friday. Total nonfarm payroll employment rose by 2.5 million and the number of unemployed persons fell to 21 million.

Santa Barbara County will begin assessing local unemployment rates for May on June 12, and both Mr. Moskalyk and Mr. McDonald don’t anticipate any dramatic spikes in the county’s rate like the one seen in April.

Predictions for the rest of the year are, of course, difficult, and largely depend on how quickly the economy can reopen and if there is a second wave of COVID-19 cases seen later in

2020. Also, many businesses that have temporarily closed may never reopen due to financial difficulties, and consumer spending may decline as fears over the pandemic linger.

Either way, it won’t be an overnight recovery.

“It’s hard to say what’s going to happen. Based on the scenarios where there will not be any spikes and then no significant business closures, I’d say that I would personally expect the unemployment rate to go down, but probably not to the rate of 3.4% we had the previous year,” said Mr. Moskalyk.

While the timeline for recovery remains unknown, Mr. McDonald told the News-Press he suspects that there will be widespread reassessment of business models in most industries.

“I think that overall, the thing that we all have in common is that we’re going to look back and we’re going to say, ‘OK, what did we do during the emergency that we should continue doing?’” said Mr. McDonald.

“Businesses may make the choice about teleworking. I think that there could be an impact on commercial real estate. People may decide maybe they don’t need to have people come into work and have people sit at a desk. All of those things are possibilities, but I think that everybody’s going to do a reassessment of the way that they have been working and the business model that they’ve been using.” email: cwhittle@newspress.com

Oil ‘rigs’ future for fish By: GRAYCE MCCORMICK NEWS-PRESS CORRESPONDENT

A new study from UCSB marine biologists found how different ways to decommission offshore oil platforms affect the surrounding fish biomass, in hopes of preserving the number of fish and encouraging the best environmental decisions for government agencies.

Because platforms serve as de facto habitats for the fish, the full removal of oil platforms could potentially kill or displace a large amount of fish biomass, according to the study. In addition, the site would eventually return to mud, which is a more challenging home for fish to inhabit.

The research concluded that completely removing a platform could reduce fish biomass by 95 percent, while only removing the top of the rig reduces biomass by 10 percent — a significant difference. If just the part above water is removed, most of the fish and the habitat will remain, and only fresh mussels growing on the top would fall to the seafloor.

As a UCSB postdoctoral scholar and the lead author of the paper, Erin Meyer-Gutbrod’s research aims to assist the state agencies in making the best decision in decommissioning these platforms.

“I do think that the partial removal option is both possible and realistic,” she said, citing more than 500 offshore platforms in the Gulf of Mexico with only their tops removed to preserve artificial reefs. “Partial removal not only preserves the fish currently living on the deeper parts of the structure, but those fish are also able to continue reproducing, adding to future fish generations. There can also be substantial cost savings to oil and gas companies, and these savings are split with the state and can be applied to natural

resources and conservation.”

She added that there are many other factors to consider while decommissioning these platforms, such as the potential release of toxins when dredging the shell mound, the removal’s carbon footprint and waste generation.

“There is also a diverse range of stakeholders, including commercial trawlers, anglers, divers, tourism, etc., with different perspectives on the value of the existing platform

or, conversely, a return to an unobstructed seabed,” Ms. Meyer-Gutbrod said. “All of these concerns must be weighed to make the best decommissioning decisions.”

Ms. Meyer-Gutbrod’s work has been funded by the Bureau of Ocean Energy Management.

Bob Miller and Milton Love co authored the study, which can be found in the journal “Ecological Applications.”

‘The virus was not America’s or the world’s Black Swan event, the shutdown was’ CALDWELL

Continued from Page A1

He condemned them for exploiting Mr. Floyd’s passing and hijacking the tragedy of his death.

After showcasing the video, which was met with positive response on both Facebook and YouTube, Mr. Caldwell spoke about the shutdown, the mistakes made surrounding the coronavirus and what should be done going forward.

“The virus was not America’s or the world’s Black Swan event, the shutdown was,” Mr. Caldwell said.

Mr. Caldwell began his speech by criticizing the models that showed COVID-19 would cause much more destruction than it did.

“The truth of the matter is the models are wrong. The institutions have admitted they’re wrong, but we’re still left with the policies (being shutdown),” Mr. Caldwell said.

“Even Gov. Cuomo said, all the models were wrong, they were all wrong. All of them are wrong, but they didn’t change the policies.”

Going through a powerpoint presentation, which will be made

available to the public as well, he also condemned China for its role in spreading the novel coronavirus by “trying to destroy the evidence which would have helped us diagnose and evaluate the virus.”

He then applauded President Donald Trump for shutting down domestic flights from China into the United States when he did.

“President Trump deserves all the credit for shutting down that travel or would have been worse,” Mr. Caldwell said.

Mr. Caldwell did make it clear he understands the coronavirus is a real threat, but the shutdown has caused more damage.

“I’m 62 and I have asthma.

I’ve got a target on my back from coronavirus. I do not downplay the dangers of this virus because if I got it, I’d probably be dead. So I’ve actually been careful, but I’ve not been paranoid and I’m not being hysterical,” Mr. Caldwell said.

“Bottom line is the coronavirus and the shutdown are legitimate crises but they’re not the only crises. There’s a heck of a lot of other things that we still need to be focusing on,” Mr. Caldwell said.

Delta suspends flights to Santa Barbara SANTA BARBARA -- Delta Airlines announced Friday that it would be suspending operations in 11 U.S. cities beginning July 8, including flights to the Santa Barbara Municipal Airport.

The suspension comes as Delta is trying to cut down on costs due to the coronavirus hurting the travel industry.

Delta has announced an 85% reduction in our second quarter schedule, which includes reductions of 80% in U.S. domestic capacity and 90% internationally.

The other 10 locations where operations will be suspended are: Aspen, Colorado; Bangor, Maine; Erie, Pennsylvania; Flint, Michigan; Fort Smith, Arkansas; Lincoln, Nebraska; New Bern/Morehead/ Beaufor, North Carolina; Peoria, Illinois; Scranton/ Wilkes-Barre, Pennsylvania; and Williston, North Dakota.

Additionally, Delta is indefinitely suspending service to Ottawa International Airport, effective June 21.

Delta will re-accommodate customers whose travel

Mr. Caldwell also said Mr. Carbajal just follows the lead of Nancy Pelosi and Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez.

“I’ve actually told him this because I’ve known him for over 20 years. I’ve actually told him you forgot where you came from.

I didn’t forget where I came from.

My dad who was a veteran, a prisoner of war, my mom was an immigrant. My dad died from associated traumas of the war.

I grew up poor, a single parent family household. I have not forgotten where I came from. He forgot where he came from. I want to lead by serving based on facts, truth, and the Constitution and the needs of the Central Coast, not the whims, desires or agenda of Nancy Pelosi and AOC who Salud’s following like a puppy dog,” Mr. Caldwell said.

“I don’t have a bully pulpit. You get me elected to Congress, I’ll have a bully pulpit in Congress and more importantly, I’ll have one back here at home.”

is impacted as a result of service suspensions in these stations.

Affected Delta employees will be provided pay protection options through Sept. 30.

Delta has extended waived change fees and the flexibility to travel through Sept. 30, 2022, to customers with canceled travel through September 2020.

Exploring parking lots News-Press photojournalist spies everything from view of clock tower to a hidden garden

By DAVE MASON NEWS-PRESS MANAGING EDITOR

Santa Barbara has experienced something positive during the COVID-19 pandemic.

Free parking.

That’s the case in the city of Santa Barbara lots. Normally they charge after 75 minutes, but that fee has been suspended during the pandemic.

The parking lots caught the eye of News-Press photojournalist Rafael Maldonado, who visited the Granada Garage at Anapamu and Anacapa streets. The ground floor was full of vehicles.

He discovered the six-level facility, also known as Lot No. 6, remains open 24 hours a day and has 16 new electric vehicle charging stations on its roof.

That’s in addition to the four stations already on the ground floor.

Not all is paradise in the parking lots. Restrooms remain closed during the pandemic.

But the view’s great on the roof. Nearby, the photojournalist visited Lot No. 7 at Anacapa and Figueroa streets, where he found a view of the nearby County Courthouse clock tower.

He also looked down and photographed a treasure tucked away in all that pavement: a hidden garden view.

Surfers and beachgoers turned out for a memorial paddle out to George Floyd held at Leadbetter Beach on Saturday.

PADDLE

Continued from Page A1 support and solidarity.

“This is a memorial, not a protest,” Mr. Ragland told the crowd. “We gather here in peace; opposition won’t show its face today.”

He said that he felt a responsibility to step up with a voice and a leadership role in the surfing community as a black surfer in Santa Barbara. He centered the memorial around the idea of not just being non-racist, but anti-racist.

Mr. Ragland shared a quote from his grandfather, born in Birmingham, Alabama, who lost his son, Mr. Ragland’s father, to gun violence.

“When you see a black person on the sidewalk, in a parking lot, don’t look down. Don’t look away. Don’t pull out your phone and pretend they’re not there,” Mr. Ragland said, quoting his grandfather. “All you have to do is say, ‘Hey, how ‘ya doin’?’ If we could do that for each and every one of each other here right now, tell me that wouldn’t make the world a better place.”

Having lived in Santa Barbara

for 10 years, he said that he wanted to be a voice people can trust about what goes on outside of the city, and that his goal for the paddle out was to help people feel “activated, not just guilty and

deflated.”

Along with the memorial, Mr. Ragland and his team set up a GoFundMe, auctioning off surfboards with art and prints. All the proceeds went to local black

organizations.

“The ocean is super important to me. It’s my sanctuary,” said Austin Jones, a paddle boarder who helped Mr. Ragland put on the event. “It’s a place where we can all be equals. [We don’t] bring our cellphones and it’s a great way to disconnect and all be one.”

Bren Lanphear, a surfer at the paddle out, said it’s not so much about any one individual showing up, but the practice of activism as a community.

“Each event like this, which has a beginning and an end, little by little attunes to a more communal sense of being, and I think that’s one of the most important things we can do right now,” she said.

Allison Cole, born and raised in Santa Barbara, also shared those sentiments.

“It’s a peaceful demonstration of something that we all like to do anyways,” she said. “It’s a great way to turn our pastime into something meaningful. It’s a really cool community engagement opportunity that makes me feel proud to be from here.”

The event was organized by surfer Chris Ragland.

Continued from Page A1 the ban of the carotid restraint from the use of force policy, the development of a citizen review process and the support of restorative practices. “I’ve been your chief for four years and my mission has been to build the hearts and minds of our officers and to make them guardians of our community,�

Chief Luhnow said. “We are first peace officers, and that comes with an understanding that we are part of the community, not separate from it.�

She added that she and the officers stand in solidarity with the protestors against police brutality.

In addition to the support, the officers were there to help keep the rally and march under control.

Lt. Shawn Hill of the SBPD said that the department reached out to the event coordinators to be able to ensure the safety of all participants. “It’s a pretty consistent method we’ve found together to keep everybody safe and let the protestors achieve their message,

Santa Barbara Police Chief Lori Luhnow addressed the protesters, telling them that she and her officers stand in solidarity with them.

and that is to try to understand what they’re trying to accomplish, especially logistically, so we can arrange for street closures,� he said.

Ron Paris, a Santa Barbara resident and singer-songwriter, also spoke at the rally, and sang a song from his album “Soul Mate.�

The song, “Blood Line,� addresses racism and violence. “Let’s not just do this and do it

and go home and have lunch,� Mr. Paris said. “Let’s do it and do it ‘til we don’t have to do it no more.�

Sabrina Ladd, a protestor, said she marches so that she can answer the question, “What side of history are you going to be on?�

She added that as a white-passing, cisgendered latina, she has a lot of privilege. “It is 100% on me to make sure that I’m using my privilege and

‘I feel like we need to make our voices heard’ carp

Continued from Page A2

Carpinteria protesters block the path of a police vehicle while shouting chants and waving their signs.

COBB Jr., Frank B.

KUNZE, John V.

John V. Kunze of Goleta, CA passed away Tuesday, May 26, after a brief bout with cancer. Born in Goleta on May 10, 1940, he passed away with his family by his side, only a couple weeks after celebrating his 80th birthday.

A loving patriarch who was a wizard in the kitchen, Johnny loved nothing better than to have his extensive family over for dinner and some belly laughs. The more the merrier. He was an avid golfer who also enjoyed woodworking. If John teased you, you knew he loved you.

Johnny’s love was similar to the love God has for his children, and those who have been blessed to be in his presence will pass it along through each generation. He taught us how to serve others with actions rather than words.

As noted in a recent love letter from Nancy, “Thank you for not only loving me, but for making me feel ‘in love’ with you every day.”

He is survived by his beloved wife of 47 years, Nancy, sister, Margaret Harris, brother, Herbert Kunze, his 5 children: Vicki Jacobson (Mike), Jon Kunze (Amy), Leslie Friebertshauser (Ray), Wendy Schell (Randy), and Jody Kunze (Joe Daniel).

Grandchildren include: Audrey, Shayne, Alex, Kevin, Samantha, Constance, Connor, Serena, Jerremy, Jared, and Mackenzie. There are also 11 great-grandchildren. He is preceded in death by his mother, Emma, father, Paul, and brother, Joe. In lieu of flowers, please consider a donation to St. Vincent de Paul Society, or Catholic Charities.

MILLER, Jackie

Jacqueline Cecile Pridgeon Miller passed away peacefully at age 81 on May 24, 2020 after a long, loving life. Jackie is survived by her husband of 51 years, Paul Miller, whom she married in 1968 after meeting in San Diego and corresponding with throughout his military service in Vietnam. Jackie and Paul shared a love of dancing, cooking, taking long walks together, and traveling.

Jackie was an elementary school teacher with strong ties to Peabody Charter Elementary where she taught first and second grade from 1989 until 2006.

While her husband Paul was the love of her life, Jackie is also survived by her daughter Wendy Miller Woska, who was the joy of her life, and in whom she instilled her love of desserts, her affinity for music, and her desire to live life with enthusiasm and optimism.

While Jackie’s immediate family was small, her affection for her extended family was immense, and she is also survived by her sister Patsy Drechsel Eppstein, her brotherin-law, Steve Eppstein, her nephews Gary and Randy Drechsel and their families, as well as her son-in-law Jeremy Woska, who with her daughter, brought laughter into the home. Jackie’s beloved dog Emily has been snuggling in her favorite fleece jacket since she passed.

Although there will be no formal ceremony to say goodbye to Jackie Miller, we ask those who knew and loved her to please think of her with affection, and remember the good and happy times she had with so many people in this community. In lieu of sending flowers please consider contributing to Peabody Charter Elementary in Santa Barbara or Assisted Home Health & Hospice Foundation.

TISDALE, Patricia Anne O’Neill

On May 11th, 2020, Patricia Anne O’Neill Tisdale, loving wife, mother, grandmother, and best friend was lost to cancer. She was a pillar of strength and love in our family and will be greatly missed. The previous day, her entire family celebrated a unique Mother’s Day together, filled with love and support. That day greatly lifted Pat’s spirit and gave everyone an opportunity to express appreciation for ways in which she had enriched their lives.

Pat was born in Wichita, Kansas, at St. Francis Hospital on December 17, 1937, to Willis Andrew O’Neill and Dorothy Price O’Neill. When Pat was age three, the O’Neill family moved to San Diego where she attended Alice Birney Elementary School, Horace Mann and Roosevelt Junior High Schools, and San Diego High School as well as San Diego State University. At SDSU she majored in elementary education, and art. She also was a member of the Chi Omega sorority. During college summers, Pat worked at the new San Diego Children’s Zoo, where she met her future husband, David, also a student at SDSU. Newly commissioned USN Ensign David and Pat were married July 11, 1958, at the First Presbyterian Church in downtown San Diego. They were soon stationed at Yokosuka, Japan for three years where two of their four sons, Scott and Brian, were born. Returning to San Diego, in 1961, David retired from active naval duty, and joined San Diego Trust and Savings Bank as an Investment Officer. Pat and David settled back into their hometown, renewing friendships and adding two more sons, Brad and Steve, to their family.

In 1966, the family relocated to Santa Barbara, where David joined an investment firm which later became Starbuck, Tisdale & Associates while Pat concentrated on raising four boisterous sons in their 1910 Montecito home. She enjoyed the young friends of her sons who stopped by the Tisdale home. They always seemed to know when it was Taco night!

Pat became a dedicated member of the Santa Barbara community during an era of women’s lib, Vietnam war protests, in a counterculture movement of hippies, free love, and free speech! Pat joined the Junior League of Santa Barbara where she chaired the Santa Barbara VD Education Coalition and spent 11 years on the CA Governor’s VD Education Council, (appointed by Gov’s. Reagan, Deukmajian, and Brown). She served with the Tri-County U.S. Comprehensive Health Planning Association and was on the Santa Barbara County Grand Jury. Pat was on the Council on Alcoholism and Drug Abuse Women’s Committee for 25 years. She was a board member of the Channel City Club, and a member of the Santa Barbara Committee on Foreign Relations, Young America’s Foundation and Santa Barbara Women’s Fund. She was President of SBCC Garvin Theatre “Supporting Cast”. Pat also served briefly on the Women’s Board of the Santa Barbara Art Museum and supported many organizations such as the Santa Barbara Historical Museum, Music Academy of the West, and the Lobero Theatre Women’s Auxiliary. In addition, she belonged to the Santa Barbara Yacht Club, Birnam Wood Golf Club and the Little Town club.

After trade opened up with China, Pat and her partner/mentor Marge Dwelle, became importers of Japanese and Asian antiques with their “KIKYO Asian Antiques and Art” business.

Travels took Pat and Dave to Japan, China, South East Asia, India and parts of the Middle East, Turkey, England, France, Italy and Africa as well as many parts of our beautiful United States.

Relationships were the center of her life; family was the center of her relationships. She guided (or ruled) gently with charm, love and humor. Once, she presented “Christmas Day in Tisalot” (a play on Camelot), where the grandchildren, attired in Elizabethan costumes learned courtly manners.

Pat enjoyed the art of Ikebana which she studied while living in Japan. Her interest in American history lead her to trace part of her ancestry back to the early days of Jamestown. Much to her delight, she learned that she was eligible to join the National Society of Colonial Dames in America.

Pat loved theatre, travel, history, animals and a good laugh. She was truly grateful to have lived in beautiful Santa Barbara with its stellar people and wonderful friends.

Pat is survived by David, her husband of 62 years; her four sons: Scott (Sophie), Brian (fiancée Jill), Brad (Denise), and Steve; five grandchildren, Nolan, Luke, Danielle, Davis, and Britni; and brother, Michael O’Neill of Belmont, CA. Given the restrictions of COVID-19, there was a small family gathering to lay Pat to rest. A celebration of Pat’s life will be scheduled when circumstances allow.

The family wishes to thank the members of the medical community who cared for Pat at the end of her life.

In lieu of flowers, donations in Pat’s memory may be made to a charity of your choice.

Laura told the News-Press. “We know there’s been black people at our school in the past and we know that there are young ones and we didn’t want that to let this slide without voicing our concerns about racism in Carp.”

Isa explained that it was important to stand with those who suffer from racial injustice.

“Carpinteria gets looked over because it’s such a small town, and I feel like that we need to make our voices heard,” she said.

Jacqueline, who is latina, said it was crucial for others of color to know that Carpinteria stands with them.

“Their lives are important to us and that’s their tribute to everyone.”

Added Joana, “The time is up. We’re just here to stand in solidarity.”

COCHRANE, Peggy

Peggy Cochrane passed away on May 28th, 2020 at the age of 96. Peggy lived her life with flair. Peggy blessed those that knew her with charm, an infectious laugh, and a generous embellishing to those lucky enough to hear her stories.

Peggy was born in Rockford, Il. On November 5, 1923 to Patricia and Harold McShane. She grew up in Chicago where she was cherished by her mother and step-father, Lemon Lemley, and where she met her first husband, John Gay. Together they lived in Florida, Sacramento, and finally Santa Barbara.

Peggy worked as an executive secretary at UCSB where she met her second husband, and love of her life, Richard Cochrane. They lived together in their Montecito dream home, until Richard’s passing in 2000. Peggy lived in her beloved home for over 50 years. She was dancing on her terrace until the week before her death.

Peggy attended Blackburn College and the University of Illinois. She was proud to be a flight attendant in her younger days. She spent most of her career as an executive secretary. After retiring from UCSB Peggy started her own Professional Secretarial Service in Montecito Village. She owned one of the first fax machines in town. Peggy enjoyed playing piano and having high tea. To Peggy, tea was not just a beverage it was an experience to be enjoyed with loved ones. Peggy was a devoted Christian and served as a deacon in her church, El Montecito Presbyterian.

Peggy is survived by her son, John Dennis Gaye and his wife Renay; her grandchildren Deanna Gay-Van Lokeren , John Patrick Gaye, and Gregory Craig Andrews; as well as her great grandchildren, Arianna and Marie Van Lokeren.

A viewing will be held On June 5 from 9:00AM to 12:30 PM at Welch-Ryce-Hader, 15 East Sola Street. A small private graveside service will be held for her family at Santa Barbara Cemetery. If you wish to make donations in her name, please make them to either El Montecito Presbyterian church or to the Humane Society.

Carpinteria avenues, filling all four corners of the intersection before marching down Linden Avenue with chants such as “No justice, no peace,” and “Black lives matter.”

Upon returning to the intersection, the group took over the crosswalks and stood in front of a police vehicle for several minutes. Participants shouted chants and held their signs in the air. Some then went to the ground, with several placing their hands behind their backs. Others took a knee before the vehicle turned around and exited the intersection.

Those who weren’t there to take part in the rally let their sentiments be heard, honking the horns of their cars in support of the protestors.

After nearly an hour of marching and chanting, the group stood in the middle of the intersection for several minutes as the organizers and others addressed the crowd.

The group then marched down Linden Avenue for a second time and along Carpinteria Avenue before convening yet again at the intersection, this time taking a knee for 8 minutes and 46 seconds -- the amount of time the officer had his knee on Mr. Floyd’s neck.

The event drew residents of all ages and ethnicities, including students from Carpinteria and nearby Cate School.

“I’m tired of all the people being targeted because of their race and I want it to stop. I hope there’s a lot more changes in police regulations, with more training to de-escalate situations without provoking violence and less racially charged violence against minorities,” said John Ramirez.

I still have many memories of the one I loved so much.

God has you in His keeping, I have you in my heart.

Until we meet again, Your loving wife, Sally

to show solidarity to what he sees as a social issue he supports.

“Which is to say that all lives matter, especially and not exclusively to black lives,” he said.

Fellow Carpinterian Heidi Bautisa added, “I’m in a mixedrace family. This matters to me personally and to my whole family.”

Cate student Babacar Pouye said he felt the gathering was very powerful and enjoyed seeing so many people take a stand on the issue.

“It’s all about unity,” he said.

Among those who marched down the main corridor was Mayor Wade Namura, who told the News-Press he wasn’t surprised to see so much activism in his town.

“I would expect this from Carpinteria. Carpinteria is a very united city,” he said. “What’s most impressive is that this is organized by the high school students.

There’s a big future and there’s hope in the future that we have in this community.”

Mr. Namura said he was there to support the cause, as well as the student organizers.

“I think what they’re doing is very commendable,” he said.

“We need to have this kind of awareness brought forward.

This is something that is going to change, hopefully, ideally the world. It’s taken a lot of generations.”

On Monday, the Carpinteria City Council will discuss adopting a resolution to condemn the “unjustified use of force and police brutality against black people and people of color by law enforcement” while also standing in solidarity with non-violent protestors around the country.

SOLUTION ON D3

HOROSCOPE

ARIES — If you need to reach an agreement or talk through a deal, feelings could interfere with the smooth flow of conversation. A side of you could resist negotiating, especially if you can’t get your way.

TAURUS — This week is a good time to look at your income and expenses and looking into your accounts with banks or other financial institutions. Don’t take anything for granted.

GEMINI — This week you might wonder if what you do truly represents your mission or purpose, and this could lead to some soul searching. Don’t be held back by what others might think of you.

VIRGO — You have the potential to make a positive contribution this week. This is your chance to stand out from the crowd and showcase your skills and abilities.

LIBRA — There may be opportunities to expand or take on a challenge this week, but this might mean jettisoning activities that could get in the way of success.

SCORPIO — A focus on an emotional sector encourages you not to ignore your feelings, especially those that seem to intrude on your everyday life.

SAGITTARIUS — There’s a lot you could say, but choosing the right words might mean the difference between reaching an agreement with someone or experiencing a disconnect.

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

Sunday, June 7, 2020

SOLUTION ON D3

Every number in the codeword grid is â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;codeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; 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 you off. 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.

piggy

D

ear Abby: My mother was a stickler when it came to table manners.

She had a little 1-inch-long ceramic pink pig that she placed in front of me every time I did something Emily Post would frown on. I hated that little pig. â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Ralph in Arroyo Grande.

Dear Ralph: Now, now. You should have been grateful to that little pig, because it kept you from becoming a big one.

Dear Abby: I am a successful business professional in my mid-50s. I have put my children through college, and they have no student loans. (My wife did not help with any of the college expenses. It was all on me.)

I am finally at a point in my life that I can pursue my passion of buying a sports car. I have Abigail always been a Van Buren car guy, and my wife knows it.

When I bring up the subject of purchasing the car of my dreams, which is not very expensive, she tells me I will look like an idiot. In her next breath she says itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s OK if I buy a sports car if it is the one she wants, and of course, the one she wants is very expensive.

No matter how I broach the subject, she does not â&#x20AC;&#x153;getâ&#x20AC;? that it is not about her but about my passion as a car guy.

How do I get her to see my side? â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Revving Up in New York Dear Revving Up: If itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s your money paying for the car, you donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have to get her to see your side. It will be yours â&#x20AC;&#x201D; not hers â&#x20AC;&#x201D; and you should buy the one that gives you pleasure and drive it to your heartâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s content.

Dear Abby: I have been with â&#x20AC;&#x153;Rogerâ&#x20AC;? for 28 years.

He is basically a good, honest man, but he thinks only of himself. When I had heart surgery, he left me alone at the hospital that night, not knowing if I would live or die.

(Nothing would have kept me from HIS bedside!) Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll be having knee surgery soon, and he wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t take the day off or a sick day to take me. He wants a friend of ours to do it.

These are just two samples of his lack of support for me. I guess there is no way to make someone care enough about you to put their conveniences aside. When we moved out of state, he said if he didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t find a job, he was going back home. Well, where would that have left me?

Roger wouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have anything at all if it werenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t for me. I know I should dump him, but after 28 years, I canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t pull the rug out from under him. He cops an attitude and makes me feel bad if I press the subject. I only wish he would do something for me from his heart, but I guess it isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t there. Any advice, Abby? â&#x20AC;&#x201D; His Last Priority in Florida Dear Last Priority: Yes, because you canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t bring yourself to pull the rug out from under Roger, it might help you to memorize the Serenity Prayer when he disappoints you in the future.

It goes like this: â&#x20AC;&#x153;Lord, grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change, courage to change the things I can, and the wisdom to know the difference.â&#x20AC;?

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.

Is there any hope for daughter and her less ambitious boyfriend?

D

ear Carolyn: My 26-year-old daughter is generally happy in her two-year relationship, but during the pandemic has become frustrated with her boyfriendâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s lack of motivation.

She is a strong-willed, type A personality. She has a postgraduate degree and a good job, and is easily motivated to make herself and the world a better place.

Her boyfriend is less ambitious and suits her personality well. He can calm her down and support her but is not a pushover. He is close to his family and has good values. When they met, he partied a lot and didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have a full-time job, but has since largely completed his high school courses and works full time at a job he likes. He loves to cook and pampers her with delicious meals. We call him the â&#x20AC;&#x153;daughter whispererâ&#x20AC;?: One time when she was extremely upset, he took a towel out of the dryer and wrapped it around her. It shocked her into a calmer frame of mind. Heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s really quite brilliant.

During COVID, my daughter has been working from home while he has been laid off, with government benefits to cover his half of the expenses. She is frustrated that he doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t do more with his free time. She would like him to get up early with her, study for a couple of hours, work out, drink less and generally be more productive.

I am worried she is asking him to

TONIGHT

change his character rather than his habits, and that the only way they will be happy is for her to accept him the way he is. She argues that people make compromises in relationships all the time and he should try harder to be more motivated. Is there any hope for them?

-â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Worried Worried: That towel story, wow. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s genius in nurturing, which is a kind of intelligence too often devalued, especially in men.

Your daughter herself devalues it. The type-A ranks she apparently respects more, though, would likely be better staffed and more dazzlingly productive if they made more room in their lives and world views for the nurturing types.

So weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re of like minds there. You have my full agreement, too, that couplesâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; happiness depends on as-is acceptance.

And I will take a special paragraph to express my advisory dismay at the notion he should â&#x20AC;&#x153;try harder to be more motivatedâ&#x20AC;? to please her out of some universal relationship duty. She chooses her actions, he chooses his, period. Then they either choose each other or not.

Compromise is useless unless itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s freely given and leaves the essential self intact.

Email Carolyn at tellme@washpost.com or chat with her online at 9 a.m. each Friday at www.washingtonpost.com.

Anarchists are hijacking Black Lives Matter

A

ll of America is grieving in righteous anger as a result of the death of George Floyd.

Accordingly, I support bringing the cops who were involved to trial. Nevertheless, all Americans should support peaceful demonstrations against police misconduct while maintaining respect for all the good cops who risk their lives for us on a daily basis.

Now, some pundits have speculated that had we listened to Colin Kaepernick, then maybe George Floyd’s life could have been spared. I disagree. Whereas, Colin Kaepernick’s bended knee was, in itself, a nonviolent form of protest, his protest did not and will not produce any more change than will looting and rioting. Why? These protests fail to focus on the core problems affecting inner cities, including a neverending cycle of poverty, failed schools, violence and abortion. That is, the poverty comes from broken families and failed public schools.

Ninety percent of the violence emanates, not from abusive cops, but fellow residents. And, finally, the authentic genocide facing blacks stems from astronomical

have taken advantage of the corona virus shutdown and the death of George Floyd to advance their specific goals and agendas; namely socialists (government control of our lives and economy), globalists (the end of independent nation states in the name of a better world order), and anarchists (the end of civil society, law and order). As for their fellow travelers, including progressives and Black Lives Matter, well, they are simply useful pawns in this deconstruction project.

The catastrophes emanating from California’s unique and inordinately long virus shutdown and the riots, coupled with the one million jobs lost via AB5 (which eliminated most contractors jobs in this state), means that California will be the last state in the union to recover. And, like usual, the people in our inner cities will be the last of the last to recover, if ever. That is, if America as a whole survives the war upon us.

letters to the news-press Remain careful during pandemic

R

egarding the catastrophe of this pandemic: The anger, insecurity and fear of the unknown is bringing out the baser behavior in man. The difficulties of no income generates a fight-orflight response in us which can help us survive.

Conversely, a misfire could cause us to respond to the perception of threat inappropriately in violence and reckless behaviors. Witness the gun-toting mob protests and refusals to mask and maintain social distance.

The pressures to resume business could open the floodgates of illness at a time when quarantine has almost tamed this wild beast of a disease.

Who will be well enough to go to work to generate commerce if we drop our current management strategies?

We have to accept that our way of life, commerce and social interaction is forever changed.

We need a clear eye to view what needs to be done as we cautiously proceed in jumpstarting commerce so we can grow out of this dilemma and not plunge the world back into the Dark Ages.

We have the intellect to proceed. We need to engage that intellect and not succumb to mere instinct.

Bad time for trash fee hike

T

he trash collectors have provided good service to Santa Barbara residents for many years. Although they continue to provide good service, I’m writing the Santa Barbara City Council to protest the amount of the fee increase as well as the basis for calculation of the rate increase.

Please consider the following: 1. The nation is in the midst of an economic crisis in which many businesses are folding and many households face reduced income. Many are stressed to find funds to buy food, make house payments, or rent.

2. The fact that the trash collection is a city service must not insulate collection providers from the economic stress suffered by the citizens. The providers should share in the burden of reduced revenue. They should not receive automatic

revenue increase while many of the citizens of Santa Barbara are suffering a full or partial loss of revenue.

3. Rationalizing an inflationadjusted price increase based on a Consumer Price Index derived prior to the COVID-19 shock to the nation’s economic well-being is unreasonable.

4. Although the cited “Resource Recovery Project” is a worthy goal, the present time is NOT an appropriate time to fund such a project. The longterm benefits do not justify the expenditures in the current economic downturn.

The proposed rate increase appears to be following a plan endorsed at a prior time when the economy was good. The situation is now quite different.

Hopefully our city officials will recognize this change and appropriately modify the plan to reflect the current conditions.

Government officials have a responsibility to modify plans and expenses to reflect the present situation.

City Council members, please vote to delay the proposed rate increase until a later time when the economy is in a healthier state.

Keep State Street as promenade

W

e write to urge Santa Barbara to make permanent the current temporary closure of State Street downtown.

It is unlikely that traditional retail will ever flourish again along State Street, so to revitalize the downtown it will be necessary to do things differently.

Creating a walk-able dining and entertainment experience along State Street will draw crowds of locals and tourists and provide an environment conducive to restaurants, wine bars. brew houses and other leisure activities. With parking access from Chapala and Anacapa Streets, there is no need for vehicle traffic on State Street.

Santa Barbara has the climate and location to create a destination experience that will become known worldwide. Take this bold action now and begin building a high-quality leisure and entertainment experience that will bring new energy and opportunity to Santa Barbara.
