Taking the show on the road Montecito keeps Fourth of July celebration alive, transforming “the world’s biggest, little parade” into a road show

The sparse crowds that took to the beach Saturday were a fair mix of both local and visiting beachgoers.

‘Not an average Fourth of July’ Weekend beach closures keep holiday crowds away

By CHRISTIAN WHITTLE NEWS-PRESS STAFF WRITER

Santa Barbara’s last minute beach closures seemed to have been successful during the Fourth of July.

Despite fears that the city’s shoreline would be overrun as surrounding counties closed their beaches, residents enjoyed the somewhat foggy but otherwise beautiful day while keeping crowds from forming.

Far fewer beachgoers were seen out and about than a typical

Montecito residents step outside to wave on the Village Fourth Road Show. The road show is the COVID-aware adaptation of the “biggest, little parade in the world,” a 25-year Independence Day tradition.

By CHRISTIAN WHITTLE NEWS-PRESS STAFF WRITER

Fourth of July celebrations have been canceled across Santa Barbara County as health officials try to keep residents properly physically distanced in response to a rise in local case numbers. However, the Montecito community was not content to let the holiday pass by without a celebration.

The Montecito Association helped keep the community’s Independence Day tradition alive on Saturday, adapting the annual Fourth of July parade into a road show.

Montecito usually celebrates the Fourth with what they call “the world’s biggest, little parade.”

Families and friends gather at the top of Manning Park and then march about one block to the lower end. There are typically plenty of participants walking or driving classic cars, and the parade ends with a cookout and live music.

This year’s parade was supposed to be the 25th, a major celebration for the many who have participated every year since its inception.

“It was going to be big this year. Since we didn’t get to do that we thought we should just acknowledge the day and give people something to smile about,” said Kathi King, a board member with the Montecito Association who chaired the event.

Despite the many Fourth of July cancelations, the Montecito community was eager to find a way to keep the celebration going, so the association adapted the event into a road show.

“In Montecito they like their July 4th parade so the community said, ‘can you do something?’”

After two rounds of polling showing strong support for the measure, the Goleta City Council will make a final decision on adding a measure for 1% sales tax increase to the ballot for Novemeber’s election.

The council will vote following a presentation from City Clerk Deborah Lopez. If passed, the measure would be on the ballot for the Nov. 3 General Municipal Election, potentially alongside a measure expanding the Goleta mayor’s term to four years.

As part of the city’s strategic plan, the council directed staff to explore new revenue sources to help maintain current service levels and programs, while also meeting the demand of the growing infrastructure maintenance and improvement needs.

“The City has significant revenue limitations resulting from the Revenue Neutrality Agreement with the County, and the City’s sales tax is one of the lowest in the County. There are more than $34.5 million in unfunded capital projects and many other community priorities for which insufficient funding exists, such as investing more in pavement and infrastructure maintenance programs and supporting projects and

First responders joined classic cars in driving an hour long route through Montecito, as well as military jeeps from the Pierre Claeyssens Veterans Foundation.

Independence Day, but there were still plenty of families and friends walking, biking and swimming in the mid-70s heat.

All beaches in Santa Barbara County were closed to the public following an order from Santa Barbara’s County Health Officer Dr. Henning Ansorg. Due to a recent spike in local COVID-19 cases, the Public Health Department ordered all beaches closed for the Fourth of July weekend starting Friday until Please see FOURTH on A8

objectives from the City’s various strategic plans and goal-setting documents,” read a city staff report.

In addition, the coronavirus pandemic has led to significant revenue shortfalls of an estimated $8.6 million in the 2019-20 and 2020-21 fiscal years.

City staff conducted two polls of Goleta residents that showed likely voter support for the sales tax. The initial poll showed that between 59% and 66% of voters would be in favor, while the second poll shows the support ranging from 68% to 73%. The first poll surveyed 420 Goleta registered voters with the second polling 579, according to the staff report.

Following a presentation on the poll results, council voted June 16 for staff to return July 7 with an ordinance to add the measure to the ballot. The measure must be adopted by a two-thirds vote of the council, which in the case of a fivemember body, requires four out of five members to vote in support, according to the staff report.

City staff estimate the tax will generate approximately $7 million annually until ended by voters.

If adopted, voters on Nov. 3 will decide whether or not to impose a one cent per dollar Please see goleta on A12

While she was being transported in the rear of a patrol car, Ms. Kirchner became combative and kicked the doors and windows. Officers stopped the vehicle and when they opened the door, Ms. Kirchner kicked several officers and spit on an officer’s face and N95 mask, Capt. Arroyo said.

She was ultimately placed in the WRAP restraining device and transported to Santa Barbara County Jail.

‘It’s a way to keep the community connected’ PARADE

Continued from Page A1 News-Press. “We figured this is the way to do it where it’s contactless, you’re not piling a million people on the street in close quarters. The intention is to drive through the neighborhood, wave and people can come out of their houses, wave and go back indoors. It’s a way to keep the community connected.�

Starting at Montecito Union School at 11:30 a.m., 28 first responders and classic cars, including old Ford pickups, Chevrolettes, Jaguars, and a fleet of military vehicles rolled down San Ysidro Road. The route went along Jameson Lane and down to Channel Drive before looping all the way up to Mountain Drive.

Organizers chose to leave at 11:30 a.m. to avoid congestion.

When cars passed through Coast Village Road, they were greeted by waving flags and cheers from those who were out to see the parade, as well as locals out at lunch.

The Montecito Association was inspired to change the parade to a road show in April and May by teachers in various communities driving around their neighborhoods waving and saying hello to their students. “It was a way to stay connected to the community, which I thought was a great idea. Montecito Union School did something like that in May. We looked at their route and we adapted it,� said Ms. Byrne. “It already had credibility and it was already sanctioned. It seemed like it was safe enough that it would be accepted,� said Ms. King. “We had all the first responders and elected officials, so it felt like if they were feeling ok about it then we should as well. We’ve been on the fence, especially with the rise of cases in the last couple weeks. But if you look at the very small crowd that turned out, I see 95% have masks on and everyone is standing apart.�

Like every year, first responders from the California Highway Patrol, Santa Barbara County Sheriff’s Office, and Montecito Fire Protection District, as well as members of the Pierre Claeyssens Veterans Foundation participated. Rep. Salud Carbajal, D-Santa Barbara, and 1st District Supervisor Das Williams also attended.

The Village Fourth Road Show allowed the Montecito community to connect and celebrate, all while maintaining a safe distance from each other.

The roadshow allowed the Montecito community to celebrate Independence Day and connect with their neighbors during the pandemic, despite being one of the oldest populations in the county. “Thirty-five percent of the residents here are over the age of 65, so that’s why the safety thing really has to be at the top of our list because we have a more vulnerable population than the rest of the county. But we’re also a population that likes stuff like this, so how do you do this in a safe way that gives people a chance to

come and celebrate? That’s why we were really cautious about this,� said Ms. Byrne.

By helping people celebrate the Fourth of July in a responsible way, the Montecito Association hopes the event is a little shot in the arm for community spirit, despite the pandemic. The need for connection is stronger than ever during these unprecedented times, Ms. Byrne told the NewsPress. “There was a 1918 pandemic, a 1930s depression and a 1960s fight for civil rights and riots. We just lived through that in three

months. Those people got 50 years, we got three months. It’s a little intense!� Ms. Byrne explained. “This is just an unprecedented time. No one’s lived through a time like this, and it’s a time for

people to feel connected to each other, but what you can’t do in a pandemic is connect with each other. “You have to find a safe way to do that whether that’s video call

or a driving parade or standing separated. It’s a way to keep human connection going while staying safe.� email: cwhittle@newspress.com

large pot leads to inadequate heat absorption.

Teflon and aluminum pots pushed most of the cast iron companies out of business in the 1960s, but some cooks held onto their grandmother’s cast iron, especially those made in the late 19th and early 20th centuries, and the market (because of the famous chef Nigella, amongst other) has made them “hot” again. Not to mention that since the lockdown, most of us have taken up slower forms of cooking!

Some cooks even prefer old cast iron to the more modern version of cast- iron cooking, the enamelcoated cast iron pots. They can chip, and chips cause less than good overall heat absorption.

These pots are cast “as a whole,” handle and all, and therefore can be used to sear as well as to provide a nice bake, storing heat for much longer than any other material.

J.E. resuscitated this skillet roaster from her old storage locker, unopened for 12 years.

The ridges in the top of the lid make it the “Drip-Drop” – that is, the roast inside will be “selfbasting” as condensation mounts.

Yet she must re-season the pot: then, no soap, no dishwasher, after re-seasoning. She must apply, using heat, multiple layers of fat.

Once this is done, she must wash the skillet with only hot water and a brush, OR she can rub the pot with coarse sea salt applied with a crushed-up brown paper bag.

Collectors are picky about dating their Wagner Ware cast iron pots. Founded in 1891 in Sidney, Ohio, the family-owned business led the market for years, was purchased in 1952 and is still in production today.

So is Griswold manufacturing, which was purchased by Wagner in 1957; the brands on these pots will say Wagner. Not only did Wagner make cast iron cooking utensils when it was a family concern, they hired great industrial designers of the second quarter of the 20th century, and made fabulous decodesigned cast aluminum covered pans.

I have one large enough for a medium sized fowl. The pot resembles The Grey Goose.

Griswold, the other top brand in cast iron, bears a distinctive crossshaped brand mark. Founded in 1865 in Erie, Penn., the factory became famous for its secretary, a Miss Ella Moses, who handled her customers’ letters for 50 years.

She gave advice on the products as well as on recipes, finally coming out with her own cookbook, given with purchase.

She became the world’s advertising face of the Griswold brand in the 1920-30s.

A word on the cross-mark brand: A larger cross means an earlier pot (1915), and a smaller mark means a much later pot: 1940-1957. If you do not see “Erie PA,” the pot is made after 19571965, at which point the brand Griswold left the market.

A well-known historian of Griswold and Wagner cooking pots is also a chef. Check out Joanna Pruess’ “Griswold and Wagner Cast Iron Cookbook.” J.E.’s pot in great condition can command up to $500 today.

Most beachgoers compliant with restrictions FOURTH

Continued from Page A1 11:59 p.m. Sunday.

Over the weekend, beaches and the nearby parks were restricted to active recreation only and all parking lots were closed. Groups could not be greater than nine people, coolers, beach chairs, umbrellas and barbecues were not allowed, and visitors were encouraged to socially distance and wear a mask.

Although some beachgoers snuck out a chair or managed to get a little sun bathing in, most groups along East Beach all the way to Leadbetter Beach were smaller than five people and remained a safe distance from each other. Despite the parking lot closures, there were plenty of runners and cyclists moving along the trail past the smattering of groups relaxing near the waves.

Beachgoers were not participating in explicitly Fourth of July activities like cooking out or setting off fireworks, but visitors could spot an American flag sundress or pair of swim shorts here and there.

“It’s been pretty good. We’re trying to tell people that they’ve got to keep moving and what not,

to stay active and not sit on the beach,” said Conner Kinney, a lifeguard on East Beach.

Mr. Kinney and his fellow lifeguards were out patrolling the beach all day starting at 10 a.m.

They said most beachgoers were compliant when asked to pack up or keep moving.

“In general they’re pretty nice.

The park rangers have been out here helping us out too,” said Mr. Kinney.

“Most people seem cool with (the closure). The people that are setting up camp just don’t know.

Everybody’s been pretty nice,” said Josh Kitt, another lifeguard.

Although there were fears over an influx of out of town visitors, Mr. Kinney and Mr. Kitt said the sparse crowd was a fair mix of both local and visiting beachgoers.

There were more people on the beach than one would expect with the closure, though the crowds on Saturday looked like any other nice day in Santa Barbara.

“I’d say it’s an average day, but not an average Fourth of July at all,” said Mr. Kinney.

“I’d say this is 1/50th of who’s usually down here compared to a normal Fourth of July,” said Mr. Kitt. email: cwhittle@newspress.com

Local beaches and the nearby parks were restricted to active recreation only Saturday afternoon in Santa Barbara.

s new sheriffâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s deputies or custody deputies begin their careers with the Santa Barbara Sheriffâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Office, they must solemnly swear to support and defend the Constitution of the United States and the Constitution of the state of California. During the swear-in ceremony, we incorporate a badge pinning that is usually done by a loved one. I always give a speech about the badge that each of us wears or carries as a law enforcement officer. Many of my executive, command and support staff have heard that speech dozens, if not hundreds, of times, but I believe it is a message that bears repeating.

I advise the newly minted deputies that the badge is the most important accoutrement theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll have as a peace officer. The symbolism of the badge, whether itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a star-shape or an oval, is always the same. It represents an ancient warriorâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s shield â&#x20AC;&#x201C; a shield of protection. The symbolism is two-fold, representing the protection we provide to the community, and the

way to protect others no matter their race, creed or color â&#x20AC;&#x201C; and the very, very small percentage of bad police officers who abuse their authority and engage in brutal or otherwise unlawful behavior.

It is also important for everyone to understand how infrequent fatal confrontations between the police and members of the public actually are. Consider this.

While deaths at the hands of the police are uncommon, deaths of unarmed people are rare.

According to the FBI and the Washington Post, 1,004 people were killed by law enforcement officers in the United States last year. The overwhelming majority of those deaths were justifiable homicides committed by officers defending their lives or the lives of other people. Of those 1,004 killed, 41 (4%) were unarmed. Of those 41, 19 were white and 9 were black.

(The remaining 13 were either Hispanic or â&#x20AC;&#x153;other,â&#x20AC;? including Asians and Native Americans.)

Please donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t get me wrong. Just because cases like the unjustified killing of George Floyd are rare doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t mean we shouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t be concerned about them, or shouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t work to prevent them.

Quite the contrary, we must do everything we reasonably can do to stop anyone from dying so senselessly and unnecessarily in the future. Steps that can be taken towards that goal include enhanced law enforcement training in a variety of areas, especially in an officerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s duty to intervene if another officer is using excessive and/ or unnecessary force. Police and members of all communities should seek to better understand and know each other. Certain communities need to achieve positive changes in both police and community culture, as well as improvements in policecommunity relations. Such changes need to be driven by both law enforcement officers and members of the community.      At this point in our nationâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s history, there should also be a universal call for justice. Justice for what happened to George Floyd, and for anyone else who has been the victim of unlawful police misconduct, but also justice for the federal officer who was slain in Oakland and his family, for the five cops in Las Vegas and St. Louis who were shot while trying to restore order, for the hundreds of cops across our nation who have been injured as a result of recent civil disturbances, and justice for the countless shopkeepers and small business owners whose life savings and dreams have now been burned, stolen or destroyed. They, too, deserve justice.

At the beginning of those swear-in ceremonies I mentioned earlier I advise our new deputies to always practice the Golden Rule of Good Law Enforcement.

That is, after each and every encounter they have with another person, whether a colleague, a member of the public, a criminal suspect or a jail inmate, they need to ask themselves this important question: If I was that person, would I honestly feel as though I had been treated fairly, courteously and professionally? I tell them that if the answer to that question is yes, then theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re doing a good job. If the answer to that question is no, then they need to recognize what was missing, and make it right the next time.

We value professionalism in the Sheriffâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Office, and we are committed to having the best in our agency. The best training, the best equipment, the best policies, and, most importantly, the best people. Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re certainly not perfect, because weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re human, but we strive for excellence as we work to achieve our five core values: Service, Integrity, Caring, Courage and Fairness.

The way Mr. Floyd was treated is the antithesis of good police work. I would never stand for that as your sheriff, but more importantly, none of the members of the Santa Barbara Sheriffâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Office would ever stand for it either. To move past this tragic moment in our history we must come together with our community partners, especially those in our minority communities. We must communicate with each other, learn from one another, and build or mend bridges of trust between each other.

An unforgettable fig tree Marvel stands proudly

by Santa Barbara intersection

T

By DAVE MASON NEWS-PRESS MANAGING EDITOR

rees are great at aging gracefully and growing powerfully.

Look at this one, thriving after 145 years in Santa Barbara. It has become one of the largest Moreton Bay fig trees in North America.

Its history goes back to 1875 when Adeline Crabb planted the future towering tree at 201 State St. A year later, the tree, which is an Australian species, was moved to its current location at Montecito and Chapala streets.

In 1997, the treeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s circumference was measured as 420½ feet. Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s at 4½ feet above the ground.

The average crown spread was 176 feet. The total height was 80 feet.

The treeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s scientific name is Ficus macrophylla, but you can describe this Santa Barbara version better with one word: Wow.

LETTERS TO THE NEWS-PRESS

Council to vote on funding COVID-19 Small Business Assistance Program

Please write county about helicopters They fly high, they fly low. They fly near. They fly far. When they fly near and low, they are loud.

Neighbors complain. They rattle windows and fray nerves.

On July 7, the Santa Barbara County Board of Supervisors will decide whether to overturn the Planning Commission’s denial of Pat Nesbitt’s request for the right to land personal-use helicopters on his private estate near Summerland.

If granted, the Pandora’s Helicopter Box of permits opens to many area property owners who would like the same entitlements, even though the airport is an easy 20-minute drive away. If granted, the South Coast becomes a Los Angeles helicopter commuter community.

If you dislike helicopters flying over your home, or landing on a neighbor’s property and do not want our community turned into a helicopter commuter’s paradise, then immediately send e-mails to: sbcob@countyofsb.org

Board of Supervisors County of Santa Barbara Re: Nesbitt / Carpinteria Farms Helispot Appeal Case No. 19CUP-00000-00004 Requesting the board to: a. Deny Nesbitt’s appeal; b. Amend codes to ban all similar uses from Carpinteria through Goleta; and c. Work with the Santa Barbara Airport Authority and elected officials in Washington to require all copter traffic between L.A. and Santa Barbara to travel 2 miles offshore or over the mountains, from the Ventura County line to SB Airport.

This is exactly the same type of routing request that communities near airports have successfully made to reduce noise impacts from airport takeoffs and landings.

Thank you.

HIGGINS, Daniel Francis

Daniel Francis Higgins died of cancer and of cancer treatment in the early morning of June 22, 2020, in Santa Barbara, California. Dan was born in Decatur, Illinois, on February 24, 1946, the eldest of the five children of John Higgins and Jane Shaw Higgins. He excelled as both a student and an athlete during his primary and secondary schooling, and was proud of his academic achievements and his position on his high school football team. Dan continued his education at the University of Illinois (Champaign) and, in 1968, he received a B.S. degree in Engineering Physics. He then moved to California to study at the California Institute of Technology (Cal Tech) from which he received an M.S. in Physics degree in 1970. After graduation, he entered the United States Air Force with the rank of First Lieutenant and served his country as a research scientist at the Kirtland Air Force Base in Albuquerque, New Mexico. Upon honorable discharge in 1972, he accepted a position in Santa Barbara at Mission Research Corporation where he was engaged in research on electromagnetic effects. Some years later, he worked at JAYCOR, another research company. The final phase of Dan’s career involved a very different kind of scientific work. He accepted a position at UCSB at the National Center for Ecological Analysis and Synthesis. He worked at NCEAS for seven years before retiring and took delight in meeting researchers from around the world and learning about the ecological issues they were investigating.

In 1974, Dan met Jo-Ann Shelton on a Sierra Club hike at Figueroa Mountain. They were married on June 21, 1975, and enjoyed 45 very happy years together. Dan and JoAnn shared a love of animals and found joy in caring for a large menagerie, including dogs and cats (all “rescues”), horses, a pig and a chicken. Dan was fond of telling stories about their animal companions, especially about the amazing intelligence of his Arabian horse, Sur Neetar, and the exploits of Stella the pig.

Dan and Jo-Ann also shared a love of travel and adventure. They travelled extensively throughout Europe, and to Greenland, Australia, Morocco, Indonesia, Costa Rica, New Zealand, Egypt and many other places. All their experiences were positive. Everywhere they went, they met kind and helpful people. Their favorite location (besides Santa Barbara, of course) was Rome, and they made frequent visits to the Eternal City. During their most recent sojourn, they rented an apartment near Campo di Fiori and right across the street from a favorite restaurant, Da Pancrazio. Dan recommends their Bucatini all’Amatriciana.

Dan loved trail rides with his beloved Sur Neetar, discussing current events, snorkeling at the Great Barrier Reef, walking the dogs at Wilcox, and attending the productions of Ensemble Theater and SBCC Theater Group. He disliked narrow-mindedness and dishonesty.

Dan cherished the friendships of the YMCA Tai Chi group, and Jo-Ann is very grateful for their support during the difficult period of his illness, made even more difficult by the COVID restrictions which prevented hospital visits and social contact. The restrictions are sensible and necessary, but they do make patients and their families feel very isolated. Nonetheless the staff at Cottage Hospital – nurses, doctors, aides, technicians, counsellors – do an outstanding job of caring for patients and their families during these challenging times. Also deserving of heartfelt thanks are Yellow Cab driver, Hernan, and our wonderful neighbors, Barry and Sue, Kathy, David and Vicki.

Dan was slow to anger and quick to forgive. He was a kind, strong, honest, funny, tolerant, and wise man. And he was the very best of husbands.

Dan is survived by his brothers Timothy, Patrick (and wife Donna), and Kelly, his sister Rena Leake (and husband Dave), his sister-in-law and brother-in-law, Maxine and Kimber Hasselriis, and several nieces and nephews. He was predeceased just a few weeks ago by Kelly’s wife, Donna Libby.

Always proud of his Irish heritage, Dan wanted his death to be commemorated with a wake. Since COVID restrictions preclude large social gatherings, the wake will be postponed. In the near future, a Zoom memorial may be arranged.

If you wish to make a charitable donation in Dan’s memory, please consider VNA Health, 512 E. Gutierrez Street, Santa Barbara, 93103, or PAWS (Performing Animal Welfare Society), P.O. Box 849, Galt, Ca 95632.

BRACE, William A.

William A. Brace, at home surrounded by his family, passed away peacefully on June 14, 2020 at the age of 86.

He was born in Pittsfield, Illinois on January 4, 1934, to Lee W. Brace and Evelyn Jeanette Brace.

It was in rural Pike County, Illinois, under his father’s and older brother Bob’s tutelage, that Bill developed his passion for hunting, fishing and the great outdoors. He was an avid hunter and fisherman his entire life and instilled the same love for the sporting life in his sons and grandsons. Bill spent many hours together with his friends and his boys enjoying the ocean, the rivers and the marshland. Bill told stories of taking his shotgun to school on Fridays so he and his buddies could catch the bus to the “Dead Eye, Gun & Bottle Club” to hunt ducks right after the final bell.

Bill left Pittsfield as a young man to attend Illinois College in Jacksonville, where he met and married his wife of 66 years, Mary Lou Neirman. He had set his sights on being an attorney early in life and spent the next several years in college, the US Marine Corp. and law school. Upon passing the California Bar in 1961, the Braces settled in Santa Barbara, calling it home until his death.

Bill began his legal career with the Santa Barbara law firm known at the time as Cavaletto, Webster, Mullen and McCaughey located on Victoria Street. In 1966, Bill, James (“J.J.”) Hollister and Robert Angle formed the law firm, Hollister, Brace & Angle.

Eventually Angle left the firm and it became and is still known as Hollister & Brace located across from the courthouse on Santa Barbara Street. Bill retired from the law practice in 1989, thereafter dedicating his time and energy to family, friends, travel, charitable endeavors, hunting, fishing and backgammon. J.J. Hollister and Bill Brace remained lifelong friends.

Bill and Mary Lou embraced Santa Barbara and became an integral part of the community. Bill joined the Junior Chamber of Commerce (the “Jaycees”) and became its president two years later. The Childs Estate, now known as The Santa Barbara Zoo, became his charitable passion. The Jaycees were instrumental in the development and creation of the zoo and Bill maintained his passion for the zoo throughout his life. Bill’s special project was the train. He and his young family spent weekends laying track and were among the first to get a ride on the train that still circles the zoo grounds today.

He continued to support the train and managed to secure new donations for upgrades throughout the years. Bill served as President of the Santa Barbara Zoological Society from 1983 – 1985. During his presidency, he helped organized the first Zoofari Ball which has continued to be a major zoo fundraiser for 35 years. In honor and recognition of his work on behalf of the zoo, the Admissions Building was dedicated to him and a plaque commemorating this honor can be seen at the entrance to the zoo. After presentation of the plaque, he was often heard saying “Have you been to my zoo?”

He was a member of American Board of Trial Advocates and served as President of the Santa Barbara Bar Association. He was an active member of The University Club, The Pobres Trail Riders, The Pescatores, Los Fiesteros Dance Club and the Hollister Duck Club among others.

Bill had many hobbies to entertain himself in retirement. Along with hunting and fishing, he was an experienced gardener and loved to putter around his property. He loved the family cabin located on the Middlefork of the Salmon River and spent weeks at a time in the Frank Church Wilderness area. He was a skier and enjoyed an annual ski trip with a group of local attorneys. He took his BBQ and smoker seriously and was known for his smoked turkeys and huevos rancheros. And, he and Mary Lou loved to travel. The couple traveled the world and experienced life in many different countries but were always happy to return home to the beautiful city of Santa Barbara.

Bill is pre-deceased by his wife, Mary Lou; his parents Evelyn and Lee; brother, Robert Brace; and nephew, Michael Brace. He is survived by his children, Sandra Brace Zakis (Patrick), Robert L. Brace (Fernanda), Barbara Brace and William B. Brace (Meredith), his grandchildren, William Zakis, Ryan Zakis, Stephanie Zakis, Walker Brace, Charlotte Brace, Bolden Brace, Georgia Brace, Augustine Brace, Catalina Brace and Magdalena Brace, and nephew, James Brace.

Due to Covid-19, the celebration of Mary Lou’s life was postponed so fittingly, the family will privately celebrate Bill and Mary Lou together in the near future.

In lieu of flowers, donations can be made in his name to the Santa Barbara Zoo.

SOBINIAK, Louise Barbara Louise Barbara Sobiniak of Santa Barbara, 1937-2020 It is with a heavy heart that we say goodbye to the incomparable Louise Sobiniak. Louise, better known as “Dolli,” passed away in the early morning of Friday, June 26 at the age of 82. She was a Santa Barbara native, born on December 4th 1937 to Guadalupe Romero and Phillip Edwin Leyva. Dolli married twice and had four children, Dawn, Elizabeth, Barbara and Danny. She had eight grandchildren who captivated her attention from the moment they were born. She actively participated in the lives of her grandchildren near and far, cherishing her role as Grandma Dolli. Her grandchildren can tell tales of all sorts of adventures when they were told by their grandma “Don’t tell your parents!”

Dolli was considered “one of a kind” by those who knew her. She loved to get dressed up, go out and dance the night away. She loved shopping, especially at Christmas time, socializing and bling. She loved a good burger, hot salty fries and a carbonated soda.

She loved tending to her plants and watching the rain. These things made her feel alive and gave her joy.

Dolli is now finally reunited with her daughter, Dawn and her son, Danny who preceded her in death. The loss of her two children significantly devastated her well-being for the rest of her life. She is survived by her two children Elizabeth Nordblad and Barbara Abbott, as well, as her eight grandchildren, Allison, Christy, Derek, Emma, Philip, Danielle, Emmet, & Alicia. She is also survived by her sister Regina Delahay and her brother Phillip Paul Leyva and many nieces, nephews, cousins and in-laws.

She will be missed by many and never forgotten.

annual independent audits with all funds staying in Goleta?”

In other business Tuesday, the council will vote to allocate money to the city’s COVID-19 Small Business Assistance Program.

City staff is recommending council allocate $250,000 to the program, in which $200,000 would be awarded to Women’s Economic Ventures as a grant for their ReStart Loan Program and Basic Startup and Expansion Loans Program and $50,000 awarded to the Santa Barbara Foundation for the Better Together Small Business Grant Assistance Program.

As part of creating COVID-19 relief efforts in June, the council decided to not create a stand-alone small business assistance program and would instead partner with WEV and the foundation and assist with outreach efforts.

If approved, city funding assistance would be provided only to Goleta-based small businesses with a focus on reopening needs, according to a staff report.

“Both programs would be managed by the Neighborhood Services and Public Safety Department, through partnerships with other organizations,” read the staff report.

Lastly, the council will vote to approve Fiscal Year 2020/21 Goleta City Grant Program funding.

Norman Kjaer Anderson passed away at home from a heart attack on June 27, 2020. Norm was 89 years old and a long-time resident of Solvang and Santa Barbara.

Norman was born in Waukesha, WI to Marie and Henry Anderson on June 25, 1931. He grew up in Waukesha where he played high school football and earned Eagle Scout honors. In 1954 he graduated with a degree in Finance from the University of Wisconsin where he was also a member of Sigma Phi Epsilon Fraternity. Norm married Leah Peckat and moved to Santa Barbara in 1963. After Leah’s death, he married Barbara Engel in 1978.

Norman was a hard-working, successful entrepreneur. Before leaving Wisconsin, he established his own cheese import and distribution company. In California he owned and operated several businesses locally including: Mattei’s Tavern, Old Danish Food Farm Inc., Solvang Fudge Kitchen, and others.

For over 64 years Rotary International was an integral part of Norm’s life. He first joined in Waukesha at the age of 25. Later he became president of the Rotary Club of Santa Barbara and founded the Rotary Club of Santa Barbara Sunrise. While serving as the District Governor of District 5240, he established the district’s first PRLS Program and was a director of the International Rose Parade Float Committee. Throughout his tenure Norm attended 29 International Conventions, received 5 Paul Harris Fellow awards, and had perfect meeting attendance for 64 years. He was most recently a member of the Rotary Club of Los Olivos.

Norm had strong Christian values. At Trinity Lutheran Church in Santa Barbara, he was a long-time parishioner and served as the chairman of the building committee of the church’s current location. Later, he joined St. Mark’s-in-the-Valley Episcopal Church where he sang in the choir and served on the Vestry.

Norm the “Big Cheese” was known for his contagious smile, loving and warm personality, passion for travel, his philanthropic spirit, gentle demeanor and positive attitude. The holidays were always special to him, but most important was his family.

One of his favorite summer adventures was his annual trip to Door County, Wisconsin with Barbara. There Norm continued to fulfill his life-long love of boats and the water.

He had an incredible number of friends, with whom he loved to laugh and share stories.

He was extremely fond of his involvement in the Vikings of Solvang and was proud to have once served as the Grand Marshall of Solvang’s 4th of July Parade.

Norm is survived by his wife of 42 years Barbara; his four children: Amy (Michael) Mayfield, Barry (Kerry) Anderson, Allison (Don) Heiduk, Maurine (Trey) McAdams, 10 grandchildren (Addison, Kyle, Delaney Mayfield, Eric Norman (Allie) and Ryan Anderson, Timothy and Riley Heiduk, Taylor, Hayley, and Peyton McAdams) and 2 great-grandchildren (Adriana and Aria Anderson).

A gallery with its own vibe Former bus garage in Los Alamos becomes space for eclectic art

By DAVE MASON NEWS-PRESS MANAGING EDITOR

A

n old buggy and another classic vehicle, a 1953 Kaiser Manhattan, grab your attention when you walk into a cavernous, former bus garage in Los Alamos.

As you walk past the car, you see tall lamp posts and a decorative door under the sign “Local Artisans Enterprise.”

Beyond that in this highceilinged room are all kinds of art, from jewelry to paintings to even a wood rendition of the American flag.

Welcome to T&T Local Artisans Enterprise, 515 Bell St. It’s not your typical gallery.

“We wanted it to be very big and open,” Dan Thompson told the News-Press.

Mr. Thompson owns T&T Local Artisans Enterprise and the Depot Mall full of antique shops next door. In fact, he owns this entire Bell Street block and had been using T&T Local Artisans Enterprise for overflow storage from the Depot Mall.

Social distancing is no problem in the 5,000-squarefoot gallery, with plenty of space between the artists’ areas, which go around the perimeter. Some of the art is in the middle of the room.

The structure has the feel of a county fair, in which you walk from booth to booth, see the art and read biographies on the artists. Mr. Thompson said space has been left out front for possible, future demonstrations by artists.

He praised James McCullar for creating artists’ display walls that can easily be collapsed and moved around as needed.

“Thanks to Jim’s excellent work, we can move them around.”

To support small businesses and give artists a place to show their works, Mr. Thompson converted the building into T&T Local Artisans Enterprise with a soft opening on Black Friday in November. He said former owners of the property called it T & T because their names started with a T. The number of artists grew from 25 to about 60, from between Santa Barbara and San Luis Obispo.

“It’s pretty evenly spaced. We have a lot of artists from Santa Barbara, a few Los Alamos people and artists from Lompoc, Santa maria, Guadalupe, San Luis Obispo,” manager Adria Chalfin told the News-Press.

A walk around the booths shows everything from a guitar turned into an art piece to wood clocks to fabric arts.

The mix of eclectic art was intentional, Ms. Chalfin said. “We have oils, acrylics, pastels, fine art and digital art photographers, watercolors, metals, cloth art, pottery, handmade clothing.

“I think that’s what everybody appreciates. They get to see what kind of art is in the community,” she said.

“There isn’t a person who comes in here who doesn’t rave about their lovely, beautiful experience here,” Ms. Chalfin said. She noted people tell her, “This was so needed here.”

Mr. Thompson noted the uniqueness of the art works. “All of these pieces have soul.”

Mr. Thompson said he was surprised by the gallery’s popularity with artists and customers alike. “I knew there was a desire to have more retail here, but I was surprised by how they reacted and how well it’s actually done.”

He noted the business keeps costs affordable for artists with the gallery’s 10% commission on

“It makes all the sense in the world to use this space in that way,” said Dan Thompson, who turned a former bus garage into T&T Artisans Enterprise in Los Alamos.

the sales.

“Artists need a venue,” Ms. Chalfin said.

Mr. Thompson said the gallery, which closed during the earlier stages of the pandemic like other businesses, has done well since reopening. Like in other buildings, customers, artists and staff alike wear masks.

Before T&T Artisans Enterprise, Mr. Thompson worked as an artist — a photographer, to be precise.

The Santa Barbara native earned his GED in 1983 after attending Santa Barbara and Santa Ynez Valley Union high schools. Afterward, he attended Seattle Pacific University but returned to Santa Barbara, where he earned his bachelor’s in media in 1989 at Brooks Institute of Photography.

After working in photography, he worked with his father, contractor Jerry Thompson (the builder of the Maverick Saloon in Santa Ynez), in property management.

Dan Thompson moved during the mid-1990s to Los Alamos and went on to buy properties. “We look for odd ducks and figure out what to do with them.”

He purchased the nearby building in his block in 2001 and turned it into the Depot Mall.

Mr. Thompson, who resides at homes today in Los Alamos and San Luis Obispo, explained he is happy to have turned another large building into the T&T Artisans Enterprise. “It makes all the sense in the world to use this space in that way.”

And that 1953 Kaiser Manhattan? It used to belong to Mr. Thompson’s father, and Ms. Chalfin said it’s great to have it parked inside the gallery.

“It’s a work of art.” email: dmason@newspress.com

BY BYRON AND HARRISON WALDEN / EDITED BY WILL SHORTZ

Byron Walden is a math and computer science professor at Santa Clara University. Harrison is his 8-year-old son, who, with occasional assistance, has been doing crosswords for more than a year. The jokes in this puzzleâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s theme are a collaboration between the two. Byron spearheaded the fill â&#x20AC;&#x201D; although the top right and lower left corners are completely Harrisonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s. The two wrote the clues together. â&#x20AC;&#x201D; W.S.

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

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.

boys cause woman angst

D

ear Abby: Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m a happily married woman in my 30s.

Although we donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have children yet, many of our friends do. Some of them have boys who are approaching or are already in their early teens.

Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m embarrassed to even ask, but what are the best ways to avoid or immediately stop unwanted just-reachingpuberty attention from young boys? I am modest in my attire, I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t interact more than I need to with them and I would never want to harm a child. But the looks and actions I get from some of them have my stomach churning.

I need to know how to appropriately Abigail shut it down.

Van Buren My husband just chuckles and shrugs his shoulders, saying, â&#x20AC;&#x153;They just want to talk to girls.â&#x20AC;? I feel sick. Please help. â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Unwanted Attention Dear Unwanted Attention: Unless you have left something out of your letter, what the boys are doing is normal adolescent boy behavior. However, because you feel some of them have crossed the line, you should tell their parents.

Dear Abby: My sister-in-law visits from out of state each year and stays with us for about a week. When sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s here she invites her friends to our house and entertains them without asking us if we mind.

I feel itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s extremely rude, but my husband says we need to â&#x20AC;&#x153;put up and shut upâ&#x20AC;? because sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s family. I feel she could easily go to their homes to visit instead of inviting everyone here.

Is my husband correct?

Am I wrong thinking sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s being inappropriate as a houseguest? â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Confused Host in the East Dear Confused: As your houseguest, your sisterin-law should have been asking you and your husband whether you minded having her friends over during her visit. She should also have bought food and beverages to accommodate them, and a house gift for the two of you. However, because she has been getting away with it for years, do not expect her to change. The time to have spoken up was the first time she did it.

Dear Abby: Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m 22 and Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m sick and tired of letting myself get caught up with men who are already in a relationship, â&#x20AC;&#x153;halfwayâ&#x20AC;? single, or claim to just occupy the same house as their ex. I know some people may say I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t know what a real relationship is, or I should be enjoying my 20s instead of worrying about a serious relationship, but I have an old soul. I know Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m different from most people my age.

Could I be attracting the wrong men, or could it be my preferences in men? How can I go about attracting the right young man who wants the same things I do and isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t already tied to someone? â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Wants My Own Man Dear Wants Your Own Man: Where are you meeting the men you mentioned in your letter? If itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s happening in bars and clubs, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s time to change venues. As my dear departed grandfather used to say, â&#x20AC;&#x153;You wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t catch trout in a herring barrel.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.

Bowing out of a family wedding with no COVID-19 precautions

D

ear Carolyn: My fiance and I are both doctors in a midsize American city. Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve spent the last several months, like so many in health care and in the world beyond, absolutely horrified by COVID-19 and shocked that some donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t seem to be taking it seriously. Given our work, weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve been as vigilant as possible; we care for COVID patients and recognize we are at high risk to be potential vectors.

My fianceâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s sister is supposed to get married this month in a different state. Despite our frequently voiced discomfort, the current plan is for a 95-person wedding â&#x20AC;&#x201D; grandparents and all! â&#x20AC;&#x201D; in his parentsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; backyard with absolutely no covid precautions.

Masks and physical distancing are not on the table; they say things have â&#x20AC;&#x153;gone back to normalâ&#x20AC;? where they are. They do not live in New Zealand; they live here, in the United States of America.

They get their news from far more conservative sources than we do, donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t know people who have been sick and donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t think it can happen to them. Their only concession has been to say they will understand if we feel we canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t come.

It feels like any decision we make is wrong.

My fiance desperately wants to be there for his sisterâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s wedding, but it is hard to imagine spending 36 hours in situations that are risky and socially negligent.

So. Do we stay home? If we go, do we wear masks and attempt to physically distance when this, quite clearly, will be completely out of place and seen as a political statement? If we donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t go, how do we bow out gracefully while preserving what we can of our relationships? â&#x20AC;&#x201D; A Human Who Believes in Science â&#x20AC;&#x201D; A Human Who Believes in Science: You both care for COVID patients. So, in the

TONIGHT

ultimate gesture of love, you both stay home so you donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t risk bringing the virus to the party.

All the details you include about states and politics and older guests and his familyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not knowing anyone with COVID help to illuminate why your decision might have other, complicated emotional consequences.

But they donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t change the fundamentals: There are right and wrong decisions here, and your mingling with people who refuse to take precautions poses enough risk to be the wrong one. Your fiance can frame it as a sacrifice for his family that heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s making with a heavy heart and complete confidence thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s no other responsible choice. â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Dear Carolyn: My friend just told me her husband is having an emotional affair with another of our friends.

She lives a few hours away, so I canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t just hop over.

Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m seeing her soon. Aside from listening and being there for her, what can I do? Can you help me with language and framing so I can give her the right support during this time? Calling him an idiot isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t going to heal her. â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Anonymous Anonymous: Neither will ice cream, but that doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t mean it canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t be part of a larger strategy.

Do listen, yes, a lot. She will likely reveal what she needs.

But when it feels appropriate, also steer her away from him and back to herself. What does she feel, what does she want â&#x20AC;&#x201D; and, whom does she want to be? Agony is grief for the old; as sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s ready, help her envision the new.

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

IDEAS & COMMENTARY

Let’s be proud of America the beautiful

T

untarnished

Continued from Page A10

Prior to being elected sheriff I had the privilege of being Lompoc’s police chief. During my first week on the job I had a visit from the Rev. Dan Tullis, the African-American pastor of the Grace Temple Missionary Baptist Church. He was a huge man with a booming bass voice, and when he shook my hand, I remember his hand was so large I thought he might be wearing a catcher’s mitt. Dan told me he wanted to welcome me to the community, to get to know me, and to be a resource for me. At the conclusion of our brief meeting he gave me his card and said, “Call me if you need me.”

That encounter began a friendship that lasted for the next 13 years. Dan and I soon began to meet for lunch regularly.

I discovered that his heart was

This our government and our cancer on our body politic institutions by way of force and seeks to denigrate the memory mob rule, something antithetical of our heroes. Moreover, some to the American way of life and activists are demanding we tear freedom. down statues of Jesus too.

The three distinct political, I readily admit that America economic and social movements has never been perfect, nor have that seek to build on the ash the men and women who helped heap of America are anarchists, to form, forge and fight for this socialists and globalists. country. However, I believe we can The anarchists want “freedom” and must improve America rather with no accountability or than let it be destroyed. responsibility. The socialists want Accordingly, we must withstand a totalitarian-style government the three political, economic, and free to control every facet of social constructs that can only people’s lives at the expense of succeed at the expense of our individual liberty. The globalists destiny, heritage, liberty, freedom seek to usurp the independence and right to self-determination, of individual nation states, which not to mention our personal

responsibilities.

All of this reminds me of the quote: “Man is God’s method. Man is looking for better methods. God is looking for better men” (E.M. Bounds). That is, we have always strived to be a nation of free men and women united for the common good. Admittedly, however, that will always be a work in progress dependent upon the work and sacrifice of men like Abraham Lincoln and Martin Luther King.

Finally, our common good depends upon a guarantee of opportunity by means of liberty rather than imposed universal basic outcomes by means of government command and control — i.e., tyranny by another name.

Hence, it is not only monuments that are being torn down. The insurrectionists are going after our foundations, including the foundations of one nation under God, along with the law-and-order institutions which are meant to serve, guarantee and protect our liberty as self-governed people.

Let us withstand the same.

even bigger than he was. He told me of his upbringing as the son of a poor sharecropper, and how he picked cotton as a child in the humid Alabama heat. He shared personal stories of the racism and intolerance he experienced growing up in the deep south, and during the beginning of his 20year Air Force career.

He also taught me how through God’s grace he was able to put those inequities behind him, move forward and become a successful minister who led the same church for 22 years.

We found we both wanted our people – his congregation and my officers – to do what was right.

He taught me the importance of trying to see things from the viewpoint of people who didn’t grow up like I did, and I think I taught him the exact same thing.

Dan and I became friends, and from our friendship we developed a deep and abiding trust for one another. We talked

to practice good community policing, partnering with those we serve to identify and solve problems relating to crime, fear of crime, neighborhood decay and quality of life issues. We’ll build on old relationships and develop new ones.

We’ll continue to seek alternatives to incarceration for those who suffer from substance abuse and mental illness, and we’ll continue to give inmates in our jail the tools they need to be successful when they are released. We’ll listen more, talk less and hold each other accountable. Above all, we’ll strive to treat people fairly, courteously and professionally.

We’ll do all that because as peace officers, we are a part of, not apart from, our community. It is an honor to serve and protect all the people of Santa Barbara County. We stand with you, and we are here for you during this painful and difficult time.

about things people are afraid to talk about: politics, religion, race relations, death, and how lonely it can be at the top. Although we often disagreed and argued, we never got mad at one other. We respected each other and we were resources for each other.

Dan had a wonderful sense of humor, and we constantly teased each other and laughed together.

Whenever I was with him, he lifted me up.

When he died in 2009, his family asked me to eulogize him at his memorial service, something I will always consider to be one of the great honors of my career. Not all cops and persons of color are going to be able to develop the type of relationship that Dan and I had, but I sure hope they try.

Our badges were tarnished by what happened in Minneapolis, but we will continue to work in ways that will restore their luster. We’ll do so by continuing

letters to the news-press Mask mandate raises some troubling questions

C

alifornia Gov. Gavin Newsom recently mandated face masks be required for all of California, via the California Department of Public Health.

It was a controversial move.

Although there is public support, there is a lot of resistance to it.

People resent being told what to do, and many are skeptical about the science because of conflicting messages from health officials and doctors. What about people getting sick because they wear the masks daily?

There are other troubling questions. Was Gov. Newsom’s mandate political? Was it done to spread fear, maintain control and punish conservative Orange County for allowing the choice to wear a face mask?

Furthermore, who will enforce it, and do we really want to criminalize Americans over masks?

The Tulare Police Department opts for education and encouragement of the mandate, rather than outright enforcement.

They will focus on crimes and criminals.

Other police departments agree, especially with a lack of resources.

Finally, does this mandate make sense? Does one size fit all (cities/ rural areas)?

Why are we allowing Gov. Newsom to control our lives?

Developer’s dream could be Solvang’s nightmare

M

y letter is in regard to the complex that the developer Mr. St. George is attempting to build in Solvang. I attended a meeting with him and other Solvang citizens on June 27.

After a meeting with Mr. St George, I have discovered that he is not just a developer with plans

to build an immense project, dwarfing the Veterans Memorial Hall by putting up a four-story business complex along Mission Drive in Solvang, he is also psychic.

And he is a uniquely gifted storyteller of both fairy tales and horror stories He has predicted that the airlines will never come back and that the people in L.A. will no longer fly to vacation destinations.

They will all come to Solvang. We will benefit from the coronavirus.

If he builds his complex “they will come,” in his field of dreams.

People will now come to Solvang, not just for a weekend, they will come for days, a week or multiple weeks. They will come to stay in his $400-$1,000 per night hotel rooms to “rejuvenate” in his spa and fitness center. Solvang will become a health retreat where everyone will ride bicycles everywhere! We will become just like Europe – a phrase he used repeatedly and repeatedly. This is the fairytale.

Now for the nightmare.

The library will be torn down.

He has informed us that books are a thing of the past. We do not need a library with books. The young people of today, who are of course the ONLY ones who go to a library, do everything through technology.

So we do not need a library, we need a technology center, which he will provide — a place where all the state-of-the-art technology is available, instead of obsolete books. Oh, there will be “some” children’s books thrown in.

Mr. St. George does not seem to recognize that America is not Europe. We have a different culture. We do not wish to substitute our culture for another.

Most American families work for a living and are not free to spend days and weeks to “rejuvenate” on a continuous basis

Sheriff Bill Brown writes about law enforcement - A10

gUEST OPINION

here is no country on Earth with greater diversity and opportunity than America, albeit, we are not, and never will be, perfect.

Nevertheless, we will always aspire to a more perfect union of the people, by the people and for the people. That is our legacy as Americans.

Unfortunately, however, this July 4 weekend, there are not enough leaders defending these truths, as insurrectionists tear down and trample monuments dedicated to our heritage.

To understand today’s threat, we must remind ourselves that independence and liberty are in our DNA. Our freedom only works, however, when every individual citizen takes personal responsibility for their own wellbeing and shares corporate responsibility for the good of the country.

Truly, America was built on the premise of God-given unalienable rights administered by a government that would be susceptible to error, usury and aggrandizement. Hence, Thomas Jefferson suggested we deal with that eventuality by way of spilling the blood of tyrants, if

ANOTHER OPINION:

in any location and certainly not exclusively in Solvang. There is no overwhelming demand for our existing exclusive locations. In fact, it is extremely slow during certain times of the year. There is not a demand for what he is offering.

People do read books — they want to read books. It is important for us to read books and have them available to all ages. Just because Mr. St. George has decided we don’t, does not make it so.

When asked what happens if he builds it and “they don’t come”?

His reply was, “That is a chance I am willing to take.”

We are so relieved that it is a chance HE is willing to take.

Because if it fails, he will walk away and will leave Solvang business owners and residents with a white elephant monstrosity far larger than the Outlet Mall at the south end of Solvang, which still looks abandoned.

We warned the developers back then, and we are warning this developer now that his idea will not work here. We were correct back then, and we are correct now.

What he is proposing is not the kind of experience visitors come here for. He cannot change American culture to the European plan he desires. What he purposes will tremendously harm our community while he goes off into the sunset to the retirement he has planned in his beloved Europe.

Mr. St. George needs to leave the Veterans Memorial Hall (and its surrounding structures) alone. It belongs to the citizens of Solvang, and it is not for sale. He needs to build something on the property he already owns that will enhance our town. This way he will succeed and so will Solvang. Everyone can win.
