‘Critical, make-or-break window’ Hospitality industry aims to maximize demand before summer ends

Teresa Stiff, general manager of West Beach Inn since 2001, has noted more people reserving rooms at the hotel over the past month.

By JORGE MERCADO NEWS-PRESS STAFF WRITER

In Santa Barbara, tourism is one of the region’s largest economic sectors generating a lot of revenue. COVID-19 has decimated a huge portion of those tourists, however, as travel restrictions and general worriness has limited those seeking the beautiful Santa Barbara sunshine.

Nevertheless, over the past few weeks the hotel industry is seeing a steady increase in reservations.

“Absolutely, we are seeing more people wanting to come in,” Teresa Stiff, general manager of the West Beach Inn, told the News-Press.

Ms. Stiff, who has been the general manager since 2001, noted that she’s seen people excited to go to a hotel, even if it’s just for a weekend. Most visitors are more local, as people are doing less airline traveling.

“It’s almost like they are desperate, they’re just exhausted and they’re just fed up and they are relieved that we are open,” Ms. Stiff said.

While the relief is nice, she added that revenue is not where it would be for a normal summer month. Ms. Stiff pointed out that typically, summer months are when hotels see a lot of business.

She estimates that they are making a bit more than 50% of what they would normally be making.

Still, while the revenue might not be up to usual demand, Ms. Stiff is happy with the way her hotel is currently operating.

“We were open the entire time and at the beginning we wouldn’t even fill up 10%, or five, of our rooms at one time. Now, we are filling up at least 30 rooms at a time, and we have even been selling out some weekends,” Ms. Stiff said.

Kathy Janega-Dykes, president and CEO of Visit Santa Barbara, noted a similar trend.

“We’ve seen a slow and steady increase in hotel stays over the last few weeks, which has been encouraging, but South Coast occupancy, as of the latest report, was at 51%, compared to 88% this time last year,” Ms. Janega-Dykes told the News-Press in an email.

“That said, compared to performance in some of the other California destinations that Santa Barbara usually competes with, such as several Southern California beach towns,

With the ongoing pandemic forcing the shutdown of the majority of schools across the state, Assemblymember Monique Limón, D-Santa Barbara, hosted a virtual meeting Wednesday with California Superintendent of Public Instruction Tony Thurmond to provide an update on what is being done to make sure the virtual learning process is as smooth as possible.

Assemblymember Limón was joined by State Sen. HannahBeth Jackson as well as Rep. Salud Carbajal. Also on the call were Santa Barbara County Superintendent of School Dr. Susan Salcido and Ventura County Superintendent of Schools Stan Mantooth.

“We wanted to provide to you answers from the individuals who are making it happen not just at the state level, but also here locally,” Ms. Limón said.

The biggest issues schools face as they move to remote learning for at least fall instruction is that not every student has access to the internet or the proper devices.

Mr. Thurmond cited that about 700,000 students across the state are without a device, prompting him to create a task force to “close the digital divide.”

This includes raising money through donations and also arranging a deal with internet service providers to provide free or low-cost internet in places where it is available.

“That means if you’re a family that wants to use the reduced cost internet, you don’t have to give your social security number, you don’t have to give anything about your financial history. If anybody asks you for that you tell him the state superintendent said you didn’t have to give that because that’s what our task force negotiated,” Mr. Thurmond said.

“We didn’t want anybody being given any fuss, any muss, about applications. If you want it, you

should get it.”

Currently, Mr. Thurmond says he has distributed about 100,000 computing devices and more than 150,000 hotspots, but acknowledged that is not enough.

Those interested in donating can email donatetech@cde.ca.gov.

Additionally, Mr. Thurmond said as the state moves to go into remote learning, family development programs and more mental health programs are being initiated to help students and families adapt to the new normal.

“Every school district got a letter from me this week letting them know that there’s $5.2 billion to use for distance learning to purchase devices, to support social and emotional learning programs, and to support professional development for educators,” Mr. Thurmond said.

He added that he has created a counseling coalition and has spoken with social workers, school psychologists and others to build a network for students so they have the support needed.

Mr. Mantooth agreed, adding Please see VIRTUAL on A2 Former San Marcos wide receiver Josh Brown recently moved to Erie, Pa., to attend Gannon University and is excited for his football career to resume.

we’re doing moderately better.”

While the hotel is not offering its usual brunch breakfast or other amenities, Ms. Stiff still believes people will be pleased with the service.

“I mean, I am still so blessed, our place is still great. I really like our place because we’ve never gotten into the resort fee, parking fee, Wi-Fi fee. It’s just room and tax so we have always been refreshing and our regulars are excited to come here,” she said.

Cleaning has also been a big part of any business during this time. For West Beach Inn, it has added more sanitizers for guests to take with them and will spend extra hours cleaning common areas and rooms.

Overall, Ms. Stiff is happy with the small revival in her hotel and hopes to continue

seeing the trend upward.

“I’m always a very positive person and I know that we will guide our way through this situation,” Ms. Stiff said.

“I’m not looking to go back to normal. We’re going to have a new normal and I’m willing to adjust and be flexible with change and I already see optimism, it’s not so bad. We also live in paradise so I feel very blessed.”

For Visit Santa Barbara, a destination marketing organization for the Santa Barbara South Coast, its goal is to get people to visit the city, and stay at nice hotels like the West Beach Inn. When the stay-at-home order was lifted on June 12, Visit Santa Barbara gradually returned to marketing the region, primarily Please see HOTELS on A5

not heading east. “I was always all in,� he said. “You know, it’s free school so you can’t really complain. I didn’t ever see a reason in staying back and taking online classes at City College when I could come here for free and practice and get better. It’s the same with Ben too. We had a talk together and we said, ‘There’s absolutely zero reason not to come out here.’�

Gannon is set to begin its fall semester on Aug. 10 with inperson instruction, though some classes will operate under a hybrid model. “All the students are living on campus, classes are in person, so there was really no hesitation for us, or no reason for us not to go,�

Partee explained.

Brown added that even if classes were online they would want to get acclimated to their new teammates and campus.

The Golden Knights have continued to hold voluntary, non-padded practices in lieu of the traditional preseason camp.

There is no set date when padded practices would resume. This has meant more time for Partee and Brown to improve what was already a dynamic chemistry.

Brown had 73 receptions for 1,173 yards and 17 touchdowns last season for San Marcos, while Partee passed for 2,210 yards and completed 20 touchdown passes.

Both set new school records.

Through 7-on-7 passing drills and skill training, Partee and Brown have been able to work with their coaches and learn from their teammates.

The team will have a six-day per week schedule until classes begin, starting with a 6 a.m. wake up call and breakfast. The team conducts weight lifting three days a week and uses the remaining days for football training and drills.

All team activities, and campus activities, have required students to wear masks nearly 100% of the time.

The only time Partee and Brown haven’t had a face covering has been performing reps in the weight room. Due to the coronavirus pandemic, the students are required to have a temperature check and answer questions on a mobile app called “Live Safe,� for daily wellness checks. Once completed, the students receive a green check and are able to pick up lunch, enter dorms or other campus buildings. “You get your green check on the app, you wear your mask and get your temperature taken and then you’re good to go for the day,�

Partee said.

Brown and Partee have been tested for COVID-19 three times since moving to campus, all coming back negative. The team has not reported any positive COVID-19 cases, they said.

Both are looking forward to their fellow freshmen moving in Monday as they begin freshmen week of welcome. “We’re not necessarily sure what that’s going to look like because of COVID, but I’m guessing there will be activities within our dorms and kind of icebreaker things,� Partee said.

Partee will be taking part in Gannon’s five-year dual program with its business and engineering schools, pursuing his masters in business with a bachelors in mechanical engineering. He was San Marcos’ Male Scholar-Athlete of the Year with a grade-point average of 4.8. Brown is majoring in business while also taking sports science courses.

Santa Barbara High quarterback Deacon Hill intends on competing with the Dons this season, despite the start of the year being postponed due to the coronavirus.

Making the leap from San Marcos to a Div. II football program is no easy task, but the duo is hopeful their summer training will pay dividends.

Partee has been able to work with “Throw To Win QB Coach� Sam Fisher, while Brown has added 10 lbs of weight and muscle. They both credit San Marcos coach Jason Fowle and the Royals staff for helping them with the transition. “Coach Fowle definitely prepared us super, super well for getting into college and being able to understand and learn these playbooks and these concepts,�

Brown said. “It’s just little tweaks here and there, a lot more formations.�

Partee added, “We’re grateful that we had coach Fowle. He really prepared us well, as well as the rest of the coaching staff at San Marcos.�

Trading in their surfboards for snowshoes has seemed crazy to some Santa Barbarans, they admitted, but the two have made the most of the recent move.

They’ve visited Presque Isle State Beach and been able to walk in the white sand, gone golfing and rented jet skis. �It’s not like, ‘oh it’s Pennsylvania, there’s nothing there and no mountains,’� Brown said. “We’re in the middle of downtown Erie by the lake with plenty to do.�

‘I’ve got some unfinished business’ While some Division I commits have elected to sit out the upcoming high school football season, that will not be the case for Santa Barbara High’s Deacon Hill.

Hill, who committed to play football at the University of Wisconsin as part of the Badger’s 2021 recruiting class in advance of his junior campaign a season ago, told the News-Press unequivocally he will be suiting up for the olive and gold once the season starts in the winter. “I’m not leaving. I’ve got some unfinished business left here,� said Hill. “As soon as I heard we were having a season, I knew I was staying. As soon as the word came out. “I grew up with these boys and we dreamt about playing as seniors and finishing high school together, so that’s what I’m going to do.�

Hill, who shared the Channel League Co-MVP award with teammate Noach Wood in 2019, led the Golden Tornado (11-3,

5-0) to their first outright league championship since 2001. He threw for more than 2,000 yards and had 22 touchdown passes in the regular season. He led Santa Barbara to the CIF-SS Div. 8 final against Sunny Hills, though he threw an interception in the end zone with 19 seconds remaining as the Lancers won the title 24-21.

Hill admitted the ending to last season played a factor in his decision. “Yeah, I mean I don’t want my last high school play to be an interception,� he said.

Last week, the California Interscholastic Federation announced a 10-week regular season for football beginning Friday, Jan. 8 and ending March 12, with an additional four weeks for playoffs. Teams can begin practicing on Dec. 14.

Hill said he has been in communication with his teammates and making sure they are working out on their own while many fitness facilities remain closed. “I’m looking forward to playing my last year with my best friends, because not a lot of them are going to play the game again‌ just having those senior moments, that’s going to be the best part,â€? he said.

During the quarantine, Hill slimmed down roughly 20 pounds and hopes to play at around 220 when the season begins. His playing weight last season was around 240 to 245, he said. “A big change in diet,� said Hill. “I’ve been able to focus on what I’m eating, focus on working out.

I work out two or three times a day just making sure I can get my body right for this final season.

Especially since we lose so many guys, I’m going to have to do a lot more and make plays.�

On July 21, Hill took to Twitter to announce he had received a scholarship offer from UCLA. Having his three older sisters attend the school to play water polo made it a special moment for Hill, though he said he remains committed to the Badgers. “It’s still ‘On, Wisconsin!’�

Hill stated, in reference to the university’s fight song. “My family has always been a part of (UCLA), so the main reason for me posting it was just to really thank them for taking the time to recruit me and look me over and end up offering me that scholarship,� he explained. “That’s really nothing to take for granted. I just wanted to show them appreciation.� email: mwhite@newspress.com

California Pizza Kitchen files for bankruptcy California Pizza Kitchen filed for chapter 11 bankruptcy Thursday, citing the pandemic and debt issues as the primary reasons. “Earlier today, we announced that CPK has entered into a restructuring support agreement with our senior lenders that will equitize the vast majority of our long term debt,� CEO Jim Hyatt said in a press release.

He added that the restructuring agreement in place will enable CPK to use $47 million for the locations currently still operating.

Currently, the California Pizza Kitchen in Paseo Nuevo will remain open and operational according to the press release, which states “we do not have plans to close any additional restaurants

Foresters split in Best of the West Tournament

By MITCHELL WHITE NEWS-PRESS ASSOCIATE EDITOR

The Santa Barbara Foresters extended their winning streak to 13 games Saturday afternoon, though dropped the second game of a doubleheader in the Best of the West Tournament in San Bernardino.

The Foresters defeated the Orange County Buccaneers, 5-1, in Game One before falling to the Inland Valley Pirates, 6-5, on a walk-off single.

Ryan Holgate paced Santa Barbara (26-4) in Game One with two hits and two RBIs, while Christian Encarnacion and Noah Cardenas each registered a sacrifice fly.

The Foresters deployed six pitchers to shut down the Bucs offense. Kyle Luckham started the game and pitched three innings, allowing two hits and striking out four. Blake Adams picked up the victory, tossing two innings while allowing one run and striking out four.

Ian Churchill, Steven Zobac, Sean Mullen and Nick Proctor each pitched scoreless innings in relief.

Santa Barbara took a 3-0 lead in the third inning of Game Two. Encarnacion drove in one with a single before Holgate plated two runners with a single of his own. The Pirates scored four in the bottom of the fourth, culminating with a two-out, two-

run double by Connor Burns off Santa Barbara starter Luke Taggert.

Taggert went four innings, allowing six hits, four runs, three earned, and registering two strikeouts.

The Piratesâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; Tyrese Turner drew a bases-loaded walk in the bottom of the sixth to add on to the lead.

The Foresters struck for a run in the bottom of the eighth with a two-out RBI single by Steven Zobac. They added another run in the top of the ninth to tie it.

Former Santa Barbara High star and future UCSB Gaucho Nick Oakley singled with one out and advanced to third on a pair of wild

pitches. Jace Jung singled to tie the game at 5.

The Pirates loaded the bases in the bottom of the ninth with no outs. Peyton Pallette allowed a single, issued a walk and another single. He struck out Hayden Winters before Jared Thomas won it with a walk-off single.

The Foresters will be back in action Tuesday in Wichita for the 86th National Baseball Congress World Series. Their first game is scheduled for 6:30 p.m. local time Aug. 4. They will take on the winner of the Rose Hill Sluggers out of Kansas and the Denver Cougars.

Continued from Page A1 through social media platforms, with a focus on encouraging safe and responsible tourism. Santa Barbara also has a ton of outdoor activities people can enjoy when they visit. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Throughout this period, the vast majority of hospitality industry businesses have painstakingly followed the cues of our public health officials and implemented protocols so they can operate safely, even as official orders have changed and evolved over time. So, in that sense, visitors should feel comfortable going just about anywhere in Santa Barbara that has been allowed to be open,â&#x20AC;? Ms. JanegaDykes said.

She added that she knows how crucial this time period is for Santa Barbara and the local hospitality industry. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This is a critical, make-orbreak window for Santa Barbara.

Our goal is to stimulate the return of responsible, overnight visitors as much as we can and support

our hard-hit businesses, realizing that in the near term, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s unlikely our hotels will see a return on par with last yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s occupancy levels.

At the same time, weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll continue to closely monitor conditions on the ground and continue to be a good partner to our health officials and the community at large,â&#x20AC;? Ms. Janega-Dykes said.

In fact, highlighting how important these months are, just this past week, the city announced that it collected approximately $15.1 million in Transient Occupancy Taxes for the 2019-20 fiscal year, nearly $5 million less than the anticipated budgeted amount.

Over the past three fiscal years, Santa Barbara collected an average of more than $1.8 million in TOT revenues. It collected just $849,715 in TOT revenues this year. â&#x20AC;&#x153;When we estimated what the losses were going to be, we estimated $5.4 million at the end of the year and we are coming pretty close to that,â&#x20AC;? said Jennifer Tomaszewski, interim finance director for the city. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I was actually surprised at how

close we were able to estimate that so Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m proud of that. I wish we were wrong and the numbers were better obviously but itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s just tough.â&#x20AC;?

Ms. Tomaszewski added that in preparing for these losses, the city laid off several hundred hourly workers and departments implemented 5% cuts for the upcoming fiscal year. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We do also estimate that weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re going to be dipping into our reserves as well for both (fiscal years) 20 and 21,â&#x20AC;? Ms. Tomaszewski said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We estimate about $2 million in losses for fiscal year 20 and we absorbed most of that with less with the cuts that weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve taken. So we (expect) much more drastic cuts in fiscal year 21.â&#x20AC;?

Measure C, a one-cent general purpose sales tax to increase the funding for roads and vital infrastructure and programs, has taken the biggest hit since sales tax has been impacted, Ms. Tomaszewski said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We did delay some of our overlays so thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s going to be our streets,â&#x20AC;? she said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;More in fiscal year 21, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s going to be more of a pause to see how

weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re doing and how sales tax ends up. We do have online sales that are going to help soften the blow to sales tax but we just wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t know those numbers for another three weeks for how the year ended for our sales tax. So thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s kind of our next big number that weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re waiting to see.â&#x20AC;?

While times are down for most states and cities, including Santa Barbara, Ms. Tomaszewski is still confident the city is doing everything it can. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I would say that we have a really great team here at the city, a lot of hard working dedicated people who really care and have gone above and beyond to try to work our way through this and to help the community as best we can,â&#x20AC;? Ms. Tomaszewski said â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve just had to become very flexible, very fast and I think that thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s probably going to continue on through the next year or two, weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re going to continue to look at other ways we can better serve the public. â&#x20AC;&#x153;But yeah, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not been easy. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not easy for anybody right now.â&#x20AC;?

gUEST OPINION

Redeeming black lives

s somebody who has been involved with trying to help black lives for over 40 years, what I am about to tell you is beyond dispute. That is, we need to categorically reject that which “heals the brokenness of my people superficially” as only the truth will set people free.

To be clear, what I am about to say doesn’t apply to all black lives, or only black lives, in America, or anywhere else for that matter, and that itself is an all-important preface to what follows. Similarly, the Black Lives Matter movement does not speak for, or represent, all black lives as if black people in America, or anywhere else in the world, are a monolith. Hence, the sheer stupidity and hubris of Joe Biden’s statement that, “if you don’t vote for me, you ain’t black.”

This bears repeating. The following points do not apply to all black people because to imply otherwise would be a form of bigotry and prejudice, similar to the fallacy that asserts that all whites are racists and all cops are abusive.

Nonetheless, what follows certainly does apply to those who are stuck in a generational and

cultural pattern of poverty, crime street code that elevates street and hopelessness in America’s justice retaliation over and above inner cities. our justice system.

The reasons that black families Next, we have the glorification, are suffering in America has celebration and normalization of everything to do with the decline all of the above as “black culture” of marriage — specifically, the in music, art, film and video virtual disappearance of stable games. nuclear families, which Finally, we have race contributes to the absence hustlers including the of fathers in the home, “Reverend” Al Sharpton, enormously high dropout who advocates for rates, unemployment rates reparations for the legacy and welfare rates, not to of slavery rather than mention abortion rates forgiveness which alone that are approaching a can heal. black genocide.

Incredulous as it Andy Caldwell Moreover, the thought is, all of the above is that staying in school being blamed on white and staying out of privilege as a function trouble, studying and working of systemic and institutionalized hard and trying to get ahead, is racism, when, in fact, all of this condemned as acting white and, dysfunction began to occur after more precisely, labeled as being the Civil Rights Act was passed. antithetical to “black culture.”

That is, the Civil Rights Act Making life untenable in our was the beginning of the end inner cities is the inordinate of institutionalized racism in number of black gangs and the America, but all these patterns subsequent ubiquitous black-onoriginated thereafter in America. black crime and incarceration The leaders of BLM advocate rates. Couple that with the rejecting the successful nuclear fact that victims of crimes family construct in favor of will not cooperate with police tribalism. That is, they place no investigations and subsequent emphasis or value on fathers as prosecution because of a perverse head of household. Moreover,

the leaders are self-described Marxists, sworn enemies of free market capitalism.

To assume that these BLM leaders are an anomaly, consider the fact that no less than The Smithsonian National Museum of African American History published a chart questioning why any black person would subscribe to “attributes of white dominance in society.”

The chart lists the following values, goals and standards of American society, as a function of white supremacy: self-reliance, the nuclear family, objective/ rational linear thinking, hard work as the key to success, respect for authority, planning for the future, delayed gratification, protecting property and entitlements, action orientation, decision-making, politeness, Western Civilization, Christianity and monotheism.

I am confident that Martin Luther King would not agree.

Andy Caldwell is the executive director of COLAB and the host of The Andy Caldwell Show weekdays from 3-5 p.m. on News-Press Radio AM 1290.

Mary Trump provides deeper understanding

O

ne wonders why the CARES Act, meant to combat the coronavirus and bolster the economy, should also benefit the rich.

Snopes, a fact-checking service, says: “Provisions in the CARES Act changed a 2017 tax law in a way that will largely benefit Americans who earn $1 million or more annually, according to a nonpartisan congressional body.

Per calculations using that body’s data, those wealthy Americans each could reap a tax benefit of $1.7 million on average with the change.”

Why would the CARES Act have anything at all to do with taxes, and if it did, why would it be to benefit millionaires? Well, Trump gives a deeper understanding of how that could take place. The Trump I am speaking about is Mary Trump, Donald’s niece. In her new book, “Too Much and Never Enough,” she gives an understanding of how the Trump family has historically worked. It gives us further insight into her Uncle Donald, and why he acts as he does.

The title summarizes it: Too

He was driven to build children that they are loved, it is more and more houses, so he difficult for children to develop could make more and more a sense of self-worth. That is, it is money. This mindset doesn’t difficult for them to actually love work: “The more money I have, and respect themselves.

I suspect virtually no one would be crass enough to put a dollar figure on their tombstone, yet how many of us haven’t really crystalized our own fundamental values?

Why don’t you give it a try right now? Get a pen and paper, or your computer, and write down what you would like to have said about you when you are gone. Why let other people decide your epitaph, your values, for you after you pass? Take possession of your own life by declaring your own worth, your own values, right now.

County superintendent fails to reassure parents

N

ormally, I don’t suggesting students will not suffer respond to op-ed because this time, as opposed to pieces by public last spring, the schools will have officials, but I can’t their act together and will ensure help responding to that all students receive a rigorous a piece on this page last Sunday by education, no less comprehensive Susan Salcido, the Santa Barbara than if the schools were open. I try County superintendent of schools. not to be too cynical, but I doubt She gave us her two cents on many parents in Santa Barbara how the public schools in Santa believe this.

Barbara would handle closing But what really caught my eye after our governor threw down the was the process she outlined for tablet from his luxurious mansion, elementary schools to apply for commanding all schools a waiver, which would Lou Segal to institute remote allow them to reopen in learning for the entire August. After reading the The author lives in exhaustive list of things a school day.

Santa Barbara Whenever I engage school must do to get the this superintendent and/ waiver, one cannot help or her predecessor about any issue, but think that it is highly unlikely I always wonder what the heck any school is going to open anytime they do. California is one of the few soon. states that has a county education Interestingly, she left out the most office having no line authority over important criterion for satisfying any schools. They don’t operate any the waiver requirements, which is schools in the county. getting the consent of the teachers’ It’s a bureaucratic fiefdom set union. That’s right, no public school up over 175 years ago, essentially opens under the waiver process a relic of the horse-and-buggy unless the union agrees to allow it days. At least, unlike the guy who to reopen. (Why is that problematic? occupied this position for 34 years Because the teachers’ unions in Los before her, she doesn’t feel the need Angeles are demanding defunding to opine about every political issue of the police, Medicare for all and unrelated to her office. no more charter schools before they Regardless, she is an elected will agree to any waiver.) Did Dr. official, and her pronouncements Salcido have a momentary memory on the catastrophic closing of our lapse leaving out this interesting schools are noteworthy. Although nugget of information? she appropriately blamed this The fact of the matter is that horrendous decision on the many parents, particularly parents governor (assuming the school of elementary school children, are districts would have arrived at traumatized by this gubernatorial a more rational decision), she edict and are not going to be then attempted to sugarcoat it by placated by jargon-filled assurances

from Dr. Salcido that everything is going to be okay.

Parents know this means their kids are going to fall behind academically and are not sure how they can rearrange their work schedules to accommodate remote learning from the home. I have heard many parents consider a new concept in education called micro schools and learning pods. Simply put, parents organize a classroom for five or six students by hiring a tutor or teacher and creating, with the help of professional educators, a personalized learning plan for their kids. Many are calling this a game changer for public education, unlike anything we have ever seen before.

Essentially, this might be the final nail in the coffin of public education in California. We know from test scores, graduation rates and a variety of other measurements, that public schools, including those in Santa Barbara, are performing very poorly.

In our Santa Barbara Unified School District, over 50% of the kids in elementary schools aren’t proficient in math or English.

We have been told over the years by countless superintendents and boards this will improve. It never does. Many of us are tired of the excuses and have stopped believing anything that is said by a politicized, inept school bureaucracy. Closing the schools may be what’s needed to change the paradigm for education, even if this wasn’t intended by our governor and the self-serving civil servants in Sacramento.

letters to the news-press SB Audubon Society appreciates story

S

anta Barbara Audubon Society thanks Dave Mason for his July 16 News-Press article (“Raptors and their commanding presence”) about the Audubon Aviary and our six grand resident raptors at the Santa Barbara Museum of Natural History. Thank you also to Rafael Maldonado for his stunning photographs that brighten the day and capture the majesty of these raptors.

We are so grateful to the three owls, red-tailed hawk, peregrine falcon and American kestrel who gracefully serve as ambassadors for our Eyes in the Sky education program and connect people with birds. The Aviary celebrates its 10th birthday this year!

At Audubon, we see our mission more clearly than ever. While we continue to champion birdlife and their importance to a healthy and vital ecosystem, we do so fully aware and engaged in doing our part to address the pandemic, the attendant economic hardships and systemic racism.

We are committed to bringing opportunities to every community member to enjoy nature and birds regardless of skin color, age, gender, mobility, religion, and economic and cultural background.

Santa Barbara Audubon Society is currently adapting our Meet Your Wild Neighbor elementary school education program to be accessible online to teachers this fall. We are also creating a new stationary birding program to continue SBAS outreach and connect people to birds while social distancing. With our caring volunteers and board and entertaining and joyous raptor residents and wild birds, we are excited to bridge these new outreach opportunities.

We greatly appreciate Mr. Mason and Mr. Maldonado for sharing the elegant raptors with a wider Santa Barbara audience, and highlighting SBAS’s dedication to protect area birdlife and habitat through education, conservation and science.

Heartfelt news, cheery collaborations with local nonprofits like the SBMNH and Santa Barbara Public Library, positive communications with the city of Goleta and inspirational donors elevate SBAS’s efficacy.

Working together, we will strengthen a future of community inclusivity and birdlife protections.

Please invite a friend and join us at santabarbaraaudubon.org.

Learn from history

W

ake up, America! Can’t you hear the echoes of history in the streets?

The anarchist mobs of the French revolution led to the guillotine. The Bolshevik mobs of the Russian revolution led to

Stalinist purges and the gulag.

Hitler’s brown-shirted mobs led to the Holocaust.

Today, we have black-shirted mobs violently hijacking legitimate peaceful Black Lives Matter protests, and we have cancel-culture mobs suppressing free speech on our college campuses, in the media and on social media. What masters do they serve and where are they leading us?

Wearing masks makes a difference

O

ver 65 years ago, while serving in the U.S. Navy, our ship docked in Yokosuka (Yo-kus-ka), Japan. It was a chilly November day, I was off duty, and decided to walk to town.

I left the ship in the late afternoon and began walking through the naval base. At the same time, hundreds of Japanese civilian workers ended their workshifts and were exiting the base. Nearly half of them were wearing masks.

I quickly learned that, consistent with their culture, when they had a cold or sore throat, they wore a mask to not infect co-workers and others they came in contact with.

Fast forward to 2020. The world is dealing with a pandemic.

Leading medical scientists are urging the use of masks and social distancing.

Most Americans comply; however, the White House, under control of our one-time president, is at odds with logic. (He did wear one with the presidential seal at Walter Reed Hospital.) Because Mr. Trump thinks he knows more than the experts, many of his uneducated followers follow suit. It has been proven by European and Asian countries and Gov. Cuomo, that wearing a mask and social distancing, drives down the curve.

For political purposes, Mr. Trump is more concerned with the Second Amendment than the Preamble and First Amendment of our Constitution.

Salud Carbajal should debate Andy Caldwell

I

understand that U.S. Rep. Salud Carbajal refuses to debate Andy Caldwell. Mr. Caldwell has said he would debate anytime, anywhere.

We need debates, maybe three, so we can know how our representative is going to govern.

Also debates would probably answer many questions that I have, like: 1. Is it true Mr. Carbajal that you want to defund the police? When we call 911: No answer, no help, defend yourself ! ! !

2. Is it true that you are an AOC

wannabe and won’t represent the 24th district but the wishes of the gang of four?

3. Is it true that you support BLM but refuse to criticize all the killings of black-on-black crime in Chicago?

4. Is it true that you want all the students to go back to school after the election in order that President Trump will not get any credit?

5. Is it true you still support Planned Parenthood’s selling of aborted baby parts to the highest bidder?

6. Is it true you believe in Censor Culture, that no one can have another opinion and if they do they are systemic racists?

7. Is it true you back mayors who let rioters vandalize, loot and burn businesses and buildings?

Mr. Carbajal, are you pulling a Joe Biden?

Get out of the basement and debate Andy Caldwell.

Lastly, do you still think that Lompoc is the “armpit” of the county?

UCSB should use the open textbooks

A

s the decision of how K-12 education will move forward is being determined, UCSB has committed to a hybrid plan for the fall.

While many of my professors were considerate enough to not require textbooks with COVID19 last quarter, the concern of myself and my peers is that professors may turn back to digital course materials like textbooks and access codes. Access codes force students to buy a single-use password, which is usually only available with the newest edition of a textbook. These are required to access homework, mandatory texts and even tests!

All of this on top of tuition. With increased financial need due to the economic downturn, and a lack of universal and reliable internet access at home, it seems that a significant number of college students will be unable to pay to submit homework and fully participate in class.

There is a solution. Open textbooks, which are free to read, cheap to print, and high quality.

They’re written under an open license, which means they’re free to share and professors can adapt them for their classes.

Classes that use open textbooks have seen increased student performance and completion, probably because students actually read books they can afford.

During the remaining time this summer, we need colleges and professors to explore options, like adapting free open textbooks and existing library resources to put onto their class website, to ensure all students are able to get the materials they need to succeed during this time of remote learning.

HEISINGER, Wayne

You are so missed. I was so incredibly fortunate to have you as my husband for so many wonderful years. It started at S.B. High School and continued at Cal State University at Fresno. We met again in 2001. We were again together for 20 years. The most wonderful years.

Wayne has three children: Wayne, Darrel and Eva. He was a member of First Presbyterian Church in S.B. serving as Deacon and Elder. Wayne was retired as an army veteran with 21 years of active duty serving two years in Vietnam as a counter mortar radar platoon sergeant. He is survived by his wife and high school sweetheart Rose Ann Bowser. May he rest in peace.

MADDUX, William “Bill” J.

Born December 23rd, 1958, Died July 15th, 2020 He lived his first twelve years in San Gabriel Valley and moved to Goleta in 1971. He graduated from Dos Pueblos High School in 1977. He was an expert chess player and became an accomplished actor in his earlier years, but shifted his focus when acting did not “work out” in college.

William worked at a number of small businesses around the Santa Barbara and Goleta area, and acquired skills in several areas. Hiking and bicycling were his main passions in his later years. William very much enjoyed long hikes in the Santa Barbara back country, and was proud of his many photos from his adventures. Bill moved to Lake Isabella in 2015 to start a new life, which was cut short by a diagnosis of brain cancer in December 2019, to which he ultimately succumbed. May he rest in peace. William was predeceased by his parents William and Catherine, and is survived by his brothers Kevin (Laurie) and Brian (Paula), two nieces and two nephews. Services will be private. Arrangements entrusted to Welch-RyceHaider Funeral Chapels.

MARCOVE, Gerald “Jerry” Melville

Gerald (Jerry) Melville Marcove, 87, of Montecito, California passed away peacefully at his home surrounded by loved ones on July 21st, 2020. He was born on June 19th, 1933 in Denver, Colorado and was second born, to Gertrude and Maurice Marcove. He had a happy and active childhood growing up with his two brothers and one sister, spending many summer family vacations in Miami Beach. He enjoyed all sports, but was especially passionate about football. He graduated from Denver’s East High School and earned his BA in Business from the University of Colorado Boulder.

Jerry and his younger brother Alan built several successful businesses, most notably VSA (Venders Supply of America). His entrepreneurial and innovative prowess in the food industry literally employed hundreds of people.

He met and married the love of his life, Donna Mae Labertew. Together they raised four beautiful children; Denise, Danelle, Devonne, and Jeffrey.

He was known by all who ever came into his presence for his kindness, strength, and generosity. No one ever had a need he wasn’t willing to fill. He treated everyone, no matter their stature, as though they mattered. But perhaps his greatest gift to all was simply being his compassionate self. People who knew him, knew he was unique among men; no pretenses, he was the “real” deal.

YANG, Charles Sungchul

Charles Sungchul Yang, beloved and devoted husband, father, and grandfather, passed away on July 22, 2020 in Los Angeles, CA, from complications arising from dementia/Alzheimer’s disease. The son of Yang Sei-Jin and Lee Ui-Sook, he was born in Korea in 1933 and, after serving as an intelligence officer in the Republic of Korea Army, fighting with the US Allies during the Korean War, he emigrated to the United States to attend college in San Diego and then to UCLA for an advanced degree. After meeting his soulmate Helen in Los Angeles and marrying in 1965, they moved to Santa Barbara where they lived and raised their family over the next 40 years. His four children all attended Santa Barbara area public schools, and both Charles and Helen actively participated in all aspects of their education. Charles was a tireless worker, at first for Applied Magnetics Corporation and then for his own eponymous electronics company in Ventura, Yang Electromagnetic Systems. His work took him all over the world and he has several patents for electronic tape head designs.

He also worked closely with many larger companies including what was then IBM and Sony. Charles was committed to his community and to this day still owns commercial properties on the Mesa and the family home in Hope Ranch. A devoted husband and father, he was most proud of his wife and children and their academic and professional successes, none of which would have been possible without his unconditional love, unmatched work ethic, and constant sacrifice. He had incredible stamina, perseverance, and dedication, and while he may not have been the most verbose man in the room, he commanded a presence and demanded respect. He was tireless when it came to providing for his family, and although he often rose before dawn and worked late until the early morning hours, he rarely missed a family dinner, piano recital, swim meet, or soccer practice, and was always available to help with homework. Until his illness took its toll, he was most content taking his beloved dog, Henry, for a walk around the neighborhood or simply enjoying the sunset with his youngest daughter. He is survived by his son Frederick S. Yang and wife Laurie Roberge Yang; daughter Catherine Y. Leaf and husband Matthew Leaf; daughter Elizabeth R. Yang; son Edward H. Yang and wife Jane J. Yang; and 7 granddaughters, Grace, Olivia, Natalie, and Charlize Yang, and Jordan, Parker, and Devon Leaf, and grandson Andrew Yang. Funeral services will be private. In lieu of flowers and cards, the family asks that donations in his memory be made to the Fisher Center for Alzheimer’s Research Foundation.

GARTRELL, Nan Surges Weyler

Jerry retired at the age of 53 and with his soulmate Donna, they embarked on a series of international travels taking them across the globe—a magical stage of life together, lived to the fullest by exploring a beautiful diversity of countries, cultures, foods, and wines of the world.

Nan Surges Weyler Gartrell passed away at her home in Santa Barbara on July 27, 2020. Nan was best defined by her passion for helping others, artistic talent, and love for those around her.

He and Donna followed their hearts to San Francisco where they lived and enjoyed the the city by the bay for over 20 years. The final six years of his life were spent in the beautiful surroundings of Montecito, California.

She was born April 11, 1929 in Santa Barbara to Herbert Earhart and Rebecca Lucile (Bergen) Weyler. She resided in Santa Barbara her entire life, always making new friends along the way. She attended Santa Barbara Girls School, Peabody, La Cumbre Jr. High, and graduated Santa Barbara High School. She worked for several years at I Magnin until she married her high school sweetheart, Gregory Gartrell, in 1948. They had three children, Nanette, Gregory Jr. and Yvonne, all raised in Santa Barbara. Nan worked as a bookkeeper after the children were grown. When Greg Sr. started County Lumber Company, she opened a bookkeeping service for local doctors and lawyers.

No matter where he frequented, his true human spirit and generosity were experienced by many fortunate people. He leaves a legacy of generosity, kindness of heart, and a compassion second to none and serves as an inspiration for his loved ones as well as those fortunate enough to have been in his sphere of “human-ness.”

Jerry is survived by his wife Donna, son Jeffrey, daughters Devonne, Danelle, and Denise: his grandchildren Christine, Benjamin, Alexander, Natalya, and Nickolas; and great grandchildren Maclain, Isabella, and Michael.

Memorials may be made to the charity that your heart directs.

ROBSON, Dorcas Dorcas Robson, 96, slipped off this mortal coil on July 27, 2020, in Santa Barbara, California, where she had lived since 1956. (No, she didn’t have a middle name.) Her body finally wore out, for reasons related to the number of years she filled with family, friends, teaching, travel, and sport, mostly golf. Due to her extensive connections in the Santa Barbara community, it was common to randomly encounter someone who was pleased to recognize her: this remained true to her very last moments.

Dorcas was born in 1924 in Evanston, Illinois, to parents William Wallace Robson, Sr., and Ruth Wright Robson.

She grew up with three brothers in Winnetka, Illinois, and graduated from New Trier High School in 1942. She attended Western College for Women, in Oxford, Ohio, and then transferred to and graduated from National College of Education, in Evanston, Illinois. This prepared her for a long and distinguished elementary school teaching career. She mostly taught kindergarten, with some forays into first and second grades.

After student teaching in Glencoe and Winnetka, Illinois, she taught in Long Beach, California; Des Plaines, Illinois; for a number of years in Skokie, Illinois—a favorite stint; and for many years in Santa Barbara. As far as we can reconstruct, she taught at the “old” Roosevelt School near the Mission; the “old” Lincoln School, now a farmer’s market; and Cleveland School, from which she retired. Always responsive to her students, in her later teaching years she began learning Spanish to communicate better with them. Among the organizations she supported were Santa Barbara non-profits the Family Service Agency and the Music Academy of the West.

Although she also skied and occasionally sailed with friends, Dorcas had a longstanding love of golf, despite early discouragement from playing the game. When she began to play during her senior year in high school, her father didn’t want her to play at Westmoreland Country Club in Wilmette, Illinois—of which he was at times president and where he himself played with what we recall as a 3 handicap—because it was “a man’s game.” An early publication about the club stated, “Westmoreland has been noted for its effort to promote an interest in golf among women and junior members of the family and its liberal attitude in the arrangement of time for women’s golf events.”

Nonetheless, he made her go to the Skokie Playfield golf course in Winnetka instead.

As a teacher, she would travel with friends during spring breaks to golf in different locations. She said, and we can hear her voice in this, “We weren’t riding in carts then.

We pulled carts.” After moving to California, she became an active member of the Montecito Country Club. Her father had died before she won the women’s championship at Montecito in 1993 and proved him wrong about the “man’s game.”

Another recurring theme in her life was travel. She covered the territory between Illinois and California many times, both on the ground and in the air. She frequently traveled with another teacher, or an old friend from Western, or a golfing buddy. Her first trip to Europe lasted eleven weeks and covered, by car, Paris, Italy, Switzerland, Austria, Sweden, and more—she wasn’t sure she would have another chance. She and her friend returned to New York City by boat, where her parents met them; she said that was good, because they were running out of money.

Over the years, Dorcas took several trips to Scotland and England (staying in hostels).

She also traveled to various places in the U.S. and Mexico, and spent a month in Spain and Portugal (staying in pensiones). On the latter trip, the windshield on the rental car broke in a storm, and Dorcas and her golfing-and-travel buddy took turns, one driving in the rain while the other cowered in the back seat. The trips to England and Scotland involved hiking and genealogical research. Dorcas’ last trip to Scotland occurred right after Princess Diana was married, and she sat behind the royal couple in church when they returned from their honeymoon.

Multiple dogs and cats shared her life (notably, in California, pugs and corgis), culminating in her beloved cat Patches, who lived with her in the community at Valle Verde, where they both spent their final years. Dorcas’ family is enormously grateful to the people of Valle Verde, who helped Dorcas have a welcoming home and a soft landing at the end.

The last of her generation, Dorcas leaves a number of younger relatives. Her five nieces include Deborah Robson (Colorado), Meg Robson Mahoney (Jake; Washington), Sharon Robson, Joelle Robson Heinrich (John), and Carol Robson (all Illinois). Cousins include Ann Richardson and Sally Richardson (both Hawaii) and Jane Richardson (Oregon).

Great-nieces and -nephew are Rebekah Robson-May; Corey Caitlin Mahoney (Jon Fuchs); and Conor Robson Mahoney (Ashley Sirls). Her great-grandnephew is Elliot Fuchs. She was preceded in death by her parents; her three brothers, William Wallace Robson, Jr., Daniel Wright Robson, and John Henry Robson, and sisters-in-law, Allene Reich Robson, Patricia (Patti) Dingle Robson, and Freida Davis Robson; and a nephew, Douglas Wright Robson. This comparatively full relationship data honors Dorcas’ extensive interest in family history and may serve as an aid to future researchers.

Due to covid-19, there will be no service; she probably wouldn’t want one anyway, although remembering her and doing something nice for someone younger would be appropriate. Her ashes will rest at Rosehill Cemetery, in Chicago, alongside many family members. Donations in her memory can be made to your favorite charity, or to Best Friends Animal Society, https://bestfriends.org/.

Nan did volunteer work most of her adult life. Starting at the County Geriatrics Hospital, she also volunteered at the Well Baby Clinic and later at local schools teaching art to kindergarten students and first graders. She served on the Luria Library Board at City College. She loved murder mysteries, quirky art and sculptures, and was the chess champion of the family. She was a skilled watercolorist and displayed work at local galleries. Nan’s favorite accomplishments were designing and building her last home and writing a children’s book, Little Raindrop. She was especially grateful to Rose, who became her caregiver and a best friend, and to Dennis Baker, MD, and Hospice Care Manager Laura Guerrero for their compassionate support.

Nan was preceded in death by her parents, her sisters Rebecca Sheuerman and Virginia Porter, husband, Gregory Gartrell, and daughter, Yvonne. She is survived by her brother Jack Weyler of Houston Texas, daughter Nanette Gartrell MD (Diane Mosbacher, PhD, MD), son Gregory Gartrell PhD (Mary Eichbauer PhD) and grandson Nathan Gartrell (Sarah Gartrell), and great-granddaughter Scarlett Gartrell, her sister-in-law Ann Gartrell, as well as numerous nieces, nephews, grandnieces and grandnephews, and her two Siamese kitties, Ty and Chi.

BOWER, Susan Elizabeth Susan Elizabeth Bower of the Upper East Side, Santa Barbara, CA passed away peacefully in her home on Saturday, July 25 surrounded by her family, her art, candles, and soothing music. It was a fitting send off for a creative mother, painter, photographer, world traveler, interior decorator, and exacting aesthetician who saw and created beauty in all she touched.

Born to Elizabeth Beatty Hill and Frank Joseph Hill on December 28, 1928 in Phoenix, AZ, Susan left the desert for California shortly after grade school. She attended Van Nuys Junior High School and Hamilton High School in Los Angeles before taking a position at the Los Angeles branch of the American Automobile Association as a file clerk. In 1952 she married James S. Bower. The striking couple took advantage of the GI Bill to purchase a tract home in Rolling Hills, CA and then joined the rush of the 1950s baby boom to produce a gaggle of five children.

The family moved to Santa Barbara in 1968 and kept Susan so busy that it wasn’t until years later that she had “a moment to herself” to contemplate her next move. That move turned out to be a return to college life. In 1981 she received a BA in Studio Art from the University of California, Santa Barbara. She went on to create an eclectic mix of art pieces ranging from oil paintings, to wax mosaics, etchings, screen prints, sun prints, and finally to stunning photographs.

Deeply engaged with the philanthropic community here in Santa Barbara, Susan gave generously to The Fund for Santa Barbara, Women’s Economic Ventures, Scholarship Foundation of Santa Barbara, Environmental Defense Center, Contemporary Arts Forum (MCA), The Arts Fund, Summerdance, Santa Barbara Arts Collective (CAW), UCSB Arts & Lectures, Dance Theater, ADA Museum, Santa Barbara Museum of Art, Boxtales, Art Without Limits, Santa Barbara Museum of Natural History, Catalyst for Cats, Community Counseling & Education Center, Santa Barbara Rape Crisis Center, Planned Parenthood, and the Santa Barbara Int’l Film Festival among others. Her giving centered on her local “tribe” as she liked to call it, grassroots organizations that included her passion for education, the arts, women’s rights, and the environment.

Susan’s amazing travels over the past 40 years took her far and wide including journeys to India, Indonesia, Vietnam, Tibet, Nepal, China, Japan, Europe, Russia, Cuba, Central America, South America, Mexico, Africa, and Yemen among many other exciting world cities and destinations. Her one great travel regret was that she never made it to Bhutan! She documented her travels with a keen photographic eye for marketplaces, street scenes, and the local people of the countries she visited. She was always interested in photographing indigenous faces and local dress of people in distant corners of the world. Susan took great delight in traveling the world, and loved learning about other cultures and traditions.

While she had many family, artistic, and philanthropic accomplishments perhaps one of her greatest joys was her lovely Garden St. home of over 30 years. Filled with beautiful artwork, furniture, and textiles from artists around the world, as well as paintings and photographs from local artists, Susan was constantly acquiring new pieces while rearranging older pieces in order to appreciate them in a new light. Her home was a wonderful gathering place for friends and family, and a creation of her own unique artistic expression and vision.

KNIGHTLEY, David Hamilton

David Hamilton Knightley of Goleta, passed away peacefully at his home on July 29, 2020 surrounded by his family. He was 76. David was born on July 27th, 1944 in Manchester, England to his father Bruce and his mother Edith. He joined the British Army at age 17 where he served as a corporal. While in the Army he played football and Rugby for the Army team. David then migrated to the United States and ended up in Santa Barbara in 1973 where he met and later married his love, Neta. The two raised their six children in Goleta in the same home they are still in today.

David went on to start his own roofing business with the help of his wife which continued for many years, even became a family business of sorts with several of the boys helping out when they were old enough. Countless houses in the Goleta and Santa Barbara area are still covered in shingles they installed! David also coached for many soccer teams for the Goleta Boys Club. Finally, retirement age came and David discovered sitting out back by the pool in Hawaiian shirts, flip flops and reading books with a cold Coors Light in hand. He enjoyed this lifestyle until the end of his days. Nothing was going to get in his way of what he did best….and that was loving his life.

David was preceded in death by his parents and his sister Barbara Klein. He is survived by his wife Neta, his six children… Steven (Gail), Holly (Scott), Matthew (Amy), Andy (Kay), Paul (Jacquie), Karen (Steve O), 16 grandchildren, and 4 great-grandchildren.

He is also survived by his brother Peter Knightley (Ann) who still lives in Manchester, England. He loved all of his family very much.

David was a true fighter and always tough as nails until the very end. He will be sorely missed by his entire family.

The family will have a private Celebration of Life. A special thank you to Central Coast Hospice.

“Cheers Dad, ‘til we meet again…”.

TARRER, Rosa Marie Rosa Maria Tarrer, 85, Prescott, AZ passed away on July 5th, 2020.

Rosa was born on October 19th, 1934 in Banes, Cuba.

She is survived by her three siblings Juan M. Dominguez, Juan E. Donminguez and Maria Mussen. Rosa married Joseph Tarrer and they spent 51 years together in marriage. Rosa was preceded in death by her husband, Joseph Tarrer.

Rosa was born and raised in Banes, Cuba. At the age of fourteen Rosa decided she wanted to learn to speak English. Her parents arranged for her to travel to Massachusetts on a cargo ship. Once in Massachusetts, Rosa enrolled at the Academy of Assumption in Wellesley, for “4 wonderful years,” she used to say. Rosa then attended the University of Miami.

Rosa returned back to Cuba to work towards getting her visa to return to the United States. This process took 5 years. She returned to the United States and became a citizen and never returned to Cuba. Rosa married Joseph Tarrer in 1964, and they had 51 years of life with each other. Rosa would always say how blessed she was to live in this country. Rosa and Joseph moved to Prescott, AZ in 2001.

Rosa was a devoted and loving wife and has three children Brian Tarrer, Jennifer Henry (Nathaniel-husband), and Vickie Pandoli. Rosa has five grandchildren; Stacy Rolph (Chad-husband), Heather Trappe, Anthony Pandoli, and Paxton and Maddigan Henry. Rosa also has 4 great-grandchildren; Taylor and Conner Rolph, Austin Campbell and Jaxson Nash.

We do not want to grieve, but, instead, remember with love–all the funny things she used to say and do (and there were many)!

Love you..Like you..See you Tomorrow - Jennifer, Paxton and Maddigan

CLIMO, Thea Korder

Thea Korder Climo, 95, died peacefully on July 7, 2020 at Heritage House in Santa Barbara. We are forever in their debt for the fine care she received over the many years she lived there. Funeral arrangements are private.

Mrs. Climo was born Thea Hermine Korder on October 20, 1924 in West Hartford, Connecticut to Bertha and Walter O.R. Korder. Thea graduated in 1944 from Hilyer Junior College (now the University of Hartford) where she served as class president. She then attended the University of Connecticut where she was a member of Kappa Kappa Gamma sorority, graduating in 1947.

Following college, Thea worked for the Hartford Electric Light Company until her marriage to James Climo on June 4, 1949.

After residing in Anaheim, California for a year, the couple returned to the Cleveland area where Jim had been born and raised. They spent the next 30 years living in Euclid, Ohio (a suburb of Cleveland) where they raised two daughters and a son. A devoted wife and mother, Thea was also an excellent seamstress, fashioning many of her own and her children’s clothes and using her skills to accessorize her home.

Jim and Thea relocated to Santa Barbara following Jim’s retirement in 1979. They quickly immersed themselves in the community, joining various organizations and giving their time for many worthwhile causes. Upon Jim’s passing in 2006, Thea continued living at home until moving to Heritage House in 2008.

In addition to her husband, Thea was pre-deceased by her son, Ross. She is survived by her daughters Lynne Climo Finta (Husband, John and Son, James) and Beth Climo (Husband, Robert Bourgoin). She is also survived by her daughter-in-law Alma Climo (Daughter, Sirena Merritt; Son, Miles Merritt; and Daughter, Jade Climo). May she rest in peace.

FORD, Nancy Carol Wener

In loving memory of Nancy Carol Wener Ford that had passed away in Goleta, California on July 12, 2020. Nancy passed in the comfort of her home amongst the care of her loving family. Nancy was born, on August 8, 1953, in Torrance, California. Nancy graduated from Dos Pueblos High School in 1971. Nancy’s passing was preceded by her father David John Wener, her mother Carol Louise McMillan Wener, and her brother Jay Wener. Nancy’s memory lives on in her loving husband Brian Douglas Ford, devoted daughters Melanie Ann Ford Noffz and Angela Louise Ford Benavidez, her grandchildren Janelle Katherine Noffz, Gregory Vincent Benavidez, and Bonnie Nichole Benavidez, along with her son-inlaw Andy Benavidez and soon to be grandson-in-law Will McKnight.

Our Mother, Nancy, will be greatly missed by her family and friends for her kind smile, gentle laugh, and fierce devotion to family and friends. Nancy was steadfast in her beliefs, willing to listen, and considerate of those that had a difference in opinion. Nancy taught her children and grandchildren that through hard work and dedication that achieving their dreams is possible. Nancy encouraged her children and grandchildren to enjoy life and live the best lives that they could.

Nancy would not want you to be saddened by her passing but rather to raise a glass and remember her at her best of times, typically while wearing a cardigan and Levi’s talking about her Skins, the Spurs, NASCAR, bowling, her family, or how awesome penguins are. Our mom was everyone’s mother, when it came to baking cookies “lots of cookies.” Our mom was the Kool-Aid mom, the name she gave herself.

Everyone just loved coming to our house, the door was always open. We were also the zoo house, we had many pets and even adopted pets that needed a home. Neighbors, kids and pets always called our home, home.

We miss you and love you Nancy - Mom - Grandma - Hon! In lieu of flowers, please make a donation in memory of Nancy Carol Ford to VNA Health.

SU N DAY, AUGUS T 2 , 2 0 2 0

By JOSH GREGA NEWS-PRESS STAFF WRITER

T

he small performance space at Jensen’s Music became an intimate setting for a live concert.

When the clock struck 6 p.m. on Tuesday, three novice singing students took to a small stage at the far end of the room to showcase songs they had been working on for months. They were accompanied by their vocal coach, Sloane Reali, on piano and backup vocals and Barry Birmingham on drums.

All the students were dressed in T-shirts that read “We Survived Singing Lessons on Zoom.”

Their 12-week course of individual and group classes with Ms. Reali was disrupted by the COVID-19 pandemic and had to be transitioned onto the online video platform. Originally scheduled for May 5, the showcase capping off their weeks of learning to sing was moved to Tuesday.

With the exception of this reporter and a News-Press photographer, none of the performance’s audience members were at Jensen’s that evening.

They tuned into Facebook Live to watch the Santa Barbara-based show, which Ms. Reali streamed on her phone.

As the vocal teacher greeted the digital audience, she remarked that her group only returned to Jensen’s Music for in-person rehearsals four weeks ago and that Tuesday’s performance marked only her students’ second week of singing with a live band.

She added that the showcase culminated weeks of diligence and effort.

“This is really a night of celebration for these guys. They’ve worked really, really hard,” she said.

Before proceeding with the main part of the show, Ms. Reali let the audience see the routine she and her students did prior to rehearsals, a warm-up “dance party” to “shake our sillies” out, as she put it. She turned on the playback, The O’Jays’ No. 1 hit “Love Train” sounded over the speakers, and the group grooved to the R&B classic.

Then came showtime.

One after another, Ms. Reali’s students Gunner Avenetti, Kiki Reyes and Phil Davis took to the stage to sing their first songs of the evening — Stone Sour’s “Through Glass,” Sara Bareilles’ “Brave” and Creedence Clearwater Revival’s “Bad Moon Rising,” respectively.

A fourth student, Sandra Eagret, sang Jackie DeShannon’s “Put a Little Love in Your Heart” and Johnny Nash’s “I Can See Clearly Now” via Zoom. Ms. Eagret didn’t personally attend because she has decided to lock down during the pandemic for the sake of her elderly father-in-law.

The students who were personally present told the NewsPress that they had different reasons for signing up for singing lessons through Vocal Coaching by Sloane, Ms. Reali’s business.

Mr. Avenetti, a 22-year-old IT specialist and airman at Vandenberg Air Force Base, decided he wanted to add singing to his musical repertoire, long

Gunner Avenetti, a 22-year-old IT specialist and airman at Vandenberg Air Force Base, performs during a concert by Sloane Reali’s vocal students.

He and others sang at Jensen’s Music in Santa Barbara, and the audience consisted of viewers watching the program on Facebook Live.

A change in tempo Santa Barbara vocal coach and students adapt to pandemic with streaming showcase centered around the guitar.

Whenever he made music to put on Spotify, his compositions were always instrumental because he was shy about the sound of his voice.

“I didn’t really like the way I sounded, wasn’t happy with it, so I went out and I was like, ‘Let’s find some lessons,’ ” he said.

He added, “I love instrumental

music … But I want to be able to sing too in case I ever have to.”

During the showcase, Mr. Avenetti played acoustic guitar as he sang the three numbers he selected for the evening, “Through Glass” by Stone Sour, “Learn to Fly” by Foo Fighters and “Folsom Prison Blues” by Johnny Cash. He also provided acoustic rhythm guitar during some of his fellow

students’ performances.

Kiki Reyes, a 25-year-old Santa Barbara resident, originally intended on taking lessons from Ms. Reali long before she actually did this year. When she was 17, Ms. Reyes took guitar lessons at the Santa Barbara Youth Music Academy, and her guitar instructor recommended she seek out Ms. Reali for vocal lessons.

However, she didn’t find Ms. Reali’s contact information until last year, a time that just happened to coincide with Ms. Reyes getting a master’s in writing from Antioch University.

No longer in school, Ms. Reyes decided to get back into her hobby of music and sought professional voice training.

In addition to “Brave,” Ms.

Reyes sang “Dangerous Woman”

by Ariana Grande. She performed on the ukulele on the former and acoustic guitar on the latter, changing the upbeat pop of both numbers into a more low-key reggae feel.

Mr. Davis, a 31-year-old who works in engineering, said he started taking singing lessons because his friends frequently sing karaoke at places around town like Tiburon Tavern. After finding Ms. Reali’s coaching service on Yelp, he decided to “test the waters.”

During the showcase he performed “Bad Moon Rising” because it’s “short and sweet,” and the Journey classic “Don’t Stop Believing,” a song that frequently appeared on one of his favorite TV shows, “Glee.” He said Ms. Reali especially encouraged him to sing the latter because it’s “very high energy.”

Mr. Avenetti, Ms. Reyes, Mr. Davis, and Ms. Eagret were the last remaining of an initial 10 students that started the 12week-course. When COVID-19 hit, several students fell away when they determined that singing on Zoom just wasn’t what they had signed up for. However, the vocal coach said that the classes have been something for the remaining students to look forward to every week.

Her students concurred. Even when the singing lessons shifted from in-studio to over Zoom, Mr. Davis said it was always a welcome addition to the week.

“I really just liked it because it broke my routine from work, and I had something to look forward to every week,” he said.

Though Mr. Avenetti’s military job at Vandenberg meant that he wasn’t out of work amid COVID19, continuing singing lessons over the internet gave variety to his schedule that it wouldn’t have had otherwise.

“It was just kind of my different thing in the schedule,” he said.

Because singing is one of her great loves and Ms. Reali serves as a source of encouragement for her, Ms. Reyes said voice lessons brought her a great deal of positivity during what is a generally a negative time in the world.

“Just having her and having singing, which is one of my favorite things to do, it really helped me kind of navigate through this pandemic and have something positive to look forward to,” she said.

Doing vocal lessons over Zoom wasn’t easy, however.

After all, each singer’s uniform for Tuesday’s concert was a T-shirt that read “We Survived Singing Lessons on Zoom.”

Although conducting oneon-one vocal instruction went smoothly enough, Ms. Reali called conducting group classes “a nightmare” because of one person’s audio cutting out another’s.

“The group thing was really hard … I can’t be on a screen with a bunch of other people and all of us singing simultaneously,” she said.

Ultimately, she ended up bringing a number of guests on for the group Zoom sessions and Please see TEMPO on B4

SOLUTION ON D3

HOROSCOPE ARIES â&#x20AC;&#x201D; This week could see you reaching a milestone. You might be ready to decide whether to continue with a plan or project or call it a day.

TAURUS â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Are you working on a plan or project this week? Before you proceed, it might be wise to make sure that your family is on board.

GEMINI â&#x20AC;&#x201D; If you need money to invest in a project this week, donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t ask for too much at once. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s better to understate than overstate what you need.

CANCER â&#x20AC;&#x201D; If you need to have a talk with someone this week, donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t overthink it because you could put yourself off by dwelling on the outcome.

LEO â&#x20AC;&#x201D; When it comes to finances or a business idea, keep your feet on the ground, it can be easy to exaggerate the benefits of a plan or scheme, and this could lead to losses rather than gains.

VIRGO â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Are you ready to collaborate with someone on a creative project this week? Your practical know-how combined with their imaginative outlook can bring sparkling results.

LIBRA â&#x20AC;&#x201D; you might need to adjust your habits and routines this week. You could be looking to adopt more ecofriendly ways at home regarding diet and exercise.

SCORPIO â&#x20AC;&#x201D; This week could coincide with a meeting that is pure inspiration. You and another may have a lot in common, and the more you talk, the more you might want to make this a proper friendship.

SAGITTARIUS â&#x20AC;&#x201D; If you havenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t been able to travel any real distance for some time, the urge to do so could be getting stronger. If you do get the chance to go away, youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll thoroughly enjoy it.

CAPRICORN â&#x20AC;&#x201D; You may be wondering whether to invest in a team project that would benefit the community this week. If you get an instinctive nudge to say yes, go for it. It could be a game changer if you do.

AQUARIUS â&#x20AC;&#x201D; If youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve missed socializing over the past few months, the coming week can see you interacting with others and enjoying the experience of connecting with those you havenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t seen in a while.

PISCES â&#x20AC;&#x201D; The coming week could find you eager to enhance your well-being. If your diet or exercise routine has fallen by the wayside, you could be newly inspired to get back on track.

Wyna Liu, of New York City, is an artist and jewelry designer working with magnets and tensegrity. (You can see examples of her craft at wynaliu.com.) She has been solving crosswords for more than 10 years but just started making them recently. Liu says 91-Across is a shout-out to her parents, who own and operate a chain of radio channels. They made up the name Wyna (pronounced â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;WIN-uhâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;â&#x20AC;&#x2122;) to mimic radio call letters â&#x20AC;&#x201D; â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Y â&#x20AC;&#x2122;nâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; Aâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;â&#x20AC;&#x2122; for the initials of their names, Yvonne and Arthur, and the starting â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Wâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;â&#x20AC;&#x2122; because theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re on the East Coast. 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.

Sunday, August 2, 2020

SOLUTION ON D3 3/,54)/. /. $

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.

rampant false advertising

D

ear Abby: I was divorced three years ago, and recently went on some dating sites to find a possible companion.

All the women I met had posted photos that looked nothing like them. It was embarrassing.

You usually meet in a public place, so the gentlemanly thing to do is continue the encounter, only to not follow up. It would be so much nicer if women posted a recent photo/selfie so that there would be no surprises at the first date.

Case in point: I had a date with a lady whose photo showed her to be slim, Abigail Van Buren with black hair. When she showed up she had white hair and she had gained at least 30 pounds.

She recognized me from my profile photo, which was recent.

Because Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m a gentleman, I made no mention of the discrepancy and made the most of our lunch.

I think women would be wise to place a recent photo on their profile with the caption, â&#x20AC;&#x153;What you see is what you get.â&#x20AC;? It would eliminate any surprises. â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Disappointed in Vermont Dear Disappointed: I agree that there should be more truth in advertising, which is why Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m printing your letter.

However, the same can be said for men who have also been known to fudge the truth about their height and weight, and whose photos feature them wearing baseball caps to hide their baldness. There will be a better outcome and fewer disappointments if the â&#x20AC;&#x153;moment of truthâ&#x20AC;? comes before the meeting.

Dear Abby: I am very frustrated because my soonto-be husband doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t shower often enough. He showers about twice a month â&#x20AC;&#x201D; and thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s it.

I have tried convincing him to get in the shower with me as foreplay, but he refuses. When I ask him why he wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t shower, he says he showers â&#x20AC;&#x153;enough.â&#x20AC;?

He doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t seem depressed or moody. He just smells really bad â&#x20AC;&#x201D; especially â&#x20AC;&#x153;down there.â&#x20AC;?

All of this is recent. Because he washes so infrequently, I have become less willing to have sexual contact with him. His hygiene problems are major.

When we first got together, he showered daily or at least every other day. He doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t understand how disgusted I am.

His behavior is extremely gross and unhealthy. Help! â&#x20AC;&#x201D; The Clean One Dear Clean One: You are absolutely right. Your fianceâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s poor hygiene is extremely gross and unhealthy. He understands how disgusted you are; he just doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t care. He cleaned up before because you hadnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t been â&#x20AC;&#x153;wooed and wonâ&#x20AC;? yet. He may change in the future, but not for the better.

You say this personality change is recent. You might be doing him a favor to suggest that itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s time for a checkup with his doctor.

Dear Abby: What is proper elevator etiquette? Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve always assumed that passengers should exit the elevator before new ones get on. However, I have seen some people push their way through the door while people are exiting. Shouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t they wait until everyone has left the elevator before entering? It seems like common sense to me. â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Ann in New York Dear Ann: It IS common sense, and itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s also the rule of etiquette. The people you describe are impatient, ignorant or rude.

Dear Abby is written by Abigail Van Buren, also known as Jeanne Phillips, and was founded by her mother, Pauline Phillips.

Brainstorming ways for Grandma to spend more time with her grandkids post-retirement

D

ear Carolyn: This summer, my mom retired from her long career as a librarian because she wanted to spend more time with her grandchildren â&#x20AC;&#x201D; my small kids and my older nieces and nephews. My siblings and I advised against this. She loved her work, and she does not do well with unstructured time.

And now, reality is not matching her expectations. We all have busy schedules, though I have tried to squeeze time out of each week for my kids to see her. So Mom is sitting home alone or coming up with ways to fill her time, and it saddens her, and me.

She does not try to guilt me about it, but I feel bad anyway because maybe I should have been even more forceful in warning her against retiring for the grandkids.

Do I have a responsibility to make my kids more available? â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Regretting Regretting: [This is plainly pre-pandemic advice, but, I could use a little sunshine.]

You did nothing wrong, so, no guilt. She made her own choice.

I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t think you have a responsibility to fix this, either, but maybe you could all benefit from a little creative thinking. The busier families are, the more opportunities for an extra adult to be a godsend. She is fully mobile and capable, yes? So, maybe sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d be thrilled to do a pickups, a run to a lesson or practice, anything that isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t taxing â&#x20AC;&#x201D; no fair putting her to â&#x20AC;&#x153;workâ&#x20AC;? unless she volunteers for it. Time with them solo also allows her to develop her own relationships with these kids.

Just talking about it with her might prompt other ideas. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Howâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s it going? I know you want to see the kids more.â&#x20AC;? Then float the idea of pitching in, no heavy lifting.

TONIGHT

Re: Retirement: When my mother-in-law retired from a career as a librarian, the first thing she did was volunteer at the kidsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; school in the library (with our permission and the kidsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; blessing).

Libraries always need volunteers â&#x20AC;&#x201D; experienced ones even more. The school had no problem scheduling her for when my kids had library time. The kids love it â&#x20AC;&#x201D; they get to see Grandma at school! And she gets to see the kids every week in their â&#x20AC;&#x153;natural habitat.â&#x20AC;?

Wins all around. â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Anonymous Anonymous: Brilliant.

Carolyn: Oh, wow, this IS brilliant. I hesitate to ask her to babysit, since I hate for it to seem like she has to pay a price (dealing with tantrums, potty, snacks, etc.) to see the kids. So this is a great solution. â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Regretting again Regretting again: Real-time update! This is so great.

I would also like to share that I read it as â&#x20AC;&#x153;potty snacks.â&#x20AC;?

And, while Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m here, I think itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s also fine to say you havenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t asked her to babysit because you donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t want her to feel obligated.

She then will be able to say, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Thank you for understanding,â&#x20AC;? or, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Ooh, ask me! Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve been waiting for you to offer, not wanting to butt in.â&#x20AC;? When youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re afraid of miscommunication, it can help sometimes to communicate about communicating: â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m not always sure how to handle [blank]. Do you have a preference?â&#x20AC;?

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

Journey through colors Car wash pulls photographer into unforgettable moments

By DAVE MASON NEWS-PRESS MANAGING EDITOR

Colors descend like a rainbow in front of you as you’re pulled forward into a dazzling display.

But this isn’t an art exhibit or a theme park ride.

It’s a car wash.

The new one at the Shell gasoline station, 90 E. State Route 246, Buellton, automatically pulls motorists forward into a colorful array of soap. Suds are coated in shades of red, purple, blue, black and white.

News-Press Photo Editor Rafael Maldonado saw the colors on his car’s windows and took these photos.

He said the relaxing experience goes beyond what you see. “You can smell the soap and the wax and hear the brushes against the sides of the car.” email: dmason@newspress.com NEWS-PRESS PHOTOS

‘I think it’s more productive when the student is one-on-one’ tempo

Continued from Page B1 conducted the actual singing instruction with one-on-one sessions.

This switch to digital teaching is a transition full of trial-anderror that many music teachers have had to deal with amid the pandemic. The showcase’s drummer, Mr. Birmingham, who frequently plays with Ms. Reali in professional gigs, also owns Santa Barbara Drum Lab on East Gutierrez Street, through which he works as a drum teacher. He too has found the shift to online lessons an awkward change.

“I think it’s more productive when the student is one-on-one because there’s two drum sets set up next to each other and it’s easier explained. You know, like, ‘Here, watch me,’ ” he said.

Due to the circumstances, if his student is unsure about concepts covered in a lesson, Mr. Birmingham will shoot a video of what they worked on using two GoPros and send it to his student.

Since Tuesday was only her students’ second time playing with Mr. Birmingham on drums and her on piano, Ms. Reali said she was “blown away” by what was left on stage during the showcase.

After each student performed individually, they all got together onstage for the finale, a group rendition of Ben E. King’s R&B classic “Stand By Me.” The vocal coach then stepped off the stage with Mr. Birmingham, Mr. Avenetti, Ms. Reyes and Mr. Davis, with laptop in hand so Ms. Eagret could digitally take part in signing off to their Facebook audience.

Ms. Reali made sure everyone could once more see the “We Survived” emblazoned on their shirts.

“We survived,” the coach said.

“Hugs and love, we are singing off officially. Thanks for tuning in.”
