UCSB’s Daniel Marella raises over $12,000 for COVID relief planning the charity swim for a couple months with a goal to raise $10,000. He already eclipsed that total, raising over $12,000 which will help fund COVID Home Kits and support Cottage employees. “The idea was 10 (miles) for 10,000 (dollars) but I’ve never done something like this before so I didn’t really know if that was possible or if that was too little or anything like that. But we ended up raising over $12,000 which is just $2,000 over the goal which is awesome,” Mr. Marella said. He hopes that more people will donate over the next few days after seeing that he accomplished the tough feat.

Many people might wake up a bit sore or exhausted this morning, but chances are Daniel Marella will have the better excuse. The 20-year-old UCSB swimmer swam 10 miles Saturday for charity, raising money in support of COVID-19 relief for Cottage Hospital. “I am definitely a lot more fatigued than I have been since coronavirus started,” Mr. Marella said with a laugh. “But it’s kind of nice to feel tired from a swimming related event.” The upcoming junior has been

Mr. Marella’s Saturday started very early — at 5:30 a.m. “Caffeine,” he said with a laugh. “I knew I needed to get some coffee in my system and definitely get a good breakfast. And it really didn’t hit me until this morning that I was actually going to do this swim.” By 7:15 a.m., the co-captain of the UCSB swim team was in the water surrounded by some teammates and friends who followed him through his journey, cheering him on. The journey started in Isla Vista, near El Embarcadero Road, and ended at the Santa Barbara Please see SWIM on A3

With an intense heat wave rushing through California, people were out in bunches at the beach near Stearns Wharf, hoping to catch a breeze and find some relief. Luckily, while doing so, many also formed a line to enter the Santa Barbara Museum of Natural History Sea Center, which reopened Saturday for the first time since the beginning of this pandemic. “It’s an exciting day for us to kind of finally be open and find a way for us to do that safely,” Richard Smalldon, director for the Sea Center, told the News-Press. “We’re excited the whole team has been able to pull together and set up an outdoor experience that kind of mimics our indoor experience.” The Sea Center received permission to open its outdoor

spaces to the public and will now be open every weekend from noon to 4:00 p.m. Some of the places that are open include the wet deck for exploring life beneath Stearns Wharf, as well a few exhibits set up outside.

Those small exhibits include touch-friendly swell sharks, sea anemones, sea stars, and other aquatic life from the Intertidal Wonders exhibit. Some remotely operated underwater vehicles are also placed outside which allow

people to catch a glimpse of the ocean floor at depths up to 300 feet. “There are a lot of people, it seems like, that want to experience this out here and so we’re glad to finally be back doing what we love which is sharing information about the ocean,” Mr. Smalldon said. He added that the reopening was not too tough, as the Sea Center had been preparing to reopen in July before the current spike in coronavirus cases forced the reclosure of most indoor operations. “We are part of the museum, so we have seen them re-open the butterfly experience outside, and we are glad we can follow suit with our aquatic exhibits out here,” Mr. Shelldon said. Saturday was also the perfect day for the Sea Center to reopen, as the warm, breezy conditions produced plenty of foot traffic on Please see sea center on A3

Webinar offers tips to replenish workforce By JORGE MERCADO NEWS-PRESS STAFF WRITER

With many people out of work due to COVID-19, the Workforce Development Board of Santa Barbara County met via zoom on Thursday to showcase its new Workforce Programs. The goal of the event was to provide information to the general public about eight local programs that aim to get folks working again. The board partnered with Equus Workforce Solutions, Goodwill Industries of Ventura and Santa Barbara counties, Santa Barbara County United Way, Transitions-Mental Health Association, and the Santa Barbara County Probation Department to explain how these organizations are offering help to those looking for work. Additionally, Allan Hancock College, Lompoc Adult Education and Santa Barbara City College all presented workforce training opportunities. The webinar opened with the COVID-19 National Dislocated Worker Grant, made in partnership with the Workforce Development Board and the Foodbank of Santa Barbara County. The grant aims to help job seekers who have been laid off because of the pandemic. This includes self-employed people who have lost their business, as well as those who have seen a reduction in work hours. The goal is to give them temporary employment. “The United Way will manage the outreach and intake of participants. Using CalJOBS, it will do this in partnership with the Workforce Development Board and will also provide for the day-to-day supervision of the participants and importantly we will ensure that at least 23 of the participants move on to Phase 2,” said Eddie Taylor, the CEO of Northern Santa Barbara County United Way. “Temporary job components will have access to immediate employment at $17 an hour for 17 hours per week for up to 20 weeks, along with some supportive services that may be available to them.” The next phase would include helping these people partner with local resources for job training, case management services and other similar practices. Osvaldo Sotelo, who works for Goodwill Industries of Ventura

and Santa Barbara counties, spoke about its new program, which launches Monday, aimed at assisting veterans with employment. It will serve veterans countywide that are honorably discharged. “Individuals who participate in our programs are able to receive 170 hours of good work experience at $17 an hour,” Mr. Sotelo said. They would also receive supportive services, such as help obtaining certificates, going back to school or other essential job preparation, such as interview prep. Kelsey Smith and Helen Foxworthy spoke on behalf of Transitions-Mental Health and its program, The Breaking Barriers to Employment which seeks to help those who are mentally ill attain jobs. “And by completing this training, you will gain support to follow your new career for one year, and this program will prove the concept that people with serious mental illness can be productive members of our community and when offered professional customized supportive paid training with wraparound employment services,” Ms. Foxworthy said. The goal is to provide training to 105 people to help them develop the resiliency, and also the skills, needed to successfully enter the job market. “It’s very competitive and very different from what we have known in the past so this is going to help by doubling the number of successful community job placements,” Mr. Smith said. Luis Servin, who works for the county board, presented a prison to employment program, which could launch in a couple of weeks. “The services also include softskills training and vocational training. There’s going to be paid work experience that participants are going to be able to work for a business and the program will pay their salaries while they’re doing that,” Mr. Servin said. The webinar also included information on youth services provided to those hoping to work or have been hurt by the pandemic. A replay of the webinar will be available at some point this week at www.sbcwdb.org. The site will also include links to the various services offered. email: jmercado@newspress.com

the wharf. “It seems like the first day we opened is when the first day of summer really hit here because it’s been a bit windy so that’s cool,” Mr. Shelldon said with a laugh. Heidi Wienzkowski, of Northridge, was at the Sea Center Saturday with her husband and two kids. She said the heat made them want to drive up the coast and find something fun and informative to do. “We decided to go somewhere by the coast so it’s a little cooler and somewhere outdoors to enjoy with the kids. They love coming to any kind of adult aquatic museum and this was one of the only ones open,” Ms. Wienzkowski said. She added that while it is important people stay indoors

and try to curb the virus, doing low-risk activities like this are also important for people’s mental health. “We’ve been trying to find creative ways to be outside and enjoy the outdoors. We are extremely lucky to live in a place like Los Angeles and Ventura County where there’s so many things accessible to us that you can still do safely. So I think it’s important for kids to be able, especially kids but grownups too, to be able to get out and not only enjoy the weather but, move your body and get some Vitamin D,” Ms. Wienzkowski said with a laugh. Families or groups are separated into small cohorts before they enter the wet deck and move to each exhibit as the other groups advance to follow social distancing protocols. This does increase the wait time, but Mr. Shelldon said families showed no signs of complaint Saturday and just

enjoyed their time outside. “This is kind of what we’re able to do safely right now, just be outside here and when they allow us to open the inside again, then we can find a way to make that as safe as possible,” Mr. Shelldon said. “But we feel real confident (about being able to keep people safe). We’ve been watching other businesses following the guidance with masks, social distance, hand sanitizer, limited flow and all those are working together for us to provide a safe experience.” He added that for right now they are content just opening on the weekends for four hours as they still need time to both set up and take down the exhibits each day. The gift shop is also open, with families being able to grab T-shirts, stuffed animals or other small items. email: jmercado@newspress.com

‘Once I saw the finish line it was pretty easy’ SWIM

Continued from Page A1 Yacht Club. Before Saturday, the junior had only swam six miles in the ocean. By noon, Mr. Marella had finished his 10-mile journey. “It was definitely tough. Once I finished mile seven, I hit a pretty tough wall but I just thought about what this is for and how much of an impact that this could have. Once I saw the finish line it was pretty easy,” Mr. Marella said. Having never swam that far before, Mr. Marella said the final three miles were definitely the hardest especially because of the route. “There’s a lot of points that are a little discouraging because you always think it’s going to be the final turn until you see the finish and there’s about three or four of those. Each one was a little bit more and more demoralizing but once we actually finished the final one, it was lights out from there,” Mr. Marella said. Once he saw the finish line, he was greeted by a bunch of friends and family, something he was not

expecting but was happy to see, especially with everyone wearing masks. “It was pretty surreal. I mean, I didn’t really expect for there to be a big crowd, I just thought it would be my teammates and my family but pretty much everyone who I’ve connected with in the swim world, you know, coaches old coaches, people that I’ve started to swim with since quarantine, everyone was there,” Mr. Marella said. Throughout his journey, he also heard a lot of cheers from people at different checkpoints, some UCSB athletes from other sports, and other people who heard about the event and wanted to support him. “It was something that I really haven’t experienced before. I had my closest friends on the kayaks and my assistant coach actually joined halfway but there were people on the beach just kind of cheering us on. It was kind of surprising to me how much the word has spread because people that I didn’t even know were cheering us on from the pier and from the beaches,” Mr. Marella said. With college sports being the

talk of the sports world right now, especially college football, Mr. Marella said he has noticed a lot of negative press. He didn’t want that to be the case for swimming. “Right now, swimming is getting good press and that means the world to me and to all my teammates and the people who I have met along this journey. I just want to give back to this sport that has done so much for me,” Mr. Marella said. Overall, if there’s one thing he hopes people take away from his swim, it’s that anybody can make a difference. “I’m just a kid. I’m 20 years old. I like playing video games, I like messing around with my friends and stuff so I mean, it is special that we could accomplish this, but if I can do it anyone else can do it,” Mr. Marella said. “Everyone’s got a special talent and if they could just take that talent and try to extend it that’s great. For me, I’m just using the talents and gifts that God gave me for good use. I mean that’s something special and anyone can do that.” email: jmercado@newspress.com

Drive-through mail boxes removed GOLETA — The drive-through mail boxes outside the United States Postal Service office on Patterson Avenue in Goleta were removed late last week. Goleta Mayor Paula Perotte told the News-Press that the city was never notified that the boxes were going to be removed, and personally discovered they were missing on Friday when dropping off mail. Ms. Perotte said she received several emails from the community expressing concern and outrage. “The city is looking into why they were removed and asking that the boxes be reinstalled,” Ms. Perotte said in an email. Council member Roger Aceves told the News-Press the public should contact the postal service regarding “this very wrong decision.” “To do this without public notice

Happy 95th Birthday, John Petrini!

McLaughlin-Batastini

With family looking on, John Petrini, Sr. celebrates his 95th birthday at Mission Terrace Convalescent Hospital. John is the patriarch of the Petrini family, founder of Petrini’s Family Restaurants, and a Santa Barbara resident since 1953. He is a proud WWII veteran. We wish him many more years of health and happiness, and thank the Mission Terrace staff for their excellent care and compassion.

Luisa and Dennis McLoughlin of Carpinteria announce the engagement of their daughter Asia McLaughlin to Nicholas Batastini, son of Barbara and Victor Batastini of Santa Barbara. Asia graduated magna cum laude from the University of Southern California, attended the School of International and Public Affairs at Columbia University in New York City, and works at International Justice Mission, a nonprofit protecting people in poverty from violence. Nicholas, a graduate of Western Washington University, works at Santa Barbara Sand and Topsoil, his family’s business supplying Santa Barbara County with aggregate building material since 1910. A May wedding is planned at Our Lady of Mount Carmel Church.

Editor’s note: Readers have asked for more sports coverage, and in response, the News-Press today is resuming senior staff writer Mark Patton’s sports column. Every Sunday, he will focus on national sports or, as you’ll see today, a blend of national and local sports. His stories about local sports will continue throughout the week in the NewsPress.

ootball is the real game of Risk, not that old board game that Parker Brothers hawked as the contest of “diplomacy, conflict and conquest.” When you have 11 behemoths crashing into 11 other behemoths at break-neck speed, there’s the chance you’ll end up with some … broken necks. The hazard of the sport, however, is a major attraction for its participants and fans. It best explains why so many universities will be playing football this fall under the threatening clouds of COVID-19. It’s the nature of the beast(s). Three of the Power 5 Conferences — the SEC, the Big 12 and the ACC — are taking the dare. The Pac-12 and the Big Ten are taking a hiatus, instead… at least until early 2021. Boris Lushniak of the Big Ten’s COVID-19 advisory group believes the other leagues realize the risk they’re taking with the health of their athletes, coaches and staff. “They think they can deal with it,” he told Sports Illustrated. “Do they have the answer to the unknowns? They really don’t, which means it’s on the spectrum of risk-taking behavior. “I can’t tell people, ‘You are doing the wrong thing.’ What I can tell people is, ‘You’re doing a risky thing.’” It’s become a classic clash of cultures. Those in the mostly redstate regions of the SEC, Big 12 and ACC root for their football

teams as if it’s life or death. Those who run the more blue-stately Pac12 and Big Ten are more likely to heed Dr. Anthony Fauci on matters of life and death. Fauci, the director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, said several weeks ago that it’s “very hard to see how football is able to be played this fall” if the players were not living in isolation and being tested every day. UCSB punted its football program nearly a half-century ago when it faced its own game of chance. The risk, however, was financial rather than medical. The Gauchos began to upgrade their football program when they hired “Cactus” Jack Curtice as their coach in 1963. He was one of the great innovators of the game, having earned the nickname of “Mr. Forward Pass” during a career that included stints at Utah and Stanford. The Kentucky native quickly charmed Santa Barbara’s sporting public. Before the coin toss in a game at Hawaii’s rain-drenched Aloha Stadium, he instructed his captains to “Take the shallow end of the field.” And after the Gauchos pulled out a 3-0 victory, he wondered aloud if it was actually “a catfish that Steve Ford

Curtice’s folksy approach wooed enough businesses to help pay for a new, 12,000-seat football stadium that would later expand to 16,000. He called it “Going downtown,” according to John Keever, a tight end who has remained an active Gaucho booster. UCSB’s student body joined the parade of support when Harder Stadium played host to its first football game in 1966. “The band marched through Isla Vista, and the students followed the band into the stadium,” Keever recalled. “And then the students lined up and made a tunnel outside the locker room, and we came out of the tunnel to the tune of ‘The Lonely Bull.’” Vince Lombardi brought some limelight to Harder Stadium a few months later by having his Green Bay Packers train there before the first Super Bowl. UCSB added real lights in 1968 and 4,000 more seats in 1969 while joining a new Division I league now known as the Big West Conference. Curtice also upgraded his schedule with non-league games at Texas Tech in 1970, Washington and Tennessee in 1971, and Wisconsin in 1972. He was even arranging to have Arizona, Colorado, Utah and Air Force visit Santa Barbara in future seasons. “And should the day come when the new stadium’s seating capacity is tripled,” wrote NewsPress sports columnist Phil Patton, “then it might well be possible that UCSB could offer a sufficient guarantee to bring a Big Ten, Southeastern or even Pacific 8 conference here to Santa Barbara.” But the numbers soon turned ugly for the Gauchos. They lost 63-12 to Texas Tech, 65-7 to Washington and 48-6 to Tennessee… while adding a

deficit of $100,000 to their budget. Risk management soon took control at UCSB, which dropped football from its athletic program after the 1971 season. The school took another fling at the sport when the student body funded a Division III program in 1986 and later upgraded it to Division II. But the NCAA mandated just a few years later that Division I schools play all their sports at that level, and the students voted against increasing the necessary investment. Like a greased pigskin, UCSB dropped football for good in 1991. “A school without football,” Lombardi once opined, “is in danger of deteriorating into a medieval study hall.” But what floats the boat of a Packer backer in Green Bay may not have the same buoyancy for a Gaucho on the balmy shores of Santa Barbara. UCSB adopted men’s soccer as the new favored sport of the fall after its team advanced to the NCAA final in 2004 and won the title in 2006. It hurt to lose football, but it wasn’t the end of the Gaucho world. Harder Stadium even played host to soccer’s College Cup in 2010 and 2018, and it was set to do so again in December until the NCAA postponed its fall championships. UCSB will almost certainly pull out as host even if soccer’s Final Four is moved to the spring. Athletic director John McCutcheon just wants to focus on safely navigating these risky waters of COVID. “It’s tricky,” he said, “but it’d be even more difficult if we were one of those big-time football schools, dealing with issues that are in a whole different stratosphere.” The Gauchos got off that high wire a long time ago.

gUEST OPINION

Giving our honor to the wind

scorpion, which cannot swim, asks a frog to carry it across a river on the frog’s back. The frog hesitates, afraid of being stung by the scorpion, but the scorpion argues that if it did that, they would both drown. The frog considers this argument sensible and agrees to transport the scorpion. Midway across the river, the scorpion stings the frog anyway, dooming them both. The dying frog asks the scorpion why it stung despite knowing the consequence, to which the scorpion replies: “I couldn’t help it. It’s in my nature.” Another fable features a scorpion and a turtle. However, in this instance, the turtle survives the scorpion’s sting thanks to its protective shell. The scorpion then informs the turtle that the sting was neither out of malice nor ingratitude, but merely an irresistible and indiscriminate urge to sting. The turtle then delivers the following reflection: “Truly have the sages said that to cherish a base character is to give one’s honor to the wind, and to involve one’s own self in embarrassment.”

These fables teach timeless in nothing and have no purpose in common sense values and insights, life, and narcissists, who are in love relative to human nature, all with themselves at all costs. of which is lost on today’s woke Moreover, instead of teaching progressives, the scorpions in this the self-evident truth that all story, who have literally stung men are created equal and that the minds of the young people our strength lies in the goal of raging against America. Examples e pluribus unum, schools are abound. teaching children, Instead of emphasizing especially those of relationships based on minority backgrounds, mutual trust, respect, that they are victims truth and honor with selfof a political and control — that is, genuine economic system that is love — progressives have irredeemable.

Conversely, generation of nihilists, who believe the French became the victims

of their own revolution, literally, as they sought equality by way of forced submission of their individual rights to mob rule based on secular human reason, which inevitably led to a dictatorship. The agenda progressives are promoting is eerily similar to that of France 200 years ago: the rejection of our political, economic, religious, and social order by any and all means. That is, the upheaval and tumult in America today is a revolution against American beliefs, values and traditions, which served to keep us alive and afloat all these years as a beacon of light and liberty. Hence, the efforts to defund, rather than defend, our institutions of law and order, deconstruct the nuclear family, and utterly reject our values and heritage, will relegate us to the fate of the gullible frog in the fable, doomed to drown, poisoned by secular humanism.

DRAWING BOARD

Ethnic studies: Closer but still no cigar

he ethnic studies curriculum now entering a public comment period before its scheduled adoption by the state Board of Education next spring is improved from last year’s rejected abomination, but remains a far cry from what it should be. In short, closer but still no cigar. The major improvement is that the new proposed curriculum this time recommends teaching about more forms of historic prejudice than the prior version, sent back to the drawing board almost exactly a year ago because it omitted so much. For example, the world’s oldest form of bigotry, anti-Semitism, didn’t get a mention in the previous version. Now it’s on the list of just over a dozen forms of historic discrimination and

persecution. to deal mostly with the Wow! What good news for history of whatever ethnic the 6 million Jews killed in group makes up the majority the Holocaust before and of their class.

Mexico ceded 55 percent of its prior territory to the United States after the MexicanAmerican War, including most of present-day Arizona, California, New Mexico, Texas, Colorado, Nevada and Utah. Maybe they’ll learn that some Mexican-American activists since the 1970s have pushed the concept of Aztlan, a mythical nation that would take former Mexican territory from America, and never mind who has lived there since the mid-1800s. It’s OK to teach about this, if done deftly and not as propaganda making students feel victimized. But it would not educate students about the other ethnic groups they will surely encounter while living in the world’s most diverse society. This state, after all, features native speakers of more than 80 languages. Please see elias on A7

VOICES

There was little concentration on achievements of any ethnic group

letters to the news-press Thank you for expanding Voices

hank you, News-Press, for the expanded Voices section in your newspaper. Our democracy is the vehicle by which we peacefully and safely steer our countryâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s future. A properly functioning democracy listens respectfully to all voices. It does not stifle, censor or cancel out certain perspectives, because to do soÂ wouldÂ be to perpetrateÂ a fraud on our democratic process. Our country is at such a critical juncture right now. It is more important than ever that the truth be told and that everyone think critically about all the issues. Only then can voters weigh everything in the balance, make their choice and mark their ballots. Caroline Abate Goleta

Respect the rule of law

ake up, America. You are being held captive by the Democratic governors and mayors of your state, and you seem to take the stand, â&#x20AC;&#x153;But what I can I do?â&#x20AC;? You are confined to your home. If you dare venture out, you must wear a mask or you can be fined. Your children share in this arrest and have lost the right to go to the schools that you have paid for in your property tax bill.Â Only those fortunate to have access to a computer can have contact with their studies. Those less fortunate â&#x20AC;&#x201D; well, too bad, no learning BUT with time on their hands can go out in riot gangs, no mask needed, those that are fragile and canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t cope, choose suicide.Â Â NO CHURCH GATHERINGS: Isolate and dehumanize and then wonder, what is happening?Â Â You own a business, have workers, abide by the laws laid down by the state government, but thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not good enough. Oh, you get to reopen; oh no, you are forced to close down again, and if you dare to sanitize to the â&#x20AC;&#x153;ninthâ&#x20AC;? and open up, you are arrested but and here is the â&#x20AC;&#x153;butâ&#x20AC;?: You can go out into the streets in gangs â&#x20AC;&#x201D; no masks, destroy statues, buildings, throw paint. Mayors can paint streets, but you, who have a business and want to paint your business name on the street, are arrested. Gangs of rioters canÂ and have blinded police with lasers, but when the police try for order, they are punished and police departments are defunded. Firecrackers, bricks and baseball bats are used against them. In my â&#x20AC;&#x153;ancientâ&#x20AC;? era, we hadÂ the groups of 18 to 20-plus enlist in the service of World War II, to defend their country and fight to protect, not tear this country down. Gangs have broken into private, gated communities and threatened homeowners, and when the homeowner tries to defend, the HOMEOWNER IS ARRESTED.Â And of course, because of â&#x20AC;&#x153;THE VIRUS,â&#x20AC;? prisoners are released into the population and can do whatever, knowing they wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t get punished. The news is not news, it is

a scare tactic, with the tilted numbers of virus deaths, FYI, not all are virus deaths, but it makes the numbers look goodÂ Statistics show 99.8% of the people who had virus, recover This is how to destroy this, OUR COUNTRY.Â Are you willing to continue to let power-grabbing governors, mayors continue this ruling?Â I am not, thus this letter. Rule by law, not by lawlessness.Â Letâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s take back what we all have worked for. KEEP AMERICA, AMERICA. GOD BLESS AMERICA.Â Â Â Â Â Anita Dwyer Lompoc

Letâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s ground flying banners

am shocked that the city of Santa Barbara is allowing the advertising banners being towed by airplanes along the beach.Â Santa Barbara has always had the strictest sign rules. The city does not allow billboards. Signs must be small and artistic and go through a rigorous process with the Santa Barbara Sign Committee. (Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve been through this process and know how meticulous they are).Â These are not tasteful signs that enhance our beach areas. They are tacky banners towed over our city that take away from the beauty of our coastline. The other issue is the noise factor from the planes flying back and forth every weekend and sometimes during the week.Â I live in the city and have to listen to this obnoxious drown, and Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m sure the tourists andÂ residents of the beach area feel the same way. I think the Santa Barbara City Council should review and address this issue! Sue Burk Santa Barbara

Santa Barbara needs meaningful reform

ear City Council, what would meaningful reform look like? I have a litmus test:Â â&#x20AC;&#x153;Is it good for children?â&#x20AC;? If the answer is â&#x20AC;&#x153;yes,â&#x20AC;? then itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a good policy. If the answer is â&#x20AC;&#x153;no,â&#x20AC;? then scrap it. Housing, homelessness and elementary schools are the biggest problems facing children in Santa Barbara. Our City Council is failing the community with regard to all three. The homeless. Protect the mentally ill and veterans. It is completely hypocritical to pretend that allowing a mentally ill person to sleep on the sidewalk is some sort of compassionate solution.Â Stop deceiving yourselves. It is completely inhumane for the mentally ill homeless person. And it is also completely unacceptable for the public (read children) to whom the streets and parks and sidewalks belong and which the city has a duty to maintain for the use of children.Â Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a disgrace and itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s completely unacceptable. Find housing for every mentally ill homeless person in Santa Barbara.Â

Veterans. These people put their lives on the line for your freedom. Are you kidding me?Â Veterans are sleeping on the streets and in the parks? Find housing for every homeless veteran in Santa Barbara. Cops. Do we have bad cops in Santa Barbara?Â Fire them. That would require meaningful reform to the police union.Â Â The role of a police department with integrity is one of the most important roles in a civilized society.Â Our City Council must push back against the police unionâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s ability to protect bad cops from censure and punishment. Police station. Donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t build a police station at Cota Street. Give that land back to the school district for the use of children. In 1870, Lincoln School was built. It served the children of Santa Barbara for over a hundred years.Â It must be rebuilt: on that Cota Street site, its historic site, to once again serve families in the downtown neighborhood.Â Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s something that would actually be meaningful reform. Budget collapse from a global pandemic compounded by civic unrest calling for meaningful reform of society. Who would have thought that those might just be the unlikely catalysts to actually shake up the status quo and do something bold and beautiful.Â Citizens for Neighborhood Schools has been advocating for the rebuilding of Lincoln School for over 20 years. Alice P. Post Past president, Citizens for Neighborhood Schools

Letâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s reopenÂ completely

elow is a letter that I sent to the Santa Barbara City Council:Â Â I can appreciate that you all are very busy now.Â However, I am stunned and angered by our cityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s submission to the absurd requirements of our state government regarding the COVID19 virus. To date there have been 60 deaths out of a county population of 500,000.Â That is .00012%. Citizens here should be demanding that the county reopen completely.Â The officials and politicians who continue to promote false narratives should be voted out of office in November. And the reporting that you see on TV and read in the papers are only continuing the panic by promoting the number of new cases, not the reality that very, very few people in Santa Barbara will die from the virus. Yet the politicians and reporters all insist on ruining peopleâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s lives and our economy. It is time for someone to take a stand for the people of this city and county. Â Bill Rice Santa Barbara Â Editorâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s note: The letter was submitted before the latest COVID19 numbers. As of Friday, there have been 77 deaths in the county, according toÂ the Santa Barbara County Public Health Department (publichealthsb.org.)

Another weakness: The curriculum still divides Californians into four basic groups, as demanded by the Critical Ethnic Studies Association, an academic group focusing on â&#x20AC;&#x153;colonialism and conquest, racial chattel slavery and white supremacist (doctrines).â&#x20AC;? These folks also dominated the design of last yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s rejected ethnic studies plan. It failed because rather than work toward racial harmony, it focused on falsehoods, divisive issues and longstanding grudges. There was little concentration on achievements of any ethnic group, especially leaving out

all positives about European colonists and other white immigrants who designed the country that became the most successful on Earth, both economically and, often, in living up to its democratic ideals. Â Ignore that history, and students will get a warped education on what it means to be American, how the nation was shaped and how to get along with others who look different from them. Or as Williamson Evers, a visiting scholar at Stanford Universityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Hoover Institution, said, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re leaving out all kinds of ethnic groups â&#x20AC;Ś who had to work their way into success, and how they did it. There may be important lessons there.â&#x20AC;? Â Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s possible the new plan

will get more revisions to make it fairer and more accurate, while accomplishing state Schools Supt. Tony Thurmondâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s stated goal of promoting a â&#x20AC;&#x153;fairer, more just society.â&#x20AC;? But the plan doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t get near that yet, so it should be sent back for a second rewrite unless itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s improved considerably before next spring.Â Â Email Thomas Elias at tdelias@aol.com.

Continued from Page A6 goal of adding adequate housing for the future, but for whom? The million-dollar question is, who will build these units with so many possible constraints on the landlord? We suspect it will be versions of the Santa Barbara Housing Authority. After all, they already follow the proposed constraints. Who else will have the power, leverage and money to

afford to build all this housing? Â The city of Santa Barbara has received its latest RNHA numbers (Regional Needs Housing Assessment/Allocation) allotted from Santa Barbara County, and per our city officials, Sacramento has decreed that SB must add 8,000 more housing units by 2031. We wonder what are the numbers allocated to Goleta, Carpinteria, Santa Maria, Lompoc, Buellton?

OBITUARIES

SUNDAY, AUGUST 16, 2020

PADILLA, Joseph, Jr. Joseph Padilla Jr. passed away peacefully on Wednesday, July 8th, 2020. Born on May 30, 1938 to Joe and Beatrice Padilla of Santa Barbara, Joe was raised in Santa Barbara and attended Dolores School (Notre Dame) and Santa Barbara High School. After high school, he was married to his high school sweetheart, Esther Vega, in which they were married for 63 years. Joe joined the air force in 1956 studying aircraft instrument repair. After leaving the service he attended Santa Barbara City College taking courses in electronics, motor controls and design, and platform computer programming. Joe was a graduate of the apprenticeship class of 1964. As a journeyman electrician from 1970-1981, he built his reputation designing circuitry for gas compressor controls, fire and gas automation for many south coast offshore platforms for Union Oil, Chevron, Arco, Texaco, and Sun Oil supervising crews between 50-100 electricians. In 1982, he took up residence in Jakarta, Indonesia along with his wife to take on a job supervising 200 crew members on 47 production platforms assisting with on-thejob training on power distribution and production. From 1984 to 1987 Joe supervised and was responsible for 50 crew members on the installation testing and modifications of launch hardware for the space shuttle project at Vandenberg Air Force Base in California. In his later years he taught the 5th-year apprenticeship program for many years into his retirement. Joe was a member of the International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers Union 413 for over 40 years. Joe, in his younger years, enjoyed fishing on the ocean, camping, barbecuing, and watching football games on weekends and holidays with friends and family. Joe always believed that with hard work, success can be achieved. Preceding Joe in death are his father Joe Padilla, his mother Beatrice, and his brother Richard. He is survived by his wife, Esther, sons Joey, Ron (Natasha), and Dan; grandchildren Brionna, Justin, Daniel, and Vanessa; brother David (Valerie) and sister Dorothy (Glen). Due to the coronavirus there will be a private family burial and a celebration of life will be planned for a future date.

WISE, Dan Morris After a ten-year battle with chronic lymphocytic leukemia, Dan Morris Wise passed away peacefully at home on August 4, 2020, with his wife of 53 years by his side.

Nickolas Martin, a bartender for over 60 years and life-long resident of Santa Barbara, CA, passed away peacefully on August 6, 2020, in Goleta, CA. Nick was born in McGill, Nevada, in 1933, to Greek immigrants James and Mary Martin.

Dan was born in Paris, Texas, on May 31, 1939, the only child of Morris and Velma Wise. In 1941, the family moved to Hawthorne, CA, where Dan grew up. They eventually settled in Solvang in 1960.

Nick is survived by his daughter, Nicolette Martin Van Winkle (Donn), sister, Artis Chamberlin-Pattison (Jerry), sister Emilie McMinn-Sears, brother Ted Martin (Cynthia), nieces, Jamie Chamberlin-Granner (Nathan) and Irene Zervos, and nephews George, Jim and Simon Jr Zervos. He was pre-deceased by sister Sophie Zervos.

After graduating from University of California, Santa Barbara, and earning a master’s degree from Cal Poly, Dan went on to teach upper grades at Jonata Elementary, where he met his future wife, Linda, a fellow teacher. Later he taught at Santa Ynez Elementary and retired after serving public education in the Valley for 27 years. A member of the small business community as well, he owned and operated a shop in Solvang, the Great Danish Ice Cream Company, for 16 years.

Nick attended SBHS, Class of 1951, and enjoyed being a yell leader. He attended Cal Poly SLO and was a whiz at math and science, often helping his classmates with their homework. He began working in the restaurant business alongside his father, who owned the Busy Bee Café on lower State Street. This is where he observed true generosity of spirit – watching his dad feed the homeless and people in need. In the early years, Nick owned his own bar on Hollister Avenue named Renos, which was then renamed Mr. M’s when he partnered with the Malloy Brothers. Nick tended bar for years at several bars, including Torky’s, The Hideout and The Bak Door in Goleta. Nick was a great bartender and a most personable and well-loved employee.

A loving father, Dan was devoted to his son and daughter and always nourished their interests. His exceptional creativity was evident in his paintings, ceramics and sculpture, which he pursued in his spare time. In later years, he turned his artistic eye to landscaping and took great pride in the plantings and hardscape design of his home’s beautiful gardens. Most of all he was proud of his children and their accomplishments.

Nick was an avid water skier and golfer. True to his Greek heritage, he enjoyed cooking and loved to entertain. His infectious personality was always evident. He had that spark, that movie star charisma that drew people to him. He had the most wonderful way of making everyone he spoke to feel special and seen. He had a twinkle in his eye. It was at once mischievous and funny and smart and totally contagious.

Dan will be dearly missed by his family and by those who knew and respected him for his kind and gentle ways. God bless him and may he rest in peace.

He will be deeply missed by his friends, family and anyone who was lucky enough to know him. May his generosity and kindness be forever remembered.

Dan was preceded in death by his parents, Morris and Velma Wise. He is survived by his wife Linda; son Paul (Aki) and granddaughters Hana and Mari of Downingtown, PA; daughter Robyn (Eric) of San Francisco.

Due to current travel restrictions, a family service will be held at a later date. Dan wanted to extend a special thank you to Dr. Daniel Greenwald and Dr. Richard Belkin for their years of excellent care. Should friends desire, memorial contributions may be sent to the Santa Ynez Valley Humane Society.

DALTON, Sue Ann

Sue Dalton passed away at her home in Lompoc on August 3, 2020. She was surrounded by her loving family and will be truly missed by all those fortunate enough to have known this wonderful woman. Sue was born on December 28, 1937, in Taft, CA, to Joseph and Catherine Linden. She graduated from East Bakersfield High School and was crowned Bakersfield’s ‘Maid of Cotton’ of 1955. She met the love of her life, Stephen Dalton, while in high school, and they began their married life together in May 1956. Sue and Stephen had three sons, Kirk, Gregory and Jeffrey, whom they raised in Lompoc. Sue was a graceful, beautiful ballet dancer and nothing gave her more joy than to bring the art of ballet to students in Lompoc when she opened her ballet studio, The Sue Dalton School of Ballet, in 1967. She loved every moment she taught ballet and every student was special—her dance family. Touching lives with dance gave her so much joy, and when it came time to enter the second chapter of her life after 28 years of teaching ballet, she knew the ballet studio would continue to thrive under the capable direction of a former student. Sue always had an uncanny way of being at the forefront of new ways to improve the body’s health and discovering Pilates in the early 1980s was no different. She studied Pilates for years and incorporated parts of it via a Body Sculpting class at her ballet studio; however, after moving to the Bay Area in 1994, Pilates became a central part of her life. She was selected to train with a second-generation Joseph Pilates’ instructor and completed over 1000 hours of training and studies. In 2003, she opened Premier Pilates of Santa Ynez and started the second chapter of her life. Sue had a magical way of knowing what each of her clients needed, as no two Pilates sessions were the same. She cared deeply for her clients and always wanted to do her best for them—her Pilates family. Sue was preceded in death by her parents and two nephews. She is survived by her husband Stephen, son Kirk (Sherri), son Gregory (Catherine), son Jeff (Christina) and grandchildren Megan Hird (Keenan), Conor, Justin (Casey), Lauren, Parker, Stephen and Chase, as well as, great-grandchildren Stella Hird, Bentley Hird, and Colt Dalton, brother Mike Linden (Lori) and many nieces, nephews, grandnieces and grandnephews. In lieu of flowers, please consider making a contribution in Sue’s memory to your most favored charity. A Celebration of Life will be held at The Mission Club in Vandenberg Village on Saturday, August 29, 2020, from 12:00 p.m. to 4:00 p.m.

GARLAND, Pamela B. Joliet Pamela gave up her battle against cancer on August 5th, 2020, in Santa Barbara, California only hours after her 2nd granddaughter, Vera, was born. Pamela was brave, gracious, caring and believing, and left us too soon. Born 9/30/50 in Lubbock, Texas. Her pops left not long after, and Pamela traveled west with her mom and uncles on Route 66 to find some good oranges and ultimately Santa Barbara. They settled on the Riviera first where Pamela first met Jesus, holding her little birdy, that had recently died. From there, she moved to Calle Poniente, on the west side where she spent a large part of her life. Also, living next door to the State Theater (the old Unity Shop) she would listen to movies through her window at night. Her mom, Wynne Tuffnell, remarried (John Rowbottam) and Pam soon had two brothers, Steve and Mike, whom she loved. She attended local schools including Harvey Haver’s Free school for awhile. Later, she enrolled in Butte College in Chico, where she studied art and created fine etches, and became a fine artist. Back home in Santa Barbara she worked at the “Tea House” restaurant, around the same time as her future husband, Jim Garland, though they weren’t destined to join up at that moment. Her travels took her to Bellingham, WA as well as New York City for awhile, until settling back down with her new daughter Fiona in Santa Barbara. Fiona’s father Mark Dudley stayed behind in Monterey, and Pam rejoined her mom Wynne. Fiona started school at Waldorf School where they both became very involved. About that time, 1998, she met and married Jim and together they raised Fiona and Jim’s son, Kilian. Many wonderful times were spent at the beach and at surfing contests. Her favorite pastimes were sewing, yoga, art, and time spent with Spunky and Pancakes, her favorite doggies, on long walks. She especially liked the dance floor at the great Blues Society concerts. More recently she enjoyed traveling to Costa Rica, Mexico, Cape Cod, Canada, Florida and special road trips through the heartland and the Mississippi Delta. The later years were spent with taking care of her mom and attending many Al-Anon meetings. She offered her whole life as a gift to others, and she will be sorely missed by those left behind, discovering her treasures. Pamela is survived by her loving husband Jim, daughter, Fiona, and granddaughters: Rainy Mae, and Vera. She is also survived by Jim’s son Kilian, and Jim’s extended family, her brother, Stephen Rowbottam, cousins John Rowbottam and his extended family, Aunt Eileen and Jim Morton, and nephews, John and Jason Bauman and Joshua Rowbottam.

FRAZER, Mary Madeline September 24, 1930 - July 28, 2020 Our beloved mother, Mary Frazer, died in her home, surrounded by family, early on July 28, 2020. Born 1930, in Detroit, to Raymond & Rebecca Logan, Mary was a conscientious, generous & kind, hard-working mother, wife, friend & neighbor, as well as a creative, talented cook. Mary was the fourth of six children: James, John, Harold, Mary, Jacqueline and Francis. Sadly, Rebecca died when Mary was only 16. Because Mary’s older brothers left school to fight in WWII, Mary was first to graduate from St. Benedict High School in 1948, then, from Mercy College in 1951 (Nursing). Mary & her dad drove from Detroit to Santa Monica, where she began her career as a nurse. In a 1954 blind date, a charming aeronautical engineer from Dixon, IL won her heart; she & Henry Frazer married in 1954 at St. Benedict’s Roman Catholic Church, Detroit, after which they returned to Santa Monica, where their first two daughters were born. In 1956, they moved to Santa Barbara, where Hank joined the growing local aeronautical industry, and there, welcomed the births of a son and two more daughters. Until 1958, Mary worked as nurse and nursing instructor. Then, she devoted years to her children, family & community. She led brownies & girl scout troops, cub & boy scout packs, was Girl Scout Cookie Mom for years, volunteered at the First Presbyterian Church, took on various roles in Washington Elementary School’s PTA, even helping as a playground “yard duty.” In 1974, after the end of her marriage, Mary returned to nursing, eventually becoming the Assistant Director of Nurses at Cottage Care Hospital. Throughout the 1980s and 1990s, Mary and her sister, Jacqueline, met in Las Vegas, where they laughed and played the dollar slots, to remarkable successes. Mary retired in 1992, to garden, indulge her voracious appetite for reading, enjoy the company of her children, grandchildren & eventually, great grandchildren, and enjoy life in Santa Barbara. Mary is survived by 5 children: Rebecca Shawver of Redmond, OR, Kathleen & Giles Kenyon of Cave Creek, AZ, Michael & Maybel Frazer of Port Hueneme, CA, Jennifer Frazer & Steve Phillips of New Canaan, CT, & Barbara Logan, Santa Barbara; 9 grandchildren: Jason & Jessica Raasch, Katie Shawver, Roy DeMarco, Anna Cessario, Emma & Logan Phillips, Paul & Mae Jean Logan; 3 great-grandchildren: Audrey DeMarco, Dominic & Daniel Cessario; her brother Francis Logan, & many nieces & nephews. Because the Covid-19 pandemic prevented a public gathering, we held an intimate family memorial. We hope to someday hold a public celebration of our beloved mother’s life.

MERSHON, Terrie Ratkevich Terrie Ratkevich Mershon passed away from a very brief illness on April 9th, 2020. Terrie was born Virginia June Norton on June 30th, 1926, in Longview, Washington. She had an older brother Chuck, and her best friend throughout childhood, her twin brother Vince. The family moved to St. Helena, California in the 1930s living on the “Parrots Estate” where her father was a caretaker. At the age of 18 Terrie made the unprecedented decision to be the first in her family to attend college and moved to Santa Rosa. She eventually moved to Berkeley and while working for a physics professor at UC Berkeley Terrie and met her first husband, Adam Ratkevich, the professor’s teaching assistant. Adam and Terrie (her nickname from college) moved to Southern California where their 3 children, Lise, Jyl and Mark were born. In the mid 1960’s, as her children were entering school, Terrie decided to complete her education and attended San Diego State University with a double major in teaching and speech therapy. She made a conscious decision to study in a field that would enable her to work during the school year and be off when her children were home on summer break. Terrie and her children moved to Redlands, CA in 1968 where she received her master’s degree from the University of Redlands in speech pathology. After returning to San Diego, she began her career at Grossmont High School and then Grossmont College. Terrie also at this time began investing in various business’s and real estate, buying her 1st house after borrowing against her car for a down payment. Terrie met and married her second husband, Paul Mershon, in 1981 in San Diego. They moved to Santa Barbara in 1986, where they were actively involved in Newcomers and the Santa Barbara Symphony. They bought their own estate on School House Road in Montecito and hosted many events for the symphony there. Terrie and Paul traveled extensively during these early years buying furniture from around the world for their home. In 2007 Terrie met her fiancé John Manson. They enjoyed many activities together, cruises, dancing, reading, democratic politics, watching tennis, and sharing the healthy lifestyle of a vegetarian diet. Terrie’s greatest love was her grandchildren, Kyle and Alek from Santa Barbara, and Charli and Vinnie from San Diego. She was an active grandmother, attending sports events and school plays, traveling to exotic places with her family during summer vacations, and hosting incredible birthday parties at her estate. Terrie will be remembered for her kindness, intelligence, and sophistication. She was an avid reader, well versed in politics and believed in the value of investing in real estate. Terrie had a great eye for style and thoroughly enjoyed remodeling her many homes. She was still living independently at the age of 93 prior to her passing. She leaves behind her 3 children: Lise Ratkevich, Jyl Aker, and Mark Ratkevich, and her 4 grandchildren: Kyle Aker, Alek Aker, Charli Darling, and Vinnie Ratkevich, along with her fiancé, John Manson.

MILLS, Mary Lloyd (Dow)

Mary Lloyd (Dow) Mills, 82, of Solvang, CA passed away on the morning of August 4, 2020. She was born in Midland, Michigan on August 9, 1937. She is survived by her loving and devoted husband of 63 years, Kendall Mills, their three children, Bonnie, David, and Chris Mills and their spouses, Doug Eicher, Wanda Mills, and Mireille Mills; their grandchildren Charles Dennis, Addison Mills, Taggart Mills, Tilly Mills, Marisol Mills, and Lautner Mills. She is also survived by her brother, Mike Dow and his family; and her sister, Barbara (Dow) Carras and her family. Mary Lloyd, known to all as Lloyd, was a passionate and outspoken young person. She attended the Leelanau School in Michigan and then went on to Connecticut College for her freshman year. She began dating Ken Mills, who was a senior at Yale University, and there was no turning back. After her sophomore year of college, she married Ken and they moved to Kassel, Germany while he was serving in the U.S. Army. They loved their time in Germany and were able to take advantage of weekends away for visits to other areas of Europe. Lloyd and Ken returned to Michigan after their time in Germany. In 1962, Ken’s work brought him to Los Angeles, California. Settling in Pasadena, Lloyd kept busy raising her first two children and returning to college to earn her undergraduate degree. She graduated from Occidental College in 1965 with a degree in philosophy. Always interested in furthering her education, Lloyd later completed her Master’s Degree in German from UCSB in 1990. After ten years in Pasadena, Lloyd, Ken, and their now three children moved to Solvang, California in June of 1972. They wanted a change of pace for their family and to spend more time outdoors. Lloyd fell in love with the Santa Ynez Valley and became even more passionate about spending time outside and developing her hiking skills. In 1978 with support from some very good friends, she led the effort to found the Santa Ynez Valley Women Hikers (SYVWH). She created this group, which still exists today and is well-regarded in the Santa Barbara County area, as a way to develop new friendships, nurture a strong feeling of camaraderie between members, explore new areas of the county’s many trails, all while staying in shape and spending time in the open air. This group of women became an important core of Lloyd’s social group, enlarging to include a book club, knitting and sewing circles, a bridge club, social events (men included here), and travel to other places to hike, in the U.S. and Europe. In the late 1980s, Lloyd and Ken began to increase their travel and started taking hiking trips to the mountains of Germany, Austria, and Switzerland. In the mid-1990’s they decided to go out on their own and lead organized trips of friends and other hikers. Lloyd never missed a summer going to her beloved mountains until this year when it became impossible to travel. For many years from the 1960s-1980s, Lloyd and Ken were active members in the Christian Science Church in Pasadena and Ballard, and later the Unity Church in Santa Barbara. They were involved as leaders and supporters and made many friends both in Pasadena and Santa Barbara. Lloyd was passionate about the arts and was an ongoing patron and supporter of the local theatre and music groups in Solvang and Santa Barbara. She gave generously of her time and served on the Board of CAMA (Community Arts Music Association of Santa Barbara) and many other local nonprofit community boards over the years. Her family wishes to thank all of her dear friends for supporting Lloyd over the years and for bringing her so much joy. Those close to her gave meaning and purpose to her life in a way that all of her family appreciates and treasures. A private gathering was held with a few family members on what would have been Lloyd’s 83rd birthday on August 9. A physically-distanced memorial was also held at Nojoqui Falls Park with her beloved hiking group, where all gathered in a circle and blew bubbles into the air in Lloyd’s honor. In lieu of flowers, donations in Lloyd’s name may be made to the Santa Ynez Valley Foundation at www.syvalleyfoundation.org or CAMA at www.camasb.org. Lloyd’s family knows that she built a strong community and that there are many who cared for her, but during this difficult time they ask that all refrain from reaching out to her husband, Ken.

Montecito garden finds ways to adapt during pandemic

Lotusland’s evolution

By DAVE MASON NEWS-PRESS MANAGING EDITOR

ike the rare exotic plants that flourish in Ganna Walska Lotusland, the renowned Montecito botanical garden is surviving. Not that it has been easy. “It (the pandemic) has caused a severe financial burden,” Rebecca Anderson, the garden’s new executive director, told the NewsPress last week as she walked on paths through the diverse species, great and small. As the sun burned through the morning overcast, Ms. Anderson said Lotusland lost money because of a decrease in visitors and the cancellation of fundraising events during the pandemic. “We’ve experienced a $1 million shortfall in revenue,” Ms. Anderson said, noting that the garden had to lay off a third of its staff. But the garden, which reopened last May and is dedicated to saving plants from extinction, has found successful ways to ensure its own survival and serve the community. That has meant finding new ways to provide traditional programming and raise money for the 100% privately funded garden. There has been success. Ms. Anderson said an online auction exceeded expectations and raised $400,000. And she noted there is a renewed popularity for botanical gardens during the pandemic and added that Lotusland is safe for visitors. “You may be in the garden with 40 people on 37 acres. We feel there’s extreme social distancing,” Ms. Anderson said as she walked toward Lotusland’s Japanese Garden. Ms. Anderson came to Lotusland in 2016 as its development director and became interim executive director in December. Lotusland recently named the San Diego native, who attended Santa Barbara High School, as its permanent executive director. “My childhood was with two parents who were educators and former hippies,” Ms. Anderson said. She explained her parents’ background inspired her fascination with gardens and nature in general. Ms. Anderson, who attended Santa Barbara City College, earned her bachelor’s at UC Santa Cruz. She also has a master’s in organizational management at Antioch University. After UC Santa Cruz, Ms. Anderson returned to Santa Barbara to start her career with nonprofits. She oversaw the teen

programs at Girls Inc. of Santa Barbara. She also served as the development director at Child Abuse Listening Mediation and the Scholarship Foundation of Santa Barbara. She was the manager of annual giving for Cottage Health programs. Her fundraising experience set the stage for her arrival at Lotusland, where she sees her job as supporting staff and volunteers to do their best work. Ms. Anderson noted the garden’s earlier closure during the pandemic allowed staff a chance to make improvements. After the reopening, she realized the pandemic meant the garden couldn’t have its traditional field trips with groups of fourth graders.

ARIES â&#x20AC;&#x201D; This could be a trigger-happy week unless you can find a way to defuse any awkward situations. It wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t take a lot for you to blow your top. Be careful. TAURUS â&#x20AC;&#x201D; If you have tried your best to keep the peace and not rock the boat, your resolve could now be tested. You might even find that letting it all out is much better than keeping it in. anger GEMINI â&#x20AC;&#x201D; There could be a misunderstanding with a friend early in the week, with you both holding very different views. This is one of those times when it might be easier to agree to disagree CANCER â&#x20AC;&#x201D; There could be a misunderstanding with a friend or group that can be remedied if you choose to let it go rather than make a big deal out of it. LEO â&#x20AC;&#x201D;This week may be a turning point that encourages you to seek new opportunities, and you could be very fired up about doing so. Donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t lose the momentum. VIRGO â&#x20AC;&#x201D; You might need to be patient with someone early in the week if they hold beliefs that clash with yours and wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t compromise. Donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t try to force things. LIBRA â&#x20AC;&#x201D; There will be awkward issues to contend with this week Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s possible that ill feelings with a friend have been building up for some time, and they may come to a head. SCORPIO â&#x20AC;&#x201D; This week is very much a time to shine your light and display your skills and abilities. This could bring opportunities that you will be eager to take advantage of. SAGITTARIUS â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Has your financial situation been preventing you from enjoying life? If so, you might feel youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve just about had it this week. You may come up with some creative solutions to your situation, and this could be a turning point. CAPRICORN â&#x20AC;&#x201D; This week there could be a disconnect in a romantic relationship if you and another canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t see eye to eye. However, it might be a difference of perspective and not the problem it seems. AQUARIUS â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t put a lot of pressure on yourself to do something this week when it might be the wrong approach. Lower your expectations and be kind to yourself. PISCES â&#x20AC;&#x201D; There could be the potential for a misunderstanding or a disconnect as the week gets underway. If youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re working with or collaborating with someone, this could lead to things not going as planned.

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 16, 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.

boyfriend proves stingy

ear Abby: I am in a long-distance relationship with a man who lives halfway across the country. Because heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s very wealthy, he arranges for all the airfare. I am a single mother and I have limited finances. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Bruceâ&#x20AC;? owns a successful business and, through his business, racks up millions of credit card points. He never pays out of pocket for any vacation expenses â&#x20AC;&#x201D; hotels, car, airfare, cruises, etc. Because I have been flying so often to see him, I have been bumped several times from my flights and received travel credits on the airlines, which I was excited to get because now I have the ability Abigail to fly with Van Buren my children somewhere. The problem is, Bruce insists I use the vouchers only to see him since they were obtained on his points. I argued that they were my vouchers for giving up my seats. He says, yes, the seats HE â&#x20AC;&#x153;bought.â&#x20AC;? Getting airfare is absolutely no skin off his nose â&#x20AC;&#x201D; he has millions of dollars and millions of points! Am I out of line here? â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Bumped in Kansas Dear Bumped: I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t think so. However, you are getting an insight into Bruce â&#x20AC;&#x201D; who appears to be unwilling to subsidize any travel that includes your children. If you havenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t already noticed, that should be a big red flag if youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re considering a future with this millionaire. Dear Abby: My three best friends over the last four years recently decided to start a business together. They said I was more than welcome to join them, but financially I wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t able to swing it. I work parttime, so I have been helping them when I can. When we get together for dinner once a month, most of their conversation focuses on their business. But recently they discussed a shopping trip they took together. They went on a day I could have gone, but I was not invited. Should I take this â&#x20AC;&#x201D; and other similar incidents â&#x20AC;&#x201D; as a hint that our friendship has run its course? â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Feeling Left Out Dear Feeling left Out: Talking about the shopping trip in front of you was insensitive. However, you may not have been invited because your friends were afraid you might be embarrassed it you could not participate in the shopping. You mentioned that their business arrangement is recent. They may be discussing business because thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s what is on their minds. Donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t write them off or withdraw just yet. You can always do that. Wait to see how things play out. Dear Abby: Help! Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m a 67year-old man being relentlessly chased by a 68-year-old woman. I have told her I want to date other women and will be moving out of the country at the end of the year. Despite this, she is constantly trying to maneuver me into an exclusive relationship, probably ending in living together. I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t want to hurt her, but Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m at a loss as to how to get her to back off. â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Happily Uncommitted Dear Uncommitted: Hereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s how. Tell her you canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t handle the pressure sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s putting on you and end the relationship now.

My boyfriendâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s always off helping a friend in need, at the expense of our alone time

ear Carolyn: When I started dating â&#x20AC;&#x153;Tim,â&#x20AC;? my friends were very excited. I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t usually date, especially long-term. Tim is a great guy, really nice, very funny and endlessly sweet. Almost too sweet. He constantly overextends himself, drives hours out of his way after work to help a friend of a friend and, because of this, has a hard time keeping plans. He is very well-intentioned, and I trust him. I have no doubts about our relationship. None of this bothers me. It honestly inspires me to become a better person and help others like Tim does. However, my friends think Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m being strung along, mistreated, overlooked and ignored. Some have met Tim and are charmed by his charisma, personality and sense of humor. Others are bristly when I even bring up his name. It bothers me that my friends canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t just be happy for me. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve always been wildly independent, without a need for a man constantly around, and it truly does not bother me that Tim is busy lending a hand, even if itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s at the expense of our alone time. I guess Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m asking, where is the line between helping someone else and mistreating your girlfriend? Am I tiptoeing on it? Is Tim neglecting me, or are my friends projecting? â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Girlfriend

comfortable in. But then I do have the emotional needs of a cactus and my one dealbreaker is, â&#x20AC;&#x153;must be able to leave me alone for long periods of time.â&#x20AC;? I could seriously see myself with some lab scientist who constantly loses track of time so I could just leave a bagged lunch outside their door. â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Cactus Cactus: I <3 this answer so much it feels like cheating. Is that a heart symbol, by the way, or a double ice cream cone? Re: Tim: I was married to â&#x20AC;&#x153;Tim.â&#x20AC;? My Tim needed to feel needed. Needed to be â&#x20AC;&#x153;the hero,â&#x20AC;? the guy everyone (but I) could count on. Needed for everyone (but me) to see him as â&#x20AC;&#x153;such a great guy.â&#x20AC;? I am also highly independent and didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t need Tim â&#x20AC;&#x201D; wanted him, yes, but needed, no. When my Tim said to me, in front of our marriage counselor, â&#x20AC;&#x153;I married you, what else do you want,â&#x20AC;? I knew we were done. My Tim had some very narcissistic traits. Really examine your Timâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s motives. â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Timâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Ex

Girlfriend: Are you ever on the receiving end of Timâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s big freewheeling acts of generosity? Or are you the dependable uncomplaining source of stability as he freewheels so freely? Regardless, are you thrilled to be the part of Timâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s life he possibly takes for granted as he seeks ... whatever it is he seeks? Donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t ask me how I know to ask this.

Re: Tim: Can you count on Tim to be there, present, for The Big Stuff? When my mother got Alzheimerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s, one of the first things my husband said was, â&#x20AC;&#x153;You know Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve got your back and so have my family.â&#x20AC;? This made me cry. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s one thing for Tim to call saying heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not coming â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;round that night, helping a friend instead. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s another thing if he doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t put you first when the big stuff hits. â&#x20AC;&#x201D; First

Re: Tim: â&#x20AC;&#x153;Dependable uncomplaining source of stabilityâ&#x20AC;? sounds like a role Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d be crazy

Flags in action

Windy day inspires colorful sight Guided by the wind, flags command passersbyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s attention. Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s definitely the case at the Santa Barbara waterfront.

â&#x20AC;&#x153;Cycads are the most threatened group of plants on the planet,â&#x20AC;? Paul Mills, curator of living collections, told the NewsPress as he walked up to a tall cycad. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Some say theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re the most threatened organisms on the plants. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We have five different species of cycads that are believed to be extinct in the wild,â&#x20AC;? Mr. Mills said, noting Lotusland is working with various groups to promote the plantsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; survival. Ms. Anderson praised Mr. Millsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; work of growing cycads to ensure their survival. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve become a breeding ground, if you will, for plants that no longer exist in their wild habitat. Once theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re created and protected here, Paul will share them with institutions across the country.â&#x20AC;? She said Lotusland has more than 3,500 plant species. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s our responsibility to protect and preserve these threatened species.â&#x20AC;? email: dmason@newspress.comÂ

FYI Lotusland is open at the corner of Cold Springs and Sycamore Canyon roads in Montecito. Reservations are required to visit. Call 805-969-9990. For more information, go to www. lotusland.org.

At top, Paul Mills, the curator of living collections, stands in front of a cycad. The plants date back to the age of the dinosaurs. Above, Nicole Evans, the education and community engagement manager, stands next to Euphorbia ingens, a succulent species outside Lotuslandâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s administration building. She said the garden has found ways to educate people during the pandemic.
