Helping those in need is anything but in short supply during this COVID-19 pandemic, and Saturday was another example of that.

Welcome Every Baby Family Connects and Health Linkages, two programs under the nonprofit Children & Family Resource Services offered by the Santa Barbara County Education Office, held a special event Saturday morning at Hope Elementary School to help the district’s transitional kindergarten and kindergarten students.

The event provided families and children with a ton of goodies, including baby supplies, oral health kits, fresh produce, books, and even free dental screenings.

“This went great. The parents were really happy, everything moved along very smoothly and people really didn’t have to wait much at all. I was just talking with one of our nurses and she said the families just really are grateful they really appreciated it,” MaryEllen Rehse, coordinator for Health Linkages, told the News-Press.

Ms. Rehse said it took about two months of planning for the event to come together, as it continued to expand and add new elements.

For example, after getting donations of diapers, the district had the idea of adding the oral health aspect. From there, the event kept growing until Saturday when it all came together.

“It really was a great collaborative effort about two months in the making. We really wanted to make sure we could do it in a safe way and it really just went great,” Ms. Rehse said.

Agencies that helped the event run smoothly included the Foodbank of Santa Barbara County which provided the produce, The Berry Man which provided plants and fruits, and Direct Relief which provided family dental kits.

WEB-FC provided the diapers and sippy cups, while the local oral agency provided floss, toothbrushes, toothpaste, and educational books.

“It’s great that we brought the community together and that we were able to collaborate

with different agencies,” said Jennyffer Rivera, one of the oral health program managers.

Ms. Rivera was one of the key figures in helping all the agencies collaborate for the event. She was pleased with how well everything went and was thrilled to see the educational aspect of teaching the younger kids.

“All the families were grateful and we saw a lot of babies, so a lot of the education is starting young. We’re very happy and pleased and it went well, so we’re hoping to expand this out into other communities and even with more collaboration,” Ms. Rivera said.

According to Ms. Rehse, about 50 families scheduled to show up on Saturday to receive the extra support.

“I know a lot of folks really appreciate the help with the food, and especially diapers

because they are expensive so that’s really a great help to people but it’s been great for us. My whole staff has been excited because with kids not being back in school, we weren’t able to get out there and do our usual dental screenings and other education. We were happy we could find a safe way to do it,” Ms. Rehse said.

One of the more important things they did on Saturday was the dental screenings.

“Being able to have our dental professionals here was really important because a lot of dental clinics, especially for folks who may have Medicare, a lot of those weren’t able to reopen or they reopened at a lower capacity, so a lot of kids aren’t able to get the dental checks they normally would. To make that happen was important,” Ms. Rehse said.

UCSB officially announced its plans for the upcoming fall semester, deciding to offer remote instruction for nearly all undergraduate classes and limiting undergraduate student housing to those with “special circumstances.”

The announcement was made Friday by Chancellor Henry T. Yang in a letter to UCSB’s campus community.

“In order to comply with Santa Barbara County, California Department of Public Health, and University of California guidelines, we have decided to offer nearly all undergraduate fall courses via remote instruction, and to limit our undergraduate student housing for fall quarter to

only those students with special circumstances,” Chancellor Yang wrote. “We recommend that all other undergraduate students stay home to receive remote instruction. Full refunds will be offered to undergraduates for fall housing contracts. These contracts will be honored in winter quarter or whenever we are able to have our undergraduate students move in.”

While acknowledging the decision may be a “great disappointment” for students who hoped to return to the Isla Vista campus next month — notably for first-year and transfer students — the chancellor said the college is looking forward to virtually welcoming students at UCSB’s New Student Convocation on Sept.

Town hall provides update on Platform Holly and Piers 421

Beth Vidmar, left, and Maise Schulman prepare diapers for distribution. The event helped about 50 families, with each of them receiving a slew of goodies including fresh produce, dental kits, educational books, checkups and more.

The city of Goleta, alongside the State Lands Commission, held a virtual town hall on Thursday to provide an update to the community on the status of the decommissioning of Platform Holly and Piers 421.

Jeff Planck, the co-project manager, gave an update on behalf of the SLC, stating that since the last town hall, back in November 2019, 14 wells had their production zone cemented.

However, due to the pandemic, they were forced to shut down operations before they could

finish the last three wells.

“We were forced to shut down in mid-March due to the pandemic.

Shortly thereafter, and believing that the shutdown wouldn’t extend as long as it has, the small fourman crew continued to maintain the equipment and to do some other work in preparation for the restart, using the drilling rig to complete the advancements of all 30 wells,” Mr. Planck explained.

“However, in June, it was decided to cold stack the rig, meaning all the rental and most of the movable equipment would be removed from the platform and the equipment that stayed would Please see goleta on A8

If there’s one thing Santa Barbara County is known for, it is the vast amount of great eateries that can be found.

To further solidify that, San Ysidro Ranch’s The Stonehouse in Montecito earned two distinctive recognitions this past week from two of the most internationally renowned and discerning sources: Michelin and Wine Spectator. “I have been here a little over 10 years and we work really hard to get to where we are right now. It feels good to get these recognitions,� Executive Chef of The Stonehouse Matt Johnson told the News-Press.

Wine Spectator awarded The Stonehouse with the 2020 Grand Award, its top honor for extraordinary wine programs.

This is the seventh consecutive year The Stonehouse earned the award that is only given out to 100 restaurants each year.

As for the Michelin Guide, it recently anointed The Stonehouse as one of just “11 Must-See Outside Meals,� in which they praised the location for its fantastic setting and presentation, wonderful view, and amazing meal course. “For me, it feels amazing and I feel accomplished for all the hard work that everyone I work with has put in, whether it be our general manager or whether it be the owner or my food and beverage director Franco, or my wine director Marcus or my Chef of Cuisine Nate,� Mr. Johnson said. “This just shows how much hard work we put in and to get something back like that is amazing.�

Since the pandemic, Mr. Johnson highlighted that The Stonehouse’s menu selection has been reduced, however he assures that the food they prepare is still of the highest quality.

Asked what he believes sets The Stonehouse apart from other restaurants, Mr. Johnson said the location and their amazing wine cellar, which has been rebuilt after the Montecito debris flow in 2018. “It’s really just that much nicer and we have a constantly changing menu and a great chef garden that allows us to have seasonal vegetables that change with the menu and we have our own bees to prepare our honey,� he said.

Checkups were provided both to children and their families HOPE

Continued from Page A1

KENNETH SONG / NEWS-PRESS

Ava Medina grabs a tool in preparation for a drive-in dental screening.

dread going to the dentist, yearly checkups are important, especially at a young age.

“You forget about your teeth easily, especially when you’re not being constantly reminded, you’re not going to school and you’re not really getting that education. These kinds of events are good to reach out to kids and remind them,” said Kavneet Bhatti, another oral health program manager.

“Plus with all these goodies and incentives and the fun pictures and stuff like that, it gets the kids excited.”

The checkups were done in cars and were provided to both the students and families.

Each person received a regular check-up and then a quick fluoride treatment.

While it was a bit difficult to do it in a car, Ms. Bhatti noted a lot of the kids were more comfortable because they knew they had their parents right there with them.

“Posture wise it was a little tough, but it’s better than nothing for these kids. And it’s nice to see the kids that they’re comfortable with their family right there and they don’t have to leave their comfort zone,” she said.

For Ms. Bhatti, she was also very happy to lend her support and be able to help these families that could use an extra hand.

“It’s nice to be able to finally reach out.

Everyone’s been stuck at home and I feel good giving back because it is my job as a hygienist.

Reminding people that your teeth are important and to come back and get checkups and then remind them that they are cared for and we are here,” Ms. Bhatti said.

She added that many of the families were grateful just to receive the help and she saw plenty of smiles.

“I think it was really good for a pilot. It was really successful. I think there are a couple of things we can fix next time, but it’s not that big of a deal and I think it went really smoothly.

Running this once a month would be great,” Ms. Bhatti said.

With everyone agreeing that Saturday was a

success, the only question now is how to build upon it.

Ms. Rehse is confident the event was a great building block for the future for the families who will continue to need help during, and even after, the pandemic.

“Now that we have our system down, because this was our first drive-through style event, it shouldn’t take us that long to plan.

But we still want to make sure it’s safe before we replicate in different neighborhoods,” Ms. Rehse said.

“This was our first shot and it was somewhat limited by how many dental professionals we had, so my thought was if we can show what we did here today, we can probably have some other dentists and hygienists who are willing to volunteer and then we can make a bigger drive-through with more kids.

“With about 50 cars, this was pretty easy so I’m sure we could ramp up to 100 and maybe even 150.” email: jmercado@newspress.com

Continued from Page A1 “We also acknowledge the weight of our decision for our most vulnerable students and their families,” he said. “And we deeply regret the burden this situation presents for our international students, who will be receiving more information soon from our Office of International Students and Scholars. We remain committed to engaging with all of our students virtually to support their academic progress and personal growth.”

While it remains unclear when the pandemic will end, college officials hope the remote learning this fall will “mitigate the spread of COVID-19 and increase the possibility that we will be able to offer in-person instruction and activities, as well as campus housing, in the winter or spring

quarters,” Chancellor Yang said.

The college has developed a comprehensive COVID-19 mitigation plan that includes mandatory and frequent testing, physical distancing, reduced classroom occupancy and enhanced cleaning, though there have been “a number of factors outside of our control” that led the college to decide to offer remote instruction, the chancellor said.

“After complying with the California Department of Public Health’s COVID-19 requirements for higher education operations, the Santa Barbara County Public Health Department guidelines, and the County’s status on the State COVID-19 watchlist, very little is left of the traditional campus experience for our undergraduate students this fall,” he said.

The college is prevented from offering in-person classroom instruction, except for a few labs

We can provide customized, comprehensive advice and guidance to help you stay on track to pursue your goals. When the world changes, we’re here to help.

or performance courses, and no in-person events are permitted on campus, including fall sports.

Campus study spaces have not received authorization to open, and even if these spaces were to open soon “access is likely to be intermittent and significantly limited,” Chancellor Yang said.

Health guidelines also prohibit visitors and community members who aren’t performing “missioncritical work” from being on campus, with the exception of coastal access areas.

“Our plan for fall quarter has also been influenced by the spike in COVID-19 cases in the neighboring community of Isla Vista, where thousands of our students live,” he said. “This trend is likely to be exacerbated by bringing additional students to the area.”

As of Saturday, 142 cases of COVID-19 had been reported in the community of Isla Vista. Of those, four remained active. One Isla Vista resident has died due to COVID-19, according to the county Public Health Department.

Since the beginning of August, more than 65 cases of COVID-19 have been reported among UCSB students — which represents more than 60% of Isla Vista’s COVID-19 cases since March.

“The relatively high population density of Isla Vista and the crowded conditions in which many students live are contributing factors to this recent surge. We urge all of our students who can to avoid being in Isla Vista for fall quarter,” the chancellor wrote. “We have been carefully monitoring the situation at universities across the country where students have returned to campus. As you no doubt have seen in the national news, many have faced serious COVID-19 outbreaks among their students within days of reopening. As a result, many have been compelled to suspend in-person courses, and in many cases, have abruptly sent students home or asked them to stay home for the remainder of the calendar year.

“UC Santa Barbara faces the same public health challenges involved in bringing large numbers of undergraduate students back to campus.”

UCSB will hold a Student Affairs Summer Webinar from 5 to 6:15 p.m. on Wednesday to share the latest details about the fall plan and information on campus resources.

In the letter, Chancellor Yang said that housing for graduate students, who make up 11% of UCSB’s student body, will remain

open.

The chancellor also touched on the topic of testing and COVID-19 exposure. The college has been using outside labs to analyze test results for students who have come to UCSB’s Student Health Center this summer. UCSB is awaiting Clinical Laboratory Improvement Amendments certification for its newly created campus clinical lab, which has established “the necessary FDA-approved methods that will significantly increase our on-campus testing capacity,” Chancellor Yang said.

“In addition, we have partnered with UC San Francisco and are working to develop a partnership with UCLA’s medical system to provide additional standby resources. We are also seeking FDA approval of our UCSB faculty-developed CRISPR-based COVID-19 test for diagnostic use, which will allow us to further increase our testing capacity. Currently, we plan to use this detection system to conduct surveillance testing to complement our other testing protocols,” he said.

The UCSB health center currently offers diagnostic COVID-19 testing for symptomatic

students and exposed close contacts. All students living in campus housing will be screened with COVID-19 tests upon arrival, with a follow-up test seven to 10 days later. Students in campus housing will also be required to be tested at regular intervals, he said.

Since mid-June, more than 2,100 UCSB researchers have been permitted to work in specialized labs and research facilities on campus, in staggered shifts in an attempt to minimize density. All are adhering to the daily symptom screening requirements and complying with orders pertaining to face coverings, social distancing and cleaning regiments.

“Despite some facilities operating seven days a week, no cases of COVID-19 transmission or infections associated with research activities have been reported,” Chancellor Yang said.

“Given this success, the Ramp-up Oversight Committee is reviewing proposals for 250 additional mission-critical researchers to return to campus, and will be working with the deans and the Office of the Executive Vice Chancellor to develop protocols for other campus buildings and office space to be utilized in the

With the fall quarter fast approaching, Chancellor Yang said, “we are heartbroken that (the campus) will not be filled with the excitement and anticipation of a new academic year. But we hope the sacrifices we make now will have long-term benefits for our campus community and for our families.”

Though students may feel a remote quarter or remote year “feels like a tremendous loss,” the chancellor said “the journey we are on together is not bound by time or by the borders of our beautiful campus.”

“It extends far beyond four years for our undergraduates, and hopefully throughout the careers of our graduate students, faculty, and staff,” he said. “As always, you are in our hearts and thoughts.

We anxiously await the day when we all can be together again in the classroom and on our campus.

“We remain wholly committed to our academic journey together, and to the educational, research, and service mission of our University.”

Toil and trouble in the NBA bubble L as Vegas is calling it a sure bet: Los Angeles Lakers vs. Milwaukee Bucks for next month’s NBA championship.

Oddsmakers say the Clippers still could cross things up for the cross-town Lakers. The smart money, however, remains on a final that pits NBA headliner LeBron James against Giannis Antetokounmpo, the worst nightmare for any headline writer.

But that was before the Greek Freak & Friends announced that the Bucks stop here.

Last Sunday’s racially charged, police shooting in Kenosha, Wisc., prompted Milwaukee to boycott Wednesday’s playoff game against Orlando. It became the first act of a Shakespearean drama that played out with a leaguewide walkout inside the NBA’s Floridian bubble.

All bets are off now that there’s double trouble for those who toil in the bubble.

Basketball isn’t just a game of speed, strength and skill. It also gets pumped up by emotion. And there was enough of it last week to bring the bubble close to bursting.

James, who’s been reaching for his fourth NBA ring this year, was about to thumb his nose at the rest of the season on Wednesday. He reportedly walked out of a players meeting that night when the Bucks, who had blindsided the other teams with their impromptu boycott, wanted to return to the court without any plan of action.

The Laker star was in no mood for a reverse pivot after watching a video of Jacob Blake getting shot in the back seven times. “We are scared as black people in America,� he said. “Black men, black women, black kids, we are terrified.�

Basketball Hall of Famer Jamaal Wilkes, a former Santa Barbara High star, experienced it first-hand soon after the completion of his own NBA career. The Los Angeles Police Department pulled him over

in the Wilshire District of Los Angeles and handcuffed him just three months before the March 3, 1991 beating of Rodney King. “Standing there handcuffed, I felt like a common thug,� Wilkes said. “What hurt me the most was that I was on their side.

I’ve always been a supporter of law enforcement. But their treatment of me was arrogant and distasteful. It was disturbing. “I work as hard and honestly as any American. I try to do everything by the rules. I cooperated with the officers. They acted like I was dangerous.�

He was told that he’d been stopped for having expired registration tags. “That wasn’t the case,� Wilkes said. “The way they handled things, it could have gotten ugly. If I got angry and said, ‘Why are you doing this?’ it might have started something. “I realized how easily police brutality could happen. It made me more sympathetic toward the common guy who isn’t famous and gets in a situation like that.�

He declined to follow up on his complaint despite getting “deluged� by the media. “I felt I’d made my point,� he explained. “I wanted to get back to business. By then the Rodney King affair was well along.�

Wilkes did take part recently in a Black Lives Matter video with the UCSB basketball team.

It has been airing all month as a public service advertisement on KEYT NewsChannel 3, KCOY NewsChannel 12 and KKFX Fox 11.

Both the Lakers — Wilkes’ former team — and Clippers took informal votes on Wednesday night to pull out of the NBA playoffs. That would have turned the Bucks, ironically enough, into a sure thing for the ring.

But Oklahoma City guard Chris Paul, president of the National Basketball Players Association, brought the players back together the next day. All they needed, he said, was enough time to process the situation and consider the best way to advocate social justice reform. “The shootings that continue to happen, it creates a lot of unrest‌ a whole lot of unrest,â€? Paul said. “For us, to have a predominantly African American league, to see our black brothers being shot and killed on a daily basis, it just

doesn’t make a lot of sense to us. “Everyone expects us to go out and play. I get it. But we needed some time. All of us.�

James used the time to seek the advice of No. 44 — Barack Obama, that is, and not Jerry West. The former president said the players should detail their demands to the

NBA before resuming play.

They voted to return to the court on Saturday after the NBA agreed to several conditions, including the formation of a social action committee.

Team owners also agreed to convert the arenas in their home markets into voting facilities for

the November election, while also creating advertisements that encourage voter turnout.

And therein lies perhaps the biggest irony in all this craziness: The arenas that were closed to the players by the COVID-19 pandemic will be reopened for a quite different form of competition.

But at least it’s a sure bet who’ll be matched up in that final.

gUEST OPINION

While many drown, others drivel on!

A

regional collaborative organization known as REACH is trying to fill the billion dollar-plus hole that will be left in our regional economy due to the impending closure of the Diablo Canyon nuclear power plant.

REACH is putting a lot of eggs in the Vandenberg Air Force Base basket, hoping that the multitrillion dollar space industry will save our regional economy from oblivion.

One potential problem with this plan is whether or not a new private commercial space complex located on VAFB property will be subject to the regulatory and permitting authority of the federal government, or alternatively, the deadly juggernaut involving the county planning and development dept, the air pollution control district and the dastardly California Coastal Commission.

A few of the highlights of the report include the fact that Central Coast residents are losing hope in the American Dream.

That is, more than half of the residents on the Central Coast want to move. How bad is our economy? One in four middle-

class residents must borrow to at risk of squeezing out the middle cover a $500 emergency. class- our young professionals, REACH presented additional school teachers, police officers, statistics to the Board of health care workers, and families.

Statistics such “As a result, the area’s prized as: two out of three jobs in the quality of life increasingly region pay less than $50,000 a becomes unsustainable or year; more than half of Central outright unattainable for far too Coast jobs are considered low many residents.

The report summarizes the How many times will we need same as follows: “The picture to hear this same information and is sobering. Our region is fast prescription for a healthy regional becoming a place of have and community and economy? Things have-nots, attractive only to will never change unless and until visitors and wealthy retirees and the “haves” in our region realize

that economic growth is not a zero-sum game.

Finally, I don’t disagree with any of the analysis provided

by REACH except that the recommendations don’t go far enough, in that the shoes they are selling don’t quite fit our feet!

What do I mean by that?

The plan to create high-tech jobs will certainly help some in our community. However, tens of thousands of locals will never qualify for those jobs.

They need good old-fashioned blue- collar manufacturing and industry jobs, the very type jobs California in general, and Santa Barbara County in particular, has indicated time and time again, are not welcome here.

In fact, these jobs have been driven out of our country, state and county in droves, while activists in power, such as those associated with the Environmental Defense Center, drivel on and celebrate.

Census is about community, not politics

t’s been said that all things are political.

But in the case of the U.S. Census, it isn’t about party lines. It’s about county lines — the ones surrounding our Santa Barbara community.

Your participation in the census is actually a vote for our community to ensure we get our fair share of federal funding that is based on population.

The deadline to be counted in the 2020 Census is just weeks away on Sept. 30, and its importance to Santa Barbara County cannot be overstated. The census is crucial, and impacts everyone who lives here.

• Are you concerned about the local response to the COVID-19 pandemic?

• How is our county’s emergency response to wildfires, floods and earthquakes supported financially?

• What could happen to programs for our community’s seniors, children, underprivileged and disabled?

• How about funding for libraries, road repairs and community development?

I grew up in Santa Barbara and went to local schools, Santa Barbara City College and UCSB. The census count impacts all of

them. our neighbors, family, friends and As a parent, I worry about how coworkers take this responsibility to support our schools and to get seriously. The census is a oncethe teachers the resources they in-a-decade opportunity to help need to be effective.

I see the state and local government challenges to find new sources of districts. When you are counted, funding. your voice will be represented.

Let’s be clear, everyone counts 2020 has been a difficult year for during the census, and we must our county, state and the nation all do our part to help ensure that amidst the global pandemic.

However, we can’t lose sight of our future by choosing not to participate in 2020 census by Sept.

30.

Ten years ago, no one could have imagined that the accuracy of that census would impact the resources to our hospitals and clinics for us to locally combat and recover from this pandemic.

If we are undercounted, we lose resources for when we need them the most.

Each of us has it within our power to ensure Santa Barbara County gets what we need to come out stronger and better prepared in the future.

Let’s make it count.

letters to the news-press It’s time for reopenings

A

recent edition of the News Press presented “to date,� numbers on the pandemic that has closed everything for seven months. At this time, many things are still closed, and we are still fearful of the virus that we have been told about. But in seven months, we have learned much about this new disease.  Total cases in the county are 7,454. Total recoveries are 7,096 or a 95% recovery rate. Of the 425,000 persons in Santa Barbara County, only 7,454 have had the virus, and that is only 1.75% of the total population.

There have been 80 deaths or .02% of the population. From this published data, one can see that the COVID-19 has had a very small impact on the county.  One wonders why we have not opened up everything? Well, if we did, we are told that there would be more cases. If the cases doubled by doing this, the total effect would be 3.25% and .04% by extrapolation. These are still small numbers compared to the total population.

But in seven months, we have learned much about controlling the virus and helping those with the virus to recover. We have trained doctors and nurses and hospital wards devoted to the virus recovery and as many ventilators, as needed. Studies show that children are not carriers of the virus as much as adults. And adults know how to protect themselves with masks, distance and cleaning. So why do we not step out and end the shutdown when we know the small effect?

We have to ask the county supervisors and their minions. All this is a tradeoff of diseases, but there are more side effects to the shutdowns that outweigh the small overall effect. These should be considered more importantly than continuously to shut it all down. Many other events happen that outweigh the overall effect of this virus. This is a medical issue

not a political one. The risks are small, but when we open up, we will learn more and know how to solve this national problem. As an 86-year-old senior, I am aware of the risks to seniors, and stay out of direct contact, but for the others, the numbers above show the reasonable route for the younger citizens. Let’s end the lockdowns with these facts as guides. If we hesitate, and believe that COVID19 will disappear, it may never happen, as we see with the flu virus that shows up every year and we have to take a new vaccine for the new strain.

More people have been affected by the flu virus than COVID-19 and more have died from it. So let’s not continue to refuse to act from fear but to act to end the pandemic.

The same situation exists for the state of California. The numbers are small relative to the state population and need to be used as our future guidelines in opening up the state at all levels.  Justin M. Ruhge Lompoc scientist and engineer.

Editor’s note: The letter was submitted before the latest COVID19 numbers for Santa Barbara County. You’ll find the latest numbers in Tuesday’s News-Press.

President Trump alone remains composed

A

mid the turbulence and endless procession of daily crisis, President Trump alone seems to understand, retaining the ability to prioritize. He hasn’t wobbled, or lost his composure, judgment or nerve.

What needs to be acknowledged is that these conflicts of culture and politics, with policy with regards to China, are a form of total warfare, economic, informational and global. Should the Democrats capture the presidency in November, it’s game over, and therein lies Mr. Trump’s

real genius, his five o’clock in the morning, half-dressed, cold courage. Like some Civil War general standing unrattled before the unexpected, enemy assault, he remains the executive in charge, calmly able to evaluate and assess.

He never lost his balance while inferiors jerked and twitched. This battle is for the homeland, and that means this battle is essentially and primarily political. Mr. Trump will commit his resources on that basis, as befitting and appropriate to a political struggle. When all around him others are losing their heads nightly in televised monologues and editorials, these talking heads and analysts, Mr. Trump alone remains composed, the commander-in-chief, the man in charge. He has kept his head and his own counsel too. While inferiors such as John Bolton engage in back biting, Mr. Trump remains focused on strategy refusing to overreact, or to act prematurely.

Soon he will demonstrate complete control and mastery.

Peek under the edges, and you can see his strategy beginning to emerge. Leaders lead best, which is to say most effectively, when the people demand their participation, literally forcing them into the forefront of the fray.

Leaders respond to the demands of the people. That’s the essence of a proper strategy befitting a political struggle, and not to be confused with a hurried, tactical response of a man being chased by events.

Mr. Trump has kept his powder dry, his reserves ready. Do the vast majority of citizens truly wish to dismantle this vehicle of freedom and prosperity we call America? Would any of us besides the radical, fringe left and the corporate, globalist traitors, garbed in their overhyped, new world paradigms, prefer China to become the leading, dominant global power?

It was these same high-tech globalist prophets, remember, who first sold out America and the American middle classes. Â

Caesar, you will recall, was thrice offered the crown by the Senate. While Mr. Trump is no Caesar and no public body holds a crown to bestow, it is the people who will authorize his continuance in November. The lawless anarchy will be contained and prosecuted at the proper time and in an appropriate manner.

It is the Democrats who have conspired to allow this reign of terror. It was the Democrats’ responsibility to stop it. It now falls to the people who cemented them in office to review the terms of their political allegiances. If in fact, these are the turbulent conditions they wish to adopt and accept, they have certainly procured them. They and the Democrats they elected are certainly secure in the rampant thuggery, political incompetence and vile corruption. It was Mr. Trump who overperformed during the pandemic’s worst moments.

Democrats Cuomo and Newsom killed tens of thousands of their most vulnerable citizens through their own gross incompetence and negligence. It is Mr. Trump who

will finally restore the order and the economy that the Democratic Party’s mayors and governors continue to seek to destroy. In November, the American people will speak, and Donald Trump will have his victory. We shall have the next four years to see what he will do with it.Â

critical times: elections, bad behavior by various races against others, etc. It is a tool to be used for division. We have the black race, white race, Asian race, Hispanic race; all available to make their point. The one race nobody ever talks about is the Human Race — my favorite. Look past the color and see the human. Acts of violence and stupidity are committed by humans for their own interests. We need to lift up our humanity, obey our laws and make faith and family more prevalent.

George Floyd is a misused martyr, particularly as numerous members of his own community, including babies and children, were murdered. Each of us must ask ourselves, “How do we respond?�

Personally, I try to “disarmâ€? each individual I encounter with a smile and a cheerful greeting. I have never met a person I didn’t like. “Familiarity breeds contemptâ€? or compassion. Choose compassion. Peace!Â

Estimate: 12-18 months for Platform Holly decommissioning once work resumes goleta

Continued from Page A1 be secured and shrink wrapped or have corrosion inhibitor placed in the vessels, or tanks to prevent degradation in the marine environment.”

The decision to cold stack the rig had multiple factors, including the number of people needed to operate the machinery, while the lack of physical space for social distancing made it difficult.

The cost of having to upkeep everything played a factor as well.

“Once the realization that the pandemic requirements could easily last another six to 12 months, the decision was made to do the cold stack and to leave the platform,” Mr. Planck said.

On July 26, the cold stack effort was complete and all personnel left the platform. According to Mr. Planck, “the Commission and their contractor Beacon West energy will continue to staff the platform with a reduced crew to maintain security to monitor the wells and to maintain the equipment left behind.”

All wells have been secured and shut in during this stoppage and there are no fluid wells on the platform.

He added that once decommissioning work starts up again on Platform Holly, which he expects in another few months, it should take another 12 to 18 months to fully abandon all the wells.

Additionally, no operations

have occurred at the Ellwood onshore facility, besides the addition of an emergency generator.

There was also an update on the preliminary work being done to decommission the Piers 421 onshore piers. There will be a test for the removal of the soil, which will take place Monday.

“The soil removal test will begin with clearing the overgrown vegetation on the access road to allow for the equipment to be placed in and around Piers 421 number two,” Mr. Planck said.

“The test will use a method developed by the Hydro-X (Water Treatment) company, which uses high-pressure water to loosen and semi-liquefy the soil, which is then removed by a suction hose into a containment vessel.

“Once that vessel is full of fluid and soil, it is transferred to a container, then, to be hauled off site. The method has been proven successful at the Aliso Canyon gas field restoration.”

If successful, this method would be a lot more useful for the companies, as it would not rely on heavy and expensive machinery and would help with the next step which is the environmental review.

A full video of the meeting can be found at www.CityofGoleta. org/GoletaMeetings. To sign up and receive information as the project progresses, go to www. slc.ca.gov, use the E-Lists menu and subscribe to the Platform Holly/South Ellwood update. email: jmercado@newspress.com

San Ysidro Ranch restaurant also recently received five-star recognition from Forbes RESTAURANT

Continued from Page A3

Ranch team for a little over 10 years, Mr. Johnson has had a lot to be proud of, especially with The Stonehouse.

He noted that these recent recognitions, along with the fivestar recognition they received from Forbes, are among his greatest memories during his tenure.

“I mean, we’ve done so much, we’ve been through so much here, so many different events and things that I think this recognition that we just achieved is probably one of the highest moments (I can think of),” Mr. Johnson said.

In his career, he has unfortunately seen his fair share of struggles. In fact, he remembers the Montecito debris flow and the destruction it caused, including the tearing down of the San Ysidro Ranch.

“It seems like a lot has happened the last two years with the fires, the mudslides, and now the pandemic, but we try to move it as best as we can,” Mr. Johnson said.

“We were in utter shock when it first happened, and I can’t put that into words, but it was beautiful to see when it got rebuilt to actually come back on the property, but I still just felt so bad for all the

people that suffered through it and us as a county.”

With the current pandemic, Mr. Johnson acknowledged that it has been tough, but he is incredibly proud of his team and their continued hard work.

“We have a ton of pride every day. We work really, really hard, and with teamwork. We all just come together and work as a team, whether it be at the front desk or the banquets or anywhere,” he said. “It’s tough but we just take it in stride and we follow all the protocols and do the best that we can and make sure guests are happy.

“To be able to achieve the level of service we have come to expect even during this pandemic was tough, but it says a lot about everyone.”

While the recognitions have been welcomed, for Mr. Johnson and his staff and the people over at San Ysidro Ranch, the true reward is the smiles they put on people’s faces.

“It’s not a goal to win these awards, but it is always nice to achieve. Our goal is to make every single person that comes through here happy and leaving with a great experience,” Mr. Johnson said. “All these other things are the chocolate on top.” email: jmercado@newspress.com

REIF, Jocelan G. Rainey

Jocelan G. Rainey Reif, 90, Born May 29, 1930 in Detroit, Michigan to Wanda Voss and Edward Hammerberg. Her given name was Patricia Ann Hammerberg. She became a professional ballerina at age 16 and later became a professional opera singer with the National Opera Company. Jocelan’s career included being a singing and dancing actress on Broadway. Jocelan toured the East Coast and Europe as a folk singer even performing for The British Royal Family. One of her hobbies included creating beautiful oil paintings on canvas. Jocelan moved to Santa Barbara where she met her husband Donald Reif in 1998. Jocelan passed away peacefully at home with her husband and stepdaughter, Kristin Reif Shi, at her side on August 4, 2020.

A small memorial with close friends and family will held.

JUNGJOHANN, Norma Mother. Artist. Teacher.

With heavy hearts we have to announce the passing of our mother Norma Jungjohann, born Wagner.

She passed away August 19th in Dusseldorf, Germany after a courageous battle with an illness which could not be beat in the end. We would like to thank all the doctors and caregivers who prolonged Moms life the longest time possible.

Mom was born in Los Angeles in 1938 into two immigrant families, German and Italian. After attending High School in Vista, Ca she studied art at UCSB.

STEPHEN, Karen Langley

She lived in Germany almost half of her life and maintained close ties to her Italian family both in the US and in Fornace, Northern Italy.

Spirited. Sophisticated. Scrappy. Just a few words used by family and friends to describe the incomparable Karen Langley Stephen who passed from this life too soon on August 3, 2020 at her home in the Santa Ynez Valley, surrounded by friends and her beloved husband, Jon Stephen. Born right before a new moon, she left us just after a full one.

She returned to the US to live in Santa Barbara after the passing of her husband, Dr. Eugen Jungjohann.

Karen was born June 9, 1945 in San Francisco. She and her younger brother Mike were abandoned as very small children and shuffled through countless foster homes until she was seven. Her lifelong fighting spirit was revealed at this tender young age as she fought tooth and nail against separation from her brother. It was through sheer will and determination that they were eventually adopted together and then raised in La Canada, California.

She later lost her adored brother to AIDS and then cared for her adoptive mother Peggy through Alzheimer’s until her death in 1995.

After retiring from a career in commercial advertising, Karen moved to the Santa Ynez Valley in 1991 and purchased the historic Old Trout Farm, using her amazing creativity to transform it into the magical treasure it is today. Over the years, her vast array of friends have enjoyed wreath parties, barbecues, dinner parties (one of which turned out to be her surprise wedding to Jon), and social gatherings disguised as meetings at her and Jon’s charming, quaint farm. Holidays were marked with Karen’s boundless enthusiasm, most notably Thanksgiving and Christmas when her exceptional decorating talents gave the celebrations a special touch.

Not long after arriving in the Santa Ynez Valley, Karen launched her Critter Sitter business, but soon became restless for another challenge and before long was the owner/ operator of Side Street Café in Los Olivos, which she ran for several years.

In 1993, Karen’s son and only child, Jeff Langley, a Firefighter/Paramedic for the Los Angeles County Fire Department Air Ops, died tragically in a work-related accident. He was 28 years old, brave, tough, kind and caring, just like his mom. A single mother to Jeff, Karen somehow managed to dig deep to find healing and a way forward from the greatest loss a person can experience. She became an active and resolute advocate for firefighter safety and recognition. The Higgins-Langley Memorial Award, which honors the best in Swiftwater Rescue, of which Jeff was a pioneer, was established the year he died.

Karen met the love of her life, Jon Stephen, in 1996. From day one, it was clear they were soul mates. She affectionately called him “cowboy.” Jon’s wry, dry humor and calm, steady nature was in contrast to Karen’s lively and animated always-on-the-go spirited energy. Their 24 years together were chock-full of everything from horse rides to car shows to Sunday drives in their ‘40s Chevy to spending lots of time with family and friends and caring for their menagerie of animals on the farm.

Karen was a gourmet cook and a marvel with home decor, “rustic elegance” being her design trademark. She authored Three Little Words to Live By, a gem of a book in which she shared “positive messages and simple life lessons,” all inspired by her efforts as a single, working mom to communicate more effectively with her young son who had “the attention span of a gnat.” Her efforts were successful. Three of the messages in that book also reflect Karen’s approach to living: “forget your age,” “utilize your talents,” and “make a difference.”

Karen shared many happy hours with her riding and camping friends and was an active member of many equestrian organizations. She was a Filly from 1994-2017, serving as president in 2003 and 2004. She became a member of the Sage Hens in 2003, and also found time to be a member in the Saddle Skirts from 2006 on. Her Hen Pen was the hub of socializing on rides where friends were treated to Karen’s animated conversations, her wonderful munchies, and even Jon’s special, yet dangerous Lemon Drop Martinis.

Another one of Karen’s trademarks was her knack for creating a magnum opus out of the shortest story, her mind being sharp and quick and so detailed-oriented that the segues could be endless.

Karen was authentically and lovingly a valued friend to countless people. She was a horse lover and proactively inquisitive about all things mystical. She was a dedicated liberal who had warm and genuine friendships with archconservatives, and many others of diametrically opposed political and spiritual views to her own. She embraced everyone and discriminated against no one.

She was one of those rare people who, despite an immensely challenging start in life, managed to overcome obstacles and rise up as an empathetic and empowering champion of others. Although small in stature (five feet and a quarter inch, she claimed), her spirit was huge. An article in the Santa Ynez Valley Magazine once aptly described her as “a petite powerhouse with quicksilver wit.” Karen embodied a marvelous combination of fierceness and kindness. She was an impassioned cheerleader and advocate for friends and family. If she believed you had an unfulfilled talent, she would relentlessly encourage and support you.

Karen is survived by her husband Jon and stepchildren Travis, Garrett and Ashley, and their young children, in addition to beloved critters Meg, KC, Pecos, and Rosey, among others. Her myriad of friends, from all walks of life, are blessed to have had such a treasured and unparalleled friend in Karen. They will be forever touched by her generosity, warmth, honesty, sense of humor and luminous spirit. May Karen’s journey forward be filled with the love and light that she spread with panache and grace during her time here.

We love you, Karen, and miss you beyond measure.

She gave tours for the Santa Barbara Historical Museum for many years and volunteered for the Red Cross Santa Barbara.

We will miss her strength, her humor. We will miss her astonishing knowledge; she was an encyclopedia in anything regarding art and history.

Mom was a teacher all her life. She felt inspired and most alive when being able to convey information about a variety of subjects, she changed peoples lives by suggesting an interest into a subject and people would make that their line of work.

She was a beacon for her grandkids Gregor, Marlon and Alana. They are who they are today not to a little part because of our Mom. Rest in Peace, Mom. We love you and you will always stay alive in our hearts.

Karin, Mia and Mark, Gregor, Marlon and Alana, Julia and Ingo and Frank Wagner Santa Barbara and Dusseldorf, Germany

Women of Santa Barbara reflect on suffrage history

By GRAYCE MCCORMICK NEWS-PRESS CORRESPONDENT

I

t’s been a little over a century since the 72-year struggle of women’s blood, sweat and tears paid off.

Seventy-two years during which women were not considered equals, were not included, were not heard.

Seventy-two years of fighting, simply to be able to participate.

The movement began in 1848 with the Seneca Falls Convention in New York state.

Seventy-two years later, on Aug. 18, 1920, Tennessee became the 36th state to ratify the 19th Amendment, allowing women the right to vote. California was the 18th state to ratify the amendment on Nov. 1, 1919.

As women and men alike reflect on this centennial with 21st-century morals and ideals, questions of history, democracy, diversity and inclusion surface, especially as the U.S. approaches its election season.

Vijaya Jammalamadaka is the president of the League of Women Voters of Santa Barbara. She’s an immigrant from India and said that it’s important to commemorate the centennial while acknowledging the shortcomings.

“We speak with one voice, and we acknowledge that not all women got the right to vote,” she told the NewsPress. “We take that very seriously.”

The League of Women Voters of Santa Barbara was founded by the leaders of the suffrage movement just six months before the ratification of the 19th Amendment.

The organization promotes political responsibility and encourages active participation by educating voters.

“We stand on the shoulders of the women who fought for this,” Ms. Jammalamadaka said. “We should always remember that these things are not easy. It’s not easy to get a constitutional amendment. It took a lot of work on the part of the suffragists of all colors who worked on this.”

She said the League works to ensure black suffragists such as Sojourner Truth, Mary Church Terrell and Ida B. Wells have their place in history equally as prominent as that of white suffrage leaders such as Susan B. Anthony, Alice Paul and Elizabeth Caty Stanton.

“We’re looking forward to the next 100 years to be quite different from the last 100 years,” the league president said. “We’re going to be including more diversity, equity and inclusion.”

Eileen Boris is a UCSB professor in the Department of Feminist Studies, specifically teaching history, black studies and global studies. She told the News-Press she believes centennials are always a time for reflection and selfreflection.

“I thought about how fortunate I am to be born in the mid-century United States to be an eyewitness to the continual expansion of democratic participation and the Please see SUFFRAGE on B4

The League of Women Voters of Santa Barbara aims to educate voters and encourage participation. The organization praised the centennial of the 19th Amendment, but reminded women to remember who was actually included when the amendment was ratified.

HOROSCOPE

CODEWORD PUZZLE

ARIES â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Although the week may get off to a difficult start, there is also the chance of some exciting meetings and romantic opportunities that can boost your mood.

TAURUS â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Is there something that needs to be discussed? If you need to talk about a key issue with someone, know that they might be resistant at first.

GEMINI â&#x20AC;&#x201D; The start of the week could find you holding a grudge or wondering about someoneâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s actions, and this could leave you seething unless youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re willing to talk.

CANCER â&#x20AC;&#x201D; This week your sector of talk and thought looks to be busy with all kinds of opportunities opening up for you.

Taking in new knowledge and ideas will work well for you.

LEO â&#x20AC;&#x201D; You might want to look at how you can enhance your income this week. This could involve taking on jobs or contracts that are better suited to your current needs.

VIRGO â&#x20AC;&#x201D; The focus on your sign this week means that itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s time to celebrate yourself and believe in yourself. Indulge your needs and whims, LIBRA â&#x20AC;&#x201D; This week there could be conflict with family members concerning your career. Are you being realistic about what you hope to achieve? It may be worth listening to them.

SCORPIO â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Do you need to cut the red tape out of a current plan or project?

This could be what is preventing you from making progress. If there is a way to simplify things, then doing so could leave you much less stressed.

SAGITTARIUS â&#x20AC;&#x201D; You may feel strapped for cash early in the week, particularly if you want to enjoy a new experience or invest in learning a new hobby or skill. The trick may be to start small and take baby steps.

CAPRICORN â&#x20AC;&#x201D; There could be some resistance to an idea that your family is eager to implement. Some reflection and a willingness to see things from their perspective could bring about a change of heart.

AQUARIUS â&#x20AC;&#x201D; This week is a good time to get organized and make key adjustments.

Looking into the details can assist you in making wise decisions.

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

SOLUTION ON D3

Every number in the codeword grid is â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;codeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; for a letter of the alphabet. Thus the number 2 may correspond to the letter L, for instance.

All puzzles come with a few letters to start you off. Your first move should be to enter these letters in the puzzle grid. If the letter S is in the box at the bottom of the page underneath the number 2, your first move should be to find all cells numbered 2 in the grid and enter the letter S. Cross the letter S off the list at the bottom of the grid.

Remember that at the end you should have a different letter of the alphabet in each of the numbered boxes 1 - 26, and a word in English in each of the horizontal and vertical runs on the codeword grid.

PUZZLES

Husbandâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s affair could be more about money

D

ear Abby: I am 68 and my husband is 80. I just found out he is involved with a 40-year-old woman. He says it is not an affair because they havenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t actually had sex! I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t know what to do. Can you help me? â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Heartbroken in New Mexico Dear Heartbroken: Your husband may not be having an affair in the physical sense, but he IS having an emotional affair. He may be flattered by the attention heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s receiving from a younger woman, or he may think heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s actually in love with her. Whether she is in love with HIM is open to question.

However, if your husband is giving her money, you might have an Abigail argument that Van Buren he is being manipulated into it, which could qualify as elder abuse.

Remember, too, if you are a longtime wife in a community property state, half of the assets acquired during your marriage are yours. If he doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t agree to end the relationship, this is something you might want to discuss with a lawyer.

Dear Abby: My 7-year-old daughter, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Jessie,â&#x20AC;? has a best friend who lives next door.

The neighbor, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Laurie,â&#x20AC;? has an older brother, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Jason,â&#x20AC;? who is 13.

Recently, Jessie played at Laurieâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s house, and when she came home she told me Jason had said some nasty things to her. When I asked what they were, she told me that one time Jason told her to pull down her underwear, and another time he told her to pull down his pants and do something that canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t be mentioned in a family newspaper.

When I heard it, I was livid.

I told his mother about it, and now she will not let my daughter play with Laurie. She believes Jessie made it all up.

My daughter is inconsolable because she no longer has a playmate. She believes it is her fault that Laurie canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t play with her because she told me. I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t know what to do so the girls can play together. â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Needs a Playmate Dear Needs: It is important that you make Jessie understand that none of this was her fault â&#x20AC;&#x201D; it was Jasonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s fault â&#x20AC;&#x201D; and that she did the right thing by telling you. What you need to do now is help your daughter find other playmates, preferably some whose parents supervise when children play in their home.

While Jasonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s mother may not want to believe what her son did, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s highly unlikely your daughter made it up.

Dealing with a problem like that by putting her head in the sand will only invite more trouble, because Jason is sure to repeat it with some other little girl.

Dear Abby: Today I called my church to cancel my attendance at a retreat a month from now. I had paid $25 to hold my spot. When I stated my reason for calling, the church secretary said, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Do you want a refund or would you like to donate toward tithes?â&#x20AC;?

I thought this was nervy. I told her to refund the money. What is your thought on this? â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Wants a Refund in Brentwood Dear Wants: Just this: You were offered an option, and you chose the one you preferred. Let it go.

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

Should she dump â&#x20AC;&#x153; fair-weather friendsâ&#x20AC;??

D

ear Carolyn: Over the past year I was diagnosed and hospitalized for a serious and life-threatening illness. I have been struggling mightily since then with severe depression, survived a drug overdose, am in the process of getting divorced from my husband of many years, lost a cherished pet to illness, and have had to sell my house.

In the process, I found out that my social network was seriously lacking in the true-friendship department.

Of the â&#x20AC;&#x153;closeâ&#x20AC;? friends I told about my illness, not a single one remained in contact with me throughout my ordeal, and some were downright rude and insensitive. All of them know not only about the hospitalization but also my pending divorce.

I am in the process of moving and trying to start fresh. I have no intention of sending these people my new contact details. Now some of them have begun to contact me â&#x20AC;&#x201D; nearly a year after the fact â&#x20AC;&#x201D; asking me how Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m doing and saying theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re â&#x20AC;&#x153;concerned.â&#x20AC;? One of the worst offenders left a message on my voicemail at work today saying sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s sorry she hasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t been in contact (since last fall), but that a lot has been going on and that she was procrastinating (!). She informed me sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d email me â&#x20AC;&#x153;soon.â&#x20AC;?

My instinct is simply not to respond. I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t even feel I can trust them enough to tell them how painful it was to realize I had no one there to help me. Do I have any obligation to formally cut things off with them? â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Looking for More Than Fair-Weather Friends Looking for More Than Fair-Weather Friends: After years and years of advising people to talk (and talk), itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s refreshing to say: No. You have no obligation to respond, at least not to a voicemail so thoughtless and noncommittal.

TONIGHT

If any of these friends proves to be remorseful and, maybe even more important, persistent, you might find it rewarding to respond; at worst youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll get the satisfaction of being heard, and at best youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll relaunch a good friendship. But short of that, please do give yourself the small satisfaction of washing your hands of them all.

Dear Carolyn: I am currently struggling with the if-we-get-married-I-comefirst issue. I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t mean to say at the exclusion of his family, but right now I am very firmly not first, and it makes me hesitant to commit. How do we get past this? â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Detroit Detroit: â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;? donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t get past this, you do, by getting past the idea that waiting around for people to change (be it silently, articulately, needily or footstompingly) is the way to initiate

change.

Marrying them doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t work, either.

Ultimatums are another change-motivator you want to avoid. If threats are the only way to get the attention you want, youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re not really getting the attention you want.

The internal ultimatum, on the other hand, is not only effective, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s also essential. Unless youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re willing to leave â&#x20AC;&#x201D; unless you can say to yourself, â&#x20AC;&#x153;or else,â&#x20AC;? and mean it â&#x20AC;&#x201D; you will never have the power to improve your circumstances.

So. State aloud what you (reasonably) need from someone to be happy; allow that person (reasonable) time to start providing it; and if your needs continue not to be met, then accept they never will be. Then decide whether youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll stay or go.

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

willingness of people to put their bodies on the line for the provision of democracy and community,” she said. “There were women who dared to speak in public, to go against the norms, to demand and to practice public participation.”

She also pointed out the disproportionate population of women who actually got to vote after the ratification.

“We say that women got the vote in 1920, but in fact, many women didn’t get to vote,” Dr. Boris said. “In 1920, in the South in particular, the poll tax and literacy tests primarily excluded African-American women and some poor white women.”

It would be decades later before Congress passed the Voting Rights Act of 1965 to prohibit racial discrimination.

Dr. Boris mentioned an essay in which she argued that an intersectional feminism that considers all the social factors of identity such as race, gender, social class, ability, religion and etc., has developed through social movements such as Black Lives Matter, reproductive justice and women’s health.

“In the struggle, the bonds of sisterhood and friendship really propelled women forward in the first suffrage movement,” the professor said. “The women’s

suffrage movement, in both its militant wing and its more constitutional wing, pioneered advertising. Wearing banners and sashes because it wasn’t considered ‘ladylike’... They really were pioneering political action, and you’re seeing that today as well with new social media.”

Leila Rupp is the acting dean of the graduate division and a professor of Feminist Studies at UCSB. She said in considering the centennial, she begged the question, “Should we celebrate?”

“From the time I turned eligible to vote, I’ve always voted and thought about suffrage when I did it. I never take it for granted,” she told the News-Press. “I think this centennial has a lot of issues. It’s a reminder that passage didn’t mean all women could vote, that even though there were lots of different races and ethnicities of women involved in the suffrage movement, it was white women who benefited. There was a lot else that had to happen.”

However, she said activists learned a lot from the suffragists, including strategies and tactics such as marching in the streets and picketing.

“This was a big move that enfranchised a big group of women, and that led the way to all sorts of things,” Dr. Rupp said. “There’s a history we are not proud of, but there’s also a lot to celebrate.”

The League of Women Voters of Santa Barbara is a nonpartisan organization that educates women on the steps they need to take to not just vote but have their voices heard in other ways.

View from the station

At left, Eileen Boris, a UCSB professor in the Department of Feminist Studies teaching history, black studies and global studies, said she feels fortunate to be able to have a voice as a result of women’s suffrage. However, she believes it’s important to acknowledge women of color who were part of the movement yet were still denied the right to vote. Center, Leila Rupp, a Feminist Studies professor at UCSB and the acting dean of the graduate division, said she believes the ratification of the 19th Amendment should be celebrated, but the citizens who were still disenfranchised afterward should be reflected on and remembered. At right, Vijaya Jammalamadaka, the president of the League of Women Voters, said she believes black suffrage leaders should have their place in history equally as prominent as that of white suffrage leaders.
