A growing concern Virtual forum outlines issues facing the agriculture industry

County asks locals to get COVID tested By JORGE MERCADO NEWS-PRESS STAFF WRITER

There has been a shortage of N-95 masks for local ag workers recently, a problem made even worse by the pandemic and wildfires in California.

By JORGE MERCADO NEWS-PRESS STAFF WRITER

While the current COVID-19 pandemic has made things a lot harder for people in the agricultural industry, these issues have been further exacerbated by the novel coronavirus and the current wildfires plaguing California. Keeping employees safe is at the forefront of every employer’s mind and one thing agriculture farmers need, especially right now, are N-95 masks specially designed for these workers. “There’s the need for N-95 masks specially designed for agriculture. Currently, we can get the N-95 and KN-95 that are specially designed for our sprayers, but with the current

status of the air quality in the states, there’s a huge demand,” said Teri Bontrager, executive director of the Santa Barbara County Farm Bureau. Ms. Bontrager, along with other local leaders in the ag industry across the Central Coast, shared these concerns and many more Friday during a virtual town hall hosted by Rep. Salud Carbajal, D-Santa Barbara. Personal protective equipment has been a topic of discussion since the pandemic began. With the current fires and upcoming harvest season, ag workers need the masks just as much, if not more than other essential workers. “The masks that we have, it’s on a one-time temporary basis and we need more help to help our farmers out. Our employees are so

important to us and we want to keep them as safe as we possibly can,” Ms. Bontrager said. Claire Wyman from Growers Shippers Association in Santa Maria shared the same sentiment as Ms. Bontrager saying ongoing challenges include “testing materials, the need for those expedited testing and the associated equipment and supplies.” Joel Peterson, executive director of Paso Robles Wine Country Alliance, also agreed. “It’s been mentioned a couple of times already today, but keeping our agricultural and farm workers safe (is important). We need proper testing and even more testing. We need PPE, specifically N-95 masks to protect our field and farmworkers. This is essential, we Please see AG on A3

In an effort to try to help Santa Barbara County reach the next tier in the state’s COVID-19 guidelines, the county Public Health Department is asking community members to once again get tested for the novel coronavirus. The move comes after the county failed to meet the state’s seven-day testing average during this past week’s evaluation. The county’s most recent seven-day testing average was 191, while the state’s was 217. As a result, the county was penalized and its average daily case rate per 100,000 was bumped up from 7.9 to 8.3. Currently, the county is in the state’s purple tier. To move into the red, which would allow them to open more businesses, such as partial indoor dining and movie theaters with limited seating, the county must reduce its daily case rate to under seven per 100,000. One way of helping the county reach that goal is to encourage the public to get tested, especially if they feel they have been exposed to the virus. “One key element of the state’s new approach to reopening to a safer economy is testing volume, or the average number of COVID-19 tests we conduct per day based on our population over a seven-day period,” said Nick Clay, the county’s director of emergency medical services agency, during Friday’s press conference. “It is critical that we are testing more than the state average and that number changes every week, so it’s a moving target.” The county previously pushed for widespread testing, though

changed its messaging in early July due to a lack of resources to test everyone efficiently. This led to increased turn around times. “We recognize the messaging on testing has shifted during the course of the pandemic. The messaging has been primarily driven by testing availability. When the availability has been limited, we have asked the community to limit the testing to those who need it,” Mr. Clay said. “We are now asking the community to get tested, because not only is testing readily available, but sustained community testing will contribute to the county moving to the next reopening tier.” He added the most reliable test is still the nasal swab test. Furthering the point that testing is becoming more readily available in the county, Dr. Stewart Comer, the county’s lab director, shared that the county went from averaging roughly 50 tests a week during March to now averaging about 1,400 tests a day. “We have, as of (Thursday), exceeded 130,000 total tests and our forecasts suggest that by the end of this month, we will basically exceed 150,000 total tests… it’s essentially as Please see TESTING on A8 Jack Wilson, far right, drops a large piece of trash into a bucket as his father, Brian, and sister, Parker, pick up debris along Ninos Drive.

In order to help keep workers safe, employers are also asking for expanded testing to help.

IRTHDAY

An air quality watch has been issued for Santa Barbara County due to the significant smoke being produced from wildfires throughout the state. The air quality watch, issued Friday, will remain in effect through Monday morning. According to the county Air Pollution Control District, todayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s air quality is forecast to be unhealthy for sensitive groups. Mondayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s air quality is expected to improve slightly, though is still projected to be moderate. Residents, especially those with heart or lung disease (including asthma), older adults, pregnant women, and children, should limit time spent outdoors and avoid outdoor exercise when high concentrations of smoke and particles are in the air. Essential workers who must work outside during wildfire conditions should use a properly fitted N-95 mask, officials said.

Rep. Salud Carbajal, D-Santa Barbara, hopes to attack the lack of labor with his work on the Farm Workforce Modernization Act which aims to streamline the H2-A process, a system that allows farmers to recruit foreign employees for temporary positions.

PUBLIC NOTICES

Continued from Page A1 don’t survive without this,” Mr. Peterson said. Another issue shared by Ms. Bontrager is that many people in Santa Maria want some support for the Santa Maria Fairgrounds. “The fairgrounds are the lifeblood to our community… the heartbeat of our local community,” Ms. Bontrager said. Jeff Newton, owner of Coastal Vineyard Care Associates, shared an issue that has existed for many years but has only become worse: a lack of workers. “Our biggest issue is and continues to be around labor and the lack of it. It’s been a net-zero migration since about 2008,” Mr. Newton shared. Net-zero migration means that the number of people coming into the United States to work as an agricultural farmer, usually from Mexico, is the same amount as those leaving said work for other places, usually going back to Mexico and working in the fields there. “That’s resulted in a shortage of workers for us and our crews are getting older and Hispanics are discouraged because of (President) Trump’s rage over Mexicans,” Mr. Newton said. “Other than the H2-A program, which needs to be broadened for sure, costs need to come down for small growers and we need a more comprehensive guest-worker program… If we don’t move in that direction, we will begin to lose agriculture in California. A lot of crops have already shifted into Mexico and will continue to.” Rep. Carbajal tackled these issues and more head-on, responding with the legislative work he is currently undertaking to try to combat these problems.

There has been a lack of labor in the agriculture industry across the Central Coast which could mean California could lose important crops to other growing and neighboring countries.

In terms of the lack of labor, Rep. Carbajal agreed with Mr. Newton and brought up his work with the Farm Workforce Modernization Act. The bill would provide a path to legalization for illegal immigrant farmworkers and their immediate family so that they can have more freedom to work in the fields without worry while also aiming to streamline the H2-A visa program, a system that allows farmers to recruit foreign employees for temporary positions. It is a bipartisan bill in which the California Farm Bureau, the United States Chamber of Commerce, the United Farm Workers of America were a part of. The bill passed the House in December 2019 but has not moved since, something Rep. Carbajal hopes will change after the current election cycle. “It was a good, cohesive group of stakeholders that came together and I’m very proud of that work. The only problem is

“We need PPE, specifically N-95 masks to protect our field and farmworkers. This is essential, we don’t survive without this,” said Joel Peterson, executive director of Paso Robles Wine Country Alliance.

that it hasn’t moved forward in the Senate… and you touched on it (but) we have a climate that hasn’t lent itself to being more embracing of moving forward with comprehensive immigration reform,” Rep. Carbajal said. Addressing the PPE and testing issue, Rep. Carbajal said that the HEROES Act, a $3 billion stimulus package in response to the pandemic passed in May, played a huge role in getting PPE into the hands of essential workers. A similar measure has been stuck in the Senate since the end of July, which would also “address a lot more funding and support to be able to provide that support in terms of testing, tracing and treatment,” Rep. Carbajal said. As a result, he is hopeful that the upcoming economic relief package comes “sooner rather than later.” In terms of the Santa Maria Fairgrounds, Rep. Carbajal said he has signed onto a number of efforts and legislation to support fairgrounds across the country. He hopes it will also be considered in the upcoming economic relief package. “I have heard you loud and clear and I have co-sponsored legislation to see this issue resolved soon,” Rep. Carbajal said. In response to Rep. Carbajal’s virtual forum, Andy Caldwell, who is challenging for Rep. Carbajal’s seat, criticized the congressman for supporting Proposition 15, which Mr. Caldwell said is opposed by at least a dozen local ag industry leaders. “Salud is ON the Agriculture Committee, yet the only bill he has helped pass is co-sponsoring a resolution naming July as ‘Grown Flower Month.’ WHERE’S THE BEEF?” Mr. Caldwell told the News-Press over email.

Press. On a normal year, EE usually helps sponsor a Coastal Cleanup Day, in which locals are asked to come out and pick up trash around the local beaches. In response to the pandemic this year, the cleanup has been extended throughout the entire month, which comes with its share of perks. “It’s great because I think this has really turned into an educational event because what people are learning is before they thought, ‘Well you want to clean the beach, you go to the beach.’ Now what people are realizing is the litter that’s on the land in our neighborhood is what becomes marine debris, and so by picking it up by the source of where it comes from, we remove it from the waste stream and then it doesn’t have time to get to the ocean,” Ms. Cloutier said. She added that she has been happy with the turnout. In the first week, Explore Ecology saw about 88 people volunteer, but it has grown to over 100 since. “I think people are still active and, in fact, I think we’re going to have more volunteers in the coming weeks,” she said. Helping keep our neighborhood clean is also made more fun with family. That’s one way Brian and Kim Wilson, along with their three kids, are spending some extra time together these days. “Just driving around your neighborhood, you notice a lot of trash so last weekend we went out near Monroe School and in a couple of hours we filled up four garbage bags and found all kinds of stuff,” Mr. Wilson said. “We live in a beautiful place and we want to keep it that way. It’s important to go down by the beach and do that, but also in our own neighborhoods.” Saturday morning, the Wilson’s, sans their eldest daughter, were out cleaning out the neighborhood by the Santa Barbara Zoo. “The reason we picked that area is that our older daughter has practiced at the beach for volleyball and we drive by that

area a lot and so it was nice to be out there with our kids,” Ms. Wilson said. Mr. Wilson said they picked up four bags worth of trash again this Saturday, something that he said was “surprising.” “There’s a fair amount of trash out there so if you look for it, you can find it,” he said. Both Mr. and Ms. Wilson are in charity teams with their kids. Mr. Wilson is on a boys charity team with his son, Jack, while Ms. Wilson is a part of the National Charity League with her eldest daughter, Taylor. “We all live these busy lives so it’s just nice to be together and working on a project together and it’s just nice for me to spend time with my kids,” Mr. Wilson said. “It really opens up, I think, a young person’s mind and their ability to see how important these things are in the community,” Ms. Wilson added. Their youngest daughter, Parker, also joins in on the fun and will join the charity league alongside her mom when she’s old enough.

Sarah Bronsted, middle, and daughters Lyla, right, and Claire Gamble, picked up nearly 10 pounds worth of trash Saturday as they were picking up debris near Atascadero Creek. “I think it sets a good example and especially right now with kids feeling the stress of everything as well,” Ms. Bronstad said.

“She’s only along for the ride right now, she’s a kid but she gets a lot of good exposure in school of how important the environment is and how to take care of it… This is the future. Taking care of plants is something we all need to get on board with and sustain it for generations,” Mr. Wilson said. Both the Wilson’s said they will be continuing to pick up trash through the end of the month, something that Ms. Wilson said she is very excited for. “It’s funny, I just drive around thinking, ‘Here’s another place we could do,’” she said with a laugh. “I don’t know where we will go next but we are excited.” Sarah Bronstad was also out and about bright and early with her daughters, Lyla and Andie Bronstad and Claire Gamble. For her, doing this work now is more important than ever. “I think it’s essential actually for just (our) well being. Sitting at home and reading the news and everything that’s going on is tough, so it’s a good way to feel proactive and feel like you’re actually making a difference,” Ms. Bronstad said. They picked up trash along Atascadero Creek near the Grace Gathering Church in Goleta. In about one hour, they picked up nearly 10 pounds of trash. “It’s amazing and it’s just a good feeling to know that we picked that up before we even got to the ocean and it didn’t interfere with wildlife between here and the ocean, so it’s really rewarding,” Ms. Bronstad said. She, along with her family, has participated in the event for the past four years. “I think it sets a good example and especially right now with kids feeling the stress of everything as

well,” Ms. Bronstad said. Along their journey, she said they found a lot of broken plates. Lyla, one of the younger daughters, said this is part of a new trend on TikTok in which kids write what they are going through on these plates and then proceed to smash them to “make themselves feel better.” “Last week when we were here we picked up a lot of plates and that’s just not good because they’re just leaving these pieces all around,” Lyla said. She added doing things like trash pickup has helped her during these tough times. “During this pandemic, you can’t just go out and see your friends and do these things so it is a bit sad,” she said. For Ms. Bronstad, it’s doing the small things that make a big difference. “I just want to encourage other people to remember that it can be something really small and it doesn’t feel like what we’re doing is a big deal, but it does feel good inside for us,” she said. “Now I walk around and I just have a tendency to want to pick up trash because it rolls into the creek, then into the drains and then into the ocean. It doesn’t just disappear.” People who want to participate in Explore Ecology’s Coastal Cleanup Month are encouraged to sign up at https://exploreecology. org/ccd so that they could get an accurate headcount. People should also make sure to submit how much trash they picked up through the CleanSwell mobile app or other options available on their website. email: jmercado@newspress.com

Los Angeles Rams quarterback Jared Goff admires his new digs at SoFi Stadium in Inglewood.

MARK PATTON

he odd shape of the football is an anatomical phenomenon: The first ones were made by inflating the bladder of a pig. The sport has been taking crazy bounces ever since. Nothing was nuttier than having Los Angeles go without an NFL team for two decades. It makes ironic sense that the fulfillment of the Ramsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; redux will come with tonightâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s grand opening of a $5 billion stadiumâ&#x20AC;Ś that has 70,000 empty seats. The motivation must come from within for defensive tackle Aaron Donald when heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s chasing Dallas quarterback Dak Prescott in the Ramsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; season opener at SoFi Stadium. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We need fans in there just for the excitement and for the fun of it,â&#x20AC;? said Donald, a two-time NFL Defensive Player of the Year. â&#x20AC;&#x153;But ainâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t nothing I can do about it.â&#x20AC;? We feel your pain, big guy. The COVID-19 pandemic is just one more calamity thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s beset pro football in Southern California. The record-setting rainfall of 2017 delayed last yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s expected opening of a stadium which, in another bit of irony, is covered by a translucent canopy. You can beat the New England Patriots, but not Mother Nature. The times that are a-changing in the NFL include the migration of several uber quarterbacks. Tom Brady, the Patriotsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; four-time Super Bowl MVP, will now throw the pig bladder in Tampa Bay. Carolina star Cam Newton has relieved him in New England. Even the Los Angeles Chargers â&#x20AC;&#x201D; the Ramsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; housemate at SoFi â&#x20AC;&#x201D; have changed quarterbacks for the first time in 15 years. Philip Rivers, 38, departed for Indianapolis after having served as their starter for 224 regularseason games. The Chargers apparently coveted someone with more experience, wooing the 43-yearold Brady. They had to settle for a 31-year-old youngster named Tyrod Taylor for todayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s opener at Cincinnati. The Rams were determined to become Super Bowl contenders by the time SoFi opened, giving a record-setting, four-year contract extension to 2017 Offensive Player of the Year Todd Gurley. But that approach had no legs on which to stand after the star running backâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s knee went bad. The Rams

Aaron Donald, a two-time NFL Defensive Player of the Year, will be leading the Rams into tonightâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s season opener against Dallas.

released him last spring and heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s now limping for Atlanta. Theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re now building their offense around quarterback Jared Goff, who led their 2018-19 run to Super Bowl LIII. But it was as if HE had changed teams during the fall of 2019 when he completed 16 passes to the opposition. The Rams wound up missing the playoffs for the first time in Sean McVayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s four years as coach. The new, state-of-the-art stadium does have them looking up, however. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Everybodyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s got a little pop in their step,â&#x20AC;? McVay observed â&#x20AC;&#x201D; a sound they no longer have to hear from Gurleyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s knees. The arthritic Memorial Coliseum, built for the 1932 Olympic Games, had served as little more than a monument to those knees. One of its few makeovers came 36 years ago when it erected bronze statues of two nude, bronze torsos at its peristyle end for the 1984 Olympics. Even San Marcos High graduate Terry Schroeder, the four-time water polo Olympian who posed for the male torso, grew weary of the nine-foot-high, headless

sculptures. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s still a sense of embarrassment when I go down to SC for a game and we go by in the van with the Pepperdine players,â&#x20AC;? said Schroeder, whoâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s coached the Waves for the last 27 seasons. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s still a sense of, â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s me naked up there.â&#x20AC;&#x2122; Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not a real comfortable feeling sometimes.â&#x20AC;? But nothing has been comfortable at the Coliseum for a very long time. Goffâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s disposition turns sunny every time heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s under SoFiâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s translucent canopy. He reacted like a kid in a candy shop when he took a stadium tour six weeks ago, gawking at both the 360-degree, dual-sided video board and the palm-tree-lined concourse. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Wowâ&#x20AC;Ś pretty cool... amazing,â&#x20AC;? Goff gushed. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t wait to play here. I love that you can see the palm trees. â&#x20AC;&#x153;As a quarterback, anytime itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s indoors, you love it. And itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a little bit of both. There is that little breeze you can feel at times, but it is fairly indoors for the most part, and the ball jumps here and it feels really good.â&#x20AC;? He has plenty of receivers who can jump to catch it, too. Robert

Woods and Cooper Kupp took their catches for more than 1,000 yards each last year. Goff is also feeling the cool draft of secondround pick Van Jefferson, a star receiver from Florida who drew rave reviews in training camp. The Rams got serious about their defense, as well, by signing Jalen Ramsey to a five-year extension worth $105 million. No defensive back has ever been paid more. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s no time to go cheap, after all, when your new home costs more than the Taj Mahal. But SoFi isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t just a football stadium. It also will be the site of WrestleMania 37 next March, and for both the soccer and archery competitions during the 2028 Olympic Games. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s also an entertainment center and master-planned neighborhood. A casino became the first establishment to operate at the site four years ago. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s truly unbelievable,â&#x20AC;? Goff said, â&#x20AC;&#x153;and truly one of the crown jewels in sports right now.â&#x20AC;? When you spend $5 billion, after all, youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re not buying a pig in a poke. email: mpatton@newspress.com

gUEST OPINION

NEWS-PRESS ENDORSMENTS

The members-only club

ancy Pelosi made an appointment at a hair salon that was closed to everyone else because of COVID-19. Another headline noted that private gyms were closed while gyms for government employees remained open. Unfortunately, double standards are par for the course for politicians and bureaucrats who reserve privileges for themselves only. The members of this club refer to one another as “family,” relegating the rest of us to the status of stepchildren. Another example of this phenomenon that affects a significant number of people? School closures. Currently, there is a process in place by which K-6 grade schools can apply for a waiver from the COVID shutdown to reopen with certain limitations. Many of the private schools have applied. The public schools? Not so much. Why should they? Unlike the private schools, public school teachers get paid regardless.

hook-up culture, whereby children and young adults actually get to “know each other” by having casual sex with virtual strangers. This is part of a larger pathology that is preying on the worst instincts of boys and damaging the most sensitive instincts of girls. In a nutshell, we are encouraging our children to become sexually active and promiscuous in the name of education. The results are in. Boys as young as 12 years old are now clinically diagnosed sex addicts. As a result, they have great difficulty relating to females as anything but sex objects. Girls, for their part, are hooking up so often that they lose their ability to trust, bond and be intimate in a meaningful way. All of this spells disaster for the ability to form stable and enduring families. Parents, consider joining the school choice movement.

DRAWING BOARD

The Santa Barbara NewsPress endorses these candidates for the Nov. 3 general election: President Donald Trump. This is not an election of personalities — it’s an election to save the country from those forces that want to “transform” it into something that is the antithesis of this country’s founding, changing for the worst the most wonderful country on Earth. Andy Caldwell, 24th District, U.S. House of Representatives, will bring a much needed “voice of reason” to the U.S. Congress, something sorely lacking for decades in this district. He wants to “drain the swamp” in Washington, lower taxes, fight for the working man and work to decrease the size of government. He will battle the socialist agenda, fight for parents’ right to choose the best school for their children, work to provide affordable housing and healthcare. He pledges to restore constitutional principles to government and to restore the American Dream.

Jordan Cunningham has been an active common-sense representative for the 35th State Assembly District. He has taken on the Employment Development Department (EDD) to help his constituents get unemployment benefits during the pandemic. He supports having the U.S. Space Command Headquarters based at Vandenberg Air Force Base, which will bring much needed employment to the Santa Barbara region. Gary Michaels, 19th State Senate District, Santa Maria, a small business owner who is a fiscal conservative. He wants to get the best value for taxpayers and believes in limited government and limited government expenditures. Charles Cole, 37th State Assembly District, a lifelong resident of Santa Barbara, embraces Ronald Reagan’s principles and values in California politics. He is for school choice, opposes new taxes and would like to see the monies spent on the “train to nowhere” go toward self-help resources for the homeless who want to reenter society.

Lockdown rules applied unfairly

The fix is in for the election

he election this November isn’t going to be as much about Joe Biden and Donald Trump, but more a defining moment deciding the future of our country. Deciding if we are going to remain a free nation where elections matter or whether we’re going to become a third-world country. This election won’t be fair. The Democrats have already been stacking the deck, pushing the vote-by-mail process, using the virus as the excuse and claiming polling places disenfranchise the poor. They also continue to use the virus to keep the country held down and preventing it from emerging out of the financial hole we’ve been placed in. Those points are valid and true. What is also true is the big three tech companies have for years, but accelerated in 2020, their form of censorship and manipulation. Google, Facebook and Twitter are doing all they can to control content away from conservative ideals and push their liberal agenda using the full strength of their monopoly-controlled information source.

be erased. Unemployment from its lowest numbers to its highest. People locked in their homes. The entire service industry shut down. Schools closed, and you know the rest. However, this was only supposed to last a couple weeks until we flattened the curve and not overload the hospitals we were told. Nearly eight months later, we’re still trying to flatten the curve despite being flattened months ago. The short answer is, Democrats used the deaths of Americans to further an agenda and to manipulate the election in a massive unprecedented fashion. They made entire states suffer in the hopes that people would give them kudos for their wisdom and blame Mr. Trump for their suffering. This was and is a sinful and atrocious action, and they’ve gotten away with it. This election may very well see the end of democracy in America and could be the beginning of our second civil war. I don’t see anything good on the backside of this, whoever wins. There will be hell to pay one way or another. May God have mercy on us. Because no one else will.

letters to the news-press A message for America efore I start my birthday letter to B you, I’d like to quote how I feel, not only of what has been happening,

showing hate, disrespect, bigotry and lack of God. Here it is: “I expect to pass through this world but once. Any good thing, therefore, that I can do of any kindness I can show to any creature, let me do it now. Let me not defer or neglect it, for I shall not pass this way again.” Stephen Grellet. Monday is my 94th birthday and the birthday of the Stars Spangled Banner. I guess that is why my love of our flag chokes me up when I see it fluttering in the breeze. As I did last year, I would like to present a gift to you. Listen and learn. Another year of living in these United States has had its ups and downs, and we, as a nation, have taken it on the chin, but this is not what we should be having to face. Never in past years has there been such division. I doubt it has ever raised its ugly head to this level during our times of war or peace. My memory of the past does not compare with what this past one year has dumped on this nation. My past has survived several wars and the Great Depression. It wasn’t that the Depression that was great; it was that this was an era in which everyone pulled together as one. World War II, we again pulled together as one. Sept. 11, 2001, the first big catastrophe on our land, and several other wars where we lost many military souls. At all these times, we came together as one. Are you aware of the story our flag tells us? The red is the valor of those who died for us, the white is for the liberty we take for granted and the blue

represents the justice we seek in our courts of law and the stars — our states’ independence. Please don’t burn the flag. Respect it for what it represents. After each catastrophe we came together as one. We were one nation, under God. We didn’t single out a person or state because of hate, the outcome of an election. We didn’t destroy what was built up by hard working citizens, we didn’t kill one another, not even in the history of these United States of wars did we kill innocent children, burn buildings, topple statues, spray paint not only buildings but individuals supposedly in the name of a group of people named “Antifa,” organizations named “Organizing For Action,” “Open Society Foundation.” Skin color has never been the cause of dissent. It is these groups, the smallminded hate mongers that have given this nation a mark of division. Grow up; show you can become the citizen that shows love of country, not a political party, love of fellow man and especially, Love of God. When you cast your vote, your most sacred act, do it for OUR country, not the political party that wants to change what we, as a nation, represent. Will you show you are a true American citizen of these United States? Keep America, America. Anita Dwyer Lompoc

SB City Council should lead by example

ur intrepid city leaders are considering another power grab. The latest idea working its way

parents besides educators? This self-serving decision making is happening in our own backyard, serving as a microcosm for what government employees do for themselves and not for the rest of us. If it is good enough for them, it’s good enough for us. After all, the taxpayers do foot the bill. School district employees have their child care services and academic support at school, yet churches remain restricted in their reopening. Why can’t we have indoor worship? Same rules would apply: mask, social

through the Ordinance Committee is to limit rent increases to an annual 2% maximum. That would be regardless of inflation, regardless of the age of a building and how much maintenance it needs, regardless of comparable rents. The Santa Barbara City Council knows what the rent for every building, every home and every apartment in Santa Barbara should be. I have a better idea. Let’s limit City Council members’ annual salary increase to no more than 2%. Let them lead by example. Another perk to be changed is the over $400 per month vehicle expense allowance City Council members receive. Instead, let’s give them an annual bus pass, the same as they have decreed all downtown employers must give their employees. The clarion call from our elected officials and city staff is to save the planet and get on the bike or bus. Another opportunity to lead by example! There shouldn’t be reimbursement for junkets, such as the annual League of Cities classes in Sacramento. Zoom is the way to learn. If other meetings are now limited to online, our mayor and council should be trained that way forevermore. City Council members should be in the same Social Security system as most of their constituents, not in the absurdly generous CalPERS (California Public Employee Retirement System). Ordinary employees and employers pay the same 6.2% of earned income into Social Security and 1.45% into Medicare. But if you are in CalPERS as an elected official you pay 7% and the city — that is, the taxpayers — pays 21% into your CalPERS retirement account. It is unfair for elected officials to receive a better pension than most of their constituents, at the constituents’ expense. We pay and we obey. That has become

distancing, disinfecting and complete wipe down. Again, why can’t churches open? And a Santa Ynez gym recently was ordered closed, fined and summoned back to court; meanwhile, the government gyms can be open for the “essential” workers. Isn’t everyone’s health essential? We have lived in lockdown since mid-March. We followed the mandates for the Fourth of July and Memorial Day weekends, the same for Solstice and Fiesta Parades. Basically, no celebrations were allowed as

the California way. It’s time THEY considered ways to take the burden off the citizenry instead of constantly imposing more rules, regulations, and fees. Michael Self Santa Barbara

The crazy world

here’s too much crazy when: • The ONLY way to socialize in lockdown America was to protest. Of course, it became the standard response to anything real and manipulated. • The virus became political fodder in a war that killed thousands of us and

group gatherings were verboten. The Santa Barbara Bowl is closed as are theaters (except for drive-ins), so there are no indoor movies, plays, symphonies, opera, ballet, basically no performing arts whatsoever. Since March! What do we have to look forward to? No Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade, and no Rose Parade, etc. Are we being protected from COVID, or is this a design to alter the fundamental manner in which our culture manifests? Remember last February when it was still, as from the Gettysburg

wrecked the economy. • People are arrested for going to church but applauded for rioting and pulling down statues. That’s too much crazy. • Government reaction to a summer of violence and random murder of children ... as Democratic-run cities burn ... a movement to defund the police gains traction ... such counter-intuitive madness as drives one to protest against protest ... time on our hands … Rioters are immune to COVID so join the party in the street and bring bricks ... why not? Nothing else makes any sense. A recreational revolution.

Address, “of the people, by the people, and for the people”? In other words, our freedoms are now going out the window. We are systematically acquiescing to a government that is too big and too overreaching. And that is where these government officials should go – out the window. The French called it defenestration. The way we do it in our country, is to vote them out of office. Civics 101: Governors rule the states, mayors rule the cities, boards of supervisors rule the counties, boards of education

NOBBE, Erwin Arnold

Erwin Arnold Nobbe, CPO passed peacefully at 92 years old, August 23, 2020, on his 62nd wedding anniversary. His wife of sixty two years, Hermine Nobbe passed on June 9, 2020. Born in Osnabrueck, Germany on April 5, 1928 Erwin was preceded by his mother, Johanna Nobbe, father, Franz Nobbe, brother Hans Nobbe, sister Magda Schoebel, all of Germany. He is survived by his sisters, Ute, Elke and Pueppi all still of Germany. Erwin is survived by his son Ralph W. Nobbe and his wife Sharadi L. Nobbe, four grandchildren, two step grandchildren and five great grandchildren. His life was one of challenge, adventure and fortitude. The Nobbe family home and business were destroyed by allied bombing during WWII. His dream of medical school was derailed when he was “drafted” into the German army at age 14. He was captured and became an American prisoner of war in Cherbourg, France. While imprisoned, Erwin became proficient in French and English. He was assigned to the medical barracks with the International Red Cross to assist injured and disabled war veterans. He had found his calling. Following the war, he entered the orthotic and prosthetic field. He quickly excelled and obtained his Meisterbrief in orthotics and prosthetics at the University of Freidrichsburg, Germany. During his internship in Bad Tolz, Germany, he met the love of his life, the late, Hermine Nobbe. Following their engagement, Erwin accepted a challenging position with the International Red Cross to establish an orthotic/prosthetic facility at the University Hospital in Istanbul, Turkey. He became conversant in Turkish and continued with those early friendships to this day. Upon completion of his contract with the University, he returned to Bad Tolz and married Hermine Schmuck on August 23, 1958. Erwin had decided to emigrate to the United States following his WWII imprisonment. Erwin was offered employment at J.E. Hanger and Co. in Washington, DC. He found that more opportunities presented as a business owner, and he acquired Pava Orthopedic Lab in Santa Barbara. That became Nobbe Orthopedics, Inc. which ultimately grew to three locations. For sixty years, Nobbe Orthopedics, Inc. served the local medical community and the tri-counties earning local, state and national recognition. Erwin and Hermine were founding members of, and remained active in the German American club, both locally and regionally. Erwin loved travel, chess, riddles, languages, family and maintained a vast network of friends worldwide. Erwin and Hermine were re-united on their 62nd wedding anniversary. They will be missed by all who knew them.

FRYE, Ann Hitchcock 8/18/32-8/29/20

Ann H. “Annie” Frye, age 88, of Santa Barbara passed away on Saturday, August 29, 2020 after a brief illness. Born August 18, 1932, in Santa Barbara, Ca. she is predeceased by her parents, Lloyd and Anita Hitchcock of Santa Barbara, and her late husband of 48 years, Walter E. Frye of Santa Barbara. Ann and Walter were blessed with 3 sons: Greg of Ventura, California, Russell of Denver, Colorado, and Jonathan of San Diego, California. Ann grew up in the neighborhood of the Santa Barbara Mission where she attended Roosevelt Elementary school. After graduating from Santa Barbara High School in 1950, Ann worked at the YMCA where she and her husband Walter rst met. They were married in 1956 and settled in Goleta, California where they raised their family. A loving wife and mother, one of Ann’s greatest passions was working with children. She worked as an instructional assistant for the Santa Barbara school district for 34 years, helping elementary school children learn to read and write. She volunteered to work at several charitable organizations in the Santa Barbara area including Los Pequenos, Dos Pueblos Little League, Goleta Boys club, Santa Barbara Junior Golf Association, Santa Barbara Hospice and The Assistance League of Santa Barbara. In total, Ann spent over 60 years of her life volunteering for organizations helping the youth of Santa Barbara. Perhaps her greatest joy was in raising her 3 boys. Fiercely devoted to her family, she was constantly in attendance at their sporting practices, cheering at games or any school events for all of her children; bringing cakes and desserts with her, a giant heart and even bigger smile. The same practice continued for her grandchildren. A terric cook who had a variety of hobbies including gardening, bridge, reading and watching her beloved Los Angeles Lakers play basketball, Ann also had a lifelong fondness for dogs. She spent many pleasant days walking the beach with her dog at her side. A Santa Barbara native, she enjoyed giving tours of the Santa Barbara Mission as well as introducing guests to the Santa Barbara area. She could vividly recall such local events as the Japanese bombing of Ellwood beach in Goleta during WWII, watching the wedding of Gloria Vanderbilt at the Santa Barbara Mission, as well as many other historical events during her years in the Santa Barbara area. Ann leaves behind her sons and their families. Walter Gregory Frye, his wife Lisa and sons Bradley, Garrett and Zachary of Ventura, California, Russell Frye of Denver, Colorado, and Jonathan Frye and his wife Margaret of San Diego, California as well as numerous cousins A private burial service for family members is planned. A celebration of life service will be held after current coronavirus restrictions are removed. In lieu of owers, donations may be made in her name to The Assistance League of Santa Barbara or to the Goleta Boys Club. The family wishes to thank the staff at Cypress Place Senior Living facility in Ventura for their extraordinary kindness and caring the last 2 years of Ann’s life as well as Dr. Richard Ponce, family medical practitioner of Santa Barbara.

Astros scored five runs in the top of the ninth inning to defeat the Los Angeles Dodgers, 7-5, Saturday afternoon at Dodger Stadium The Astros came out victorious in the World Series rematch and roughed up L.A. closer Kenley Jansen in the process. Jansen did not record an out in the ninth, allowing five hits and five runs (four earned). It was his second blown save of the season. The Dodgers (32-14) led 5-1 after eight innings. Josh Reddick hit a two-run double to make it a 5-4 game before George Springer’s fielder’s choice tied the game at 5. Alex Bregman followed with a RBI single and Yuli Gurriel added a sacrifice fly. L.A. took a 3-1 lead in the bottom of the second following back-to-back home runs by Chris Taylor and Enrique Hernandez. A.J.

Bieber recorded his 100th strikeout of the season Friday against the Twins, completing the feat in just 62 1/3 innings. That marks the fewest innings it has taken any starting pitcher to reach the 100-K mark since 1900, according to the Elias Sports Bureau. Entering his start Friday, Bieber led the Majors in strikeouts per nine innings (14.67) and strikeout percentage (42.9%). He has struck out at least eight batters in each of his 10 starts this season, the most to start a season in Cleveland franchise history. It’s also the second most consecutive starts with at least eight strikeouts to start a season since 1901, trailing only Randy Johnson, who did so in 15 straight starts in 2000. — Mitchell White

SCHULTZ, Arthur Warren January 13, 1922 - August 18, 2020

Arthur Schultz peacefully passed away at his home in Casa Dorinda, Montecito, California. He was father of Art, Julia and John and brother of Harold and Peter. He is survived by his children, Arthur Warren Schultz, Jr. and Julia Schultz Miller, four grandchildren and one great-grandchild. He was kind, endearing, generous, intelligent, talented person who was always there for his friends and family. Arthur was born in White Plains, New York. He grew up during the depression and ended up finishing his childhood in Illinois. He graduated from the University of Chicago, though at age 19, his education was interrupted by WW II. He served as a bomber pilot in China with the Flying Tigers which included 22 missions over “The Hump.” Upon returning from the war, he married Elizabeth Mahan and had three children. He started a mail order business where he first learned about marketing and advertising. Later, he joined Foote, Cone and Belding where he worked for 33 years. He served as Chairman and CEO from 1973 to 1982. He also served on numerous civic and corporate Boards. He was particularly proud to be a Life Trustee of the University of Chicago. Arthur had a robust 38 year retirement. He developed a deep love and appreciation for Art. He served as Chairman of the Art Institutes of Chicago and Santa Barbara. In 1984, He was named to the Presidential Arts and Humanities Commission and subsequently authored several books on the history and care of Art. Arthur was an avid golfer and shot his age hundreds of times. He was also a golf historian who accumulated one of the largest golf books collections in the world, which he graciously donated to the University of Chicago. Arthur relocated to Santa Barbara and married the love of his life Sue Keefe in 1988 and rekindled a long friendship that would last over 75 years. They travelled extensively and played lots of golf together. Their favorite place to play was the Valley Club where they have many deep friendships. When Sue passed in April, 2016, he truly lost his best friend. One of the crowning achievements of his life occurred at age 88. He co-authored the historically significant and critically acclaimed untold story of Albert Lasker in “The Man Who Sold America.” The book was nominated for the Pulitzer Prize.

LEEMHUIS, Lucille Marguerite McPherson Gruendyke September 21, 1923 - August 22, 2020

Lucille was born in Glendale, California, to parents who had headed west from Arkansas and Tennessee in the early 1900s. Growing up during the Depression in a strong Christian household, Lucille was taught at an early age to always help those in need. This lesson was reinforced in her teens when she started her daily routine serving hot breakfast to anyone who showed up on her front porch that morning. Throughout her life, she demonstrated her love by being the biggest cheerleader, designated second mom, and beloved neighbor to all those that she came in contact with. Lucille lived a wonderful and full life constantly surrounded by family and friends. She would meet her first husband and former Hoover High classmate, Arthur Gruendyke, while both started working at the Glendale Unified School District in the 1940s. In1976, five years after moving to their home in Santa Barbara, Art lost his life in a tragic automobile accident. Shortly after her husband’s death, Lucille began to work for the SB School District. She worked there for 12 years developing special, lifelong friendships. Lucille helped to guide and encourage people who applied for positions within the district. One applicant she helped said Lucille was the face of the SBSD. In the early ‘80s, Lucille’s life changed by attending a Hoover High School reunion, where she reconnected with fellow classmate John Leemhuis. They were married in 1983—sharing many happy years together traveling and enjoying friends and family. She is survived by her children Ken (Jackie), Rod (Oliva), and Holly, as well as eight grandchildren—Greg, Kelly, Elin, Solveig, Erika, Garrett, Tabitha and Harlow– and her six energetic great-grandchildren. She was preceded in death by her brother, Jay McPherson and his wife Billie. Lucille loved the special relationships that she had with their children – Clark (Karen), Mark (Karen), and Marsha. Children and grandchildren from John Leemhuis were also very important to her: John Jr., Adrienne (Jim), Jessica (Chris), and Kathryn. Our family also wishes to thank the devoted caregivers who loved and helped her these past few years: Wanda Alonzo, Mzia Day, and Fawn Ray Kuba. No services are planned at this time due to the Covid-19 restrictions. The family asks that donations be made to the Santa Barbara Visiting Nurse & Hospice Care. 512 E.

By ANNELISE HANSHAW NEWS-PRESS STAFF WRITER

atureTrack, a nonprofit that provides field trips to classes, launches its annual film festival digitally Oct. 9-18. The festival showcases films from 21 countries — all with an environmental theme. Normally the Los Olivos festival plays the selected entries alongside excursions, like bike tours and hikes. Guests get to explore the Santa Ynez Valley and then return to a theater to see international environments. This year, NatureTrack will present the films online. Founder and director Sue Eisaguirre hopes the digital format will attract more international viewers. Some of the filmmakers have shared the links to family and friends who usually would not be able to attend. Moviegoers can purchase passes for small blocks of films for $10 or an all-access pass for $100. The 72 films will be available for 10 days, through the festival’s Eventive website. “It’s disappointing we can’t have it in-person for the excitement of a film festival and what it does for the community,” Ms. Eisaguirre told the News-Press. “But we potentially will have people watching the festival worldwide.” She planned the festival for March before delaying it to October, in hopes the COVID-19 pandemic would clear. “We just felt we couldn’t move forward, in the best interest of the community and the attendees,” she said. “It was so hard because the momentum was there, and we felt like it was going to turn the corner and turn a crowd.” It’s only the third annual NatureTrack Film Festival, and the original date looked promising. The switch up has been expensive. NatureTrack already prepared and purchased the materials, and it couldn’t use them anymore. The team changed the date on flyers and posters to avoid wasting materials and money. Ms. Eisaguirre dropped the price of all-access passes for the virtual format. She emailed everyone who had already purchased and offered an additional pass or a refund, if they didn’t want the excess to be donated. Passes can be transferred to the 2022 festival. She canceled the 2021 event to have enough time to regroup after this year. The film festival serves as a fundraiser for NatureTrack. The proceeds fund field trips for 1,000 to 1,500 students. Director Eisaguirre and her team are still providing field trips, though they’ve had to be creative. NatureTrack provides virtual hikes to teachers so students can still experience a piece of nature. And through YMCA, they still take field trips out — with extra precautions. Prior to COVID-19, it wasn’t very expensive to bus kids to the site. Now, NatureTrack provides charter buses with lots of empty seats so students can stay six feet apart. Ms. Eisaguirre is optimistic that a virtual film festival can turn enough profit to keep up with last year’s financials. Directors of two of the festival’s movies talked about their projects with the News-Press. Director Preston Maag Preston Maag directed “10 Miles Out” while finishing up his degree in film and media studies at UCSB. He discovered a love of backpacking after his friend took him to Los Padres National Forest one weekend in February 2019. A feeling lingered after that trip. He knew he was onto something. In April, he enrolled in GreenScreen, a selective class at UCSB aimed at making nature films. It clicked. He was going to film a documentary about backpacking while following groups through Los Padres. “When I was able to put things on my back, I found a sense of freedom,” director Maag said. “You’re able to do more and get away from people.” He hiked with a 40- to 50-pound pack of essentials and camera equipment. Spread across a few weekends, he totaled 60 miles Please see NATURE on B4

At left, Mr. McLoughlin said he named the documentary “Carrizo Plain — A Sense of Place” because of the artists featured in it. He said they’ve brought a broad sense of the place in their artistic interpretations.

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.

Classic meatloaf is comfort food

ear Abby: My stepmother had a recipe for meatloaf that she found in your column years ago. She made it for us often when we visited and we all loved it. However, we have been unable to locate that recipe anywhere and donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t remember how to make it. Could you reprint the recipe for me? Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve been trying others, but yours is the best. â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Jenna in Jacksonville, Fla. Dear Jenna: Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m pleased to share that recipe once again. I have made it and we love it, too. Now that you have mentioned it, when I go to the market later, Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll pick up the ingredients and make it for dinner tonight. The leftovers make wonderful sandwiches! This recipe is part of my cookbooklet set, which has Abigail recipes for Van Buren appetizers, soups, salads, vegetable side dishes, main courses and delicious desserts. The set can be ordered by sending your name and mailing address, plus check or money order for $14 (U.S. funds) to: Dear Abby â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Cookbooklet Set, P.O. Box 447, Mount Morris, IL 610540447. By the way, the cookbooklet set also contains a tasty recipe for turkey meatloaf for those who have sworn off red meat, which clearly I havenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t. Meatloaf 2 lbs. ground beef 1 cup seasoned Italian bread crumbs 1/2 cup finely chopped onion 1/3 cup ketchup 1/3 cup water 1 teaspoon garlic powder 2 eggs Pepper to taste Salt, if desired 4 strips bacon, if desired Heat oven to 350 F. In large bowl, combine all ingredients except bacon. Shape into a loaf; place in 9-by-5-inch pan. Arrange bacon strips on top of meat mixture, if desired. Bake for 60 minutes. Serves 6 to 8. Dear Abby: I have been dating â&#x20AC;&#x153;Brianâ&#x20AC;? for five months. We are very compatible and have discussed spending the rest of our lives together. He is 54; I am 59. The deal breaker for me is his â&#x20AC;&#x153;daughterâ&#x20AC;? (â&#x20AC;&#x153;Allisonâ&#x20AC;?), who is actually the daughter of a friend of his. Allison and Brianâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s two grown sons grew up together. Sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 24. Allison no longer hangs out, talks with or visits Brianâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s sons, but she is close to Brian. She has no girlfriends, no male friends and sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s estranged from her parents. Brian helps her with school projects, they go to lunch, walk on the beach, text/talk on the phone, go on bike rides, go hiking, etc. He tells me heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a father figure to her. I have met Allison and I think her behavior is a little too flirtatious for a daughter/ father relationship. She also made a couple of inappropriate comments to me during our first meeting. When I mention to Brian that I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t think itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a healthy â&#x20AC;&#x153;friendship,â&#x20AC;? he becomes defensive. Should I bow out now and cut my losses, get to know Allison better, or tell Brian itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s me or her? â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Third Wheel Out West Dear Third Wheel: Brian seems like a nice, caring person. You have known him for only five months. I vote for standing pat a while longer and making an effort to befriend Allison. If sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s truly as alone as you describe, she could use an older, moreexperienced woman in her life. You might even find you like her rather than feel threatened by her. However, if thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not feasible, you can always cut your losses and run, but not right now.

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.

Boyfriend wants to move in, but I love my alone time

ear Carolyn: I love living alone. I had roommates all four years of college and after I graduated, I shared a house with other women. While I never had a really bad roommate, Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve just never liked having someone else sharing my space. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve lived alone for the last five years and it has been wonderful. With roommates, I hated having to talk any time I saw them, having to ask for permission before having people over, having my stuff moved around, etc. I adore coming home, having it be absolutely quiet and just the way I left it, doing as I please on my weekends, and so on. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve been dating my boyfriend for a year and I love him very much and love his company for the most part. Lately, heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s been asking if Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m interested in moving in together. But I just donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t know. I love being with him. But after a long day at work I just want the option of coming home and not talking to anyone, making whatever I want to eat and not worrying about anyone else. I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t even feel like I sleep as well when I share a bed with my boyfriend; I prefer having sex and then coming home to my own apartment to sleep. Something about being alone truly relaxes me. I worry about this since I do want to be married and have a family, so Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll eventually have to live with another person. Is this something I need therapy for, or will I get over feeling this way someday? â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Loner

Re: Loner: I feel the same way about solitude. Carolyn, could you offer a little more guidance on how to â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;splain to a beloved significant other that as much as I love being together, I love/crave/ need/bask in long hours of solitude as well? We are planning on sharing our lives in the same place, but I worry I wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t find a good compromise in alone versus together time. How can it be done? â&#x20AC;&#x201D; In Solidarity

Loner: Would you please just show him this? Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s so well said.

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

TONIGHT

In Solidarity: Lonerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s explanation was clear, concise, compassionate, perfect. So I suspect what youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re looking for is a bigger answer on whether this is OK, whether anyone will accept you this way, whether you have a right to ask? If so, my answer is, you are who you are, you are fine, you are worthy of love. You may or may not find the person who fits right into your ways, but we all live with that risk, because none of us is guaranteed a fit. All we are guaranteed is the power to be who we are and decide whom we let in. People find their compromises in all kinds of places, with accommodations as small as understandings and as big as separate homes. The important thing is that you say out loud who you are, how you feel and what you need, and hold out for a partner who is willing to hear these things without freaking out. As for whether someone can â&#x20AC;&#x153;get over feeling this way,â&#x20AC;? I think the better question is, can you get conflicting needs met â&#x20AC;&#x201D; solitude and family. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d say yes, imperfectly, with selfknowledge and the right mate.

Continued from Page B1 with that weight. Growing up in Orange County, he went camping with his family. He enjoyed it, and the trips inspired a goal to become a National Geographic photographer. He laughs at his childhood dream and said many kids probably shared the same wish. But Mr. Maag started pursuing his dream from the time he was a teenager. He photographed wildlife and visited National Parks. When he heard about NatureTrack Film Festival, he put it on a short list of festivals he planned on entering. He wishes he could be at the event in person, but he still is excited to be a part of the lineup. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Virtual festivals are new, for sure, but what isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t at this point?â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m hoping people will remain curious. You get to be in your own home yet explore.â&#x20AC;? He said he hopes â&#x20AC;&#x153;10 Miles Outâ&#x20AC;? transports viewers to Los Padres. He describes a scene toward the end of the documentary where the backpackers sit around the fire, music playing in the background. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The scene makes people feel a part of the group. It inspires people,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d be surprised whatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s just 10 miles away.â&#x20AC;?

FYI Previews of all 72 films at the NatureTrack festival are available at naturetrackfilmfestival.org.

Director Jeff McLoughlin â&#x20AC;&#x153;Carrizo Plain: A Sense of Place,â&#x20AC;? directed by Jeff McLoughlin, shows off a San Luis Obispo County location. Located on the other side of Los Padres, Carrizo Plain is one of the last pieces of California grassland remaining. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a microcosm of what California used to look like; that attribute alone made it something I wanted to see,â&#x20AC;? the Santa Barbara filmmaker said. He first visited Carrizo in 2006, during a superbloom year. Yellow and purple flowers colored the landscape with the San Andreas Fault ripping through the center. When the Wildling Museum of Art and Nature in Solvang approached him about making a film about the Carrizo Plain, Mr. McLoughlin excitedly got to work. The museum wanted him to interview a few artists that take inspiration from the plain, and he found three with around 30 years of experience with the landscape. â&#x20AC;&#x153;One of the unique things about documentary filmmaking is youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re drawn to meet people youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d never come across in your dayto-day life,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d have to

say the enjoyment of celebrating the beauty of the Carrizo through these three artists is the most exceptional thing.â&#x20AC;? Whether flying above Carrizo Plain with photographer and pilot Bill Dewey or watching John Iwerks and his wife Chris Chapman paint, Mr. McLoughlin enjoyed the filming process. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The thing about a film like this, when you think about it, youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re telling the story of a piece of land. The artists lend a creative perspective on what makes this place special,â&#x20AC;? he said. To help get the sense of that place, cinematographer Elliott Lowndes used drones to film the Carrizo Plain. They complement Mr. Deweyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s aerial photography. â&#x20AC;&#x153;To really get a sense of what the place is about, you have to get up in the air, whether itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s in a drone or from an airplane,â&#x20AC;? Mr. Lowndes told the News-Press earlier this year. Mr. McLoughlin is glad the NatureTrack Film Festival found a way to share the various directorsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; works, but he misses the in-person experience. He enjoys watching the audience and seeing if he timed the storyline well. This is the first film of his to be accepted by NatureTrack, though heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s submitted previous works. He looks forward to future festivals where he can share his excitement in person. email: ahanshaw@newspress.com
