ViQi receives COVID grant Funds aimed at establishing new ways to fight viral infections By JORGE MERCADO NEWS-PRESS STAFF WRITER

The fight against COVID-19 is one that will continue years to come. Even if a capable vaccine or competent medications to treat it are found, the novel coronavirus is a grim reminder that viruses are always threats to mutate and ruin the current way of life. One company hoping to play a role in combating those future threats is right here in Santa Barbara, ViQi. Earlier this month, ViQi received a special COVID-19 grant from the National Science Foundation in which the company will be using artificial intelligence to accelerate vaccine development. “My reaction was surprised,” ViQi’s Chief Science Officer Dr. Ilya Goldberg told the News-Press. “Not because I didn’t think our grant was worth funding, but because the competition for getting these grants funded, especially a targeted grant like this with the state of the world, the amount of competition is huge.” Dr. Goldberg added that due to his experience, usually less than 10% of National Institutes

While the pandemic remains on the forefront of people’s minds, here on the West Coast, wildfires continue to pose a dangerous threat. Whether it be from breathing in the air that has been filled with smoke the last few weeks or the devastation caused from the fires themselves, help continues to be a need in these trying times. Filling that need on Saturday was the California Pilots Association Disaster Area Response Team and Direct Relief. The two combined to successfully organize an event in which 23 pilots flew their private aircrafts out of the Santa Barbara Municipal Airport and delivered 100,000 KN95 respirators from Direct Relief’s humanitarian distribution center to residents and firefighters in Oregon’s worst-hit fire zones. In addition to the KN95 masks, pilots also delivered wildfire kits, which can treat up to 750 people which include inhalers, antibiotics, irrigation solutions, personal protective equipment for front line workers and more. “I am so thankful to CalDART and their members who pulled off a kind of amazing logistics feat (by) arranging pilots at their own time and expense to mobilize so we can send 100,000 KN95 respirators and thousands

of Health grants receive funding, making this “a great validation.” “This grant really is for a very specific part of the process of developing antivirals, vaccines or drugs,” he said. Specifically, ViQi will use the grant to design and run a series of experiments using machine learning to detect infection in individual cells prior to the formation of plaques. If successful, it would prove that AI can detect differences in these virus-infected cells days or even weeks before a human could prove it. Antivirals and vaccines typically act on the virus outside of the cells to lower infectivity of said cell. For example, vaccines are made to make antibodies, which would coat the virus and prevent it from causing infection. Because of this, cells are used to measure the infectivity of a live virus. “Part of the process is you need to determine the viability of the virus so if you’re attacking the virus with drugs or with a vaccine, you need to measure the effects which is a readout or a virus viability,” Dr. Goldberg explained. “In the early stages, you can’t Please see grant on A3

in communities go through when these fires rip through them.” The masks and PPE are especially important because of the poor air quality in some parts of Oregon. Conditions have improved due to some local rainfall, but the help is still needed and appreciated. “I think the risks caused by

COVID and by wildfires have joined and compounded to make both worse, so masks are a good example. N-95 masks have been chronically short since COVID broke out but they are recommended items for people with respiratory issues from the wildfire smoke,” Mr. Tighe Please see aid on A4 COURTESY PHOTO

More than 20 years after they first opened, Chuckâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Waterfront Grill and The Endless Summer Bar CafĂŠ are permanently closed. On the morning of April 30 the waterfront restaurant announced its closure with a farewell post on its Instagram account. The post read, â&#x20AC;&#x153;It is with heavy hearts that we announce we have closed our doors for good. Thank you for your constant support. The memories will never be forgotten.â&#x20AC;? Despite the current economic chaos due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the prospect of Chuckâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s and Endless Summer ceasing operation dates back to before the outbreak.

Continued from Page A1 do this on humans or animals, youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re going to look at cells for the effectiveness, the grown and incubated cells.â&#x20AC;? Knowing this, scientists use a process called Plaque Assays, in which they would have a live virus, one that is being treated with a possible vaccine or drug and one that is not in order to measure the infectivity of the virus. â&#x20AC;&#x153;You measure what is the effective live virus count in the sample after treatment and basically you dilute out the virus to huge amounts so that you have individual viruses on land on individual cells and have somewhere between 10 and maybe a few hundred infections.â&#x20AC;? Eventually, the virus will leave behind a â&#x20AC;&#x153;ring of deathâ&#x20AC;? or stain showing its infectivity, as scientists would then measure the live and dead cells. This process could take anywhere from two to 14 days. What Dr. Goldberg and ViQi would like to do instead is detect the first infectious event. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This is still an experiment, we havenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t shown an AI can tell this difference. Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s indications it would but we donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t know yet. The idea is that if it can tell the difference between a cell that has been turned into a virus factory versus a normal cell, then you can detect the initial infectious event and that will save you all of the time of these multiple rounds of infections,â&#x20AC;? Dr. Goldberg said. Suddenly a process that takes days and even weeks would suddenly be reduced to taking just a few hours. Considering how many vaccines and different antivirals are being tested right now to combat COVID-19, this would be a huge breakthrough. According to CEO Kathy Yeung, this breakthrough would also give scientists the opportunity to conduct High Content Analysis, a technology imaging process that is used heavily in the pharmaceutical industry. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Currently they canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t use that technology because of the fact that assay plaque says the cells die because it takes too long. It takes us two to 14 days.

Dr. Ilya Goldberg is the Chief Science Officer for ViQi, which recently received a special grant which they will use to attempt to prove that artificial intelligence can accelerate vaccine development by speeding up the process of plaque assays.

because as a company here, we are looking at that and already doing so applying AI to that type of instrumentation,â&#x20AC;? Ms. Yeung said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It was an opportunity, because weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re already working in that area to apply it to virology, to not only make a faster assay but to make the plaque assay compatible with this HCA platform,â&#x20AC;? Dr. Goldberg added. Dr. Goldberg said it would only take a few months to see if this AI experiment is a viable and effective option. According to Ms. Yeung, the experiments will be conducted at Charles River Laboratories. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re going to do the infections and take the images and send us the images and then weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re going to build the AIâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s to see if they can differentiate themselves,â&#x20AC;? Dr. Goldberg said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;And weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll be able to tell fairly quickly because our AI tools are fairly mature, so we can run a routinely good, well-curated set of images through them and get an answer of whether or not our AI can differentiate between the groups.â&#x20AC;? Dr. Goldberg has been working with HCA and believed in the role this technology could play nearly two decades ago. For years, it was not understood, but now this grant proves that people believe in the potential. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s definitely satisfying, but

I would say I thought it would happen a lot sooner, like even sooner than 10 years,â&#x20AC;? Dr. Goldberg said with a laugh. â&#x20AC;&#x153;But thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the thing you always hear but this is five years in the future and five years in the future is almost as good as never right? It always takes longer than you think so actually getting there is very satisfying, because, you know, a lot of times you never get there.â&#x20AC;? And again, the most important thing about this process, if successful, is that it can help combat COVID and future viral threats. â&#x20AC;&#x153;If you take a broad view of this, the kinds of antivirals we have are nowhere near antibiotics, there really is no equivalent. To a large extent we conquered bacterial disease, with some exceptions, but viral disease is kind of an undiscovered country. The only tool we have really are vaccines, they are so highly tuned to a particular virus which is why you need a different one every year for the flu,â&#x20AC;? Dr. Goldberg said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;A lot of people predicted respiratory viruses are a thing we really need to worry about so the tool development that we are in the infancy of is very much going to be a part of our future. We never got to the virus, but the development of antivirals tools and drugs is something we need to redouble our efforts in.â&#x20AC;? email: jmercado@newspress.com

Some 23 pilots flew their private aircrafts out of the Santa Barbara Municipal Airport Saturday and delivered much-needed supplies from Direct Relief’s humanitarian distribution center to residents and firefighters in Oregon’s worst-hit fire zones.

Continued from Page A1 explained. “So, I think, trying to work with the public health officials in the response and mobilizing private resources and making sure they’re putting those things in the right hands and use them for the right reasons is difficult.” Getting those resources to Eugene, Oregon, was made easier, however, thanks to CalDART. Volunteer pilots began loading their planes as early as 8 a.m. and continued until around 2 p.m. when all planes had left. “It was a lot of work. In a logistics organization you have to get all the details straight. We have today 23 pilots with things to fly and we had another 40 or 50 that were talking to us hoping that they could fly so there’s a lot of details to arrange,” Paul Marshall, President of CalDART, told the News-Press. Mr. Marshall said he was first presented with this opportunity to help out earlier this week. He said he received a call from a pair of Direct Relief staffers. “They heard about CalDART and they said they had a big need. They weren’t sure when it was but it was big and happening fast and then they asked if we could help getting stuff from Santa Barbara to Eugene, Oregon,” he said.

According to Mr. Marshall, of the 54,000 pilots in California, CalDART has close connections with over 200 pilots and, usually, if they send out information about an opportunity to help, those pilots can contact others. As a result, people with all types of personal planes, whether they be small and compact or big and plentiful, lent a huge hand. “It is all helpful and we gave them all something to fly and sent them off,” Mr. Marshall said. “The volunteers are so excited, we are a volunteer organization so people want to help in a time of need. Everybody sees this is one of the worst years we’ve ever had and people are so glad that there’s something tangible they can do to help out.” CalDART has existed for about two years as a corporation but it has been going for about 11 years and Mr. Marshall has been along for the ride. This year in particular, he said they have been providing a lot of COVID-19 relief. “It’s a weekly thing, we have been donating face shields and also got involved helping take a public domain, automatic bag valve ventilators, we are helping a builder build it and getting it out to people who could use it, so five of those are in Mexico right now that we have distributed,” he said.

local volunteers from Reach Out WorldWide, an organization which has close ties to Direct Relief and Santa Barbara. Reach Out WorldWide is a nonprofit organization that was founded in 2010 by Paul Walker, a longtime Mesa resident and former “Fast and Furious” star. Mr. Walker died in late 2013 following a tragic car crash. Reach Out WorldWide is now run by his brother, Cody, who was very appreciative of the help received on Saturday. “Having lived in Oregon and having so many friends and ROWW volunteers up there directly affected by this fire, it’s really personal for us to be able to help out,” Cody said in a press release. “Especially the rural communities — they’re strong and they’re resilient — but right now they need help. Huge thanks to Direct Relief for answering this plea and assisting ROWW in a big way to get critical supplies to those who need it now.” For Mr. Tighe, being able to

provide assistance is always special. “We need more of this these days. Bad news is very easy to find,” he said. “But this is a good reminder that there’s so many great people who want to help each other out and today’s a perfect expression of that, with a terrific group of pilots using their aircraft, so we’re quite honored and quite inspired by what the pilots have done.” Santa Barbara is also no stranger to the danger of wildfires. The Thomas Fire in December 2017 caused a lot of destruction locally and led to the Montecito mudslides in January 2018 which led to the deaths of over 20 civilians. “It adds extra meaning, because your heart breaks for these people. It’s deeply upsetting to go through, it’s deeply upsetting to see other people have to go through it, but it’s very good to try to help them and let them know that there are a lot of people who are pulling for them,” Mr. Tighe

Continued from Page A1 judge, Judge Floresâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; biggest order of business as a judicial liaison is helping other local courts do what he did late in his judicial career. That is, starting a high-risk DUI treatment court like the one he helped start locally in 2018. Speaking to the News-Press, the judge said that in traditional DUI cases where thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s no property damage, injury, or loss of life, a defendant is placed in court probation with very minimal supervision. There is, however, a sizable number of â&#x20AC;&#x153;high-riskâ&#x20AC;? people arrested in DUI cases who require more supervision and treatments. These people, he said, are often alcoholics, many of them also struggling with other co-occurring

issues like mental illness or drug use. Seeing a need to steer nonviolent DUI offenders away from prison, which he believes should be reserved for violent individuals who are truly a danger to society, Judge Flores helped start the Santa Barbara Superior Courtâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s high-risk DUI treatment court. When defendants are found guilty of a DUI, this court puts them through a program more rigorous than the regular education program one would normally undergo. Whereas the ordinary education program doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t include treatments for substance abuse, the high-risk DUI courtâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s program does. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s treatment pathways include Alcoholics Anonymous, rehab, and mental health treatment. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We have a lot of tools in our

arsenal and we would use every single one of them,â&#x20AC;? he recalled of the program. The judge remarked that without such a program providing these resources, most high-risk DUI offenders would commit the same offense again. Starting the court that heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s now working to help other localities establish came out of his personal judicial philosophy. This philosophy is, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Letâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s fix the problem. Letâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not make the justice system the revolving door itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s been for so long.â&#x20AC;? Lately, Judge Flores has been caught in what he called â&#x20AC;&#x153;Zoom meeting land,â&#x20AC;? getting introduced to stakeholders in the localities that he is going to assist with setting up a high-risk DUI court. When he helps judicial officers in other parts of California develop best practices for their

DUI courts, Judge Flores will not simply copy the work that he did for the Santa Barbara Superior Court because what worked best in Santa Barbara County might not be whatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s best for another county. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I would never presume that one size fits all and that what works in one court will work in another court,â&#x20AC;? he said. Considering that some of the jurisdictions heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s collaborating with are currently dealing with deadly wildfires on top of handling COVID-19, so Judge Flores called the project heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s working on with them â&#x20AC;&#x153;small potatoes.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;I pray that these days will get better for all of us and when it does, we can hit the ground running,â&#x20AC;? he said.

onald Sterling must have used King Tutâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s tomb as the litter box for a black cat when he owned the accursed Los Angeles Clippers. His 33 years running the NBAâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s most bedeviled sports franchise ended in 2014 when the league bounced him for racist comments. But basketballâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s curse of the Clippers didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t leave with him. TNT analyst Reggie Miller raved about the teamâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s acquisitions of superstars Kawhi Leonard and Paul George last summer. He raged, however, after they blew a 3-to-1 series lead to Denver this week. The Clippers were eliminated from the playoffs after fumbling away double-digit leads in each of the last three contests. Theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re now 0-for-8 in games that couldâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve advanced them to a conference final. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The Clippersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; curse is real,â&#x20AC;? Miller howled. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I was led astray. I was hoodwinked. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve been bamboozled. I was led to believe the Clippers.â&#x20AC;? So were most NBA pundits. And they were infatuated with the prospect of a La-La Land Western Conference final that wouldâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve pitted the Clippers and Lakers this weekend. But the Clipsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; collapse couldâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve been predicted 11 months ago

The Clippers traded Shai Gilgeous-Alexander, Danilo Gallinari and five first-round picks to acquire Paul George, right, from the Oklahoma City Thunder last summer.

â&#x20AC;&#x201D; as soon as Sports Illustrated came out with its NBA Preview edition. The most jinxed cover in the history of journalism showed Leonard and George with four of their new Clipper teammates. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Welcome to the Reinvention,â&#x20AC;? the headline read. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Inside the Clippers Extreme Makeover.â&#x20AC;? The cover of Sports Illustrated had jinxed better teams than this. The hex began with the very first edition of August 16, 1954, when it put Milwaukee Braves slugger Eddie Mathews on the cover. The Braves had just won 20 of 22 games to get into the thick of the National League pennant race. Mathews, who was only five years out of Santa Barbara High School at the time, hit 10 home runs during that stretch.

But right when the first S.I. hit the magazine racks, Chicago Cubs pitcher Hal Jeffcoat hit Mathews on the hand with a fastball to split open his middle finger. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It bled like a stuck pig,â&#x20AC;? Mathews once recalled. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I was out of the lineup for 13 days. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I missed our series against the Giants and Dodgers, the two clubs ahead of us in the standings. I didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t return until Labor Day weekend.â&#x20AC;? The Braves fell out of the race and the Giants wound up sweeping the Cleveland Indians in the World Series. Countless other cursed cover boys and girls were to follow. Wikipedia lists 172 incidents of the S.I. jinx, including this weekâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Clipper catastrophe.

UCSB appoints new police chief By MITCHELL WHITE NEWS-PRESS ASSOCIATE EDITOR

Alex Yao has been appointed as the UCSB Police Departmentâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s new chief of police. A current captain in UC Berkeleyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Police Department, Capt. Yao will begin his new role during the early part of the fall quarter. His appointment was announced Wednesday following a nationwide search and â&#x20AC;&#x153;extensive consultation with faculty, staff and students from our campus community,â&#x20AC;? said Andrea Estrada, spokeswoman for UCSB. He will work closely with the campusâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; Police Advisory Board, chaired by Professors Geoffrey Raymond and Sharon Tettegah. He will also work â&#x20AC;&#x153;the broader campus community to build community partnerships, review policing policies, enhance the transparency of operations, improve interactions with the community, further the mission and values of our University, and create a welcoming and safe living and learning environment,â&#x20AC;? said Vice Chancellor for Administrative Services Garry Mac Pherson in a message to the campus. He joins the UCSB Police Department with 28 years of service with the University of California, the majority of which has been spent on the Berkeley campus. He began his career in public safety as an undergraduate at Berkeley, serving as a Cal Watch Volunteer and Community Service Officer. After graduating, Capt. Yao continued serving the university and became the second-highest ranking officer in the department.

UCSB officials praised Capt. Yao for his commitment to community service and engagement, as well as his work in building partnerships with stakeholders to strengthen his departmentâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s relationship with the community. â&#x20AC;?We look forward to the experience and leadership he will bring to further the same goals on the UC Santa Barbara campus,â&#x20AC;? Vice Chancellor Mac Pherson said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We are grateful to all those community members who participated in the search for our new chief of police and provided valuable input and advice. I specifically want to thank the faculty, staff and student members of the search advisory committee, who, despite the challenges posed by the COVID-19 pandemic, remained dedicated to the process that began in winter quarter.â&#x20AC;? The appointment was announced 12 days after a NewsPress report regarding a sexual assault and battery lawsuit filed against the now-former interim Chief James Brock, UC Regents and other members of the department. The lawsuit alleges that on Aug. 3, 2019, the plaintiff, who was a 19-year-old student and employee of the university, was getting lunch at the De La Guerra Dining Commons on the UCSB campus when Chief Brock â&#x20AC;&#x153;came up behind her, grabbed her buttocks, slid his hand up her back and whispered in her earâ&#x20AC;? while in uniform, according to the complaint. When reached for comment, Ms. Estrada issued the following statement to the News-Press:

â&#x20AC;&#x153;We are aware of the complaint in which an employee tripped and fell into another employee in a busy dining commons. Both an external investigator for the University and an external law enforcement agency conducted separate investigations of the claims when they first arose. The multiple investigations did not substantiate the allegations. The University will allow the process to move forward and we trust the court system will reach the correct conclusion.â&#x20AC;? As pointed out in a recent report by the group Gauchos 4 Transparency, the most recent litigation marks the seventh lawsuit filed against UCSBPD. The report by the group of UCSB students calling for accountability and transparency at the university noted Capt. Yaoâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s community outreach, including when he brought 4,500 toys to victims of the 2018 Camp Fire. The report also outlined several â&#x20AC;&#x153;less upliftingâ&#x20AC;? instances surrounding the captainâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s past. A 2010 incident involved Capt. Yao, then a lieutenant, acting as the UCPD spokesperson after campus police violated the Clearly Act, which requires college and universities to keep a public log recording all crimes within 60 days. Capt. Yao has also been involved with the Occupy Cal protests and has been linked to reports of other violent altercations in 2009 and 2011, according to the report. He has also been named in two lawsuits, including one in September 2017 as part of a First and Fourteenth Amendment case which involved campus administration preventing

conservative pundits David Horowitz and Ann Coulter from giving talks on campus. A second lawsuit, which was dismissed with prejudice in April 2020, accused the UC Board of Regents and Capt. Yao of creating a hostile work environment. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Changing the leadership will not change the culture at UCPD. It has failed countless times and will continue to. This is an issue with everyone within UCPD. UCSB did not even publicly address the previous lawsuits. All I have received from administration is that â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;we are deeply upset about this situation as well.â&#x20AC;&#x2122; These are the people who can actually enact administrative change.

called the residue of design. But injuries at the worst of times have also bled the Clippers like Mathewsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; proverbial pig. They were up 2-0 on Memphis in the 2014 playoffs when star Blake Griffin went down. The Clippers plummeted, as well, in the next four games. They were up 2-0 again against Portland in 2016 when Griffin, Chris Paul and Austin Rivers all got hurt. Four straight losses again followed. The third time was the harm when Griffin injured himself again during the 2017 playoffs. The Clippers decided to reboot by booting both him and Paul after the season. But Microsoft CEO Steve Ballmer, who bought the Clippers for $2 billion in 2014, is still banking on beating the curse. He made Doc Rivers one of the NBAâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s highest-paid coaches. He also forked out enough for a new arena in Inglewood that will get them unStapled from the Lakers in 2024. He then outbid the Lakers for Leonard, a two-time NBA Finals MVP, and traded away the teamâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s future to get George from Oklahoma City. The Clippers were tired of waiting for their first NBA title. They mightâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve jinxed themselves, however, with the marketing bluster that followed. They trash-talked the Lakers with slogans such as â&#x20AC;&#x153;L.A. Our Wayâ&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;Ś â&#x20AC;&#x153;Driven Over Givenâ&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;Ś â&#x20AC;&#x153;We Over Meâ&#x20AC;?â&#x20AC;Ś â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re taking over L.A.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;Ś â&#x20AC;&#x153;New Sheriff in Town.â&#x20AC;? But the Clippersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; two hired guns had only blanks in their clips when High Noon arrived

during Tuesdayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s fourth quarter. Leonard and George missed all 11 of their shot attempts and finished with a combined 24 points in a season-ending, 10489 loss. LeBron James was asked if he was disappointed in the Lakersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; own miss: the chance to â&#x20AC;&#x153;settleâ&#x20AC;? matters between L.A.â&#x20AC;&#x2122;s two NBA teams. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Nah,â&#x20AC;? he replied. â&#x20AC;&#x153;What were we settling?â&#x20AC;? He does know about jinxes. James became the subject of Sports Illustratedâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 2018-19 NBA Preview cover after leaving Cleveland for L.A. The headline read, â&#x20AC;&#x153;The Kingâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Gambit.â&#x20AC;? James wound up missing the NBA Finals for the first time since 2009-10. The Lakers have enjoyed good fortune for a long time. How else do you explain getting Wilt Chamberlain, Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, Kobe Bryant and Pau Gasol in lopsided trades? Or being able to draft Magic Johnson or James Worthy even after posting some of the NBAâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s best records. Those legacies are also what led Shaq and LeBron to L.A. But Leonard decided to fashion his own legacy in the City of Angels. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m sure Kawhi wants to take the challenge of winning independent of playing with LeBron,â&#x20AC;? Bryant said a few months before dying in a helicopter crash. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Maybe that was the same for P.G. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I think they relish the challenge of taking on something new.â&#x20AC;? The curse they must overcome, however, is older than they are. email: mpatton@newspress.com

gUEST OPINION

Prop. 15: The last nail in the 2020 coffin

ake no mistake about it. Santa Barbara County Supervisors Greg Hart, Das Williams and Joan Hartman represent government, not the people. In the throes of one of the worst economic crises in the history of America, they are campaigning for Prop. 15, the largest tax hike in California history. Proposition 15 represents a humongous tax increase that could not come at a worse time for anyone. Brick-and-mortar businesses have a hard enough time competing with internet-based businesses in normal times, let alone in a year when they were forced to close their doors because they were deemed “nonessential.” Now they will be facing sky-high rent increases as a tenant, or property taxes as a business owner, if Prop. 15 passes. Most businesses won’t survive because their typical 3-5% profit margin in a good year is insufficient to pay this exorbitant tax increase. 2020 brought us the horrid state bill AB5, which eliminated upwards of one million independent contractor and gig-

Then came the Regardless, mom-and-pop COVID-19 shutdown and relief bill, business owners, including family which cost our economy trillions farms, will be hit the hardest. of dollars in lost jobs and obscene That is, this measure doesn’t just levels of government debt. increase the taxes on “buildings,” Now we have these supervisors it also taxes “improvements” campaigning for Prop. 15, which on farms including fruit and will raise California property citrus trees, vineyards, irrigation taxes by a whopping $12 billion systems, fences and barns! a year, resulting in an Prop. 15, therefore, estimated $72 billion hit represents an to our economy. unmitigated disaster for The Santa Barbara local farmers.

Without this Vote NO.” protection, most property owners Moreover, let me speak to the will lose their property. Either big lie that businesses have been that, or property values will “free loading” since Prop. 13 was plummet altogether. passed.

The truth is, businesses have been forced to pay millions of dollars in “fees” to pay for the impacts of creating commerce and jobs! For instance, locally, before opening, a new 7/11 convenience store would be forced to pay over $600,000 in traffic fees. Finally, let’s be perfectly clear. The proponents of Prop 15 have publicly stated that they have a three-part strategy to eventually eliminate Prop. 13 in its entirety. That is, if they can rescind Prop. 13 protections for farmers, retailers, industrialists and commercial property owners via Prop. 15, they will return with a second measure to eliminate Prop. 13 for apartment buildings. After that, they will seek to eliminate Prop. 13 for residential homeowners, meaning every owner and renter will incur everincreasing costs going forward. All this because in California, local and state governments have incurred $1 trillion in debt and deficits by way of their own misfeasance.

DRAWING BOARD

News-Press endorsements

he Santa Barbara News-Press 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. • Proposition 14 (Bonds): No. • Proposition 15 (Taxes): No. • Proposition 16 (Affirmative Action): No. • Proposition 17 (Suffrage): No. • Proposition 18 (Suffrage): No. • Proposition 19 (Taxes): No. • Proposition 20 (Law Enforcement): Yes. • Proposition 21 (Housing): No. • Proposition 22 (Business): Yes. • Proposition 23 (Healthcare): No. • Proposition 24 (Business): No. • Proposition 25 (Trials): No.

Will COVID-19 affect Trump and Newsom? ‘You can say whatever you want before Jan. 1 of an election year, because almost no one will remember.” — Tom Quinn, then campaign manager for ex-Gov. Jerry Brown, 1978

ttention spans were already short 42 years ago, and they have become far shorter since, especially in this era of lightning-fast news cycles often moved by Twitter and Facebook. That reality has been a life preserver for many politicians, both in California and nationally, since Mr. Quinn first voiced it. But the truism is due for a big test in this era of the coronavirus crisis. American society, especially life in California, has rarely been disrupted so comprehensively as during the last six months.

President Trump told governors that it’s up to them to get as many hospital ventilators and create as many new hospital beds as they could find, leaving the national stockpile of medical equipment untouched for weeks. He delayed assigning key tasks to the Army Corps of Engineers, uniquely equipped to help with them. “I am not responsible,” he declared.

who advocates for: • Occupational rights in the boardroom, fields, kitchens and classrooms. • Environmental justice and the right to clean air, water and food free from toxins spewed by big corporate industries. • Housing and tenant rights and understands the challenges today’s workers face just to live in our district. • Respect and protection of all individuals, but especially our black, immigrant, trans, elderly, disabled and undocumented community members. • Pathways to residency and citizenship and respect of immigrants and refugees. • Workers who depend on their employment not just for income, but insurance and benefits too. • Pay equity and acknowledges how black and Latino/Latina residents continue to be paid less than their white counterparts While Mr. Cole emerged as the frontrunner following the March election, we have time to change the results in November. I urge our community to register to vote (https://registertovote. ca.gov); review the classist, xenophobic and ignorant policies that Mr. Cole believes https:// www.coleforassembly.com/issues; and discuss what matters to you and why with your community; connect (virtually) about what matters and what is at stake if someone like Charles Cole wins the election. 2020 is the year of virtual classrooms and graduations, the year of “don’t forget your phone, keys and mask.” It is the year the presidential administration questioned science, epidemiology and the value of American lives, and we proclaimed, “not my president.” This year, we saw how a legacy of centuries of white supremacy plays out in our everyday lives. This year, millions of Americans lost their jobs, and consequently, their health insurance too. 2020 was the year our favorite businesses closed, and farm workers were forced to continue to work under already toxic conditions in the midst of a global pandemic and climate-change driven fires. 2020 is not the year that we elect Charles Cole to lead us. The Central Coast needs a leader for the future — one who understands how the challenges of our country’s past continue to transcend our district but believes that united, we can prepare for a just, equitable world. The Central Coast does not need Charles Cole.

the necessary infrastructure. One solution could be that these housing nonprofits pay their fair share just like Sacramento is asking of corporations. Since they are the biggest landowners in Santa Barbara, where does the collected rent go? Why are the citizens subsidizing them? Prop. 13 is not the cause for the lack of funds; the socialized housing promoted by the government that does not pay property taxes contributes in large part to this dearth of funds. We must come together to help each other protect ourselves from these state and county officials who are coming after us with Prop. 15. We voted them in, we can vote them out. Casual and naive voting is ruining our country. Vote NO on Prop. 15. Everyone knows our new Montecito neighbor, Prince Harry and his wife Meghan, just inked a $150 million deal with Netflix. Everyone knows that Netflix is justifying their pornographic release, “Cuties,” which normalizes and promotes sexuality for 11-year-old girls. The new normal? And then last week state Sen. Scott Weiner’s bill SB145 was signed with no comment by California Gov. Gavin Newsom. SB145 protects a 24-year-old from facing any charges, for having “consensual” sex with a 14-year-old. No longer does the perverted pedophile have to register as a sex offender. What 14-year-old would know the consequences of such a sexual encounter? So how could they possibly consent to having sex with someone 10 years older? Our elected officials are paving the way to normalize perversions, while their

constituents are treated as nothing but human fodder. Our society has always protected our youth from sexual exploitation until now. Welcome Roman Polansky? But we digress, back to Harry and his Californian wife brokering a deal with Netflix, a company that will prostitute children and further this degradation of our society. This is akin to the Invictus Games using children as spare parts for the depravity of those who champion the film as an expose. What garbage! The filmmaker watched 600 little girls “twerk” in order to choose the cast. Talk about the casting couch. Again, where are the Me Too Movement women? Where? We know where Harvey Weinstein is. Are all the children being groomed for sexual pleasure? Our Santa Barbara Unified School District board just voted to add “Teen Talk” as part of the junior high curriculum. It teaches “... if it feels good, do it.” Has applied condoms instruction superseded Applied Physics? Whatever happened to reading, writing and arithmetic, let alone teaching empathy, morality, freedom and selfrespect? Who raised the children who are now destroying the towns and threatening our lives?

3 to 2 in favor of supporting Proposition 15. For those who don’t know, Proposition 15 is being sold as an equalizer for corporations to pay their fair share. However, it is aimed at all commercial ventures with a market value of $3 million, of which many are privately owned. That could be two or three locally owned rental properties. The claim is that the government entities are not sufficiently funded and lack the money they would have in their coffers to spend if it were not for the Prop. 13 tax relief that was voted in 42 years ago by Californians. For decades, Prop. 13 has prevented people from losing their family homes and businesses. It also protected the elderly, living on fixed incomes so they would not be taxed out of their residence. Prop. 13 also required a two-thirds vote before the government could increase any of our taxes. And that is why they are now calling “more taxes” by other names – “in-lieu-fees,” “assessments,” “fees,” etc. — in order to confuse the voter. One of the reasons for shortfalls of funding lies with the fact that both the city and the county own vast real estate holdings that have been taken off the tax rolls, and therefore, they do not pay property tax. Although the infrastructure and services are provided by the city and county including schools, roads, public works fixes, emergency services, they also do not contribute their fair share — in fact, nothing — to

letters to the news-press Education crucial for helping blacks

he subject of race today is a deeply divided, emotionalladen issue. After years of unrelenting discrimination, blacks are out of patience, enraged over racial justice long delayed. One wonders if the demand for justice is so deep and embedded as to preclude any long-term solution. Previous attempts at reconciliation were largely unsuccessful. For example, in an attempt to improve black-white relations, busing was instituted with minimal results after several years of trials. During a similar period, a social phenomenon called “white flight” occurred, in which middle class whites moved to the suburbs, ostensibly to escape the squalor, crime and poverty of the inner city. Did whites relocate because of widespread prejudice or were they simply looking for a better environment in which to raise their families? Why the lack of social and racial progress in the last half century? Despite the fact that slavery ended 157 years ago and civil rights legislation has been in effect for 55 years, people of color have remained at the

Since the emergency declaration, President Trump’s approval rating in various polls has ranged from 42 percent to 47 percent, with his disapproval ratings consistently registering higher. Those numbers are consistent with President Trump’s pre-virus ratings, suggesting he has not been hurt by either his steadfast downplaying of coronavirus dangers or his administration’s

bottom of the socio-economic scale. Most of our black population, especially those in the inner city, have been caught in a never-ending cycle of repression and joblessness. With little hope for a future, they live marginal, disadvantaged lives. It is crucial at the current time that the white community understands and responds to the anger and lingering resentment of the black community. Progress in blackwhite relationships will occur when the white community (1) assumes responsibility for past acts of racism and (2) makes sure blacks are afforded the same educational and occupational opportunities as whites. With a long history of functioning at the bottom of the all-important socio-economic scale, it is vitally important that people of color take an active role in the development and attainment of occupational skills. It is through the medium of education that allows people of all races to climb the socioeconomic ladder and compete equally and successfully for jobs. The importance of education cannot be overemphasized, for it is the sine qua non of a successful, independent life. It is imperative that black parents take a proactive role

in education by engaging their children in a nightly regimen of home study, conducted throughout their preteen and teenage years. It is only through an early focus on the value of education that people of color will be able to bridge the socio-economic gap and obtain the necessary skills to compete successfully for jobs and independency.

failure to handle the pandemic. They also suggest his falsehoodtolerant base of support has not been reduced by the virus or any incompetence in fighting it. Despite noisy protests, meanwhile, poll results suggest Gov. Newsom’s almost daily briefings leave him just about as popular as before the virus hit hard. No one knows whether most voters will remember anything he’s done by the time his reelection bid rolls around in 2022. By then, the state will be dealing with a huge budget crunch. If the voting public’s evershortening attention span and

its abbreviated memory prove politically life-saving for Mr. Trump, Gov. Newsom may eventually get similar treatment. Meanwhile, if President Trump should lose this fall, it might just be because his viral missteps came after Jan. 1 of this election year.

OBITUARIES / WEATHER

SUNDAY, SEPTEMBER 20, 2020

WINN, Peter Peter James Hamilton Winn, born on January 26, 1961 in Dorset, England, passed away on Sunday, August 23, 2020 at Santa Barbara Cottage Hospital where he was cared for by the angels in Compton 1. Peter was diagnosed in early 2020 with Multiple Myeloma, and staged a courageous battle against this vicious blood cancer. Having studied arboriculture at Merrist Wood College in Guildford, England, Peter was recruited by Griffin Tree and Landscape in 1983 to come and work in Santa Barbara. Falling in love with Santa Barbara and meeting Jan, Peter decided to stay. For over 30 years, Peter owned and managed Westree Arborist Services in Santa Barbara. In 1992 Peter and Jan welcomed their only daughter Allison into the world. Describing Peter as gregarious would be an understatement. Always a smile, always a laugh or witty joke, always there to lend a hand or loan a friend something from his sporting-goods garage. Peter was an avid motorcycle rider and kept fit through paddle boarding and kick-boxing. Since 2008, Peter participated in twelve different Friendship Paddle events to support an honoree experiencing a lifethreatening disease. He is the honoree in September of this year. The true loves of his life were his wife Jan and daughter Ally, and they called Carpinteria home. Peter lived a big life with his family, traveling often and never taking for granted any experience he was offered. Peter is preceded in death by his mother and father, Mary and Eric Winn, and brother, Michael Winn. He is survived by his wife Janice and daughter Allison, brothers David and Robin Winn (Angelika Pelzer). In lieu of flowers, please consider a donation to Ridley-Tree Cancer Center. A Celebration of Life will be planned for Spring, 2021.

Robert married his love Rosalie at Lady of Sorrows Catholic Church. Their wedding was officiated by Father Morris. Robert’s old saying was “One Women, One Man for a life time.” That’s how it was for 48 years. He was a great Dad and great Grandpa.

JACKSON, Robert David October 3, 1927-September 6, 2020

Robert David Jackson, a pioneer in the alternative dairy business died peacefully at the age of ninety-two on September 6th. Robert was born in New York City in 1927 to Harold Jackson and Dorothy (Ecker) Jackson. He attended Blair Academy in Blairstown, New Jersey and matriculated to Stanford University in 1945. Robert moved from Los Angeles to Santa Barbara in the early 1960s. During the last twenty years, he lived with his wife Carol on their beloved ranch in the Santa Ynez Valley. Long before there were multiple varieties of milk in the supermarket dairy case, the family owned and operated Meyenberg Goat Milk Products, a company dedicated to making and distributing goat’s milk worldwide. Robert, (as many of his children would as well) suffered from asthma. His father Harold was relentless in trying to find things to help his young son breathe. He came across two solutions around the same time. He moved his family out of congested, polluted New York City to the healthier shores of California and he discovered the medicinal properties of goat’s milk. When Robert drank goat’s milk, his asthma was greatly improved. In 1934, his father formed a partnership with Los Angeles businessman Ed Mitchell creating Meyenberg Goat Milk Products. It was a relationship that would span for three generations until the sale of the company in 2017. For many years, the product was primarily used in the same way Harold had used it for Robert, to help those with asthma and allergy sensitivities. This was long before the term lactose intolerant was tossed around. Robert was married for the first time in 1948, to Joan Miles and they had a daughter Linda. That marriage would end in divorce. He was married to Beverly Jacobson in 1956, and in 1958 they had a daughter Tracey. This marriage also would not survive. In 1964, he married Carol Fuller Jones and a lifelong love/work partnership was formed. Their daughter Wendy was born in 1970. With Carol by his side, Robert was able to transform Meyenberg into a globally relevant and deeply respected healthy food company. The Jacksons were able to ride the wave of what would turn into the healthconscious generation’s seemingly endless need for cow’s milk alternative products. Robert ran Meyenberg from his early twenties until he was eighty-eight years old when he sold it to Swiss dairy food giant The Emmi Group. Despite his great success in business, Robert knew how to enjoy life. He was an avid horseman from the time he was young up until he was a very old man. He loved to fly fish, travel, and for many years enjoyed his second residence in Santa Fe, New Mexico. Inspired by his love for the South West, he became a passionate collector of Native American artifacts. Robert was a most excellent storyteller. This is an undisputed fact among both family and friends. He took great pride in his family and was a devoted father, grandfather and great-grandfather. But life was not all work and play for Robert Jackson. For many years he was a parishioner at All Saints-by-the-Sea Church in Montecito as well as a dedicated member of the Solvang Rotary. He served on the board of the Rona Barrett Foundation. Together he and Carol developed The Robert and Carol Jackson Foundation, where they contributed to charities such as Cottage Hospital, Westmont College, Mount Hermon Christian Center and The Young America’s Foundation. They donated a library to Rona Barrett’s Golden Inn and Village, among many other charitable contributions over the years. Robert Jackson is survived by his wife of fifty-six years Carol, children Linda Jackson Pitz, Tracey Jackson, Wendy Buscaglia, Robert Jones, Leslie Jones, Tracy Darrimon, and Kelly Delany. He has fourteen grandchildren and nine great-grandchildren. Due to COVID 19 restrictions a Memorial to celebrate his life will take place at a later date. In lieu of flowers a donation in his name can be made to the Rona Barrett Foundation or any of the charities above. Arrangements by Welch-Ryce-Haider.

MERENBACH, Alice T. 2/21/1936 – 8/31/2020

It is with profound sadness that the family of Alice T. Merenbach announces her passing August 31, 2020 in her Bakersfield home, after a long illness. Alice was born on February 21, 1936 in Puerto Rico, were her father was working as a teacher. Alice grew up in Santa Monica, California and graduated in 1953 from Venice High School. She spent a year at Mexico City College in Mexico City where she became fluent in the Spanish language. Returning to California, she attended U.C.L.A graduating in 1960 with a minor in Sociology and a Bachelors in Spanish. She worked as a Social Worker in Los Angeles County for three years then decided on a career change and entered Loyola Law School of Los Angeles in 1963. It was in law school that she met her husband Dennis Merenbach and they were married on December 20, 1964. She was awarded scholastic scholarships for her three years at school and graduated with a JD degree in 1966. In the fall of 1966, on a trip to Santa Barbara, she saw the famous Court House and walked into the District Attorney’s Office on Figueroa Street. The then District Attorney, Vern B. Thomas, talked to her and hired her as the first women Deputy District Attorney in the history of Santa Barbara County. In 1966 there were only 10,000 women attorneys in the entire United States. Alice was proud of the fact that today there are 400,000 woman attorneys who make up 1 out of every 3 attorneys in the United States. In 1972 Alice was admitted to the Supreme Court of the United States in Washington D.C. as a personal appearance was mandatory. It was a great event in her life being introduced to the Supreme Court sitting “en banc” with 15 men and introduced by the Solicitor General as “gentlemen and Mrs. Merenbach, I introduce you to the Supreme Court of the United States.” She was only one of 400 women then admitted to practice before the Supreme Court of the United States. After her divorce from Dennis Merenbach she entered the private practice of law specializing in family law, probate, wills and Trusts and general legal matters. In 2000, she moved to Bakersfield to retire after deciding life is much more than work. Retired from the bar, bored with retirement, she worked for H&R Block as an enrolled agent for 20 plus years. Alice had a passion for Bridge and became a Life Master, while playing at the Bridge Center in Santa Barbara. Alice also enjoyed travel. She visited all fifty states, and all seven continents. Alice was preceded in death by her father William J. Thacker, her mother Alice L. Thacker, and her sister Dorothy Thacker Borland, and is survived by her children, son Michael, his wife Vickie, daughter Ogden, and brother William J. Thacker Jr. At her request, there will be no celebration of her life, but she will be remembered by the many who knew her.

5/16/1959 - 8/4/2020

It is with deepest sorrow and in loving memory that we announce the death of John Edwin Ramos, which occurred on August 4, 2020 in Santa Barbara, CA. John Ramos was born on May 16, 1959 and grew up in Dangriga, Belize. He attended the University of Notre Dame and graduated with two masters degrees before settling in Santa Barbara. In 1996, he founded Emmaus of Santa Barbara, a nonprofit, educational organization committed to empowering young people to break the cycles of abuse, violence, addiction and other destructive behaviors by providing the techniques, skills, and guidance necessary for them to realize their self-worth, fulfill their potential, and learn responsibility to self and others. John believed that one true encounter with unconditional acceptance could change a person’s life. He lived and breathed the Emmaus core philosophy of nonjudgement and positively impacted hundreds of lives during his time here on Earth. He was buried in Dangriga, Belize by his loving family on September 2, 2020. A life of such generosity, selflessness, and kind-heartedness deserves to be beautifully remembered. All are welcome to share memories at a Zoom remembrance (no service) on October 18, 2020 at 1:00pm at https://us02web.zoom.us/j/88554328780

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 terrific 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 flowers, 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.

UCSB makes ‘House Calls’ Viewers are encouraged to let Arts & Lectures come to them

COURTESY PHOTOS

Americana music star Nathaniel Rateliff will be one of many musicians performing live in the UCSB Arts & Lectures’ “House Calls” series, streamed right to viewers’ homes.

By GRAYCE MCCORMICK

NEWS-PRESS STAFF WRITER

CSB Arts & Lectures has announced the debut of “House Calls.” It’s a series of virtual events from September through January featuring interactive online concerts, conversations and Q&As. Tickets went on sale Sept. 10, and acts will include music by bluegrass phenom Billy Strings, alternative country singer/songwriter Jason Isbell, Americana music star Nathaniel Rateliff, and banjo and fiddle player Rhiannon Giddens with Francesco Turrisi. In addition, lectures will be given by 19th U.S. Surgeon General Vivek Murthy, Financial Times U.S. Editor Gillian Tett and bestselling author Anne Lamott. Comedian, storyteller, director and actor Mike Birbiglia will also read from his new memoir, followed by an off-the-cuff Q&A with the audience. There are 15 programs, each 60 minutes, and they’re designed to entertain, educate and inspire, especially during the COVID-19 pandemic. On top of the live, virtual performances, participants can also receive the full “House Calls” experience by ordering custom-crafted meals cooked by The Lark Executive Chef Jason Paluska and Loquita Executive Chef Nikolas Ramirez. Acme Hospitality will deliver the meals on participants’ doorsteps, with the links to order available on the Arts & Lectures website. From the New York Times Crossword editor and NPR puzzlemaster to a Hawaiian ukulele rock star, entertainers will share their music, wisdom or humor from Nashville, Denmark, Ireland, Denver, Nottingham, Hawaii and New York for all of Santa Barbara to see. The all-access pass, which includes all 15 events, is $140, or participants can buy advance tickets for individual events starting at $10. Tickets are free for UCSB students. Order from UCSB Arts & Lectures by calling 805893-3535, or order online at www.artsandlectures. ucsb.edu. Along with House Calls, Arts & Lectures just announced another At Home series. A&L co-commissioned “Complete Works: Table Top Shakespeare: At Home,” a project from Forced Entertainment that tells each of Shakespeare’s 36 plays with a single performer, household objects and a table. These virtual performances use a comical and intimate manner to retell Shakespeare’s plays as a way of reaching international viewers via webcast. Retelling the most popular plays such as “Macbeth,” “Romeo and Juliet,” “Hamlet” and “A Midsummer Night’s Dream” will be performers Robin Arthur, Jerry Killick, Richard Lowdon, Claire Marshall, Cathy Naden and Terry O’Connor. Several sets will be followed by post-show discussions over Zoom. Plays will be broadcast for free over nine weeks, from Sept. 17 through Nov. 15. All performances will be at noon, and can be accessed via www. artsandlectures.ucsb.edu. To register for a postshow discussion, email feaftertalks@gmail.com with the date of the discussion.

At left, “House Calls” features a Sunday brunch concert from musician, historian, writer and podcaster Rhiannon Giddens with Francesco Turrisi. Viewers can enjoy the banjo and fiddle, along with a curated brunch from The Lark. At right, Financial Times U.S. Editor-at-Large Gillian Tett will address pressing economic issues in a lecture through House Calls. She predicted the 2008 financial crisis and foresaw the rise of populism with the electoral success of President Trump.

At left, bluegrass phenom Billy Strings will provide the virtual “House Calls” audience with elements of punk, country and folk rock. He was voted 2019 International Bluegrass Music Association Guitar Player of the Year. At right, four-time Grammy Award-winner Jason Isbell will come to viewers’ homes from Nashville with his Americana music. He drifts between rock, country and roots, and will provide an up-close solo show.

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

Sunday, September 20, 2020

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.

Ready to shop around for new â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;lattesâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;

ear abby: My wife and I have been married for 17 years. For the first 16 years, my wife would make me lattes without being asked. Last year, she announced she would no longer make any more lattes for me. When I asked her if she expected me to go the rest of my life without one, she said yes! Do you think it would be OK if I found another female to make lattes for me? Wouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t that woman be doing my wife a favor? Hint: I am not really talking about lattes. â&#x20AC;&#x201D; No More Lattes in Kokomo Dear No More Lattes: Before outsourcing your latte business, it is important that you find out from your wife why her attitude has changed so drastically. Has she lost interest in that kind Abigail of beverage Van Buren preparation? Has making lattes become painful for her? Could there be other issues in your relationship that have made her less interested in giving you your favorite treat? If the answer to these questions is yes, perhaps she should discuss them with her doctor â&#x20AC;&#x201D; or the two of you talk about them with a licensed marriage counselor. Hint: Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m really not advising you about lattes, either. Dear Abby: After 33 years of what I thought was a nearperfect marriage, my husband walked out and filed for divorce. That was 12 years ago. Since then, Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve done my best to move on and find my â&#x20AC;&#x153;next chapter.â&#x20AC;? Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m now in the process of downsizing to move into a smaller house. While going through my filing cabinet, I ran across some very sweet and touching love letters my ex had written to me â&#x20AC;&#x201D; some of them just a few weeks before he left me. I am having a hard time deciding whether to throw them away or keep them. I know thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s no perfect answer, but any advice you could offer to help me make that decision would be appreciated. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a sensitive topic for me. â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Love Letters in Texas Dear L.L.: Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll bet it is. How does reading those touching love letters make you feel? Be honest. If they bring back warm memories, hang onto them. However, if they have the opposite effect, do yourself a favor, dispose of them and continue looking forward into your next chapter. Dear Abby: I live in a mobile park, and in the park is a group that collects money and runs fundraisers to help the lowincome people who live here. They deliver one bag of food to about 10 families once a month. This group does not disclose how much money was collected â&#x20AC;&#x201D; ever â&#x20AC;&#x201D; and are very secretive about how much they have in their fund. Some of us who live here have raised the question as to how much money they are holding, but they refuse to give us any information. They say they are not a nonprofit, so they donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have to report to the IRS. Is there anything we can do to make them tell us how much is in there? â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Money Matters Dear Money Matters: There absolutely is. Poll how many of your neighbors feel the way you do, and then, as a group, stop contributing money. If enough residents do that, the money will dry up and the fund will close. Because only 10 families need this kind of help, you and your neighbors should consider selecting families to help and do it directly. 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.

Friendâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s lies make her feel like a wimp

ear Carolyn: I have a friend who greatly exaggerates her accomplishments. She says she was president of a large charity (she wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t), ran two corporations (she didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t), sings solo in her choir (she doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t). Her claims are demonstrably false. Of course I feel completely co-opted: She boasts and I say nothing. This self-aggrandizing is getting me down as I am a very self-effacing person. I need help in how to handle my friend. She lies to everyone, not just me. â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Just a Wimp Just a Wimp: I see acquaintances here, not friends. Friends share. You two are lying to each other â&#x20AC;&#x201D; she to you about imaginary accomplishments, and you to her by omission, in concealing that youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re on to her. Her problem sounds serious. Yours I suspect can be fixed by a quick relabeling, from â&#x20AC;&#x153;friendâ&#x20AC;? to â&#x20AC;&#x153;someone I know.â&#x20AC;? Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d say otherwise if I had any inkling you were close â&#x20AC;&#x201D; a true friend would hold her kindly to account, and ask whatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s up â&#x20AC;&#x201D; but I sense youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d first have to become close to be the close friend she needs. Impossible and unappealing, given the circumstances. As for you: How are you a â&#x20AC;&#x153;wimpâ&#x20AC;?? How are you any less valuable â&#x20AC;&#x201D; or more, for that matter â&#x20AC;&#x201D; against a backdrop of her fiction? She triggers some self-image problems in you â&#x20AC;&#x201D; insecurities and competitiveness, Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m guessing â&#x20AC;&#x201D; which you can work on. But sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a straight mess. I hope her reckoning comes gently and soon. Dear Carolyn: My best friendâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s daughter has a terminal illness, bravely fought but coming to an end. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve been with my friend throughout, sharing tears, trying to help with practical things like housecleaning and groceries, sometimes

TONIGHT

getting her to do things that take her mind off the situation. Mostly just listening. Is there anything at all I could say or do to ease some of the sorrow that is coming? Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve nearly gotten to the point where I dread seeing her. Not because I am tired of listening but have nothing new to ease her pain. â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Anonymous Anonymous: I am so sorry. No one can ease the pain that is coming. All you can do, all any of us can do, is make sure no one goes through it alone â&#x20AC;&#x201D; except when people request that, of course, which some do. Clearly you understand this, having already done so much to minimize her suffering. Youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re a good friend. What you may have underestimated are your own needs. It is mentally exhausting to be the ever-patient listener. Tears are exhausting for sure. Just managing oneâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s own â&#x20AC;&#x153;practical thingsâ&#x20AC;? is exhausting on top of everything else, and youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve shouldered at least part of the load for another. And no doubt you know a best-friendâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s daughter well enough to be grieving her imminent loss yourself. That is so much to carry by yourself. So please make sure you arenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t alone in this, either. Your best friend wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have the capacity to help you, thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a given â&#x20AC;&#x201D; but maybe another friend outside this inner circle can be your supportive listener? A therapist, if thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s feasible right now, can give you both some restorative guidance and a safe place to unburden. Grief support is appropriate here as well, to help you with your own feelings and to give you new insight on helping your friend.

Vista Point on State Route 154 is more than a place to view dramatic scenery. It looks out on local history. When you stop at this location just west of the Cold Springs Canyon Bridge, take in the outstanding landscape. Then step back and look at the signs describing Santa Barbara County and its history. For example, one sign discusses Major John C. Frémont, who led his California Battalion on a march south over San Marcos Pass to capture Santa Barbara in 1846 during the Mexican-American War. After you visit the past, take a few more steps back, and you can admire the art of a big bear on the ground. And after you’ve stood and gazed, sit down and reflect. Historical milestones are carved into the picnic table, which salutes the “Chumash, the first people” and “Stagecoach Driver, 1880s.” How’s that for food for thought? email: dmason@newspress.com
