Barrett tapped for Supreme Court By MITCHELL WHITE NEWS-PRESS ASSOCIATE EDITOR

President Donald Trump nominated Judge Amy Coney Barrett to the Supreme Court on Saturday. Judge Barrett, a former clerk to the late Justice Antonin Scalia, said she aligned herself with Justice Scalia’s conservative approach, saying his “judicial philosophy is mine, too.” She added, “A judge must apply the law as written. Judges are not policymakers, and they must be resolute in setting aside any policy views they may hold.” The 48-year-old was joined in the Rose Garden along with her husband and seven children. If confirmed by the Senate, Judge Barrett would fill the seat vacated by the late Ruth Bader Ginsburg, who died Sept. 18 at the age of 87.

Mr. Trump praised Judge Barrett during Saturday’s announcement, calling her “a woman of remarkable intellect and character,” and said he studied her record closely before making his selection. Judge Barrett would be the sixth justice on the nine-member court appointed by a Republican president, and the third of Mr. Trump’s first term in office. A former Notre Dame law professor who now sits on a federal appeals court in Chicago, Judge Barrett is a favorite among conservatives due to her record as a pro-life judge. Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell said the Senate will vote “in the weeks ahead” on Judge Barrett’s confirmation. Hearings are set to begin Oct. 12. email: mwhite@newspress.com

In 2015, Josh Ellis was one of the five people that went all in on opening M. Special Brewing Company in its first location in Goleta. After the success there, Mr. Ellis and the other owners knew they wanted to expand and finally acquired a new location in downtown Santa Barbara last year. They were excited to open in 2020, but the pandemic shifted their plans. “Sometimes you dictate the situation and sometimes it dictates you and that’s what

happened with this location,” Mr. Ellis said. “COVID put a big hit on our revenue, so we were kind of forced to make a decision about whether or not we wanted to walk away from that project and leave all that money on the table

that we invested already, or if we wanted to try to proceed and push through.” The crew chose the latter, went all in one more time and it has paid off. “We’d already come this far and it was an act of faith, but we

really believe in our people and our brand and we just decided we wanted to push on forward,” Mr. Ellis told the News-Press. M. Special opened its second location on Sept. 9 at 634 State St. and it has already received some Please see M. SPECIAL on A3

Like so many others, Danny Goldberg was scared on March 13, 2020. All he knew about the novel coronavirus was that it forced the closure of his school, San Marcos High, and Gov. Gavin Newsom issued a stay-at-home order mandating everyone remain in their houses and avoid close contact with others. “I kind of freaked out a little bit to be honest,” the 17-year-old told the News-Press. “I just didn’t know what the rest of my year was going to look like, or even if my family and I would be safe.” He spent the next couple of days at home, locked away in his room. It didn’t take long, however, for him to come out and do something really special. Just five days later, he launched Zoomers to Boomers, an initiative where the younger generation of Gen Z would take it upon themselves to go to the grocery store for the elderly and immunocompromised, those most susceptible to the COVID-19 virus. “I just realized that even though I am scared and putting myself in danger, the risks that I am at are so much lower comparatively to these other people. It was that realization that I’m in such a

better off position that made me understand that I have to go out and help those people,” Danny said. Little did he know just how much his message would resonate. Currently, Zoomers to Boomers is now available across 36 cities, not just in California, but across the country. There’s also one group of zoomers in Hyderabad, India. Those who need assistance with their grocery shopping, as well as those interested in volunteering their services, can do so by visiting zoomerstoboomers.com. “I honestly had no idea it was going to grow into what it has. When I had the idea I just knew there were neighbors in my community who needed help. As it grew, I realized this model that was created here is applicable to so many other areas and could help save so many potential lives. So why not spread?” he said. At each city, there is a district manager of sorts running the operations and almost daily Danny tries to reach out to different managers. He recalled working 16 to 18 hours a day to help set up the new cities. “There’s definitely been times where you know I’ve been overwhelmed. I really have my Please see zoomers on A4

Shoe strike held near Stearns Wharf By JORGE MERCADO NEWS-PRESS STAFF WRITER

Just as they have done for the past two months, the Society for Fearless Grandmothers Santa Barbara chapter held its monthly shoe strike for climate justice on Saturday. The latest strike was held near Stearns Wharf on West Beach to make sure more eyeballs were around. In July, the shoe strike was held outside the County Administration Building on Anacapa Street. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The other location was targeting the Board of Supervisors and the problem with that location is it doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t get very much traffic, so you put in a lot of work and not very many people see it,â&#x20AC;? Irene Cooke, a member of the society, told the News-Press. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Here, we have gotten a lot more people to pay attention and that really is the whole point, to raise awareness and encourage people to demand action.â&#x20AC;? Back in July, the group collected about 500 pairs of shoes. On Saturday, they had well over 700 pairs donated to stand in their place at the beach, respecting the COVID-19 guidelines. In the months since the first shoe strike, a lot has happened around the West Coast and especially in California with the constant fires, multiple heat waves and poor air quality. This month, the shoe strike also made sure to call special attention to sea-level rise in the ocean due to climate change. According to Ms. Cooke, that was very much intentional.

JORGE MERCADO / NEWS-PRESS

More than 700 pairs of shoes were placed in the sand Saturday afternoon at West Beach as part of the Society of Fearless Grandmothers shoe strike rally for climate justice.

â&#x20AC;&#x153;Today, we did the sea-level rise because last week the city had its meeting on the sea-level rise adaptation plan,â&#x20AC;? Ms. Cooke said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We want people to really pay attention to that because just to adapt the basic infrastructure here would be $4 billion. People say we canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t afford a Green New Deal but in the long run, weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re going to be spending billions and billions of dollars.â&#x20AC;? On Saturday, Ms. Cooke saw a mother and her son walk by the shoe strike. The mother stopped and talked to Ms. Cooke saying that her young son was interested in talking to her about climate

change. â&#x20AC;&#x153;He was about 7, so it shows even the smallest children are aware of this and theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re worried about it. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s their future,â&#x20AC;? she said. It even reminded her of dinner she had with her own grandson this past week in which he was also worried about climate change. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re the adults, weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re supposed to be taking care of them and if weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re not taking care of the planet right now, weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re not taking care of them,â&#x20AC;? Ms. Cooke said. Dillon and Jennifer Cohen attended the shoe strike in

support of the Society of Fearless Grandmothers. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s an existential crisis, climate change and sea-level rise. I am deeply concerned about the fires that we see around us and Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m here also, because of the intersection between climate justice and racial justice,â&#x20AC;? Mr. Cohen said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s important that people take a moment on a beautiful day to reflect on what we need to survive, clean air and clean water.â&#x20AC;? The Cohens live in New York for most of the year. Ms. Cohen has been involved in protests like Saturdayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s for the past four years, and was excited to join the cause. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This is the most important issue for me. Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re in need and could we make it more obvious? The problems and the issues that weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re facing is terrifying,â&#x20AC;? she said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The next election is coming up in just a few days and when people say vote because your life depends on us, they couldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t be more serious.â&#x20AC;? Ms. Cooke said she is not sure where next monthâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s shoe strike will be held, but has enjoyed keeping the public informed. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a lot of work, but this is an incredibly committed group of women who are just devoted to raising awareness,â&#x20AC;? she said. email: jmercado@newspress.com

RAFAEL MALDONADO / NEWS-PRESS

Mr. Ellis has been receiving a ton of positive feedback, especially about the new locationâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s look, something he is very proud of.

â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve been really, really busy since we have openedâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; M. SPECIAL

Continued from Page A1

positive feedback within its first two weeks. Mr. Ellis, the companyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s brewmaster in addition to being an owner, has heard a lot of the positive reviews having been at the location almost daily. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The beerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s great, the foodâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s great and my favorite feedback is that people really feel like we captured the Goleta vibe at the location,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t clone it, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not the exact same thing, but it feels really good to know that thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a little continuity because Goletaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s location is what made this all possible.â&#x20AC;? Mr. Ellis was also quick to give a shoutout to his staff that has made the opening of the new location go off with only minor speedbumps. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I have to tip my hat to our team. Megan, the operating manager, has done a fantastic job of organizing and getting that place going and the staff has really done a good job of getting the policies and procedures in place and executing on them,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;And Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m really proud to say that weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve been really, really busy since we have opened.â&#x20AC;? While the pandemic has certainly made life harder for so many, M. Special has experienced at least one good thing in recent months. Because the pandemic pushed back itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s original opening date, the new State Street location opened exactly five years after the Goleta location opened on Sept. 9, 2015. â&#x20AC;&#x153;That is pretty crazy to think about,â&#x20AC;? Mr. Ellis said with a laugh. Knowing that they wanted to expand, Mr. Ellis said that the owners were very selective in picking the right location. He said they probably went through over 100 locations before finally settling in on the State Street location. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The reason we did that was because we had just done so well in Goleta and we were so successful that we really felt like we didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t want to make a misstep on our second location, but this particular property really fits the bill for us,â&#x20AC;? Mr. Ellis said. With restaurants not being able to operate indoors due to the novel coronavirus, many places have shifted to outside seating. Luckily for M. Special, the new location has a ton of space outside. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Sometimes, it is better to be lucky than be good,â&#x20AC;?

he said with a laugh. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a ton of space, nearly 4,000 square feet and we just always have a lot of patio space, thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s been a trademark of our Goleta location. Drinking beer in Santa Barbara is what we have become known for and when we saw that patio we just fell in love with it. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We had no idea that it was going to be critical retail space in this COVID-era, so thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s just a case where we got lucky and we will take it.â&#x20AC;? M. Special, like most breweries and other similar brands in its industry, has faced some challenges. For one, the cost of CO2 has more than tripled, while shipping has also steadily increased, according to Mr. Ellis. Though he has become somewhat of an expert on small business loans, Mr. Ellis is thankful he gets to continue to do what he loves â&#x20AC;&#x201D; making beer. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a lot of stuff thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s gone into it, but we all kind of try to take it in stride and I love making beer. I try to remind myself I did this because I love making beer, so I try not to take the little snafus that come along too seriously,â&#x20AC;? he said. He is also proud to be able to provide a safe, outdoor option to patrons, allowing them to escape whatever pressures they may have. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s really rewarding. The reality is for so many people in all walks of life, being holed up in your house takes its toll after a while. People need a social outlet so itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s really nice to be able to provide that,â&#x20AC;? Mr. Ellis said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The other thing thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s been really nice is how respectful our customers have been about following rules and wearing their masks.â&#x20AC;? Mr. Ellis admitted itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s hard to look too much into the future given the pandemic, but hopes that the brand can continue to make strides and even open another location soon. According to their license, they can open up to five locations. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I spent a lot of my life trying to be proactive and I spent a lot of the COVID-era just reminding myself that the worldâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s going to change again tomorrow, so stay open minded and flexible,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;But we are definitely in a mode right now where we want to see this thing through because it is critical to our longterm success as a company. â&#x20AC;&#x153;If we can get there and get past this we can expand even further.â&#x20AC;? email: jmercado@newspress.com

Dejected Dodger pitcher Clayton Kershaw sits in the dugout after giving up the lead in last yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s National League Divisional Series loss to Washington.

They summoned ace starter Clayton Kershaw from the bullpen to put the cherry on topâ&#x20AC;Ś and he turned into a Halloween pumpkin. The Nationals carved him up with consecutive home runs by Anthony Rendon and Juan Soto and continued on to win the series in the 10th inning. It was just another October horror story for Kershaw, whose postseason ERA of 4.43 is nearly twice as high as his regularseason 2.44. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Everything people say is true right now about the postseason,â&#x20AC;? a disconsolate Kershaw said afterward. â&#x20AC;&#x153;When you donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t win the last game of the season and youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re to blame for it, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not fun.â&#x20AC;? This yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Dodgers, like their 1988 club, cleared several obstacles to get to October. They shrugged off injuries that sidelined Justin Turner for nearly a third of the season and limited Corey Seager for a while, a blister that shelved star pitcher Walker Buehler for several starts, and the prolonged hitting slumps of such sluggers as Cody Bellinger, Max Muncy and Joc Pederson. Bellinger, last yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s National League MVP, was batting under. 200 for nearly half the season, although a nine-game hitting streak helped him get back to .238 by Saturday. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s been smiling and laughing,â&#x20AC;? manager Dave Roberts

said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I believe when heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s like that, good things happen on the baseball field.â&#x20AC;? The Dodgers also have a dugout thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s slap-happy with depth. Seager has led the way by batting .319 with 15 homers. Mookie Betts arrived from Boston during the offseason and is now at .292 with 16 homers. Turner hasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t missed a beat since his return and is batting .310. Chris Taylor, Will Smith, and A.J. Pollock have all contributed mightily, as well. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I think our team is a tough match up,â&#x20AC;? Seager said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;In years past weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve been dominant lefty, dominant righty, and people have kind of mixed and matched us with pitchers. This year, we can throw out every other guy if we need toâ&#x20AC;Ś have certain guys in certain positions. â&#x20AC;&#x153;One through nine, weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re a lot more prepared for everything going into the postseason.â&#x20AC;? It will begin that postseason with a best-of-three series on Wednesday at Dodger Stadium. If they win that, because of the COVID-19 pandemic, theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll play the rest of the playoffs at a neutral-site bubble in Texas. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve seen the Dodgersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; bubble burst before, however. The curse of 1978 is still ringing in my ears. email: mpatton@newspress.com

LeBron leads Lakers to NBA Finals LeBron James put up yet another stellar performance Saturday night, as the Los Angeles Lakers closed out their series with the Denver Nuggets to advance to NBA Finals. James finished with 38 points, 16 rebounds and 10 assists as the Lakers defeated Denver 4-1 in the best-of-seven series, winning Saturday 117-107. James, who tallied 16 points in the fourth quarter, recorded his 116th career 30-point performance in the playoffs, the most of all time. His 27th career playoff triple double puts him at second in NBA history, trailing only Magic Johnson, who did it 30 times in his career. The current Lakersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; star also became the second player in

franchise history to record a stat line of at least 35 points, 15 rebounds and 10 assists since James Worthy did so in Game 7 of the 1988 NBA Finals. Anthony Davis added 27 points and five rebounds in the win. The Lakers will play in their first NBA Finals since 2010. The team will now go for their 17th NBA Championship, which would tie them with the Boston Celtics for the most championships of any franchise in the leagueâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s history. The Nuggets, having come back from 3-1 series deficits twice in the 2020 playoffs, were led by Nikola Jokic (20 points, seven rebounds and five assists) and Jerami Grant (20 points and nine rebounds). Jamal Murray finished with 19 points and eight assists. The Lakers will take on the winner between the Miami Heat and Boston Celtics. Miami leads the series 3-2. Game 6 will tip off at 4:30 p.m. on ESPN. â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Mitchell White

His friend who has been there with him since the beginning, Alex Wilson, gave him a hand, telling Danny to â&#x20AC;&#x153;log off, I can take it from here.â&#x20AC;? Zoomers has more than 1,000 volunteers helping to deliver groceries to their â&#x20AC;&#x153;neighbors.â&#x20AC;? The organization has been featured by national media outlets, including Forbes, Good Morning America and just last week, Danny accepted the volunteer award during the Hospice of Santa Barbaraâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 4th annual Heroes of Hospice. The current senior is finding a balance between school and helping his neighbors as he resumes high-school classes. He hopes to attend Stanford University. Originally, he wanted to go into the field of medicine, like his father who is a doctor at Cottage Hospital, but Zoomers has made him think about getting into that nonprofit sector moving

forward. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This is something that I definitely want to continue for an extended period of time, especially throughout the pandemic. My goal is to keep the same volunteer base and just keep growing,â&#x20AC;? Danny said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;My team and I have talked about switching over from purely grocery delivery into more of the elderly support type of nonprofit where we would maintain grocery delivery and maybe do tech help and really try to work to build a bond between the younger and older communities.â&#x20AC;? He recalled one of his many deliveries in the past six months to an elderly woman who hadnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t been able to get food for three weeks and was on her last can of food. Danny went out right away, bought everything and delivered it to her. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Just seeing how happy and how much you can change one personâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s day one personâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s week by doing something thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s small, it made me really inspired to keep on doing what I was doing,â&#x20AC;?

Local musician dropping new single this week By JOSH GREGA NEWS-PRESS STAFF WRITER

Like many musicians, Jim Davis has been restricted to livestream concerts due to the COVID-19 pandemic. The artist, also known as Suburbanoid, was inspired by the virtual shows, ultimately leading to him releasing his new single â&#x20AC;&#x153;Sunshine,â&#x20AC;? on Tuesday. In an interview with the News-Press, Mr. Davis said he first showcased the new song in a virtual concert he dedicated to the country of Italy. As he wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t able to go on tour in Europe like he had wanted to in support of his album, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Malibu Fire Sessions,â&#x20AC;? the avant-garde musician decided to hold a â&#x20AC;&#x153;Virtual World Tour,â&#x20AC;? with each digital concert dedicated to a different country. For the last song during his concert dedicated to Italy, Mr. Davis performed a piano version of â&#x20AC;&#x153;Sunshineâ&#x20AC;? as its last number. He then decided he wanted to release the studio version of â&#x20AC;&#x153;Sunshine,â&#x20AC;? which features himself on vocals, acoustic 12-string guitar, and electric piano, as well as Weird Al Yankovicâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s guitarist Jim â&#x20AC;&#x153;Kimoâ&#x20AC;? West on slack key guitar and Randy Tico on bass. According to Mr. Davis, the song is reminiscent of the day it was written during a visit at his friendâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s property in Manchester, CA, during which it was raining for days on end. When the sun finally came out, Mr. Davis was sitting outside picking on his guitar, his dog lying under his chair, and the song simply arrived. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The sun just came out and the song

came out,â&#x20AC;? he said. When it came to the cover art for the single, his wife, Bettie Bergeron, suggested he recreate the moment he wrote the song. Though he featured the song during his livestream concert, the acoustic, singer-songwriter style of â&#x20AC;&#x153;Sunshineâ&#x20AC;? is very uncharacteristic for Suburbanoid music. Most of the songs under the Suburbanoid umbrella are instrumental, ambient, and could be described and avant-garde. Mr. Davis said his songs have been featured in six independent films, and therefore described his work as â&#x20AC;&#x153;soundtrack music.â&#x20AC;? Through his publishing company, Suburbanoid Music BMI, Mr. Davis hopes to get more of his music used in films as it has often been suggested to him as a way to make a living through his music. While live gigging is out of the cards, Mr. Davis has no shortage of virtual concerts to keep busy. He plays his Full Moon concert series, which is an ambient performance he does each month when thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a full moon at night. Whereas the Full Moon series is relaxing and akin to â&#x20AC;&#x153;sound mediation,â&#x20AC;? as Mr. Davis said, he and his wife do performances as Suburbanoid Fatties, which is â&#x20AC;&#x153;more conceptualâ&#x20AC;? and as it reflects society, â&#x20AC;&#x153;not always peaceful.â&#x20AC;? The Virtual World Tour combines songs from Suburbanoid and Suburbanoid Fatties, but by and large has a relaxing mood. Also, whereas the Full Moon concerts are entirely instrumental and ambient, the Virtual

After receiving a $150,000 contribution from the Hans Skytt Family Charitable Unitrust, nonprofit Solvang Theaterfest is more than halfway toward its fundraising goal for â&#x20AC;&#x153;IMAGINE! Building the Future,â&#x20AC;? a $4.7 million capital campaign for renovating the Solvang Festival Theater. According to Solvang Theaterfest executive director Scott Coe, the Skytt Family donation put the nonprofit at 53% of its goal, which has recently risen to 55% due to additional pledges. The Solvang Festival Theaterâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s renovation is currently in its preconstruction phase, with its capital campaign in its second year of fundraising. The campaign will continue even when construction gets underway in the fall of 2021. Because the venue was quickly built 46 years ago, it now has to undergo structural renovation and have its infrastructure renewed for the safety of its actors and patrons. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The folks who built this theater 46 years ago did a remarkable job, in fact they built the theater in less than 60 days, but the theater needs structural renovation at this point,â&#x20AC;? he said. The theater will also get acoustic upgrades and be redesigned with improved ADA accessibility. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s going to be a more accessible theater with a structure more conducive to what a theater should be today,â&#x20AC;? he said. The Solvang Festival Theater was built in 1974 by a group of local volunteers that included the Hans Skytt Family Charitable Unitrustâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s namesake Hans F. Skytt. Born

in Solvang in 1920 and raised in the Danish town, Mr. Skytt worked in his familyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s business, the Solvang Mill and Lumber Yard, and also pursued other commercial ventures like developing the Royal Copenhagen Mote. According to a press release, he also restored the giant clock on Mission Drive and Atterdag Road. Prior to Mr. Skyttâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s passing in 2013, he decided that he wanted to develop a trust in his name that would provide funding to nonprofits in Solvang and the greater Santa Ynez Valley. According to his son, former Solvang City Council member Ed Skytt, Hans made a list of around a dozen nonprofits for the trust to consider donating to, which included the Solvang Festival Theater, Elverhoj Museum of History & Art, and the Solvang Library. Of the dozen or so nonprofits on the initial list, a handful were ultimately chosen, and the funds were distributed about seven years after Mr. Skyttâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s passing. Ed Skytt told the News-Press that as he and his daughter Rachel were going through the initial list of nonprofits, they thought the Solvang Festival Theater was an appropriate choice, given Hansâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; involvement with the venueâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s beginnings and also Rachelâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s long involvement with theater arts. â&#x20AC;&#x153;For us, it was really a no-brainer that we put money into the fund for the expansion and improvement of the facility,â&#x20AC;? Mr. Skytt said. He added that donating toward the theaterâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s renovation is â&#x20AC;&#x153;just a way of paying back the communityâ&#x20AC;? for the success the city of Solvang had given his family.

Recommendations on 2020 propositions

roposition 14. Vote NO. Whenever you see the word “bond,” think DEBT. Good research attracts investors. There is no need, therefore, for California taxpayers to keep footing the bill to fund another $5.5 billion in bonds for stem cell research. Proposition 15. Vote NO. I would recommend a vote of “Hell No” if it were allowed. This bill will kill what is left of mom-and-pop, brick-and-mortar businesses that are dealing with competition from the internet and the COVID shutdown. Furthermore, while this ballot measure takes away the financial protections of the original Prop. 13 from commercial, retail, industrial and agricultural buildings and some ag crops including vineyards and orchards, the proponents have already stated they are coming after homeowners next. Proposition 16. Vote NO. Only in California would we consider

Proposition 23. Vote NO. This bill is another attempt by unions to destroy this vital medical sector because they couldn’t get the workforce to unionize. It will drive up costs and/or put some dialysis clinics out of business altogether. Proposition 24. Vote NO. This is another example of piling on to small businesses. California already has a consumer privacy act on the books. Proposition 25. Vote NO. This bill would use a computer assessment to determine whether somebody can be released from jail. The computer program has been proven to be biased. The bill proposes to eliminate the current method of determining cash bail by judges based on standard practices and the opinions of defense attorneys and prosecutors.

Vote no on Cold Spring measure Residents of the Cold Spring School District will soon be voting on a proposed $7.8 million bond measure. I am writing to share with the community why I have decided to VOTE NO on L2020. I have been a resident of the Cold Spring School District since 1981. Our children attended Cold Spring School and my husband and I happily donated our time and money to enhance their experience. I have worked as an educator for 24 years and care deeply about the school and what it provides to our community. I recently served on the district’s governing board. My priorities then and now are fiscal responsibility, transparency and accountability, and representing the 87% of the electorate who do not have children currently enrolled in the school – voices that have long been absent from the decision-making processes of the district. I resigned my position after 2½ years because I could not, in good conscience, support and defend board majority decisions that I believed were detrimental to the district’s fiscal health, in conflict with board policies, and damaging to the morale of the teachers and the staff. Here are the specific reasons I believe taxpayers should VOTE NO on L2020: Once again, the district has failed to engage all of its residents. There have been no community forums and no solicitation of community input. We taxpayers are being asked to hand over $7.8 million to pay for buildings and projects that we had no part in determining the need for. This is the opposite of transparency and inclusion. The district doesn’t want the residents involved in planning and decision-making – they only want

us to donate money or vote to tax The two top administrators are ourselves. paid about 9% of the budget of $4.3 I’m not confident that the bond million (about $400,000 altogether), money will be spent appropriately and the entire administrative team or responsibly. costs about 17% of the budget.

My experience on the board was

that thoughtful discussions and public consensus-building during board meetings are virtually non-existent. Decisions about issues are being made outside of the public’s view and unanimous votes during board meetings are expected. Asking questions is not only considered “disrespectful,” but actively discouraged and shut down. For these reasons, I have no confidence in the success of a bond measure oversight committee. Taxpayers and students deserve responsible school spending. There is no doubt in my mind that poor planning, questionable financial decisions, and lack of attention on the part of previous governing boards and administrations have allowed the facilities and the finances to reach their present state. Existing bonds that were meant to address many of the projects on the current bond measure list will not be paid off until 2039. The proposed bond won’t be paid off until at least 2052. It is astounding to me that a district with so much wealth and privilege is asking for even more — in the middle of a pandemic and economic catastrophe, no less. Yes, of course I want the students and staff of Cold Spring School to have clean, safe, modern facilities in which to work and learn. I just do not trust the current Cold Spring School leadership with $7.8 million. That’s why I will VOTE NO on L2020 and I recommend that the other residents of the district VOTE NO on L2020, too.

Support Goleta schools’ Measure M

he COVID-19 crisis, now entering its sixth month, has caused turmoil, sacrifice, tragedy and sorrow throughout our community. Yet it has also reminded us of the strength, tenacity, decency and caring of the citizens and families of the Goleta Valley. Nowhere is this more true than in Goleta’s public schools. It goes without saying that there have been enormous challenges and, yes, some disappointments as our teachers and staff have worked round-the-clock to navigate their way through this crisis. We’ve watched our school district leaders, teachers and staff members spring into action over the past seven months – preparing study packets for remote learning, handing out meals to students, and identifying improved internet connections. This crisis has reinforced that our schools are

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.

Continued from Page A6 not counted for the November 2019 election. As of July 28, they had received no response nor acknowledgement from the city regarding their January 2020 inquiry as to the status of these â&#x20AC;&#x153;lost votes.â&#x20AC;? That is six months! On July 28, the voting records were presented to the city council for destruction by the keeper of the records. They were getting no response from the city and they could see the evidence was about to be destroyed per schedule. The citizens contacted the writers of this column, DYK, in desperation that morning as they still had received no response from the city regarding their January request; and the ballots were due to be destroyed. DYK made a public records request for the information on behalf of these voters. So far, we have just received the cityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s fourth notice of an extension to fill the public records request. If the ballots were ready to be destroyed on July 28, why arenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t they available for the public records request? Is someone hiding something? Will this request not be filled until after the election, same as the L.A. public schools will not be open until after the election? Again, have you ever seen anything like this? They will take whatever you will give up! Remember, our government is run by people, those who believe in freedom and those who would take it away.

Forum features SB school board candidates

he Coalition for Neighborhood Schools hosted an on-line forum for Santa Barbara Board of Education candidates on Sept. 17. In this age of COVID-19 changing all of our routines and usual campaign practices, the forum went smoothly, and each of the seven candidates answered all the questions asked. The Coalition for Neighborhood Schools wants to thank our moderator, Lanny Ebenstein, our technical support, Jasper Jacobs and all of the candidates for their participation. Over 125 citizens â&#x20AC;&#x153;attendedâ&#x20AC;? the forum, and we thank them also for their interest in the school board race, and we hope their votes will be informed by their participation. We were pleased that every candidate supports neighborhood schools that are within walking distance for students in every Santa Barbara attendance area. They each mentioned their own experiences of walking to school and elaborated on how those experiences enhance physical fitness and mental health, create block-by-block friendships among students and parents, and provide environmental benefits! We could not agree more. In addition, the need for another downtown elementary school was addressed --- bearing in mind the communityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s desire for an increase in downtown housing. Several other questions of curriculum were also addressed at some length and audience questions answered. For those who are interested, there will be a YouTube version of the forum available soon. Please email: cns4schools@aol. com and put â&#x20AC;&#x153;UTube Forumâ&#x20AC;? in the subject line. Indicate also if you prefer the Spanish version.

Voters residing between Montecito and Goleta have the choice to vote for three candidates. Although there are different elementary school districts for K-6 throughout the area, all of the secondary schools fall under Santa Barbara Unified School District. In the upcoming election, make your vote count! Laura Wilson President, Coalition for Neighborhood Schools

Responding to critics of Prop. 15

am still undecided on Prop. 15. The non-partisan legislative analystâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s report that accompanies the voter information guide is not helpful, while local opinions by News-Press columnists Andy Caldwell and Bonnie Donovan regarding the negative impacts of Prop 15 are unsubstantiated, if not biased. Currently, as provided for in Proposition 13 passed in 1978, homeowners and commercial property owners have their property taxes based on the purchase price of the property. Proposition 15, if approved, would keep things the same for residential property owners but require commercial property - valued in excess of $3 million - to be based on current market value. Those who oppose Proposition 15 cite the following: Bad timing. In the face of COVID, which has decimated many businesses, now is not the time to change the rules. Prop 15 does not take effect until 2022, and even then, it will be phased in over several years. Plus, there are exceptions (farmers for one) and other offsets that blunt the impact. Nevertheless, the timing will loom large in most votersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; minds. It hurts the mom-and-pop businesses. While only those commercial buildings valued more than $3 million are

impacted, a small commercial office building or strip mall (apartments are excluded) could easily be worth more than $3 million, thereby triggering Prop. 15 and a higher property tax bill. According to studies done by USC, 6% of the commercial properties in the state would generate more than 75% of the estimated revenue from Prop 15. Thus, the burden of Prop 15 is born by a small number of very large business owners. Think Apple, Oracle and H-P. But, to be fair, smaller building owners could be impacted and presumably increased property taxes would be passed on to their tenants in the form of higher rents. However, even if oneâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s property taxes go up as a result of Prop 15, one cannot charge more for rent than what the market dictates. According to a separate study by UC Santa Cruz, half of all commercial properties are already assessed at or near market value and many tenants have leases, whereby increased property taxes are automatically figured into the lease. Thus, the impact on tenants may not be as great as the naysayers declare. It will drive businesses out of California. This is supposition. A dozen or more states have higher property tax rates than California. There are many variables involved in a companyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s decision to relocate. Yes, some may decide to move, but would it be solely due to Prop 15? The problem is spending. The opponents say the inability to rein in spending at the state and local level is the root of the problem, and higher taxes wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t fix that. Prop 15 is just a ploy to increase revenues without having to do the hard work of living within our means. Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a fair point. But Californiaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s rosy $20 billion surplus â&#x20AC;&#x201D; thanks to COVID â&#x20AC;&#x201D; is now estimated to grow to a $50 billion deficit. Looks like a revenue and a spending problem to me.

Undoubtedly, there are serious issues ahead (homeless, affordable housing, an aging population, climate change, job losses through automation, etc.) that will strain state and local budgets. Starving the beast will not ameliorate these problems. From an economics perspective (but too detailed to relate here) there are elements of Proposition 15 that make sense. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s unfortunate the state legislature shirked its responsibility and foisted Prop. 15 on the electorate while leery voters struggle with bogus claims by politicians and DIY pundits who havenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t done their homework.

during the day, they consider it low priority and usually arrive long after the operator has finished and left. The proper number to call the police is 805-882-8900 in the city of Santa Barbara and 805-683-2724 for county enforcement. Please call and report one today! If you are someone with respiratory ailments living in or around Santa Barbara, consider suing the city for its failure to protect your health if your condition worsens. All the city has to do is enforce the law that the citizens passed to protect you, and it has chosen not to do so! Rowland Lane Anderson Santa Barbara

Leaf blowers pose health problems

y concerns regarding leaf blowers are based on the experience of an emergencyroom physician who asserts that the allergens, toxins, and small particles that become and remain airborne when leaf blowers are used cause people with respiratory conditions to become more ill. These particles may remain in the air for hours or days after the leaf blower is used, including possibly viruses. Citizens of Santa Barbara outlawed leaf blowers with the initiative process many years ago, but the city watered the law down by deciding that it would be only gasoline-powered leaf blowers that would be illegal and then only during daylight hours. Of course, this is nonsense as the same toxins would be in the air whether blown there by battery or gasoline engines, and breathing the toxins at night would be just as dangerous for those with respiratory ailments as during the day, perhaps more so when they sleep. Furthermore, even when the police are notified of a gasolinepowered leaf blower being used

Letâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s re-elect President Trump we vote by â&#x20AC;&#x153;Secret Iforrealize ballotâ&#x20AC;?, but I openly will vote President Trump.

People have hated him since the very beginning, without even knowing what he could do. So, he was disparaged by strangers because of flaws in his character. Gee! I didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t realize there were so many perfect citizens out there! I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t remember that happening with President Clinton and a few others I wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t mention. I guess we can rationalize anything to accomplish our goals. Why isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t the same standard used with videos of Joe and Hunter Biden? We have all done things we regret, but President Trump is a national target. He loves America, doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t need the money, and is helping every group of people. Obama, a Christian?, mocked Christians, for â&#x20AC;&#x153;clinging to their Biblesâ&#x20AC;?. I canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t think of another president who has suffered so much criticism, hate, and national, worldwide disasters as this President! This is not a good time to change horses. Letâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s stay together.

Ready to care for you.

DAYKA, Les

HUGHEY, Elizabeth Boon

Leslie (Les) Dayka was born on August 27, 1946 in Vitka, Hungary. He passed away at Cottage Hospital in Santa Barbara, California on September 4, 2020.

10/3/1925 - 9/10/2020

Elizabeth Boon Hughey died in Santa Barbara on September 10, 2020 at the age of 94. Liz was born in Hartford, Michigan to Peter and Agnes Boon, the eldest of five children. The family later moved to Grand Haven and she attended Nursing school in Grand Rapids, earning her RN degree in 1946. She left the snowy Michigan winters for Florida and loved the sunshine and palm trees. Did private duty in Miami Beach, then on to Dallas, Galveston, and University of Texas Medical School, working in surgery (very little air conditioning in 1947, and surgery had air conditioning). Continued west with RN girlfriends to hospitals in Los Angeles. On a whim, they went to an Airline Hostess class at night which led to a surprise spot for Liz on Ralph Edwards’ “This Is Your Life” radio show in 1949 and a job with TWA. Went sailing with pilots to the Isthmus on Catalina Island where she met her future husband, J. Benedict Hughey on his Tahiti Ketch, Gay Lady. Thus began years of highspirited adventures on land and sea with many dear friends. Married in 1952 in their Brentwood home. After the birth of daughter Lisa in Mexico, they moved to Montecito in 1956 and bought El Fureidis, a house and gardens designed by Bertram Grosvenor Goodhue for Waldron Gillespie in 1906, which Ben called “The Ruins”. Son Boon was born in Santa Barbara two years later. In the 1960’s, they built a house in Acapulco and spent part of each year there while the kids were growing up. When the kids left the nest, Liz and Ben had a house in Southern Arizona where they loved the warm, dry air and peaceful quiet, and enjoyed many long-time friendships. Wherever they gathered, there was always lively dialogue. In Santa Barbara, Liz was an active supporter of Casa Serena and was honored in 2010 with their “Pillar of Strength” award. She was a devoted mother and friend with a positive outlook and strong faith. Her caring and loving nature will be greatly missed. Liz will join husband Ben up under the big palm tree in Santa Barbara Cemetery. A private graveside farewell blessing will be held with family. Please remember her with love.

Wathne, Sigurd R.

Date of Birth - October 3, 1926 Date of Death - September 7, 2020

“Sig” passed away peacefully in his sleep at his home in Santa Barbara, California, on the evening of September 7, 2020. A retired Electrical Engineer, Sig was known as a family man, community volunteer and co-founder of Sikama International, Inc., which he and his son Kail started in the family’s garage in 1982. Everyone liked to ask Sig about how they chose the name Sikama, which sounds like it has Japanese origins but it does not. He would proudly inform them that the name resulted from a clever combination of two letters taken from each of the three names of Sig, Kail and Mariellen (his wife), or Si-Ka-Ma. Sig came from a strong Norwegian heritage of both parents but was actually born in Los Angeles, CA and thus had dual citizenship. His family moved back to Mandal in Norway in 1933 during the Great Depression in order to find an easier life with family relatives. He survived the Nazi occupation of Norway during WWII, and as a young lad got his start in radio operation and served in the Norwegian Merchant Marines as a radio officer. He eventually made his way back to the states where he later met and married Mariellen—the love of his life—in California, with his career advancing in the direction of the radio electronics industry. Later they settled in Santa Barbara and together raised 2 boys, Kail and Jarl, while Sig worked with various companies in the industry, eventually breaking out on his own with Kail. After enjoying the challenges of running a family business in the hybrid microelectronics industry for 32 years, serving as the President and CEO of Sikama, Sig officially retired in 2014 at the age of 88. Sig was also a Rotarian of 38 years and served on various Rotary, Elks, and Water boards throughout the community. He was a long time Ham Radio Operator and member of the local Amateur Radio Club. His grandsons have fond memories of their Grandpa Sig helping them build crystal radio sets and also how he magically transformed into being the perfect Santa Claus during Christmas time—when he volunteered to suit up in red and white with his dashing white hair and beard. Sig thoroughly enjoyed his family, participating in the Boy Scouts and the Seashells with his sons and later hosting many barbeques and pool parties not only for his local grandchildren, but visiting nieces and nephews from Norway with their families. He was immensely proud of starting a business with Kail and with Jarl becoming a ENT doctor with a successful medical practice back east. He went on to write a book he called “Sig” and dedicated it to Mariellen, in celebration of their life together and 60 years of marriage. Sig is preceded in death by Mariellen (2010). He is survived by his two sons Kail (Lori) Wathne and Dr. Jarl Wathne and grandsons Reese, Curtis and Garrett Wathne; and his brother Carl in Norway along with his many nieces and nephews and their children. Because of Covid-19, no memorial is planned at this time.

MERRITT, Leanna D’Andrea November 17, 1949 – September 11, 2020

Leanna (D’Andrea) Merritt passed away peacefully at Serenity House on September 11, 2020. Leanna was born in Santa Barbara, CA, on November 17, 1949 to parents Louise and Graciano D’Andrea. She attended local schools including Franklin Elementary, Cold Spring School, Santa Barbara Junior High, and Santa Barbara High School, graduating in the class of 1967. As a child and teenager she was surrounded by many close friends and cousins, most of whom still live in Santa Barbara today. Leanna spent her younger days raising her three beloved children: Jim, Jason, and Lanette, and worked hard giving them a happy and healthy childhood in Santa Barbara. She began her long insurance career with Dean & Estabrook and continued her tenure with agencies that combined forces including MFC&V, Manchester, DWP and Brown & Brown Insurance. Leanna was admired as an empathetic and supportive leader, and she was highly regarded among her colleagues before her retirement in 2019. When she wasn’t working, she enjoyed time with her book club and taking Pilates classes. She was also a proud member of the Italian Boot Club in Santa Barbara, and was elected to the Board in 2019. Leanna married Laurence Merritt on February 24, 1996 in Maui. They shared a joy of travel, taking many trips to Hawaii, Europe, and an unforgettable cruise to Alaska over the course of their marriage. Leanna was an independent, strong, beautiful, intelligent, and vibrant person who was known for her caring nature and infectious laugh. What she loved most was spending time with her husband, children, and grandchildren, and she was looking forward to more family time, travel, and time at the beach in her retirement. She is survived by her mother Louise D’Andrea, brother Gary D’Andrea (Theresa), aunt Catherine Romero, husband Larry Merritt, sons Jim Herrick and Jason Herrick (Kelly), daughter Lanette Oviedo (Rosendo), niece Nicole D’Andrea, and beloved grandchildren Christian Oviedo, and Jocelyn, Sophia, Spencer, and Tristan Herrick, as well as a granddaughter, Peyton Herrick, on the way. She had many cousins and members of her extended family whom she remained close to, and many friends that were in her life since childhood. Our family’s loss is immeasurable. We will miss her incredible sense of humor, her infectious laugh, and her ability to see the silver lining in every situation. In lieu of flowers, donations can be made in Leanna’s name to Ridley Tree Cancer Center. A celebration of life is being planned at the Santa Barbara Mission in October.

KLUSS, Gary Michael March 12, 1962 - September 13, 2020

Gary Kluss passed away suddenly on September 13, 2020. He leaves behind his heartbroken family members and friends, who will greatly miss him. Gary was born on March 12, 1962 to Janet and Ronald Kluss, the youngest of three children close in age. He and his sisters played together all through childhood. Wife Sandra credits Gary’s sisters with helping him later become such a sensitive and caring husband. Growing up in Santa Barbara, Gary attended Foothill School and La Colina Junior High, graduating from San Marcos High School in 1980. The friends he met in school and through Little League became lifelong friends, taking part in each others’ weddings and special events. Most of his career, Gary worked in medical sales; his territory covered most of the local clinics and labs and up the coast as far as San Luis Obispo. In 1993, Gary married his wife Sandra. They were a devoted couple for 29 years until Gary’s untimely passing at the age of 58. From a young age, Gary was involved in sports. He was a huge Los Angeles Dodgers fan and was a top player in City League baseball, eventually earning a place in the Santa Barbara Softball Club Hall of Fame. He was an outstanding and highly soughtafter pitcher with quick reflexes, able to stop line drives that would take out any normal person. He was a hitting machine and fast baserunner, turning singles into doubles or even triples. Friends who played with Gary in the 1980’s still share vivid memories of his team, the Tequila Shooters. Most importantly, his teammates remember his upbeat and infectious competitiveness and team spirit. Gary adored his wife Sandra above all else and devoted himself to caring for her, mother-in-law Eva, and rescue dogs Bella and Petey. They shared many happy years together, enjoying time with friends and family at home and traveling to Alaska, Hawaii, French Polynesia and Europe. Gary was a top-notch Ping Pong player and won a few tournaments on cruise ships for the coveted logo keychain, luggage tag, or casino voucher. He was always up for a fun game or two, especially while on vacation with Sandra. Everyone who knew Gary seemed to have a funny story about him. There was the time his co-workers in the lab gave his mom a card on Mother’s Day thanking her for giving birth to Gary. Or the time he tried to teach a friend to use a stick shift and the friend blew up Gary’s car. One friend remembered Gary as “one of life’s good people. Quiet, thoughtful, funny and kind. And he could bench press a mid-sized Toyota.” One thing everyone who knew Gary agreed on was that he was one of the best people they knew and he brought out the best in everyone he met. Gary’s nieces remember him as someone who lived a happy, carefree life, waking up each day with a smile. He had a goofy, contagious laugh, and they were never able to hold a conversation with him without laughing or smiling themselves. Co-workers remember Gary as loving a good, cold Coke and giving away bags full of his famous avocados. He was always willing to help his friends with anything. An old friend spoke for the rest of us when she said, “Loved this guy, so much.” Gary is survived by his loving wife Sandra Kluss, sisters Julie Kluss (Scott Bailey) and Terrie Kluss (Jesse Sambrano), mother-in-law Eva Esquivel, and sister and brother in law Marie and Rick Landof. Gary was a beloved uncle, nephew, and cousin to numerous others of our family, both living and deceased. He was preceded in death by parents Janet and Ronald Kluss. All who survive mourn his passing; He was a friend to all and truly represented the best in all of us. A memorial service will be held at a future time yet to be determined.

WILLIAMS, Arthur H.

Arthur H. Williams, (94) passed away peacefully, in Youngstown’s St Elizabeths Hospital on Sept 19 at 8 am. Known as “Art” or “88”, he was born on November 7, 1925 in Youngstown, Ohio to Arthur H.

Known by many as the “Western White House,” Rancho del Cielo is owned by Young America’s Foundation. It is preserved by staff members who are committed to honoring the legacy of former President Ronald Reagan.

Walking in his footsteps Preserving President Reagan’s Ranch and its simplistic legacy

At left, the Reagan Ranch is anything but a lavish, elegant or spacious palace that one might expect a sitting president to use as a getaway. At right, the home of the Reagans is an 1,800 square foot, one bedroom, cozy, rustic adobe farmhouse that represents the hard work and genuine character of a man, each decoration and piece of furniture as it was in its prime, telling timeless tales.

NEWS-PRESS STAFF WRITER

“There really aren’t a lot of clues that a sitting president lived here,” said Madison Habersetzer, the program officer of the Reagan Ranch and one of the tour guides. “It feels like they (the Reagans) could be sitting in the next room.” Ms. Habersetzer has worked at the ranch for over a year now, and told the News-Press that it’s important to “think about the things you don’t see” on the ranch. For one, visitors won’t see paved roads or presidential seals all over. Visitors experience bumpy dirt paths and see worn saddles, and the bell that President Reagan rang for his wife when the horses were ready to ride, along with the bell the First Lady rang when it was time for lunch. The couple lived quite like newlyweds in their time at the ranch, with minimal space, no air conditioning or heat and plenty of upkeep. They spent their time horseback riding for two hours each morning through the 20 miles of trails, breathing, thinking and praying. President Reagan always tried to learn more about the local region when he was at the ranch Please see REAGAN on B4

Former President Reagan and the First Lady spent the majority of their evenings alone together in the living room, watching their tiny, old-fashioned television or gazing out at the quiet pasture.

MaryEllen Uthlaut is a writer and homemaker in Charleston, S.C.

She checked it out, read it and started constructing. Her first-ever puzzle appeared in The Times in 2010. This is her third crossword for the paper and her first Sunday. â&#x20AC;&#x201D; W.S.

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

Sunday, September 27, 2020

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

Every number in the codeword grid is â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;codeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; for a letter of the alphabet. Thus the number 2 may correspond to the letter L, for instance. All puzzles come with a few letters to start you off. Your first move should be to enter these letters in the puzzle grid. If the letter S is in the box at the bottom of the page underneath the number 2, your first move should be to find all cells numbered 2 in the grid and enter the letter S. Cross the letter S off the list at the bottom of the grid. Remember that at the end you should have a different letter of the alphabet in each of the numbered boxes 1 - 26, and a word in English in each of the horizontal and vertical runs on the codeword grid.

Despite promise to stop, man resumes watching pornography

ear Abby: Can you tell me why men watch porn? My husband watches porn on the computer at all hours of the night. When I found out about it six months ago, he promised he would stop doing it, but I just realized that he still goes online and watches it when Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m asleep at night and early in the morning. Our sex life has diminished to almost nothing. I considered blocking the site on his computer, but is that a good idea? Please help me. How can I compete with this? â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Feeling Abigail Disrespected Van Buren Dear Feeling: Men watch porn because they are turned on by the visual. You have a right to a sex life, but meddling with your husbandâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s computer wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t fix your problem. Because your marital needs are not being met, frame your conversation with him that way. He may be addicted to online porn and unable to stop watching without a professional intervention. P.S. Please stop comparing yourself with what your husband is viewing on screen, because what he is seeing isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t real. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s show business. And itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s about as authentic as â&#x20AC;&#x153;Guardians of the Galaxy.â&#x20AC;? Dear Abby: My wife and I have been married 13 years and have two young sons. Sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a free spirit. She likes to independently make a lot of decisions that affect us both. This has led to arguments about what should or should not be decided on together. We have had years of counseling with multiple professionals. Frankly, I feel she ignores my opinions and concerns if I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t agree with her position on an issue. She will commit to a compromise, then turn around and do what she wants anyway. Recently, she brought up having permanent eyebrow makeup done on an international trip she was taking without me. I asked her to wait until she returned so we could discuss it further before she jumped into it. Despite promising not to, she did it anyway, and I think it looks awful. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m left feeling my trust in her has been further damaged and I have a reminder of it staring me in the face on a daily basis. How can I trust her in the future? How can I get past looking at her ugly choice every day? â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Disgusted in Arizona Dear Disgusted: If â&#x20AC;&#x153;years of counselingâ&#x20AC;? havenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t worked for the two of you, I think itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s fair to conclude that you and your wife have a troubled marriage. While some might say that itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s your wifeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s face and what she puts on it is her business, if a daily reminder of her broken promise to you is a deal-breaker, it may be time to consider whether you can forgive her or if it would be in everyoneâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s best interests to go your separate ways. In marriage there is supposed to be compromise. If you are staying because of your sons, take into consideration that because your relationship with your wife is dysfunctional, the tension your boys are exposed to on a daily basis is not healthy. 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.

How can I cope with husbandâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s family dramas?

ear Carolyn: My husbandâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s family is super dramatic â&#x20AC;&#x201D; constantly fighting or talking about one another or dissecting the fight between other family members. For me this is grounds for staying away, but they just keep on gathering while complaining about one another. My husband is not much of a participant and we do keep our distance, but sometimes he gets caught up in it and I canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t escape when Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m with them. How to cope other than to yell that I think they are all royally [messed] up and should stop interacting at all if this is the best they can do? â&#x20AC;&#x201D; In-Law In-Law: Well, thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s one opinion. They apparently think otherwise. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m with you, but itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not our call. As long as their drama merely annoys you vs. causing you harm, then you have the option to just accept this as the channel theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re tuned to and to quit hoping theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll put on something more interesting. That analogy is personal for me: The literal version, a TV on constantly when no oneâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s really watching it, makes me crazy â&#x20AC;&#x201D; but itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not actively harmful to me. So when Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m visiting peopleâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s homes or stuck in waiting rooms where the TV blares away unwatched, I put up with it. I want the people in my life or I need the appointment, so I manage. You want your husband in your life and he wants his family in his life, and he seems to have escaped the worst of these tendencies himself, and youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re already limiting your exposure to them, so ... you can decide to go Zen on the dysfunctional reality show they leave blaring all day during your infrequent visits. This solution may seem inadequate to the

TONIGHT

task, but itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a deceptively big emotional step to take â&#x20AC;&#x201D; to decide to give up on vindication, on ever being proven right about this family or effective at fixing them. If youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re feeling ambitious: The surest way to eliminate frustration is to learn to want what you already have, so make it your goal â&#x20AC;&#x201D; the plot of your own inner reality show â&#x20AC;&#x201D; to find things to like. The rich anthropological material, perhaps, if you canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t find anything else. Hi, Carolyn: I have to make a difficult decision between moving away for a new job, which means big upheaval but a great job, and staying here to get an advanced degree and telework with a new company. This could be OK, but has a lot of unknowns. I am so torn my stomach is in knots, and I have to make a decision soon. Any advice on how to approach this? My current job is somewhat toxic. â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Struggling Struggling: When careful research shows neither option is clearly superior, that could be the definition of a tough decision â&#x20AC;&#x201D; or the opposite. If neither is clearly right, then neitherâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s clearly wrong. So why not treat both as good options? Flip a coin, read your feelings, go with it. Life is complicated, we canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t see the future, and we certainly canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t see the alternate realities we would be living if we hadnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t made this or that faulty choice. Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s only: 1. What we choose; 2. What we actually get; 3. How we handle it. Save your strength for No. 3, where the real work of contentment gets done. Email Carolyn at tellme@washpost.com or chat with her online at 9 a.m. each Friday at www. washingtonpost.com.

RAFAEL MALDONADO/NEWS-PRESS PHOTOS

At left, with 20 miles of trails on the property, President Reagan said he would often ride up to a few scenic points and these are the places he would make important decisions, calling the top of the mountains his “open cathedral.” At right, Former President Ronald Reagan, seen here saluting a service member, spent nearly a full year of time at the ranch during his eight-year presidency, fully equipped with his communications team and secret service agents, who navigated securing the property while keeping it as natural as possible, per the president’s request.

Continued from Page B1 as well. His shelves included many history books about the Channel Islands and the general history of Santa Barbara. He also incorporated Chumash Indian relics into his decor. “He really did love Santa Barbara history and California history,” said Alec Sackett, the development officer for the ranch. “What you see today is only a result of his vision and his own two hands put to work.” Mr. Sackett has spent the last four years at the ranch, and told the News-Press the ranch is all about the character of President Reagan and shows how he was a good leader, and a good man. The Reagans spent nearly a full year of time at the ranch during his eight-year presidency, fully equipped with his communications team and secret service agents, who navigated securing the property while keeping it as natural as possible, per the president’s request. In addition, President Reagan built and fixed up much of the property, balancing his complex, high-pressure job with physical grunt work, referring to the ranch as his place to “recharge his batteries.”

Queen Elizabeth II, Margaret Thatcher, Mikhail Gorbachev, the Bushes and Canadian Prime Minister Brian Mulroney are just a few of the notable guests the Reagans hosted at their humble abode. However, the president and First Lady spent the majority of their evenings alone together in the living room, watching their tiny, old-fashioned television or gazing out at the quiet pasture. “We’re very mindful of the fact that we’re stewards of an incredibly important place, so the preservation aspect of it is really integral to the project,” said Andrew Coffin, the director of the Reagan Ranch and vice president of YAF. “You walk in the house and his books are on the bookshelves, his clothes in the closet, saddles, chainsaws, jeep... all still just as he left it, which I think makes it a very intimate experience. You really feel like you’re getting to know a person.” The ranch has a full-time ranch manager and ranch hand that live on site. YAF offers tours to groups of high school and college students, and select supporters of the foundation. The nonprofit also holds events at the property on occasion, the most recent being the 9/11: Never Forget Project. Other than that, the ranch is closed off to the public. Amid

COVID-19, staff members have conducted live virtual tours for students over Zoom, where they can engage and ask questions, in order to replicate what would be hundreds of high school and college students touring the property in person under normal circumstances. Ranch staff members hope to give visitors an experience that they can reflect on, learning from a leader of the nation who kept it simple, and lived out his dream that’s attainable for every American. As the years go by, students may not be familiar with President Reagan’s time in office, but the ranch provides a unique glimpse into his life as a regular man and a role model. “Whatever your political persuasion, this is an essential place in Santa Barbara’s history to protect and share,” Mr. Coffin told the News-Press. “In addition to saving that pristine 688 acres along the Gaviota coast, creating the Center in downtown Santa Barbara so that visitors from around the world know that this was Ronald Reagan’s home… I think it’s an important part of our community that I hope a broad spectrum of people can embrace.” email: gmccormick@newspress. com

At left, the couple lived quite like newlyweds in their time at the ranch, with minimal space, no air conditioning or heat and plenty of upkeep. They spent their time horseback riding for two hours each morning through the 20 miles of trails, breathing, thinking and praying. At right, considered by staff as a peaceful time capsule full of priceless memories, the ranch still features many relics YAF aims to keep just how the Reagans left it on their last visit in 1995. The showerhead shaped like Liberty Bell in the Reagan’s bathroom is one of the many unique, charming aspects of the residence.
