Henry Hepp, deckhand for Ray Kennedy’s fishing vessel “Rain Man,” celebrates the return of lobster season which is set to begin on Wednesday.

By JORGE MERCADO NEWS-PRESS STAFF WRITER

With lobster season fast approaching, for some it means the return of one of the best seafood delicacies out there. But for Ray Kennedy, it’s a chance to return to the ocean one more time and enjoy doing what he’s loved nearly his whole life: catching lobsters. “I’ve been doing this for 30 years now and I believe I was fish in a former life, so I just always gravitate back to the ocean,” Mr. Kennedy, CEO of Defiance Seafoods and the man who runs the fishing vessel “Rain Man,” said with a laugh. “I have been a surfer, a spear fisherman diver since I was a teen so getting into this line of work has always just been natural for me.” For three decades, Mr. Kennedy has been involved in catching and selling lobsters, both locally and internationally. The official start of the lobster season is Wednesday, the first time fishermen can go out and legally catch and retain lobsters. It also means that this Saturday, for the first time in months, Mr. Kennedy will be there selling the special crawfish that’s only in season for about six months of the year. “There tends to be a little bit of lobster fever right about this time and people get a little excited about it and it’s a good thing to be excited about as far as I’m concerned,” Mr. Kennedy said. For years, Mr. Kennedy and his deckhand, Henry Hepp, have gone out and caught lobster during this time. This year will be no different as since it’s just the two of them, they can successfully adhere to social distancing guidelines. Unfortunately, the novel coronavirus

As some elementary schools continue with distance learning, in-person education isn’t the only thing that students are missing out on. They have also been without recess. Combined with a surplus of screen time as students learn from home, many could be falling short of their daily physical activity goals. With this in mind, Village Properties recently donated 1,000

American Heart Association Kids Heart Challenge jump ropes to four local elementary schools. The AHA recommends that kids between 6 and 17 get at least 60 minutes of moderate to vigorous physical activity on a daily basis. The jump ropes will be added to the students’ lunches this week at Adams, Cleveland McKinley and Santa Barbara Charter schools aimed at helping meet this goal. Renee Grubb, owner of Village Properties, helped deliver the jump ropes on Thursday. She Please see JUMP ROPES on A5

Forest Service extends state-wide campsite and picnic area closures

WS-PRESS STAFF WRITER

Developed recreation sites in California will rein closed through May 15 after the USDA ForService issued an order extending the closures ursday. The order was issued for the entire Pacific Southst Region and its 18 National Forests, which indes the Los Padres National Forest. The initial closure order went into effect March 26 d was set to expire April 30. t applied to recreational use areas such as campunds, day use sites and picnic areas. The order was issued to discourage large gathers of people and promote safe social distancing of ying more than six feet apart. n the Santa Barbara Ranger District, 12 campunds and picnic areas will remain closed, includthe Fremont campground and White Rock and d Rock picnic areas. The order Thursday does not add to the closures eady in place for Santa Barbara. While other arlike the Monterey Ranger District have closed ilheads and forest roads, locals will still have acs to the many Santa Ynez Valley and Santa Bar-

bara Front Country trails and access roads. “What we’re seeing a lot of folks are doing is they’re driving up alongside of the road and just going for hikes up there. That’s ok. There’s not an order against hiking trails,� said Andew Madsen, U.S. Forest Service spokesman. “We just want to make sure if people go out they’re safely spaced between one another. If you get to a trailhead and there’s just too many cars there, you should find a different area to go to as opposed to trying to get in.� As state and local responses to the coronavirus pandemic continue to evolve, the Forest Service felt that the situation warranted a two week extension of the closures, said Mr. Madsen. “At the end of that they’ll evaluate and see where we’re at and whether or not we’re going to continue as we need it,� said Mr. Madsen. “This order can be rescinded at any time. If local health officials say it looks like the sky has cleared up we can rescind the order tomorrow. For right now, we don’t want to extend it out too far. “We just want to make sure in the next couple of weeks as we monitor what’s going on that we are taking the appropriate steps along with our state and local partners.�

Chuck’s Waterfront Grill and Endless Summer Bar Cafe close permanently By JOSH GREGA NEWS-PRESS STAFF WRITER

More than 20 years after they first opened, Chuck’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, “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€? Despite the current economic chaos due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the prospect of Chuck’s and Endless Summer ceasing operation dates back to before the outbreak. According to the agenda of a March 24 Santa Barbara City Council meeting in which assignment of the restaurant’s lease to a new operator was the first item, Chuck’s and Endless Summer co-owner Steve Hyslop informed the Waterfront Department of his desire to sell the establishment in August 2019. After receiving the department’s lease assignment requirements, Mr. Hyslop began searching for a new buyer and ultimately found it in businessman Aaron Petersen, who operates a number of restaurants in Solvang including Chomp, The Coffee House by Chomp,

Brekkies by Chomp, and Mortensen’s Danish Bakery. The initial lease for the Chuck’s and Endless Summer property is 10 years with four, five-year options to extend the term of the lease. Mr. Petersen is inheriting the existing lease with only the four, five-year options remaining, with an average seasonally adjusted base rent of $23,585 per month. Though Mr. Petersen plans to continue running Chuck’s and Endless Summer in line with its current operation for a time, the restaurant has upgrades planned for around the fall. According to the agenda, under Mr. Petersen’s business plan the second floor of the establishment will be converted into a traditional deli cafĂŠ focused on sandwiches, soups, and salads, with a gourmet grocery area selling wine, beer, and prepackaged foods. For evenings, the second floor will have a full bar and a dinner menu focusing on “adult food and beverages.â€? The restaurant’s ground floor is proposed to be similar to Mr. Petersen’s Chomp restaurants. Its menu of burgers, fries, and shakes will cater to families, young adults, and retirees, and for evenings will be converted to a “dinner type atmosphere.â€? email: jgrega@newspress.com

Ray Kennedy said he will be selling his lobster for the first time this year during Saturday’s Fisherman Market next weekend.

Tariffs, pandemic put dent in sales to China LOBSTER

“It’s definitely a rush. It’s just a really fun thing to pull it up every trap seeing what’s in it, taking your knowledge and trying to readjust to maybe catch a few more. I’m still having a lot of fun doing it and I don’t plan on quitting anytime soon,” Mr. Kennedy said.

Continued from Page A1 that happening until there’s a change in the White House. “It really can’t happen until we adapt our policies toward China that are a little bit more trade friendly. Interestingly enough, there have been sanctions put on so many Chinese products and we were one of the few businesses with lobster that were putting a dent in that international trade deficit with China, yet that’s been kind of shut down by the retaliatory tariffs and they’re not exactly welcoming our imports at this time,” he said. The COVID-19 pandemic exacerbated the issue as the cancelation of international flights made it even more impossible to get the lobster to China even if there was interest. Regardless, Mr. Kennedy said he is more than optimistic that they can make up some revenue here locally. Santa Barbara County resides along the ocean and, as a result, there are many seafood restaurants that always welcome lobster to their menu. “We are always optimistic. I think that there is a certain amount of domestic demand and in addition we can market through our fishermen’s market on Saturday mornings and work on some other direct marketing ideas so that some of the local consumers can actually get a hold of this product that is very much sought after. It’s a real delicacy but usually not available in quantity like it might be this year on a local basis,” Mr. Kennedy said. He added that it’s this hope that will continue having Mr. Kennedy and his deckhand out in the ocean as much as any normal year and catching as many lobsters as they can. “There has been a lot of demand during this pandemic for fresh and local seafood, so I thought that regardless of what happened with the international market, I had a certain amount of confidence in the local markets, the domestic markets, would have the kind of demand that would encourage us to kind of follow business as normal,” Mr. Kennedy

said. “We’re going to fish, we’re going to see what we can catch, we’re going to see how we can market that to the best of our abilities, but it’s an excellent opportunity for the local consumers here to taste something that’s pretty spectacular.” While the market will still need to play itself out, Mr. Kennedy said he can’t rule out the possibility that the local market for lobster might be cheaper this year than in previous years. He said in previous years when the domestic market is lower, restaurants jump at the opportunity, citing that when it’s on the higher end around $75 to $100 a plate the demand dips a bit. Mr. Kennedy also added that local fisherman down at the market also may take more of an interest if the prices are lower here. “This might be an excellent opportunity for some of the other local restaurants to jump back in and find a way to market our local lobster,” he said. “We never really know what’s going to happen, but we have enjoyed over the last 15 years some really great wholesale prices so we are just hoping for the best and prepared to be cautious on the other hand. “Our prices are really determined by those wholesale buyers and that is subject to the standards of supply and demand so that’s always something that we have to deal with. Obviously as a businessman I’m hoping for things

on the upside. “Sometimes it doesn’t work out that way and other times it’s pretty reasonable and pretty fruitful.” Catching lobster is also a very sustainable process. Because the catching season only runs from early October until mid-March, Mr. Kennedy said it’s the perfect amount of time for them to have a safe breeding season and for there to be a plentiful amount of lobster in the sea to not upset the ecosystem. “It’s a great resource and it has been deemed a very sustainable resource. It has a rigorous fisheries management plan enforced that ensures that by allowing a good breeding season,” Mr. Kennedy said. During the other half of the year, Mr. Kennedy said he tries catching other fish such as yellow tail, tuna and swordfish but nothing compares to catching lobster. “Lobster is my mainstay and that’s what pays the bills for myself and my family,” he said. For the 64-year old, there’s still nothing quite like catching a lobster during this six-month window. “It’s definitely a rush. It’s just a really fun thing to pull it up every trap, seeing what’s in it, taking your knowledge and trying to readjust to maybe catch a few more,” Mr. Kennedy said. “I’m still having a lot of fun doing it and I don’t plan on quitting anytime soon.” email: jmercado@newspress.com

‘I couldn’t pass up the opportunity to have that greater impact’ yates

county. Ms. Yates first became involved in animal welfare in 2002 upon arriving in Santa Barbara. In search for community involvement, she visited the shelter looking to volunteer and within a week was helping clean the cages at ASAP. She has since taken on various roles, including serving as board president and eventually executive director for the past eight years. Ms. Yates told the News-Press it was “bittersweet” to leave ASAP, but is excited about her new opportunity. “I love ASAP and I loved my role there and it will always be near and dear to my heart,” she said. “They’re just a phenomenal organization, but I also felt like that in taking on the role with Animal Services that I could have a much greater impact on all of the animals in the county. “I couldn’t pass up the opportunity to have that greater impact.” An only child who grew up with cats, dogs, a guinea pig and a duck, Ms. Yates has always had a strong bond with animals. While her most recent experience has involved strictly felines, she is confident that she can help assist all types of animals at the county’s three shelters, including Santa Barbara, Santa Maria and Lompoc. “The fundamental best practices and sheltering and the policies and how we manage the shelter system moves across all species,” she said, adding that ASAP has previously partnered with C.A.R.E.4Paws, the local Humane Society and Animal Services. She intends on spending the first month or so getting to know her team. ASAP has eight full-time staff members and, at one point, as many as 250 volunteers. They all worked at the same facility. Animal Services has 36 staff members and operates out of the three shelters. “In some ways it’s a much larger staffing at animal services, but in some ways not,” she said. “I think one of the biggest changes or differences is that there’s three physical shelters in our county that animal services is responsible for... and I think for the size of our county, it’s an interesting thing to try and straddle three different physical locations and provide really high-quality services to the community at each of them.” Ms. Yates anticipates more administrative work in her new role, but explained that she fully intends on taking her breaks and walking one of the dogs at the shelter. The shelter cares for any and all companion animals, including chickens, roosters, or exotic species. Ms. Yates said that the current environment serves as an exciting time to review the sheltering system. As has been the case with

countless businesses, the COVID-19 pandemic has led officials throughout the country to rethink the animal sheltering model. All animals were cleared out of the shelters when the pandemic hit, with many of the animals going to foster homes. “Through that process of engaging with the community, and seeing how these animals responded in foster homes versus the shelter, it really sort of broke down some of these assumptions that we had around temporary fostering and empowering the community to help us with solutions and actually delegating some adoption responsibilities to the community and fosters and letting them advocate for the animals that they had in their care,” she explained. “It’s been so beneficial, both for the animals and the people involved, that it spurred a whole national conversation in the industry around, ‘How can we do this better?’ “The human-animal bond is so profound and people really feel like their cats and dogs, or their guinea pigs and rabbits, are members of their family.” Regardless of what changes may come about, Ms. Yates said it would be done through partnership. “It’s not going to just be on Animal Services. We’re going to really have to look at our partnerships and the organizations and how can we dovetail and support each other in moving our whole community forward with this,” she said. “I think the fact that I’m a

known entity and I have really strong ties to the community, I think there’s a lot of trust since I’ve been working on these issues for a long time here. I think that will help. We’ve navigated some challenges over the past two decades. I don’t look at this so much as a challenge but just a tremendous opportunity.” Ms. Yates currently owns one pet, a 13-yearold tabby cat named Alfalfa, who arrived at ASAP when he was just one day old. “I’ve raised him since he weighed probably about three ounces,” she said. “He’s 13 lbs. now. I’m the only mom he’s ever known. I bottle-fed him just like an infant through the night.” Ms. Yates tried to introduce a new cat into her home a few months ago, though Alfalfa made it clear that he would be the only cat in the home. “He went on a hunger strike and refused to eat,” she said. “A lot of drama and some vet bills, and I finally said, ‘Alright, I surrender. You’re going to be the king of the house.’” One could say she is well qualified for her new position. Her mother served as a docent at the Houston Zoo when she was growing up, allowing her to handle snakes, lizards, ferrets, a skunk and even a hedgehog. Her master thesis in graduate school was on sharks. “I’ve kind of run the gamut,” she said. “I haven’t run into animals that challenge me. I’m fascinated by them. There’s always something to learn.” email: mwhite@newspress.com

Renee Grubb, right, owner of Village Properties, has been a long-time supporter of the American Heart Association. She has been involved in various AHA events and formerly served as the chair for the local chapter.

Donation intended to encourage kids to exercise and stay healthy JUMP ROPES

told the News-Press that the local schools were very appreciative of the donation. Adams School principal Kelly Fresch was so excited she even opened a package and started jump roping herself. “It was a really fun afternoon,” said Ms. Grubb, a long-time supporter of the AHA. “I’ve just always thought if we can give each child as much help as we can to get through school, to learn as much as they can, they’re just going to be better citizens, they’re going to be happier, they’ll get better jobs, and hopefully a lot of them will go off to college,” she explained. “I just think that our youth are extremely important.” With so much downtime in recent months due to the pandemic, Ms. Grubb hopes that the donation will help kids exercise and remain healthy. Ms. Grubb served as the board chair for the Santa Barbara AHA chapter until earlier this year. When the COVID-19 pandemic caused widespread closures, AHA decided to close the local chapter. That didn’t prevent Ms. Grubb from continuing to assist. Village Properties has been involved with countless events over the years with the AHA. The real estate agency would have a team participate in the annual heart walk, and Ms. Grubb has also been involved with the group’s “Go Red” campaign. She also has a personal appreciation for the work done by the leading voluntary health organization focused on heart and brain health. Ms. Grubb’s father had heart disease and her mother suffered from a stroke. The AHA is known for providing guidance on both these ailments, teaching

people how to identify if someone is having a stroke, while also educating people on how to prevent a stroke and heart disease. “They’re the place to go when you need that kind of information, and they just do so much proactively for both the heart and strokes. It’s just been one of those things that I’ve felt I needed to give back to,” Ms. Grubb said. The recent donation isn’t the only endeavor Ms. Grubb is involved with to help local schools. In 2002, The Village Properties Teachers Fund was established to assist local teachers with the purchase of supplies, materials and equipment needed for classrooms. The group has given out more than $1 million since its inception, including exceeding its $50,000 goal a year ago. The Teachers Fund fundraiser for this year is underway, only this time online. Last year, the group hosted a golf tournament and hosted teachers and gave out prizes. The pandemic prevented the group from holding an in-person event this year, so all events are conducted via Zoom, Ms. Grubb explained. More requests have been submitted by local teachers this year, and the Teachers Fund helped provide items during the summer. Teachers were in need of software to adapt to distance learning, such as headsets, iPads, or even computers. “We’ve been funding a lot of those over the summer just to help the teachers get set up for their school year,” Ms. Grubb explained. The fundraiser is aimed at helping teachers receive all the items they need. To learn more, visit https://teachersfund.org. email: mwhite@newspress.com Jump ropes were also delivered to Cleveland School to help the children reach their daily physical activity goals while learning at home.

5276 Hollister Avenue, Suite 108 Santa Barbara

On Thursday night, Rep. Salud Carbajal, D-Santa Barbra, voted to pass an updated version of the HEROES Act. The House passed the bill by a 214-207 vote. The amended legislation refines House Democrats’ negotiating position to address the needs that have developed since the HEROES Act passed in May. The updated bill totals $2.2 trillion and includes additional relief for unemployed workers, another round of direct payments, support for small businesses by improving the Paycheck Protection Program, and targeted assistance to restaurants, nonprofits and event venues. More than $300 million would be invested in local governments on the Central Coast, which includes funds to help schools reopen and for childcare, Rep. Carbajal said in a statement. “I am proud to have voted for four COVID-19 stimulus packages which were signed into law, but it is clear that those bills alone are not enough to truly address the challenges facing our communities. That’s why I voted to pass two additional coronavirus relief bills in the House, which will provide the assistance individuals, families, local governments, and small businesses on the Central Coast urgently need. The Senate cannot continue to sit idly by as Americans continue to suffer,� said Rep. Carbajal. “I remain hopeful a bipartisan compromise will emerge from this package so we can deliver for Americans in need. Lives, jobs, and the future of our economy are on the line.� The House formerly passed five

gUEST OPINION

T

here are several variations from a wonderful line in a Marx Brothers movie, where Groucho asks, “Who are you going to believe, me or your lying eyes?” It is but a variation on another classic observation: “The emperor is wearing no clothes.” California likes to pretend it is a leader of the world in all things, not the least of which is paving the way towards a fossil fuel-free existence. The truth is altogether different. California is, in fact, the nation’s leader in its dependence upon electricity generation that it must import from other states along with the amount of oil and gas it has to import from other nations. That is, California is nothing but a great pretender when it comes to being a worldwide leader in demonstrating that a fossil-free, 100% greenhouse gasfree economy and society is a possibility. How bad are your eyes lying to you? Know this: Electricity is a secondary power source that must

Ironically, these two plants were the major source of greenhousegas-free electricity in our state, 20% of our total generation capacity to be exact, yet, they were not considered “renewable,” so they had to go. Meanwhile, California’s recordsetting fire season, mostly sparked by that same lightning that we failed to capture and store, just lit up a few million of our state’s 140 million dead trees. That is a problem in view of the fact that these burning trees just released more carbon than our state produces on a yearly basis. Hence, our failure to manage our forests could be considered a significant precursor to climate change, but don’t tell Gov. Newsom that he obviously enjoys living in a fantasy. In the meantime, the reliable and sustainable energy sector job killing spree continues unabated.

letters to the news-press A ‘real laugher’

L

ast Sunday’s letter urging people to disregard Donald Trump’s character “flaws” and re-elect him was a real laugher. The letter’s light tone suggests “flaws” to mean something trivial, like deducting $70,000 on his income tax for haircuts or declaring bankruptcy six times and stiffing creditors and small businessmen as a result. When I think of “flaws” in Comrade Trump’s character, I think of a draft-dodging coward who thinks that people like me and my father (a disabled World War II veteran) are suckers and losers for enlisting in the military during a time of war. To think that a person like this has been elevated to commander-in-chief makes me want to puke. I also think of the tens of thousands (and growing) of American lives that could have been saved had he not mismanaged the country’s COVID-19 response and his extreme vanity and refusal to wear a mask as an example to his fellow citizens, many of whom are influenced by anything he says and does. Finally, if Randy from Solvang wants to vote for Mr. Trump, so be it, but, like

Rick Perry, former Republican governor of Texas, said before the 2016 election, Mr. Trump is like a “cancer.” I agree, and, after watching Tuesday night’s debate, it appears to be getting more and more malignant. We need to rid ourselves of it. Russ Cross Solvang

Not a Chris Wallace fan

W

as the moderator from Fox News, Chris Wallace, running for election or President Trump? He spent more time debating Mr. Trump than Joe Biden did. Mr. Wallace was totally biased against Mr. Trump and gave him more pointed cross examinations than he did with the softballs to Mr. Biden. Mr. Wallace hates Mr. Trump and showed it with his biased operations. Mr. Biden, on the other hand, had nothing to offer but invectives toward Mr. Trump, and pushed his trillions of dollars “Green New Deal” of tearing down millions of homes and buildings and putting up expansive green buildings as his

economic plan for our future. He is totally under the control of the socialist. As an 86-year-old senior, I am disgusted with Fox, which did no service to we voters by its biased pro-Biden so-called debate program. Its display of this debate was a farce and we do not need another such nonsense again. Mail-in ballots have arrived, and voters are mailing in their votes a month ahead of the Nov. 3 election. Justin M. Ruhge Lompoc

Plenty of hypocrisy e are now hearing bitter W complaints of Republican hypocrisy and foul play in

seeking the appointment of a Supreme Court Justice so soon after the parting of Ruth Bader Ginsburg. In searching the Constitution, I was unable to find a provision barring the appointment of judges during the last year of a presidential term. The president does not cease being president during an election year. None of this turmoil should be happening. The Supreme Court should only be in the business

of interpreting written law and determining constitutionality. It should not be the creators of new law — that’s the job of Congress, the elected policy makers. Unfortunately, the Democrats rely on the Court to enact laws that the voting public would never support. It’s a strategy that has worked well in past years. This may soon end. It’s apparent that Amy Coney Barrett, who currently serves as a circuit judge on the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Seventh Circuit, will be our new justice. Think of A.C.B. instead of R.B.G. She’s a mother of seven and a Catholic. Let’s see what dirt the Democrats can create prior to the Senate confirmation hearings. The bottom line with this is obvious to all but the most naive observer. If the circumstances were reversed, would the Democrats wait until after the election to choose a Supreme Court Justice? Keep in mind that they were already talking about packing the court and abolishing the electoral system long before the news of R.B.G.’s departure. In Washington there is always plenty of hypocrisy to go around. John Hammerel Santa Barbara

O

ur primary message for the last several weeks will continue to be the importance of your vote. Ballots were mailed out Monday, and two of our groups received their ballots on Tuesday. The rest of us are waiting. We saw on the news that if you do not receive your ballot between Oct. 10 and Oct.15, you must call, or go into the County Elections Office at 4440-A Calle Real. We cannot encourage you enough to vote! Last Monday, 227,000 ballots were escorted to the post office by two sheriff’s officials for Santa Barbara County’s 14 cities and towns. These ballots are meant for registered voters only. This would mean 227,000 people vote in SB County out of a population of 446,499. That means that 219,000 citizens are ineligible to vote because they are underage, or they are not citizens. Other reasons for

ineligibility include parolees, Carpinteria City Hall or Casa De the mentally incapable or due Las Flores, which is overseen to just a simple unwillingness to by Peoples’ Self-Help Housing; participate in voting.

Another quirky aspect — and out of the ordinary — involves the fact that the County Voter Guide with candidate’s statements lawfully must come BEFORE your ballot. So far the process is off quilter. Ballots were mailed before the candidate statements. Per the Elections Office, the County Guide should arrive shortly. More doublespeak: The deadline to register to vote is Oct. 19. However, you can “conditionally” register and vote at your county elections office or voting location after the 15-day voter registration deadline. What is a deadline if it does not matter? Could not a person vote absentee in a location before the election, then vote again when they register “conditionally” in a different place? Is that the same as a country without borders?

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.

I don’t believe that more be filled with the insane rage we legislators like my opponent

should be elected, to advance failed Marxist and social justice agendas in California or anywhere. I don’t believe Californians should trade our shared American values for mindless state overlords. It’s ironic then, that a selfproclaimed young Ms. Carrillo, who seems determined to shake up the establishment with ad hominem attacks and pipe-dream revolution, would champion my opponent, a career politician who collects three pensions and now seeks a fourth legislature one. Nothing says “leader for the future� like sending a guy who’s been in government for 37 years to Sacramento. The people of California are tiring of these nanny state, taxand-spend legislators. And I am riding that wave, as an energetic, practical young man who’s not in it for the money. I care about you, your jobs, your homes, your business and family. And I believe government should get out of the way, and make it easy for new businesses, new jobs and new homes to be built so you can have a life. That is the government’s job. Now it’s time to vote. Mailin ballots are already arriving and no ballot statements as yet. So shall we listen to the likes of Ms. Carrillo? Do we want riots, arson, looting, cop killing, endless debt, lockdowns, lawsuits against business and churches? Shall we run our state on feelings, rage, division and hatred? Or shall we use reason, logic, evidence and kindness as our guides? I prefer the latter, and I will fight for those values when I’m elected in November. I’ll be your voice of reason, logic and kindness in the Assembly. I will defend the United States Constitutional protections we are guaranteed through all of its 27 Amendments. These include, but are not limited to, the right to work whenever, and for whomever we may choose; to assemble peacefully and seek redress of grievances; to our own defense for the defense of our life and family; to possess property and not be taxed out of it. These protections are not guaranteed by the state of California. But they are guaranteed in our federal Constitution. They arise from nature itself, not from any human source. Thank you, for reading what I actually believe.

However, that segment of society has also become politicized, unconscionably so. The point is that we can make a huge difference in education by acknowledging what Condoleezza Rice, a former secretary of state, has referred to as the real “civil rights issue of our time.� Reform can come about at many levels. Just as an example, we can acknowledge the tremendous value of the school voucher program. This should be done now. Throwing more billions at a broken system, while at the same time ignoring the part of the educational system that works so well, resolves nothing. The contrast could not be more stark. Under a Biden Administration, we can plan on increased regulations, the stifling of the economy only just beginning to recover, and an abandonment of the economic system that has made our country so long a model for the rest of the world. Biden’s commitment, indeed his loud and trumpeted threat, to “get rid of shareholder capitalism� makes no sense whatsoever, but it

certainly seems to be a convenient “bumper sticker� talking point. It utterly, and no doubt deliberately, ignores the fact that 45% of our population participates in the stock and bond market, through their retirement plans (401K, 403b, 457 and IRA). More than 55% of the U.S. population owns stocks. By simple definition, therefore, the dismissive suggestion that we should simply “get rid of shareholder capitalism� is a recipe for complete disaster and financial collapse. We don’t need any more shallow and silly “bumper sticker� talking points. We need reasoned and thoughtful solutions. What we all need to understand is how critical our 2020 vote is. Our future, and the future of our children, will be determined with this election, more so than at any time in our lifetimes. People need to keep that in mind and not make decisions based upon the convenient and catchy slogans of the day. Emotion is not a substitute for reason. Neither is the volume of one’s voice a replacement for thoughtful discourse.

are to be realized, which is the undoubted hope and desire of all Americans of every stripe, we must begin this process. Simply stated, race is not to blame for the disparity in wealth in this country, and race-baiting policies will not solve the problem. Indeed, the blame is far less about racism than about the perverse incentives of the welfare state, and the deplorable status of innercity educational opportunities. We cannot expect a quick fix for a problem decades in the making. Just as an example, we have a public school educational system that is grossly underperforming, in some areas to the point of near collapse. We could begin with an overhaul of the public school educational system, requiring responsibility and accountability as a basic premise. This is not to understate the contributions of those teachers who remain dedicated to their profession, and who care deeply about their students.

Still waiting to receive the candidates’ statements donovan

have not received any answer from the city except for requests for extensions. If you too want to track your vote, go to the Secretary Of State’s My Voter Status online (voterstatus.sos. ca.gov), or call the Elections Office at 805-568-2200. Did You Know? is studying the Voter Guide we received. However, it contains only the propositions. We wanted to discuss some of our picks, but are still waiting to receive the candidates’ statements. Please take the time to study all the propositions and all the candidates before voting. Don’t rush. In fact, the ballots are not due until Nov. 3. There are still 30 days to educate yourself and make an informed decision. Speaking of ramifications of a vote without scrutinizing the consequences: Revisiting the outcome of a vote which was cast during the election November 2017, the one which increased our sales tax to save the city’s critical infrastructure and essential community services, aka Measure C. Transportation’s Rob Dayton is spending $200,000

of Measure C money for what he considers improvements to the State Street pedestrian promenade. These include “temporary� plastic planters at each intersection, tacky string lights traversing the street, green paint for the bike path down the middle of State Street at each intersection, and signs directing the pedestrians off of the promenade and onto the sidewalk, out of the bicyclists’ way. Mr. Dayton appears to have commandeered all the decisions for the State Street Pedestrian Promenade. We wonder why bicyclists, including electric bikes, are garnering such prominence in these decisions for State Street, which holds such historical and diverse interest. Who has invested in these electric bicycles? Remember when State Street was first closed to vehicles due to COVID-19, to stimulate business downtown? It was presented to the public and the Santa Barbara City Council as the “State Street pedestrian promenade.� Now State Street will host electric bikes, which can travel an average speed of up to 17

mph. Is this the sort of political favor that was noted in the city’s Novak Report, which was an investigation done to discover the problems in the city’s Community Development Department? The report stated that although the many review boards and commissions were cumbersome, these are the same boards (Architectural Board Review, Historic Landmark and Planning Commission) that have kept Santa Barbara beautiful for many decades. However, with unilateral decision-making, that all goes out the window. In fact, Mr. Dayton has said that he should not have to go to HLC for the State Street changes. Unilateral decision-making — akin to dictatorship. “Politics is the art of looking for trouble, finding it whether it exists or not, diagnosing it incorrectly and applying the wrong remedy.� — Ernest Benn Bonnie Donovan writes the “Did You Know?� column in conjunction with a bipartisan group of local citizens. It appears Sundays in the Voices section.

Bishop Diego alum Abel Gonzalez named new head coach for track and field By JORGE MERCADO NEWS-PRESS STAFF WRITER

‘Those who can’t play, coach’ is how the usual saying goes, but it doesn’t quite apply to Abel Gonzalez. The 23-year old Humboldt State graduate got some good news on Saturday when Bishop Diego Athletic Director Aaron Skinner announced that Gonzalez was

hired as the new track and field coach for the school. He is also going to be the head coach for the junior varsity football team. Gonzalez graduated from Bishop in 2015 having been a four-sport athlete participating in football, basketball, soccer and track. “It’s really exciting and I am really looking forward to it,” Gonzalez told the News-Press.

Abel Gonzalez, a former four-sport athlete for Bishop Diego, has been named the new head track and field coach for the Cardinals.

“I am really glad that coach Skinner offered me the opportunity to go back and be part of my alma mater. I am happy to be able to help out the younger kids now that I’m older and just be there for them.” Gonzalez was an assistant last year for the track team before the season was ultimately canceled due to the novel coronavirus. He said that played a huge role in him wanting to be a head coach, citing the fun he had being around the students and trying to make them better athletes. “Being out there running again with those guys talking about the mechanics of running and just kind of reminiscing made me want to help out,” he said. “I’ve always enjoyed being around younger kids and helping the next generation out, so I think I’ve always been inclined to coaching.” Gonzalez was an All-CIF player and went to the playoff semifinals twice with the Cardinals. He continued his athletic career at Santa Barbara City College in both track and football. He eventually finished his career at Humboldt State, graduating in the summer of 2019 before making his way back to his alma mater. He said the experience he had as a college athlete will help him coach these young kids along the way. “You just learn different ways to build up technique, as far as our sprinting stance and other things that we can build to just make it better,” Gonzalez said. “Working with kids, something I’ve really learned is that it’s all about being able to see what the talent that each individual has and not just to change them but to help them improve in any which way possible.” He added that coaching has brought a new joy to his life, saying that it has brought a new appreciation for the love of the sport.

“Being out there with the kids and seeing the spark, the glow, that I once had playing out there it just makes you happy. There’s just something that you see in those kids and it just brings you this joy and you just kind of want them to have those moments that you had,” Gonzalez said. He also said having the support of Skinner as well as Tom Crawford, head coach of the Bishop Diego football team, gave him the confidence that he could be a good coach. “To say that I’m 23 and head coaching a varsity sport and then helping out with the JV squad, it’s not something everyone can say so I appreciate it every day and I’m just hoping that I can do the best for the kids and hopefully they get something out of it along the way,” Gonzalez said. Looking back at his time at Bishop, Gonzalez said he enjoyed it and it made him “the man he is today.” “All the lessons I learned through high school, all the teachers I’ve met, the different coaches that I had, that really shaped me as a man and taught me a lot of lessons that I was able to take on to community college, and at Humboldt State,” he said. “Bishop really does a good job of preparing us as students and being able to go on to the next level and not be overwhelmed by what is waiting for us.” Overall, Gonzalez said he has one goal and that is to help every kid reach their potential and to get better each and every day. “I want us as a team to go out every day and be able to say that at the end of practice I got better. Whether it’s on something small, improving our times or improving our mechanics, just being able to come out at the end of the day saying that I improved, that is my goal. Everything else will take care of itself,” Gonzalez said. email: jmercado@newspress.com

Gonzalez, a 2015 graduate from Bishop Diego, served as an assistant track and field coach last season. He also serves as the head junior varsity football coach.

June 25, 1951 - September 2, 2020

Alan Kenneth Olivera was born in Santa Barbara, CA on June 25, 1951. He was the 6th generation in his family to be born and raised in Santa Barbara. He graduated from Santa Barbara High School and later that year on July 5th, 1969, Alan married his wife Francie Olivera (Goena) who was the love of his life for over 51 years. He worked in a canvas shop before becoming a journeyman plumber in Santa Barbara County. In July of 1981, Alan and Francie moved to Los Olivos to raise their two daughters to enjoy the small town life and country living. Alan then decided to follow his passion and open his own business, Custom Canvas & Vinyl Inc., in 1985 and continued operating the business with his wife until August 2020. His talent and creative mind helped him design and make almost anything out of canvas you could dream of. Alan loved the outdoors and the majority of his time was spent at the beach surfing, fishing, diving, and enjoying time with friends and family. He loved classic cars and restored his mom’s 1967 Chevelle and a F100 1953 Ford Pickup which he would enter in multiple car shows with his friends. They made memories and stories that were told for years to come. Above all else, spending time boating at the lake with family and friends is what Alan enjoyed the most. His love for the lake was passed down throughout his entire family. They made many fun memories as a family at the lake. Alan’s smile was notorious for lighting up a room. He was quick-witted with a great sense of humor and loved telling jokes and playing pranks on his friends. Alan was a mentor, a friend, and a confidant to anyone who knew him. While he never sought attention, he was always considered the “life of the party.” His generous and caring heart was recognized by everyone who knew him. Alan was the man you could call at any time for anything and he would always be there. Alan was preceded in death by his father Rudolph (Rudy) Olivera. He is survived by his wife Francie Olivera, mother Nancy Hawthorne, daughters Tauji Van Lenten (John Van Lenten) and Heather Ames (Rich Ames). Also his grandchildren Kassidy and Connor Craner, Michael Villegas and Eric and Jaslyn Van Lenten. He is also survived by his brother Glen Olivera (Rose Olivera) and his sister Leeanna Bileti (Len Bileti) and nephew, Traver Olivera and niece, Ashley Kurtze. The family will be holding a private service to honor the wonderful life that Alan lived. He will be deeply missed by his family and friends, however his spirit will continue to live through all of us.

GROSS, William “Bill” Ray

December 21, 1953 – September 4, 2020 William “Bill” Gross passed away on September 4, 2020. He was born and raised in Santa Barbara, California and attended Harding Elementary, La Cumbre Junior High, and graduated from Santa Barbara High School in 1972. Bill had been employed by Air Liquide and Praxair in Santa Barbara and Ventura Steel in Ventura, the company from which he recently retired. Bill’s most treasured lifetime memories were those of growing up in Santa Barbara. While he moved to Ventura several years ago, one of his favorite pastimes was to return to the old Westside neighborhoods where he grew up, sometimes stopping in to visit long-time friends. During these trips he would also bicycle the Santa Barbara area coastline. In earlier years, he enjoyed dirt biking in the back country of Santa Barbara. A die hard Dodgers fan, Bill’s passion was baseball. He played, listened to, and watched baseball his entire life. From a young age Bill had a great appreciation for music. A member of the Bonnie Langley Youth Band where he played the trumpet, his interest in music continued. He loved 60’s and 70’s music and enjoyed many hours listening to his favorite songs through his extensive sound system. Bill was born to the late Martha Lou Ruddick Gross and Robert “Bob” Carl Gross on December 21, 1953 in Santa Barbara, California. He is survived by his siblings Kathy Gross Jones of Raleigh, North Carolina, Brenda Gross Jehle of Ojai, California, brotherin-law, Bob Jehle, four nieces, and two great-nieces. A memorial service for Bill will be held in Santa Barbara at a later date.

OVID-19 couldn’t stop an 81-yearlong fall tradition from providing an abundance of fresh fruits, vegetables and fun for local residents. At 308 S. Walnut Lane in Santa Barbara, the Lane Farms Produce

Stand is now open and featuring homegrown sweet corn, vine ripe tomatoes, green beans, avocados, fresh strawberries, pumpkins, winter squashes, leaf lettuce and more. On top of that, the Lane Farms Pumpkin Patch is also now open for all ages to enjoy, with farm animals, a socially distanced corn maze, old tractors and potential hay rides to come.

And of course, many, many pumpkins. “We have great pumpkins this year,” said John Lane, owner of Lane family farms. “We had really good growing weather.” Mr. Lane and his wife, Ruth, celebrated 150 years of farming on that exact plot of land a few years ago. The produce stand and pumpkin patch sit directly on what’s left of the original land,

farmed since 1868. The Lane family farmed walnuts and lemon orchards, along with produce. Mr. Lane farms different pieces of property both in Santa Barbara and the Santa Ynez Valley. “I did our first pumpkin patch in ’74, and I’ve done one ever since,” he told the News-Press. “It’s really grown in the last 20 years.” The fate of the annual pumpkin

patch was in question when the pandemic came around, but the Lanes figured out ways to maintain safe distances and keep everyone’s hands sanitized. Masks are mandatory upon entry, extra handwashing stations and hand sanitizing stations were added, shields were installed at the stands, and staff disinfects the wagons that consumers use to haul their pumpkins.

The corn maze was even widened, and while there’s a chance the hayrack rides may not be possible, the Lanes are hoping to figure out a way to keep the tradition around while maintaining safety. “We’re kind of missing out because we don’t have any schools this year,” Mr. Lane said. “We had Please see PUMPKINS on B4

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

Sunday, October 4, 2020

SOLUTION ON D3

Every number in the codeword grid is ‘code’ 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.

Fiance refuses to vacate house for girls’ weekend

D

ear Abby: I live with my fiance, and we are being married in eight months. When I asked him if he would go and stay with his parents or some friends on a weekend when my girlfriend comes into town so we can have girl time, he got highly offended and said he isn’t leaving “his� house. I pay more than he does in rent, and I don’t feel I should have to rent a separate place. He doesn’t understand girl time: drinking wine, watching chick-flicks Abigail and talking Van Buren about our lives. I want to dedicate all my time that weekend to being a good friend, but he doesn’t get it. I have told him that if he ever wanted me to go stay with friends or visit my parents so he could have a guys’ weekend, I would have no problem with it. Am I asking for too much? — Needs Girl Time in North Carolina Dear Needs: Yes. I think expecting your fiance to leave when your girlfriend comes to visit is a bit much. Do you plan to make the same request after you are married? Regardless of who pays more rent, the house is home to both of you. I would think that the idea of being subjected to one of your “girls’ weekends� — the wine, the chick-flicks, the gossip — would motivate him to make other plans. However, because he is unwilling, you and your girlfriend should consider splitting the cost of a hotel room for the weekend, which might be more enjoyable for all three of you. Dear Abby: Over the last 13 years in his job, my husband developed a “very friendly� relationship with a clerical person. Now that he has retired, she wants to continue it by meeting with him (and me) for dinner. We have had dinner together once, and when they began to talk shop, I became the odd one out. Although I interjected myself into the conversation, it was clear there is real feeling between them. He says she’s “just so nice.� She continues to send emails addressed to both of us and asks me (since he is not computer savvy) to relay that she misses him greatly and he was her “ray of sunshine� every day when he would walk in the office. Should I be worried, jealous or envious? It is only now I have become aware that she was so important to my husband at work. I had no knowledge about their relationship before. — Uncertain in New Jersey Dear Uncertain: I don’t think you have anything to worry about. That the conversation at dinner revolved around the office is not surprising. The office and the job were the basis of their relationship. Because she’s sending emails addressed to both of you, I doubt she’s trying to slip anything past you or make a play for your husband. Be patient, and with time, I suspect she will adjust to the loss of her “ray of sunshine.� Dear Abby is written by Abigail Van Buren, also known as Jeanne Phillips, and was founded by her mother, Pauline Phillips.

Repaying debt of gratitude to in-laws

H

ello, Carolyn: My in-laws live nearby and have been a wonderful part of our lives since the day we married. Help with the house — Dad was there. Help with the kids — Mom was there. You could say I won the in-law lottery. My wife and I always expected we would return the kindness when they needed it, to the point that we’ve passed on promotions requiring a relocation. My in-laws are now in their 80s and Dad has Alzheimer’s. Mom is near exhaustion from caregiving, and I now see a patient, sweet person snap at him frequently. We’re at the point where my wife and I should be pitching in. I’m over there often to fix broken stuff, do heavy cleaning, etc., however it appears my wife’s expectation of “helping� consisted solely of driving them to appointments and grabbing meals — needs that rarely pop up. I think Mom needs regular breaks. I’ve suggested to my wife that she pick a time every couple of weeks to work from her parents’ home and give her mom a few hours of free time. Those suggestions have been met with bluster and no action. I’d gladly do it myself, but my wife will resentfully insist on going in my place. Wife and I communicate well, but this situation presents some novel challenges. — Son-in-Law Son-in-Law: I could say they won the in-law lottery. Good for you. This veers into no-good-son-in-law-goesunpunished territory, but I suggest you gladly do this yourself anyway — and when your wife tries to go resentfully in your place, insist this is what you want to do, solo. Then go. Own this fully as your labor of love, not as hers that

TONIGHT

you’re heroically covering for her. I have two reasons for suggesting this, one straightforward and one more calculated (for a good cause, of course). The straightforward reason is that you’re the one who deems this important, and you incurred half of this parental debt of gratitude anyway, so, just go repay it. Go give Mom these breaks. The calculated reason is that it’s possible, given your wife’s bluster, she’s having some emotional, dread-based paralysis. This is heavy, stressful caregiving and it’s her dad who’s slipping away, which can make the stress even worse. Some reflexively rise to an occasion like that, as you and your mother-in-law apparently did; for others, the reflex is to recoil from it. In those cases, though, time and exposure and familiarity can gradually coax someone out to help. So if your wife is just balking, then your taking the lead and getting the routine established might be the nudge she needs to do this sans resentment. Or not, in which case you keep doing it because it’s the right thing and you’re the right person for the job, which frees her to find a better role for herself. She might be the right person to, say, vet and hire professional caregivers, pay bills, manage schedules, wrangle insurance. There’s typically a lot more work for everyone to divvy up before you start to have less. Even if she never matches your effort here, it’s still better to have the “wrong� person step up than no one at all — right? Envision how you’ll feel about your choices when this is behind you, and make them from there.

a lot of school kids come, and to see them have such a good time here …” However, the Lane Farms Pumpkin Patch is still able to provide a carefree, outside activity for Santa Barbara residents and a sense of normalcy. It will remain open through Oct. 31 for families to enjoy. “The one thing about the pumpkin patch is everybody here is pretty much just here to have a good time,” Mr. Lane said. “So everyone’s pretty much happy … And a lot of people, this year, are happy to just get out.” Mr. Lane and Ruth have been married for 45 years, and this pumpkin patch marks No. 46 for the two farmers. “I’m excited that we can be open and allow our friends, neighbors and community to come and enjoy something that’s become a tradition for them,” Mrs. Lane told the News-Press. “I think a lot of people are really excited to have something, anything to do. And it’s outside — what could be better?” Julia George and her son were at the pumpkin patch on Monday, enjoying the sunshine and checking out the wide selection of pumpkins perfect for Jack-oLantern carving. Her son, who is almost 4, was born in October, so Ms. George said fall activities are always something fun for them to do together. “We moved here about a year ago, and we had a lot of pumpkin patches back East,” she told the News-Press. “So this was a nice way to support a local business and get in the fall spirit.”
