Trump supporters parade down State Street in decorated cars

By GRAYCE MCCORMICK NEWS-PRESS STAFF WRITER

Dozens of cars and trucks full of Trump supporters gathered in the parking lot behind 3820 State St. in Santa Barbara on Saturday afternoon and paraded down State Street.

In light of the polling places officially opening for in-person voting, the Santa Barbara County Republican Party aimed to rally Republican voters and show their support for President Trump.

Before they took off on their route to the Channel & Cemetery bus stop and back, the supporters gathered in the parking lot, without masks, played patriotic music and chatted amongst each other.

Pro-Trump signs and flags were being handed out as well.

Raymond Arias was one of the Trump supporters in attendance of the rally. He also owns Raymond Arias Construction on Calle Cesar Chavez.

“I support Trump. That’s my main thing. I just can’t see the country going into the (problems) it’s going into if Biden gets elected,” he told the News-Press.

When asked about his thoughts on the 2020 Election in a couple days, he said, “I Please see RALLY on A4

Saturday marks day one of in-person voting in Santa Barbara County

By GRAYCE MCCORMICK NEWS-PRESS STAFF WRITER

In-person polling places officially opened on Saturday, and some residents of Santa Barbara County chose to vote early at one of the 35 in-person polling places throughout the county.

However, because of concerns surrounding COVID-19 and the 65 available ballot drop boxes, many residents chose to drop their ballots off on the curb in front of in-person polling places or at one of the drop boxes.

Dana and Sharon Morrow were among the residents who dropped their ballots off, due to the efficiency. They voted at the Carrillo Recreation Center at 100 E. Carrillo St. “We were actually planning on going in and voting,” Mr. Morrow told the News-Press.

“There’s hardly anyone in there.

We would have gone in but she (the poll watcher) said, ‘As long as you have it filled out already, stick it in the envelope.’ It seems so easy.”

“We were just anxious to get it done,” Mrs. Morrow added.

On the other hand, some voters preferred voting in person with safety precautions in place.

“I felt safe … nobody coughing or hacking or anything else,” Richard Perez told the NewsPress after voting inside at the Carrillo Recreation Center. “I feel it’s more secure voting in person and turning it in by hand instead of counting on somebody else to deliver it.”

With all of the COVID-19 protocols at the polling places, most voters said they felt safe going and voting in person.

“They spread people out in the room so you’re not close to anybody,” Natalie Guillocheau told the News-Press. She said she votes every year, but she made sure to vote in person this year after losing the ballot that

The polling place locations are open from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. today, 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. on Monday and 7 a.m. to 8 p.m. on Election Day. According to the poll watcher information, there are maximum capacity limits at each polling place location, to ensure social distance is maintained. Voting booths are all six feet apart, masks are required and hand sanitizer is provided.

The purpose of the polling place election observers is to observe the proceedings to make sure there is no interference with conduct of any part of the voting process.

Polling place election observers are not permitted to stand behind the check-in tables; converse with poll workers or voters to interfere or delay; intimidate or impede; converse with voters within 100 feet of the entrance relating to casting a vote or qualifications to vote; display any campaign material or wear campaign badges, buttons or apparel; or use cell phones, pagers or two-way radios inside the polling place or within 100 feet of the entrance. email: gmccormick@newspress.com

“I’m a business owner in town and when Trump’s running it … the economy is crazy,” he continued. “There’s so much work going on. … Everybody’s making so much money, and now it’s hard to see that go. It’s all about the economy.”

Mr. Arias said he voted inperson that morning, and his 86-year-old mother was determined to vote in person, too.

Many of the rally attendees refused to comment or provide their full name due to what they referred to as “the contentious situation of politics these days,” and were concerned about their employers.

However, “Red Wave” and “Vote Trump” chants floated throughout the crowd, horns honking and flags waving.

and also attended the pro-Trump rally. When asked why he was in attendance, he said he was “basically here for freedom.”

“Everything that Trump has done for everybody is give you

your freedom. … ’Do this, do that,’” he told the News-Press.

“Biden has turned it into, ‘You can’t do this, you can’t do that.’

Bull.”

He said he also voted already

via absentee ballot.

“That’s what America’s about.

Freedom of choice,” Mr. Cokeley continued. “I don’t see anything that Biden or the Dems are telling me that I have a choice. They keep telling me, ‘You have to do this, you have to do that, there’s going to be a lockdown.’

“That’s really what it’s about.

I’ve killed for this country so I have a right to do what I want,” he concluded.

Protestors countering the Trump supporters were also in attendance, but declined to comment on why.

One counter protestor was wearing a doctor mask and carrying around a sign glued to a baseball bat. Other counter protestors were playing antiTrump music in opposition.

The parade caused traffic to back up for several miles toward the end, causing the Santa Barbara Police Department to intervene and free up the road. email: gmccormick@newspress.com

Local historian shares history of Jewish community in Santa Barbara

★★★★★ RON

LIECHTI R FO

SBCC Trustee, District #2, Goleta Dedicated to Student Success Paid for by Ronald Liechti for SBCC Trustee 2020

★★★★★ The second wave of Jewish immigrants fled the pogroms of Eastern Europe at the end of the century. They became merchants on State Street. Here on the 600 block of State Street can be seen Samuel Schwartz Clothing Shop and William Schoen’s Cigar Store. Schoen came from Austria Hungary. His daughter Viola and her husband Lester Girsh established Girsh Park in Goleta.

By GRAYCE MCCORMICK NEWS-PRESS STAFF WRITER

Local historian Erin Graffy gave a Zoom lecture on Thursday titled: “From Oy Vey! to Ole! The Jewish community in Santa Barbara,” sharing stories of some of the first arrivals and influential Jewish leaders who came to the city.

She covered three waves of Jewish immigrants, and how they served the Santa Barbara community and helped it grow into the city it is today.

Starting with the Gold Rush that attracted many German Jews to California, Mrs. Graffy said they were most successful not exactly as miners themselves but as merchants providing the goods and services to the miners.

She added that there was a sense of prejudice in California, but not distinctly anti-Semitism.

“The people who were already here considered themselves Californians, not Mexican at all, not Spanish,” the historian said.

“They didn’t like the Jews, but they didn’t like anybody that was not a Californian, Spanishspeaking and Catholic.”

Mrs. Graffy called it a “one size fits all prejudice, nothing distinct directed toward Jews.”

That being said, California afforded the Jews a “great deal of freedom.”

“The Jews operated with a great deal of autonomy and independence,” she said. “There was no social hierarchy established. ...You just prove yourself on your own merits.”

Some of the most successful German Jews in California included Isaias Wolf Hellman, the founder of USC; William Haas, who built the landmark San Francisco Haas-Lilienthal House; Solomon Lazard, the first naturalized American in Los Angeles County; and the Newmark family, one of the most important leading Jewish families in California history.

Originally from Prussia, members of the Newmark family started the Hebrew Benevolent Society, founded the first Jewish cemetery, founded Congregation B’nai B’rith in LA and founded the LA Public Library.

The first known Jewish resident of Santa Barbara is thought to be Cerf Levy, who came from Alsace-Lorraine in 1868. His son was a

wine merchant in the 500 block of State Street, and they built a home on the second block of East De La Guerra.

His daughter, Rachel Levy, born in Santa Barbara in 1872, moved to LA and became the founder of L’alliance Francaise, the president of Women of Reform Judaism, formerly known as the National Federation of Temple Sisterhoods, and was involved in the National Council of Jewish Women, the LA City Planning Commission and the LA City Art Commission.

She graduated from Santa Barbara High School, class of 1892.

In 1875, a large group of French Jews came to Santa Barbara and landed on Stearns Wharf. They became merchants in the center of town, which was the 500, 600 and 700 blocks of Ortega Street at the time.

They ran shoe stores, clothing stores and became leaders in the community, holding positions of importance and respect.

“What was Jewish life like in the 19th century?” Mrs. Graffy asked. “They were totally accepted in and by the community. This doesn’t follow the pattern you see back east.”

The first Jewish ceremony known in Santa Barbara was in 1895, where a father brought his infant son, Marc Eissman, into the Bond of Israel with the first circumcision.

In the 19th century, Jewish students in Santa Barbara had to go to LA or SF to study for their bar mitzvah, staying with relatives or friends.

The second wave of Jews in Santa Barbara came from 1914 through 1924, escaping persecution from the pograms of Eastern Europe.

“We don’t take things seriously enough, because we’re kind of conditioned by our present-day culture so that when we say people had terrible persecution, we’re not quite giving it the justice it deserves,” Mrs. Graffy said. “The stuff that was happening to them was horrific. Hitler wasn’t the one that started what’s been happening historically to the Jews.”

Some of the 20th century Santa Barbara Jews from Eastern Europe, and maybe a few familiar names, included: Sam Percal of Poland, Joseph Safina of Russia, Max Rosenthal of Odessa, Abraham Cross of

WOOD GLEN HALL COURTESY PHOTOs

Mrs. Jules Kaufman was one of the most important Los Angeles women in both Jewish and civic life in early 20th century Los Angeles. Erin Graffy’s research found she was Rachel Levy Kauffman, the only daughter of Santa Barbara’s first-known Jewish resident, Cerf Levy, who arrived around 1868.

Poland, Morris Katz of Austria, Abraham Fishkin of Russia, Joseph Solomon of Romania, Jacob and Helen Motto of Poland, Irving Firestone Romania, William Shoen of Austria Hungary, Sam Licker/Lichter of Ukraine, Nathan Leeker of Russia, Max Friedman of Austria, Sophie Goldberg Friedman of Russia, Lester GIrsh of Lithuania, Samuel Liker of Russia, Solomon Wasserman of Russia and Nathan Weidis of Russia.

Mrs. Graffy said that while they were persecuted for their faith in Eastern Europe, faith was the only thing holding them together in the U.S. The first orthodox service was held in a home in 1924, along with the first bar mitzvah in 1925.

The Jewish community gained its first official organization’s torah in 1927, and opened its first temple in 1932.

The building is still on 1028 State Street, but has since been repurposed.

“Santa Barbara had an uncommon record of acceptance for Jews,” Mrs. Graffy concluded.

“I think that the history of the Jewish people in Santa Barbara holds a significant part in our community history, not just if you’re Jewish, because these people were important merchants...It was a small crowd, yet they were accepted on their own merits and contributions to the community.”

The lecture was hosted by the Santa Barbara County Genealogical Society.

Holidays in Your Car to be held at Ventura County Fairgrounds

State Superintendent Thurmond announces $45 million grant funding

The Ventura County Fairgrounds will host Holidays in Your Car from Nov. 22 through Jan. 2.

Billed as Southern California’s “Best and Brightest Drive-through Holiday Light Show,” the event features holiday-themed light displays that are intricately and painstakingly assembled by Santa’s team of Elves celebrating the most magical time of the year.

With some displays standing at over 40 feet in height, Holidays in Your Car also includes spectacular installations of projection mapping, a technique that involves high-end projectors casting computer-generated images onto sets, arches, and surfaces to create memories that will last a lifetime.

Tickets go on sale today, and for more information, please see Holidaysinyourcar.com

State Superintendent Tony Thurmond announced on Friday that all Californiabased school districts, county offices of education, and classroom-based charter schools can apply for the California Community Schools Partnership Program (CCSPP), a $45 million grant-funded initiative to support and expand existing community schools.

These community schools use a “wholechild” school improvement strategy where the district and school work closely with teachers, students, and families. Many operate yearround, morning to evening, and serve children and adults.

The schools partner with community agencies and local government, providing an integrated focus on academics, health and social services, youth and community

development, and community engagement. Services can include adult education classes and healthcare services for families in neighborhoods where economic and social barriers prevent access.

“Among countless other impacts, the COVID-19 global pandemic has highlighted and increased the divide between disadvantaged students—many of whom are students of color—and their more affluent peers.

This program is a way to directly support our most vulnerable students and their families,” Thurmond said. “I encourage all eligible local educational agencies (LEAs) to apply. These funds will provide health, mental health, and student support services to students and families at community chools and provide training to LEA personnel to help develop best practices for integrating student supports and socialemotional learning.”

he victory parade to baseball’s Promised Land was as frustratingly long for the Dodgers as a 5 p.m. drive on the Los Angeles freeways.

Thirty-two years between World Series championships is a mighty slow ride, especially when you’ve been behind the wheel of a hot rod for the last eight years.

The Dodgers compiled Major League Baseball’s best cumulative record during that time, claiming the National League West Division championship all eight seasons.

They won an astounding 62.9% of their games in the last four — a pace of 102 victories per year.

No team has had a better fouryear run during Major League Baseball’s Wild Card Era. It left Clayton Kershaw, a driving force for the Dodgers the last decade, feeling as much relief as jubilation when they drew the checkered flag to overcome their checkered past. “I kind of can’t believe it,� the ace pitcher gushed. “Honestly.

I can’t believe we did it. I can’t believe that it’s over and that I did it.�

Most baseball experts can’t believe they didn’t do it sooner.

Nobody except the New York Yankees has spent more in accumulating talent the last decade. Their payroll this season alone was a staggering $227.83 million, creating enough depth to relegate stars such as Joc Pederson and KikĂŠ Hernandez to bench roles.

Andrew Friedman, the Dodgers’ president of baseball operations, collects MVPs like Meryl Streep hoards Oscars. He traded to get Mookie Betts, the American League’s 2018 MVP, to play in the outfield alongside 2019 NL MVP Cody Bellinger.

It was a revelation, said Kershaw, the NL’s 2014 MVP. “There’s a really calming influence there,� he said of Betts’ presence. “It’s just expected that we’re going to win and you feed off that, not necessarily by what he says but by the way he carries himself. It’s awesome. “Thankfully, he’s on our team.�

And he will be for the next 12

The Dodgers led the Major Leagues in runs scored this year and didn’t let up during the World Series. They twice beat Tampa Bay ace Tyler Glasnow, prompting manager Kevin Cash to say, “What hurt him is the talent of the Dodgers’ lineup more than anything ‌ They’re just really, really talented.â€?

But that begs the question: Will the Dodgers now live up to their potential as a dynasty ‌ or will they just die nasty?

Former UCSB outfielder Skip Schumaker predicted how difficult it was going to be for the Dodgers six years ago after leaving Chavez Ravine for Cincinnati: “They’ve got so much talent, it’s crazy ‌ But that is not always a formula to win. You can’t always out-talent somebody.â€?

Expectations weighed as heavy on the Dodgers as the clubhouse spread during the Tommy Lasorda Era. “You need to have guys that have been through it all and won, and have seen it all,� said Schumaker, who won a World

Series ring with St. Louis in 2011.

Now they have. It’s a sureBetts, too, with the lifetime contract they’ve given their newest star. And if you bet at Caesars Sportsbook, you’ll find that they’ve installed the Dodgers as +400 favorites to win next year’s World Series.

Kershaw, 32, has one more year left on his contract and presumably at least one more good season left in his left arm.

And although 33-year-old reliever Kenley Jansen is a little worse for wear, the Dodgers boast a babyfaced pitching staff. They led the Major Leagues in earned run average this year with such young arms as Walker Buehler (26), Tony Gonsolin (26), Julio Urias (24), Victor Gonzalez (24), Dustin May (23) and Brusdar Graterol (21).

There’s youth in the field, as well, where Betts is one of the senior members at age 28.

Bellinger is just 25 while shortstop Corey Seager, the World Series MVP, is only a year older. Catcher Will Smith is showing star quality, as well, at the tender age of 25.

The beard of third baseman Justin Turner may be as long as

Methuselah’s, and he’s long in the tooth at 35, but he did bat .307 this season. That’s five points higher than his sterling .302 average with the Dodgers the last seven years.

Turner’s judgment is in question, considering the risk he took by breaking COVID-19 quarantine during the World Series celebration, but there’s no doubt about the pop in his bat.

Repeating as World Series champion is never easy. Nobody has done it since the Yankees of 2000. But the Dodgers did prove their staying power this year during a season that had been long-delayed by the coronavirus. “Our clubs and especially our players were presented with an array of unique challenges,�

MLB commissioner Rob Manfred observed. “The Los Angeles Dodgers met every one of those challenges bravely. “This is truly a team of champions.�

At 78 games with the playoffs, their season was short but sweet.

Their reign should be long and sweeter. email: mpatton@newspress.com

A small number are expected to attend the interment at the Santa Barbara Cemetery on Friday, October 30th, at 3:00 PM (sharp).

KERN, Richard M. “Dick”

Richard “Dick” Kern of Churchill’s Jewelers in Santa Barbara died peacefully at home on October 8, 2020 surrounded by his family.

Dick was born December 19, 1922 in Santa Barbara to Joseph and Irma Kern, who had moved to Santa Barbara from New York City. While attending Santa Barbara High School, Dick began working for Roy Churchill after school. He was still working at the shop and had finished one year of college at Santa Barbara State College (later named UCSB) when he entered military service and fought with the 76th Infantry Division in Europe as a member of General Patton’s Third Army at the Battle of the Bulge.

Upon returning, Dick went back to work at Churchill’s and also graduated from UCSB with a B.A. in Industrial Science. In 1947 Dick married Dorothy Willson and the couple welcomed triplets in 1955. After Roy Churchill died, Dick purchased the business from his estate. He loved the jewelry business and ran his store successfully for many years with his daughter Lexi Kern Hirst by his side for 43 years. After Dick’s retirement Lexi took over and ran the store. His other daughters are Lee Kern, a professor at Lehigh University, and Lynn Kern Koegel, a professor at Stanford Medical School.

Dick was one of the Optimist Club of Santa Barbara’s charter members. He was very active in the Downtown Organization especially during the planning of the Downtown Revitalization Project. He supported the Jewelry Industry by serving as president and board member of the California Jeweler’s Association, and on the board of Jewelers of America for two terms. He was a member of the Board of Jewelers Mutual Insurance Company for 21 years and was chair for 13 years.

He will be greatly missed and will live on in our memories.

We want to thank Fidel and Claudia, Dick’s home health aides, as well as VNA Hospice for their excellent and nurturing care.

TONELLO, Edo

Edo Tonello, a loving husband and father, passed away on October 21, 2020 just a few months shy of turning 91.

He was born to Italian immigrant parents, Rosina and Giuseppe, in Susanville, California. He spent a happy childhood in the close-knit community with his older siblings and neighborhood friends. They enjoyed the simple pleasures of swimming, fishing, sledding, building toys, doing chores, and the camaraderie of small-town life.

Edo moved to Santa Barbara with his family in 1944.

He attended and graduated from Santa Barbara High School. He met his wife, Bruna, the last week of their senior year. Their first date was to the senior prom. They married on October 31, 1954.

Together, they raised three children.

After graduating from high school, Edo spent over 40 years in banking. At Security Pacific Bank, which later became Bank of America, he progressed through many positions, starting as a bookkeeper and ending as Vice President. As a branch manager at many different locations, he supervised staff and helped many secure loans for homes and other endeavors.

His early banking years were briefly interrupted by two years of service in the U.S. Army. Stationed in Okinawa, he was proud to serve his country.

Edo was also proud of the home he provided for his family and where he lived for over 65 years. He helped lay the foundation, built many walls on the property, and lovingly cared for the home. He spent many hours enjoying the view of the city and ocean.

After his disability in 1989, he learned the computer to stay connected in the world.

With a sharp mind, he read the news, researched topics on the internet, played games, and wrote emails to his children and friends. Those emails were a labor of love, typed one letter at a time.

Edo is survived by his wife Bruna; children David (Lisa), Greg (Kim), and Patti; grandchildren Matthew (Katie), Tracie (Trevor), Katie, and Alex; and great-grandchildren Lucca, Dominic, Cara Mia, and Kian.

Due to COVID, private services have been held. We’d like to thank the extended family for all their support throughout the years. Arrangements handled by McDermottCrockett Mortuaries.

FLOYD, Mary Alice

Mary Alice Floyd passed away October 24, 2020 at Vista Del Monte Retirement Home in Santa Barbara, CA, at age 92 of complications from a stroke. She leaves behind her husband of 68 years, Gerald Floyd of Santa Barbara, a daughter-in-law Cathy McDonald Floyd and granddaughter Haley Floyd, both of Poulsbo, Washington. Her dear son, Jonathan Curran Floyd, passed away in 2016.

Mary Alice was born in Mobile, Alabama, on February 27, 1928 to Nell Curran Palmer and Walter Shasta Palmer. Her father, a Californian, brought the family to San Francisco where he was raised, during Mary Alice’s first year of high school. The family returned to Mobile where Mary Alice graduated from Murphy High School.

Mary Alice attended college at Tulane, then graduated from the University of Montevallo, near Birmingham, Alabama -- the states only public liberal arts college.

She earned her Bachelor of Arts with a major in Sociology and a minor in Social Work.

Some people, it seems, are born knowing what they want to do. From an early age, Mary Alice’s chosen field was social work. Her early experiences as a young teen included going to downtown Mobile in search of grandfather who often lost his way home. On graduation from high school Mary Alice worked summers at the Mobile office of Child and Family Services. Her mother took Mary Alice with her when she moved to San Francisco because her husband Walter Palmer, who spent much of her young life at seas as a Marine Engineer, came to port in San Francisco.

Mary Alice lived in California on and off for from 1951-1953 during which she was employed as a social worker at the Oakland Department of Social Welfare. She met her husband, Gerald Floyd, at that office. She worked upstairs in the office of Old Age Security and he was working downstairs at Aid to Needy Children. They had a mutual friend, Minerva, who introduced them at lunch one day. In March 1952 they were married in Mobile in the Presbyterian Church that Mary Alice attended as a child.

They moved to Santa Barbara in 1954 when Gerald was offered a position as a guidance counselor at the Santa Barbara City College. That same year the couple celebrated the birth of their son, Jonathan.

Mary Alice was a former director of the Cal Lutheran Graduate Studies Program (Santa Barbara Branch), and the Alienated Youth Project. She also spent two years counseling patients, their families, and staff as the head of the Hospice Program at Pinecrest. Mary Alice frequently lectured a variety of topics on applied psychology on cruise ships, GM Delco, Goleta Valley Hospital Drug and Alcohol Unit, The Oaks of Ojai Health, the Women’s Community, and as part of the annual Santa Barbara Women’s Day Conference. Mary Alice was listed in Richard Bolles’ book “What Color is Your Parachute?”

Mary Alice had an extensive career in education - including teaching at Laguna Blanca, Golden Gate University, the University of California extension, and the Santa Barbara City College Adult Division. At SBCC she taught a highly popular course on career counseling for adults that influenced the lives of many of her students in job transition.

The course also propelled her second career in private practice as a career counselor which she ran out of her home office until the Floyds moved to Vista Del Monte in 2016.

In lieu of flowers the family asks that you remember the Unitarian Society of Santa Barbara, 1535 Santa Barbara Street, Santa Barbara, CA 93101. A memorial service will be scheduled in the near future.

ENRIGHT, Joyce Margaret

Joyce Enright lived her life with such love, generosity and grace. Her strong relationship to the Lord impacted and influenced her family and friends to understand the best is yet to come...for those who love Him (1 Corith.

2:9). She was a best friend to so many. We had the best mom in the world. Joyce Margaret Enright of Montecito, CA passed away on July 30th, 2020. Born in Inglewood, CA on July 16th, 1949 she was the daughter of William and Lorraine Matthew. She attended Hawthorne High School (class of 1967). El Camino City College AA (1971) and California State Dominguez Hills BA (1974).

For Joyce, Real Estate was her passion. She and her former husband (Stephen) moved to Santa Barbara in 1975, where she pursued Real Estate. She was committed to serving her clients with excellence and integrity. She worked at Berkshire Hathaway Home Services in Montecito and was an estate agent for over 42 years.

Her two daughters, Chase and Lauren brought true balance in her life. She wasn’t just their mother; she was their best friend, their advocate, mentor and rock. Joyce taught them the power of prayer, eating healthy, finding fulfillment in nature, being grateful for what they have and not someone else’s riches, setting goals and working hard to obtain them, taking time for true friendships, and always relying on God. Joyce was so patient, giving, wise and compassionate. She had a gift for making everyone feel valued and loved.

Joyce was so beautiful; she shined with her warmth and smile. She had a very keen sense of fashion, many would know. As High School Homecoming Queen her smile and congeniality lit up the room.

She loved the Lord with all her heart and her faith radiated through her to anyone who met her. Joyce was devoted to her church and it’s community, El Montecito Presbyterian where she served as deacon. She was a Prayer Warrior, in a women’s prayer group, and served on the Rescue Mission Auxiliary.

Joyce loved being a Gammie. She was Kenyon & Isla Throop’s Gammie. They were mesmerized with her talents for cooking and baking, tea parties and most of all, devoted love for them. She was a true example of a good mom.

We love you so much Mom, you have taught us what it is to be the best mom we can be, we will be strong and courageous. We will work hard just like you. We know you are in heaven protecting us, we love you more then anything. We know the best is yet to come!

Joyce is survived by her daughters Chase Enright (Ryan Throop) and Lauren Enright, granddaughters Kenyon and Isla Throop, sister Donna Marshall and brother Wayne (Terri) Matthew. Her biological brothers, Bill Lipis and Dave Teagan, as well as her sister-in-law Roberta Ellings (John) and her niece Missy Fuentes (Mac) and nephews, Robbie Enright (Rachael), Chris (Patricia) and Matt Marshall, Bill & Jason Matthew.

And all of whom she loved dearly.

A Celebration of Life will be held at a later date. Donations can be made to her church, El Montecito Presbyterian Church and her philanthropy, Santa Barbara Rescue Mission.

Psalm 118:19 & 25 : Open for me the gates where the righteous enter, and I will go in and thank the Lord.

This is the day the Lord has made. We will rejoice and be glad in it.

FERREIRA, Glorianna (Light)

The world lost a bright star this year when Glorianna Ferreira died on August 13, 2020. Glorianna was raised in the San Joaquin Valley by parents of Portuguese heritage, and spent her childhood with freedom, in the arms of nature. She left home at 17 after graduating high school co-valedictorian, with a 4-year Regents scholarship to UC Santa Cruz. She graduated from UCSC with honors in an experimental major of her own design, Philosophy of Movement and Expression. She spent three years teaching Creative Movement and Expression in the Santa Cruz County School District where she worked with autistic and disadvantaged children, incorporating music, dance, nature walks and social skills into the curriculum. Her thesis proposed that daily physical movement, creative expression and connection with Nature are essential for human health and wholeness.

After graduating from UCSC, she was employed by the Department of Social Services for three years, working in the Food Stamp and MediCal programs. Glorianna moved to Santa Barbara after a short visit to a friend in Summerland. “I felt an electrifying affinity for Santa Barbara, with a feeling that I was ‘home’ and that I belonged here.

I returned to Santa Cruz, gave a month’s notice, and made a bee line for this jewel by the sea.”

This move led to a forty-year career in the legal profession. She started as a legal secretary then earned a paralegal degree. She retired as a judicial assistant for the Federal Circuit Court of Appeals.

Glorianna was an avid writer, devoting four to six hours each day on poetry, essays examining social, environmental and political issues of the day, and journaling. Her connection to nature and her love of humanity defined her life and she lived it true to herself always, to the very end.

She is preceded in death by both her parents and by her younger brother David Ferreira. She is survived by her older brother Carlos Ferreira of San Francisco.

LuLu Gaitan, an alumna of San Marcos High School, led TeenAngels her senior year. The group held activities for seniors in the memory care unit at Vista Del Monte.

Going for gold

By ANNELISE HANSHAW NEWS-PRESS STAFF WRITER

uLu Gaitan became a Girl Scout 12 years ago with a group of friends, and her mom served as the troop leader. The other girls stopped attending meetings as they went to junior high and then high school.

But even as her friends left the troop, LuLu increased her participation.

She wanted to achieve the Gold Award, which is the Girl Scout equivalent to an Eagle Scout.

To earn the honor, she created her project “Friendship Has No Age,” where she led a group of teenagers in monthly activities at the memory care unit in Vista Del Monte, a retirement community in Santa Barbara.

As a kid, LuLu visited her elderly neighbor’s house to play games after school. They formed a bond, and it inspired her to create a group dedicated to maintaining friendships with elders.

Her group, TeenAngels, made crafts, played bingo and chatted with the community members.

“You could really see the benefit that they got from the interaction and also learning they had to really think about what they were doing and their

motor development,” she said.

LuLu tried to bring crafts the elders could understand and enjoy.

Sometimes, a game wasn’t a hit, but she usually saw them get excited when they saw the activity.

“Some of them would perk up and have this big smile. And it was just like that moment of getting them able to interact and getting them out really warms your heart and then also shows me that I am making a difference in them,” LuLu said.

“That really made it worthwhile, but also just enjoyable to go there every month.”

She continued to lead activities even when COVID-19 barred her from visiting in person. TeenAngels made video calls to the facilities’ caregivers, and elders could see them on a TV screen.

“They were kind of confused with what was happening sometimes, but that didn’t stop them from having a good time,” LuLu said.

Now, LuLu attends San Diego State University, but another TeenAngel is carrying on the program.

LuLu said her experiences helped her receive multiple scholarships and led her to pledge to a sorority that works with Girl Scouts.

TeenAngels held a talent show for residents. They also joined in on the show.

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

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 +*#!2 +1$)"$ 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.

UCSB Arts & Lectures present movies, virtual programs

By DAVE MASON NEWS-PRESS MANAGING EDITOR

UCSB Arts & Lectures is finding various ways to keep people entertained and enlightened.

One way involves free movies at the West Wind Drive-in in Goleta.

They’ve been a hit with crowds packing the 307 S. Kellogg Ave. site, and the movies will continue Thursday with “Selena.”

Jennifer Lopez and Edward James Olmos star in the 1997 movie about the pop sensation.

Gates open at 5:30 p.m., and as experienced drive-in theater fans know, it’s wise to get there early for the best view. If you drive a compact, you can park in the front row; otherwise, it’s the second row and beyond.

The Arts & Lectures films at the drive-in include food trucks.

After “Selena,” Arts & Lectures will show “Lady Bird” at 8 p.m.

Saoirse Ronan stars as Christine “Lady Bird” McPherson, who clashes with her mother (Laurie Metcalf), in the 2017 comedydrama.

On Nov. 10, the free drive-in movies will switch to action with “Indiana Jones and the Raiders of the Lost Ark” (1981), the first and arguably the best of the “Indiana

Jones” films starring Harrison Ford. Gates open at 5:30 p.m.

After “Indiana Jones,” “Arts & Lectures” will show the animated “Spider-Man: Into the Spiderverse,” which clearly shows there’s more than one way to spin a web.

Besides the free movies under the Goleta sky, Arts & Lectures is providing virtual programs and concerts.

Here’s a partial list.

All you need is a comfy seat and a laptop, home computer or smartphone to watch acclaimed musicians such as Wynton Marsalis. He and his Jazz at Lincoln Center Orchestra Septet will perform “The Sounds of Democracy” on Friday. You’ll like the price: It’s free.

Afterward, you can watch as Dr. Jeffrey C. Stewart, a UCSB professor and author, moderates a conversation and audience Q&A with Mr. Marsalis.

The programming continues with a civil rights icon as part of UCSB’s “Race to Justice” series.

The movie “John Lewis: Good Trouble” will screen online at 5 p.m. Nov. 17.

The documentary covers the life of the late John Lewis, a legendary civil rights activist who became a longtime congressman and

worked on issues such as voting rights and health care.

After the screening, there will be a Q&A with filmmaker Dawn Porter.

On Nov. 19, UCSB will present Sister Helen Prejean, a leader in efforts to abolish the death penalty, in a “Race to Justice” virtual program at 5 p.m. She’s the author of “Dead Man Walking,” the book that was adapted into the 1995 movie starring Susan Sarandon and Sean Penn.

In December, UCSB’s virtual programming will continue with writer Pico Iyer’s conversation with Cheryl Strayed, author of the bestselling memoir “Wild.” That’s about her solo efforts to walk the 1,100-mile trek on the Pacific CrestTrail.

The program is set for 5 p.m.

Dec. 3.

And on Dec. 10, UCSB will present a virtual concert with a Pink Martini cabaret featuring China Forbes and Thomas Lauderdale. It’s set for 5 p.m.

The virtual programs are free for UCSB students, but most of them cost $10 for everyone else.

To purchase tickets, register or watch the presentations, go to artsandlectures.ucsb.edu. email: dmason@newspress.com

The project almost didn’t happen. She struggled to find a retirement home to partner with, and her first project mentor quit.

“I saw that growth where she took it on and really made it her own project. It’s a nice accomplishment,” her mom,

Michelle Gaitan, said.

Mrs. Gaitan was the troop leader but tried to let LuLu work on her own throughout her time in Girl Scouts.

“Sometimes it’s hard as the mom to let go because I’m in my role as leader, but I really felt that as she got older, she really took charge of the activities,” Mrs. Gaitan said.

LuLu led Girl Scout camps during summer breaks, even directing a virtual day camp this summer. Her friends worked retail jobs to make extra money, but she wanted to do something to help her become a teacher someday.

During her junior year at San

Marcos High School, she learned about career preparedness in a six-week training program with Partners in Education. The organization helped her apply for an internship with the Santa Barbara Humane Society, where she ran a summer camp.

“She’s very very goal oriented and very future oriented. At her age, I definitely wasn’t thinking that way,” her mom said. “And she’s always got a goal moving forward.”

So now, with a Gold Award and experience thinking on her feet, LuLu studying to become a teacher like she’s always wanted. email: ahanshaw@newspress.com

Democratic candidate Joe Biden and Republican President Donald Trump discuss issues during the final debate.

Let’s re-elect President Trump W Leader is dedicated to keeping America strong

e are just days from the most important election in modern times, and sanctimonious scolds are still telling conservatives they’re immoral for supporting the main person fighting to prevent this nation’s destruction.

Seriously? Your shaming isn’t working. We don’t believe we are betraying our values for standing with the person who is pursuing policies that will sustain America’s liberty tradition and opposing those that will enslave and impoverish us.

You can force-feed us op-ed after op-ed from well-respected Christian theologians urging us to vote against President Trump because you apparently believe he’s Satan’s spawn. But your pleas will fall flat because, unlike you, we see clearly the threats we face to life, liberty, the pursuit of happiness and, yes, even Christian

This is delusional of you have made a virtue out of on its face. How can you argue hating and vilifying this president that this person you love to judge and demonizing the rest of us who and condemn is likely to lead disagree with you. us away from our values — life, We are not about to surrender liberty and property — when he is to a leftist agenda of abortion already upholding those values? on demand; lawlessness in Let’s be real. We are all sinners our streets; bankrupting and — including the most pious among unworkable environmental us, who, of all people, should have

that truth emblazoned on their spirits. The indictment against President Trump’s character is not the one-sided case you think it is.

But many of you are so blinded by your hatred that you can’t see his positive attributes, the wonderful things he’s doing for this country and the evil ideas he is opposing.

For four years, we’ve heard that President Trump is the repository of evil in the world, and we’re well aware of the complaints against him. But we’ve also seen a man who genuinely loves this country and who is fighting, scratching and kicking 24 hours a day for almost all things conservatives believe in. He is dedicated to keeping the nation strong so that we can meet all internal and external challenges to our security and domestic tranquility.

No president has ever been subjected to the incessant slander leveled at him, the relentless

daily assault that would drive most mortals to a permanent fetal position. Much of it has been outright lies.

But he shrugs it off and spends every waking moment addressing the nagging problems we face and combatting the forces who are determined to divide us on race, gender and economic status, and to burn the nation down to make way for their quixotic socialist utopia.

So many of the attacks leveled against him have been orchestrated by a monolithic liberal media that has abandoned any pretense of fairness and objectivity.

The media is not only a hellborn hydra for the Democratic Party; it is outright dishonest and censorious. Even if you disagree with every conservative policy, you surely can’t be comfortable with the liberal media and social Please see limbaugh on C4

What went wrong?

America faces that question he outcome of this election was determined months ago, if not years. It’s between socialism and

capitalism.

There’s no way to suppress the hate people have for President Donald Trump, and there’s no way for others to accept that Joe Biden is capable of running this country.

So it doesn’t really make any difference what I or anyone says anymore. The votes have been cast, and we wait for the lawyers to take over.

But we did learn something more important other than what each candidate stands for.

Something enormously critical to the future of America. What used to set us apart from the rest of the world was our freedom of speech and our freedom of the press.

They no longer exist.

Supporters of President Trump have learned that even the

The controllers of the social That’s OK. As it should be. But media are the decision makers of toss in the hatred toward police, what they deem should be learned burn down the city, loot and or they deem shouldn’t.

And further perpetuate their narrative then have it reported as peaceful and twist it to confuse the protests. uniformed public into thinking The media and lawmakers and ultimately believing there’s

nothing to see here.

The proof that Joe Biden, with the aid of his son, had made millions working with Ukraine and China is pretty evident. The Bidens themselves can’t deny the emails because the evidence is right there in your face.

This was and is perhaps the biggest story in the last century since it involves a former vice president who is running for the highest office who had both feet buried deep in the muck of corruption. The tech giants and Democrats are just hoping to run out the clock. And if Mr. Biden wins, the investigation is over.

Just like Hillary, Obama, Comey and all the rest.

We learned that a reputable newspaper producing a story backed up with facts and hard data was reduced by the tech giants to being labeled as a tabloid and trashed and silenced by the left of this country. The left made

certain to do everything in its power to shut out and minimize distribution of the story. This is the biggest lesson we learned.

The most dangerous and the most lethal.

There is no longer any freedom of information. It is all being manipulated and hushed up or reproduced into something else.

The reality that factual news can be suppressed so effectively by the tech companies colluding with the printed word in collaboration with democratic lawmakers is beyond frightening. It’s downright terrifying.

We learned we no longer have a free press, we no longer have journalists, we no longer have any idea what the truth is anymore.

We are being fed what the tech giants want to feed us and it’s up to us to drill down to the truth.

And that has rapidly become Please see schulte on C4

n a 2012 interview, Dr. Thomas Howard, a retired English professor from Gordon College and St. John’s Seminary, commented on the state of the Western World.

According to Dr. Howard, “….This state of affairs took an exponential leap forward, in the 1960s, when the hubris, venality, lechery, vanity and predatoriness native to our fallen humanity exploded out across society, and became, eventually, sovereign in the public realm.

“Reliable standards of politeness, self-control, reticence, modesty, and integrity were overthrown.

‘Let it all hang out!’ became the ensign under which we were told to march.”

So between that and stretch pants, gangsta culture, peacelove-joy faculty, acting as students instead of learned professors, and an “I’m OK, You’re OK” credo, we began our careen down the slippery slope that have kept many in the ghetto and brought the ghetto to the mainstream, even during halftime of the Super Bowl.

It is all about tolerance for some, but not for all. Tolerance for gender identity, minorities, tattoos, piercings, dress code, but for an opposing idea or way of life, no tolerance. It is mind boggling.

You are made to shut up if you do not agree.

No tolerance for the “girl next door.” Amy Coney Barrett — she is smart as a whip, and no dirt could be heaped upon her.

But the Democratic vice president candidate, Kamala Harris, can laugh her way through most of the questions posed to her, and this is acceptable behavior. Her interviews are more like a made-for-TV “B” movie with a heroine who is so vapid, the commercials carry more message than she does.

What are we coming to and where are we headed? This is our country. Let us preserve what we have because the stakes are so high.

“Evil preaches tolerance until it is dominant, then it seeks to silence good.”

— Archbishop Charles Chaput Speaking of the threats that are being made if President Donald Trump wins reelection, the Beverly Hills Police Department, as a precaution, is shutting down and boarding up Rodeo Drive and hiring extra officers for security Monday through Wednesday.

Santa Monica and New York City, as well as many of our nation’s cities, are taking similar precautions. Not only are preparations being made to prevent mass looting and vandalism, but the residents are also hiring private security to protect themselves.

Did You Know? also wants to know: Are we on our own in Santa Barbara? Is our city taking such precautions to prevent the possibility of any damage to our downtown area?

Why not send an inquiring email to both our mayor and chief of police?

Also, regarding local elections, remember much of the current Santa Barbara City Council is up for election in November 2021: three council seats and the mayor’s position.

hanks, News-Press, for calling out that the Cold Spring School leadership that put bond Measure L2020 on the ballot and for covering opposition to justify a NO vote for verified reasons.

There are too many shenanigans going on over at Cold Spring School; too much bad behavior.

Now please help expose the missing money from the 2008 bond funded Measure C. Minutes show those funds were, and are, being spent to gain passage of Measure L2020 for a very similar want-list of improvements.

For Cold Spring School administrators to admit to “untruths” (commonly called lies), intimidation, threats and to use young, dependent students for political gain using taxpayer property and resources is reprehensible.

Regardless of the election outcome, the district community can thank the hundreds of volunteer hours contributed by anonymous neighbors, intimidated parents, and others researching to find facts. Vote “no” to pause for a closer look.

Going forward, anticipate costly forensic audits. There are major problems at Cold Spring School beyond the bond.

For starters, its deficit spending must end. Parents must not be intimidated to gift $1,200 per student to attend a public school, and students must not be used for political purposes on campus by administrators.

Stop stealing the signs

W

e all have seen the signs on people’s lawns and vacant fields endorsing candidates. This year we have people stealing the signs of Elrawd Maclean and Brian Campbell.

Please stop stealing the signs! I guess it’s not beneath people to do this if they think it will help other candidates running for the three open seats. We must do better at protecting personal property.

You might want to look at these candidates websites.

Keep City College board diverse

M

aintaining diversity is important because it allows for consideration of issues through different lenses or from different viewpoints.

It is important to maintain diversity on the Santa Barbara City College Board of Trustees.

A board with a large majority of members using the same lens cannot perform optimally.

Santa Barbara City College is a community jewel; let us keep it that way. I am endorsing Celeste Barber for District 4, Veronica Galllardo for District 3 and Ronald Liechti for District 2.

Thank You, Craig Nielsen City College trustee, District 4

“It is important to maintain diversity on the Santa Barbara City College Board of Trustees” Vote yes on Prop. 15

C

alifornia is the fifth largest economy in the world, yet we rank 39th out of 50 states in perpupil spending.

The COVID-19 pandemic threatens to further gut school budgets, right when schools need additional resources and support in order to reopen safely.

Proposition 15 would reclaim $12 billion annually that would go directly to neighborhood schools and vital community services. It would close unfair loopholes being exploited by some of California’s wealthiest corporations, while maintaining all existing protections on homes and other residential property.

Many businesses would see their taxes go down under some great new tax breaks in Prop.

15, while a relatively small group of very large and very rich corporations would finally start paying their fair share.

Investing in students and public education is the best long-term investment we can make. Voters should vote yes on Proposition 15.

This Tuesday, the choice could not be more clear: Re-elect Veronica Gallardo to the SBCC Board of Trustees!

Let’s make Cold Spring even better

M

easure L, the $7.8 million bond in the Cold Spring School District, deserves the strong support of the community.

Under Superintendent Amy Alzina, the district’s test scores have soared. Already an excellent school district, it is now an exemplary one.

In the most recent year for which there is data (2018-19, because testing was suspended last year as a result of the Coronavirus), Cold Spring was the highest performing school district in the state in both English Language Arts and Math! This is unparalleled performance for a school district.

Now Cold Spring needs the facilities that will match its stellar academic performance.

Measure L is a thoroughly vetted proposal that was reviewed by the community in many forums. Its significant purposes include primarily the replacement of portable classrooms with permanent construction. The 180 children in kindergarten through sixth grade who attend Cold Spring School will benefit from these new classrooms, which will focus on science, technology, math and art for decades to come.

Every generation has a responsibility to leave its educational infrastructure a little bit better than it found it.

Measure L is this generation’s opportunity to improve Cold Spring for this and future generations of students.

Please vote yes on Measure L2020.

Hold Trump accountable for COVID-19

Gallardo supporter

V

eronica Gallardo is an outstanding member of the Santa Barbara Community College District Board of Trustees.

Thoughtful and committed to improved opportunities for students, she merits another term.

Veronica Gallardo is fiscally responsible and believes that City College’s primary mission is to educate local students. As the parent of two children who participate in SBCC programs and as a teacher in local schools, she has a background in local education that is of great value to City College.

Santa Barbara City College is one of the gems of our community.

Who has not been influenced by it directly or through a family member?

Veronica Gallardo will work hard to see that funds are prioritized for programs that benefit students. She is a graduate of both SBCC and UCSB and is committed to maintaining City College programs to the greatest extent possible in the midst of the coronavirus pandemic.

A

tragedy in this century that will be long remembered is the war in Iraq (2002-2007) that took more than 4,000 lives and undetermined lasting injuries.

The American people punished the president and his party for the blundering into this war with no thoughts of the worst-case results.

The president dropped into historically low approval, and after his term completed, he sequestered himself in his ranch and was hardly seen for years.

His party suffered greatly in the next election.

Now we face another tragedy.

The COVID-19 pandemic (2020-?) has left more than 225,000 dead and undetermined long-term sufferers in the first eight months with no end in sight. The victims ranged from heroic health care workers to innocent bystanders.

Would it make any sense at all to vote this president into office again after this debacle?

Merle Blasjo Solvang

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 re-enter society.

The mobilization of the mob

eady or not, here they come. The ground troops of the anti-Donald Trump resistance aren’t just biding their time until Election Day for Hidin’ Joe Biden. Hell no. They’re making their direct action checklists and checking them twice. They’re training for instigating.

No matter the outcome at the ballot box, the left-wing mob is prepared to disrupt and destroy nationwide in the name of preserving “democracy.”

Four weeks ago, I exposed the pot bangers and lawn crashers of the Sunrise Movement. That’s the constantly morphing, fulltime front group for the Sierra Club that nurtures rent-a-rioters to agitate for everything from the “Green New Deal” to Black Lives Matter and the “defund the police” movement, to the attacks at private homes of Senate Republicans, who just delivered the confirmation of Supreme Court Justice Amy Coney Barrett.

Another key social justice player, ShutDown D.C., is teaming

The ShutDown D.C. crew is schooling its forces in intentional slowdowns to “reduce the pace” of activities they oppose ideologically and on how to participate in “nonviolent direct action protests/rallies” (which serve as cover for violent riots and assaults by antifa and Black Lives Matter brethren).

Another tactic: “Fed Flu” actions by U.S. government workers to “coordinate sick days across workforces.” More “tools in the toolbox” of “Never Trumpers” employed in federal police enforcement, research and development, the U.S. Armed forces, administrative management and political appointments: Refuse orders; strike in coalition; slow-walk enforcement and gum up bureaucratic processes; publicly denounce attacks on democracy; leak information; publicly resign.

Are federal authorities as locked and loaded as are these shutdown infiltrators? Is the

Trump administration ready to purge these infiltrators from the bowels of the federal bureaucracy before it’s too late?

I’ll repeat my warning from four weeks ago: They may look and sound like pesky, snot-nosed toddlers having harmless temper tantrums in black pajamas (and three-piece suits). But these professionally organized punks provide obstructionist boots on the ground for globalist Democratic billionaires and strategic cover for their violent antifa and Black Lives Matter comrades.

Wake up, smell the manufactured chaos and vote to put these “deep state” moles and trolls out to pasture.

Regardless of elections, world gets better

W

orried about Tuesday?

Remember: The most important parts of life happen outside politics.

Love, friendship, family, raising children, building businesses, worship, charity work— that is the stuff of life! Politicians get in the way of those things. But despite the efforts of power-hungry Republicans and Democrats, life gets better.

You may not believe that.

Surveys show most people think life is getting worse.

But it isn’t, as Marian Tupy and Ron Bailey point out in their new book, “Ten Global Trends Every Smart Person Should Know.”

“Child labor was once ubiquitous. Now it’s limited to a few countries in Africa. Women did not have a vote (until New Zealand granted it at the end of the 19th century). Today, women vote everywhere except for the Vatican,” Tupy reminds us.

“Gays and lesbians, persecuted for millennia, are free to marry. Slavery was universal; now it is illegal. The world has never been more peaceful, more educated and kinder.”

But the nastiness of today’s politics may stop progress!

Make life worse!

It’s possible, but “worse” compared to what?

I’ve lived through the Vietnam War, a military draft, 90% income tax rates, price controls, indecency laws, widespread racism and sexism, Jim Crow, the explosion of crime in the 1970s ...

Overall, life got better.

With Donald Trump and Joe Biden claiming the other will destroy what’s good, it’s hard to see improvement. But the world has made progress, largely thanks to libertarian ideas.

“For millennia the world was marked by despotism, slavery, hierarchy, rigid class privilege, and literally no increase in the standard of living,” said Cato Institute Vice President David Boaz in the May/June 2020 Policy Report.

lmost” does not count in most human activities — especially not in politics.

So if the right to vote only comes when you are 18 years old, then that right does not exist for anybody who is 17 going on 18, i.e. almost 18.

Passage of Proposition 18 would allow a 17-year-old to participate in primaries and any other elections held during the Election Year if they can prove that they will be 18 by the time of the general election.

In California, since the primaries are held approximately eight months before the final election, somebody of age 17 and four months could vote. One major problem has to do with the effect on primary elections.

Very simply, 17-year-old youngsters in California have

been exposed during their into the general election. formative years to a most liberal If 17-year-olds get a chance to school system, so they have vote, that would certainly bias not had a chance to gain much the top-two system, favoring the experience beyond the education most liberal candidates. system.

These minors the top two vote getters in the cannot effectively represent the primary election can make it general population.

As a matter of fact, this proposition should have been created to reflect reality and recognize that an increase in the age for voting so as to allow young voters time to gain enough experience to judge whether the doctrines inculcated in school are appropriate to the challenges involved.

This proposition is largely unfair for minority youngsters, who in certain localities represent a large part of the population. At age 17, with most of them still in school and living at home and not having faced the real world, they would be asked to make decisions that could influence their lives.

One may ask why stop at young voters? Why not apply the same principle to foreigners residing in our state so that they could vote in primaries if they can prove that they would become citizens by the time of the

general election?

To illustrate the absurdity of such ideas, consider the census.

Should a mother expecting a child eight months before the end of the census year be able to count that child as a member of the population when allocating congressional seats?

Finally, as already noted there is also a fiscal effect that has been calculated to be in the millions-of-dollars range in order to verify ages and implement the changes.

We are already burdened by enough taxes; we do not need additional expenses to try to lengthen the stay in power of politicians. Proposition 18 will in no way improve the life of California citizens, and its only purpose is political advantage.

Any proposition created by politicians should be analyzed under a microscope.

Vote “no” on Proposition 18.

President Trump has done a lot for U.S.

Add to that a weaponized media making its final multi-year attempt to destroy the Trump legacy.

Projected death from COVID was 2.2 million— 200,000 is 10% of that projection. He did not kill these people.

We witnessed “science” constantly changing and biased as medicine became political. There are actually two Trumps or more.

President Trump has countered and converted international criminals, promoted human rights worldwide. He is also Mother Teresa, bringing home hostages, reuniting families, supporting small business. President Trump is not a Russian agent, after a plot to suggest it.

He is an Einstein who knows numbers and the algorithm (rose from ashes himself and knows how). He is a volunteer president!

We want ethical respectful conduct expected in all other community or governmental roles Hearing a bipartisan voice urging him to run in 2016, President Trump has seriously injured the corrupt ecosystem of the swamp, exposed intelligence cartels, collusion and fought the abuse of power continuously projected on him.

Continued from Page C1 she would not require firstfloor commercial use because, according to Ms. Murrillo, “Retail is never going to come back. …

Office space will become more available as well.”

She also said that “the People” said we need a little extra height to get more affordable housing. “I get it,” she said.

Oh, she gets it, she gets what?

That the developers want a little extra height?

So we wonder how a” little” extra height for a little more affordable housing goes from 45 feet to 48 feet and now it “can’t be done” for less than 60 feet.

And when did Mayor Murrillo get a crystal ball to know what retail is doing? Ask the retailers downtown what they think of Cathy Murillo’s assertion that retail is dead.

Is this the mayor that they want representing the economic interest of this city? It looks like she is well-representing the developers and the interest of the arbiters of low-income housing.

Because, let’s face it, these developers are throwing bones to this cause with 10 to 20% max of their occupancy thus designated, and in return we stomach 60foot high buildings that will change the face of our city. Do you realize how much of the mountain views this obliterates?

Do you realize the density this adds to our city streets?

And there’s the very idea that Mayor Murrillo advocates that people would be happy to live in micro-units of 220-square-foot apartments. Is that what we want for Santa Barbara? Is this a ruse for future vacation rentals or more hotel space?

At the same meeting,

Councilman Mike Jordan said, “… I am interested in working to provide … increased housing development in the downtown area while protecting the look and feel of Santa Barbara, but acknowledging that that look and feel will begin to transition to a new look and feel.”

What is this, doublespeak?

You cannot have it both ways.

How do you preserve the look and feel while transitioning it to A NEW LOOK AND FEEL? And he goes on to say, “… if you’re unwilling to support what we are doing, I think that is a contradiction with what we are trying to do and the policy we are trying to work on. …”

In other words, if you do not support his ideas of the future of Santa Barbara, you are not a team player.

Stay tuned next week for reporting more rent control blunders the City Council presents and votes on Nov. 10..

The tide of overdevelopment of Santa Barbara has been stemmed for over a hundred years. There is nothing new in the dialogue or techniques of these developers.

The needs of this city have not changed. The only difference now is who is in control and a Santa Barbara who may be asleep at the wheel. That is what the developers are counting on right now.

When the beauty of this city is gone, it is over.

media conspiring to suppress conservative speech — not if you still love America and what has always made it unique.

If you think this country can long survive with such tyrannical behavior, if you think Donald Trump represents a greater threat to this nation than people who facilitate such despotism, then we’re on different planets.

The uninterrupted barrage against Trump has poisoned people’s minds and hearts. Much

of the case against him is based on lies and half-truths. I don’t believe President Trump is a racist, and even his worst critics are hard-pressed to deny that his policies have improved the lives of minorities.

Reporters, for example, constantly ask him to renounce white supremacy, when he has never endorsed it — no matter how many times they scream otherwise. When he complies and denounces it yet again, they say they don’t believe him. Speaking of character, bearing false witness is hardly a trifling sin.

This is no longer Democrats

versus Republicans. It is an existential struggle for the survival of the United States as founded. I earnestly appeal to my Democratic friends who don’t subscribe to the radical leftist agenda that has swallowed their party. I appeal to never-Trump Republicans who, because of a disorienting obsession, are fighting against the policies and values they’ve supported their entire lives. You never-Trumpers have to wonder which of us has changed, given that more than 95% of Republicans disagree with you.

Americans are being manipulated schulte

Continued from Page C1 impossible.

A few newspapers like this one still exist, but most people get their information online.

Most of their information comes from the likes of Facebook, which has become a self-appointed

evangelist preaching the word of socialism while being the largest capitalist in the world.

Americans are being manipulated just like communist countries have been doing for centuries. And because these companies have grown to become such enormous monopiles, they have also become powerful enough to affect our elections.

The Russians, Chinese and any other country don’t have any of the power the Democrats want you to believe they have. The enemy is right here at our front door. The enemy against freedom of speech and freedom of the press has been growing right before our eyes. And this election has emerged from behind the curtain to display in plain sight

what they are doing and how they’re doing it.

What once made us the greatest country on the planet is gone.

Even if President Trump wins, this battle over our freedoms will never go away anymore.

The looming question for me is why? Why do so many want to undermine and destroy their home?

“Then libertarian ideas came into the world. Of course, they weren’t called that at the time. ... They were the ideas of human rights, free markets, property rights, religious toleration, the value of commerce, the dignity of the individual — life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness.”

These ideas created a wave of progress unlike anything in history.

“Look at the chart of gross domestic product (GDP) per capita, or any measure of economic growth,” Boaz added.

“It looks like a hockey stick: flat for almost all human history, and then it rockets upwards.”

The media shriek hysterically about every problem, and we have problems: pandemic, lockdowns, unemployment, wildfires, bad cops, violent riots, crime. ...

But no matter who wins on Tuesday, life will probably get better.

Entrepreneurs will invent cool things.

This year, while Democrats and Republicans fought, the private sector found cheaper and better ways to send people into space.

The World Bank complained about governments not providing all people clean drinking water. So private companies are doing it.

A billboard in Peru turns humidity into potable drinking water. A drinking straw, LifeStraw, removes bacteria and parasites from water.

Forests are expanding because modern farming uses

less land, allowing the forests to regrow.

Thanks to often-despised free markets, poverty continues to decline. In 1981, 42% of the world lived in extreme poverty.

By 2018, only 8.6% did. Do politicians ever highlight those gains? No. Probably because most of those good things happened in spite of them, not because of them.

Most good things do.

Yes, we still have lots of problems: trillion dollar deficits, mental illness, crushing regulation, endless wars (although fewer of them), criminal injustice, inequality, climate change ...

But it’s always been that way. Evolution programmed humans to focus on problems.

Our ancestors survived in a very dangerous world. If they weren’t hypervigilant, they wouldn’t have lived long enough to give birth to the people who gave birth to us.

I obsess about problems. But I try not to let that distract me from the big picture.

More people in more places enjoy prosperity, religious freedom, personal freedom, democratic governance, largely equal rights, civility, better health and longer lives.

Neither President Trump nor Mr. Biden is likely to destroy that.
