President Trump impeached for second time By DAVE MASON NEWS-PRESS MANAGING EDITOR

FILE PHOTO

President Donald Trump was impeached for a second time Wednesday.

Donald Trump on Wednesday became the first U.S. president to be impeached twice. The House voted 232 to 197 to impeach President Trump. Ten Republicans joined the Democrats in voting for the action. The impeachment was extraordinarily swift by historical standards. The House skipped the usual hearings and witnesses and completed the process in a few days. Democrats and some Republicans say President Trump incited a mob’s Jan. 6 assault on the Capitol when he spoke to them during a rally near the White

House before the attack. “America was attacked, and we must respond even when the cause of this violence resides at 1600 Pennsylvania Ave.,” House Rules Committee Chairman Jim McGovern, D-Mass., said on the House floor before he voted for impeachment. “Every moment that Donald Trump is in the White House, our nation, our freedom, is in danger.” U.S. Rep. Salud Carbajal, D-Santa Barbara, commented on the impeachment in a statement Wednesday. “I don’t take impeachment lightly, but no one is above the law,” Rep. Carbajal told the NewsPress Wednesday. “Today, I joined a bipartisan group of lawmakers

in voting to protect our democracy and hold the President accountable for inciting a violent insurrection against the U.S. government. “The President instigated a violent coup attempt rather than accept the results of the 2020 election. This attack on our democracy left five dead and even more injured,” Rep. Carbajal continued. “Today the House made clear that intimidation tactics will never stop Congress from doing our constitutional duty.” After the impeachment, a White House video was released of President Trump condemning the violence, but the short Oval Office speech didn’t mention the impeachment. “I want to make it very clear:

I unequivocally condemn the violence that we saw last week,” Mr. Trump said in the video, which appeared on the White House’s YouTube channel. “No true supporter of mine could ever endorse political violence.” Most Republicans opposed the impeachment. They noted the fast process denied the president due process and would only further tear apart a divided nation. Andy Caldwell, the Republican candidate who lost to Rep. Carbajal in the Nov. 3 election, said he opposed the impeachment but noted President Trump could have exercised more caution with his words. “I think leaders have to be extremely careful with their

messaging,” the Coalition of Labor, Agriculture and Business executive director told the NewsPress Wednesday. “I believe Trump could have been more careful in his messaging when he asked people to come to D.C.” But Mr. Caldwell, who’s a NewsPress columnist, added he doesn’t believe President Trump intended for violence to break out or imagined it would have. “Having said that, my big problem here is when our country is clearly divided, it is incumbent upon our leaders to stop throwing fuel onto the fire,” Mr. Caldwell said. “With an impeachment this late with only days left in his term, Please see impeached on A7

Pea Soup Andersen’s, a Santa Ynez Valley landmark that dates back nearly 100 years, has been listed for $4.7 million by Radius Commercial Real Estate of Santa Barbara. The two parcel, 3.36-acre Buellton property at the corner of State Route 246 and Avenue of the Flags known for its famous split-pea soup, was officially put on the market on Aug. 12, 2020. Described in the listing as a venue that achieves “the highest traffic counts in the Santa Ynez Valley,” the 35,000 square foot building has hosted the restaurant, shops and various banquet rooms for many years “and is prime for redevelopment.” Its location and size “makes

it one of the largest and most prominent development opportunities within Buellton’s Avenue of the Flags Specific Plan,” the listing notes. Buellton’s new master plan features parks, plazas and destination-oriented development. The listing goes on to cite the “expanding wine region, thriving local businesses and growing population” that supports various types of development. Matt Guggia, a Central Coast restauranter who purchased both Pea Soup Andersen’s Buellton in 1999 and Pea Soup Andersen’s Santa Nella in 2007, was not available for comment. Mr. Guggia also owns A.J.

City to pursue transitioning to all-electric new construction By GRAYCE MCCORMICK NEWS-PRESS STAFF WRITER

After a lengthy and controversial discussion Tuesday evening, the Santa Barbara City Council directed city staff to return with reach codes requiring all electric in new construction, along with incentives relating to existing buildings. The council also directed city staff to work with transitioning the gas industry workforce with particular attention to outreach, and plan to have a full and robust discussion on what exemptions would be. The vote to pursue the transition was unanimous, but each city council member mentioned an area of focus they hope to see when staff returns to the council. “The longer we wait to address the impacts of climate change, the more extreme those mitigations need to be to catch up, so the sooner we start enacting the mitigations, the less jarring they need to be when they’re implemented,� Council member Kristen Sneddon said. “I think that this particular reach code for new construction only is a way to have incremental change.� She added, “This is a complicated issue, but I would say that what makes it complicated is the policy decisions. The science is clear.� Council member Eric Friedman said he’d like to see a focus on employees in the gas industry and the exemptions.

“I understand the costs that come with it (all-electric construction),� he said. “A lot of the jobs are for people who live in North County and other parts of the county that don’t necessarily have the same economic opportunities as the south.� Mr. Friedman said he wanted to look into restaurants and backyard appliances such as barbecues, swimming pools and fireplaces as potential exemptions. “We are in unprecedented times in terms of the pandemic and the number of businesses shutting down, so we need to be very thoughtful and many of these businesses have been here for years,� he said. “They are a part of the discussion because they all or most of them want to go green, but they want to stay a business first because you can’t be a green business without a business.� He also mentioned the importance of city staff looking into grid reliability with the transition to all-electric construction. Council member Meagan Harmon echoed the sentiments of protecting local workers, and “ensuring no one is left behind.� “We have to consider and account for the implications of this transition to a green future and think about the externalities and how it will impact people and their families and their livelihoods,� she said. Council member Mike Jordan voted for the transition, but said he would rather have a reach code

that allows for electric-preferred basis rather than a mandated basis. “It’s clear to me that the level of engagement on this subject indicates that we haven’t done our job yet — there are many people out there who disagree and I have a different pathway to that than just ignoring them and telling them we’re correct and they’re wrong,� he said. “People tend to recognize that we made a goal, but they don’t really sit up and take notice until it starts to impact or threaten their personal livelihood or the personal way they live their lives.� He emphasized outreach to nonEnglish speakers and those who are concerned they will lose their already existing gas appliances in their homes, which is not the case. “It shouldn’t be that we’re working on these things; they should be ready to go at the same time we’re asking people to electrify,� he said. New Mayor Pro Tempore Oscar Gutierrez also supported the transition to all-electric, saying that transitions like this have happened before. “I’m all for a just transition for the industry to be able to adapt to, this I know from speaking to a lot of contractors and a lot of union representatives. They’re extremely intelligent; they’re very adaptable,� he said. “This has happened throughout history — at one point in time, we used to use lead paint and then we found out the side effects of that, so we stopped.

“We used to do asbestos and then we found out the side effects of that, so we stopped. We used to use pesticides that were extremely dangerous to humans and the environment, so we stopped that,â€? he said. “I know that with a just transition, they can adapt to this new era of the future we’re entering.â€? Mayor Cathy Murillo concluded with saying she supports looking into ways to support gas industry workers. “I understand why Southern California Gas would be protecting its interests‌ I get it, I get it when‌ Utility Workers Union of America come to us and say, ‘Wait a second, this is my livelihood and this is how I’ve sent my kids to college and this is how I want to retire,’ so we do need to address that,â€? she said. “People need to ask themselves, ‘What is my relationship with fossil fuels going forward?’ “We need to ask ourselves how we’re willing to change because the change is necessary.â€? She also requested robust conversation on what transitioning to all-electric would mean for restaurants and institutions like hospitals and hotels, and to list some potential exemptions. It is unclear when staff will return with the information to implement the new permit regulations, but according to the staff report, “it is not anticipated to be substantial.â€?

TRAFFIC, CRIME & FIRE BLOTTER Bridge replacement project begins next month LOS ALAMOS — A project to reconstruct the bridges on Highway 101 at the interchange with State Route 135 in Los Alamos will begin Feb. 1. Lane closures will be in effect on the 101 and the 135 in both

directions Monday to Friday during the overnight hours from 7 p.m. to 6 a.m. Ramp closures will be enforced in both directions between 8 p.m. and 6 a.m., according to Caltrans officials. One-way reversing traffic control will take place on the 135 between Main Street and San Antonio Boulevard from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. Monday to Friday, as well as during the overnight hours from 8 p.m. until 6 a.m.

The project will include intermittent, full daytime and overnight closures of the 135 for bridge demolition and the installation of girders. The closures are expected to take place in May, July and October of 2021 and January and April of 2022. Motorists may exit the 101 in both directions at Cat Canyon Road to reach Los Alamos. A shuttle service will be provided for pedestrians, bicyclists and

those using wheelchairs during the closure of the 135. Traffic delays are not expected to exceed 15 minutes, officials said. Electronic message boards will be posted to advise all travelers about the lane closures and detours. The contractor for the $10 million project is Cal Portland Construction of Santa Maria. Construction is scheduled to be complete by summer of 2022. — Mitchell White

struggle with monthly rent payments, it is vital to consider rent relief to keep families safe at home as cases continue increasing.� Leaders of the Central Coast Alliance United for a Sustainable Economy, along with members of the Santa Barbara Tenants Union, called for politicians’ support of the bill to “stop evictions and save lives.� “If these tenant protections are not extended, millions of California tenants could be evicted on Feb. 1 for unpaid rent,� said CAUSE Community Organizer Wendy Santamaria. “This would occur while Californians are facing the highest peak of infection rates from COVID.� She said paying even 25% of rent is harder than it seems for those who lost income during the pandemic who haven’t been able to return to work, or those who never qualified for federal unemployment benefits. “Unless we pass tenant protections at the state level, we’re going to see a mass tsunami of evictions, with thousands pushed into homelessness and a level of economic poverty from which they will never be able to cover,� Ms. Santamaria said. “As a community organizer, I personally have received calls from families across the county of Santa Barbara telling me that their landlord is trying to evict them now.

“I am here today because ILRC is concerned about the effects lifting the eviction moratorium will have on seniors and people with disabilities,� he said. “It is already incredibly challenging for people to find housing that is accessible and affordable. For example, we have had consumers who have had to look for nine months or more to find another unit to meet their accessibility needs.� He added that with the potential of mass evictions over the next few months, ILRC is concerned individuals may lose their accessible apartment and will have to be admitted to nursing facilities because they will be unable to find a unit that is conducive to them being able to live independently. Sonja Martinez spoke on behalf of those experiencing homelessness, as she herself has been homeless on and off for more than four years. “Being without a home in Santa Barbara decreases our life expectancy by about 20 years,� she said. “With the prices today and the pandemic, I don’t see a way out of this in this situation. I see evictions on the rise and it makes me wonder, what’s gonna happen when we run out of cars to sleep in?� She said that since the pandemic, she’s seen more violence among the homeless population. “I just can’t see anymore people being in my position.

“How many more families are we going to see struggling on the streets without homes? It’s a nightmare scenario that can be prevented if we act now.� Lucia Trujillo is a member of the Santa Barbara Tenants Union and was born and raised in Santa Barbara. “We are united around the belief that housing is a human right and tenants are better off when we fight together instead of alone,� she said. “Marginalized, disenfranchised communities of color are most impacted during COVID and the housing crisis, because people of color are essential workers, undocumented, ineligible for vital services, uninsured or underinsured and face language barriers.� She said that as of Sept. 30, 2020, Latinos made up 48% of Santa Barbara County’s population, and 65% were infected with COVID19, 70% were hospitalized and 58% died of COVID-19. “This pandemic has only worsened pre-existing inequities in health, housing and the labor market,� Ms. Trujillo said. “Economic precarity has worsened. Communities of color are getting infected and dying at higher rates because they are essential workers, overly exposed to COVID, have lower rates of health insurance and reside in multi-generational housing.� Jacob Lesner-Buxton, the systems change advocate for the Independent Living Resource Center, also spoke at the conference.

Sansum’s 100 years Clinic looks back at century of service and growth By DAVE MASON

Cherimoya These seasonal beauties possess a velvety smooth creamcolored flesh that tastes like a banana, pear and pineapple all rolled into one. Also known as a “custard apple,” cherimoya is best enjoyed right out of their thin green skin. This week I prepared a simple vegan cherimoya custard as the Fix of the Week on A4. Available from January through late February each year locally, cherimoya are currently grown by a number of local farmers. They’re available at the weekly Saturday Santa Barbara, Sunday Camino Real, Tuesday Santa Barbara, Wednesday Solvang and Thursday Carpinteria farmers’ markets. The price ranges from $3 to $7 per pound depending on the size and shape.

Winter blueberries The local blueberries have been exceptional lately, with farmers yielding a bountiful winter harvest. Currently available at all weekly Santa Barbara certified farmers’ markets from several local agricultural producers, fresh blueberries are excellent right out of the basket. Add them to the morning yogurt, use them to create a fresh blueberry syrup for your pancakes or incorporate them into a host of desserts. This low-calorie, high fiber fruit is a good source of vitamins C and K. Blueberries are also believed to have one of the highest antioxidant levels of all common fruits and vegetables. The price averages $5 per basket.

Dr. William Sansum was a pioneer in diabetes treatment and started the Sansum Medical Clinic at Santa Barbara Cottage Hospital.

Cameo apples This variety of apple is recognized by the stunning red stripes that overlap a light green skin. Possessing a dense flesh that is quite juicy and moderately sweet, this crisp variety is a great general eating apple. Cameo apples are believed to have been derived from the red and golden delicious varieties, first discovered in Washington state. Currently grown and harvested by Fair Hills Farm of Paso Robles, these apples are available at the weekly Saturday Santa Barbara, Sunday Camino Real, Tuesday Santa Barbara, Wednesday Solvang and Thursday Carpinteria farmers’ markets. The price averages $3.75 per pound.

ansum Clinic’s 100 years began after a train ride. It was November 1920. Dr. William Sansum was traveling from Chicago with his wife and young son to Santa Barbara. He was recruited to succeed the late Nathaniel Bowditch Potter as the head of the Potter Metabolic Clinic, based at Santa Barbara Cottage Hospital. Santa Barbara is where Dr. Sansum made history as the first American physician to develop insulin and successfully treat a diabetic patient. Today, his legacy continues at Sansum Clinic, one of the oldest nonprofit outpatient clinics in California. The multi-specialty clinic is celebrating its 100th anniversary by calling attention to its history of advancements and accomplishments. (No celebratory gatherings are planned this year because of COVID-19.) Dr. Kurt Ransohoff, Sansum CEO and chief medical officer, credits Sansum’s long-time success to its original idea that better healthcare results from doctors working together. “I think it’s an efficient way to provide high quality care,” Dr. Ransohoff told the News-Press. Sansum Clinic’s history is actually the story of two clinics: Sansum Medical Center and Santa Barbara Medical Foundation Clinic, which merged in 1998. The name Sansum-Santa Barbara Medical Foundation Clinic was shortened in 2006 to Sansum Clinic. Santa Barbara Medical Clinic was started in 1921 by Dr. Rexwald Brown, who believed a team approach could pool resources, skills and costs, resulting in better healthcare. That was a novel idea at the time, and the clinic was on State Street near Sola Street. In 1967, it moved to 215 Pesetas Lane, and in 1973, it became the nonprofit Santa Barbara Medical Foundation Clinic. The Sansum Medical Clinic side of the story starts at Santa Barbara Cottage Hospital. In 1925, Cottage Hospital closed the Potter Metabolic Clinic. The closure and other concerns about restricted resources for Dr. Sansum’s diabetes research led him to begin Sansum Medical Clinic in 1928 at the hospital. Dr. Sansum hired eight physicians, including diabetes specialists, a biochemist to head up insulin research, a cardiologist, a pediatrician, a dietitian, and an ear, nose and throat specialist. The clinic became fully independent from the hospital when Dr. Sansum moved in 1931 to a nearby new building on West Pueblo Street and hired more staff. In 1938, Sansum Medical Clinic’s Dr. Alfred Koehler proved to be far ahead of his time. He showed the relationship between cholesterol and arteriosclerosis. In 1944, Dr. Sansum started what is today called the Sansum Diabetes Research Institute, but the Santa Barbara center isn’t affiliated with Sansum Clinic. Dr. Sansum died at age 64 in 1948. Six physicians bought the clinic from the Sansum estate and continued the partnership in his name. Sansum Medical Clinic continued to expand and make history. In 1960, the clinic’s Dr. Casimir Domz pioneered the first successful bone marrow transplant. In the 1960s, Sansum Medical Clinic recruited specialists to address the needs of the post-war baby boom. It wasn’t too difficult to recruit them, then or now. “Santa Barbara is such a wonderful place to live. We have that going for us,” Dr. Ransohoff told the News-Press. “The reputation of healthcare in Santa Barbara is very high.” In 1976, the clinic’s old Pueblo Street building was replaced with a $3 million, 65,000-square foot structure on the same site. After the 1998 merger of Sansum Medical Clinic and Santa Barbara Medical Foundation Clinic, the clinic Please see sansum on A4

continued to expand. In 2012, the clinic merged with the Cancer Center of Santa Barbara. In 2014, the Sansum Clinic Medical and Surgical Center and Sansum Clinic Elings Eye Center opened on Foothill Road. The surgical center is fully-accredited for outpatient surgery, and patients can stay there for 23 hours with overnight accommodations, Dr. Ransohoff noted. In 2018, Sansum Clinic and Cancer Foundation of Santa Barbara joined forces to create the Ridley-Tree Cancer Center at Sansum Clinic. The center is at a state-of-the-art, three-floor facility near Santa Barbara Cottage Hospital. Dr. Ransohoff pointed to the cancer center’s sophisticated equipment and skilled staff. “People don’t have to go out of town to get highly sophisticated radiation therapy,” he said. “We hired the first fellowship-trained oncologic surgeon in Santa Barbara. ... “People don’t have to travel to get world-class health care,” he said. Sansum Clinic has grown so much that it would be difficult to find a single Santa Barbara site that could house all of its services, Dr. Ransohoff said. “We think we have more than 300,000 square feet devoted to medical care.” During the 2010s, Sansum’s Pesetas Lane site underwent a $7 million renovation project. The Urgent Care Center moved there from its smaller facilities on Hitchcock Way. “It made a huge difference,” Dr. Ransohoff said. “We can do a lot of interventions that we couldn’t do at

Dr. Ransohoff said 20 to 25 percent of Sansum Clinic’s visits are now being done by telehealth. Dr. Ransohoff said he believes Dr. William Sansum would be proud today of the clinic that bears his name. “We would show him the endocrinology department and our six endocrinologists, and he would marvel at what is being done in terms of continuous glucose monitors and all the medication,” Dr. Ransohoff said. “I think he would be amazed by all the departments.” email: dmason@newspress.com

t is always fun to see what kind of unusual items people might encounter as they scan the local selection of fresh produce and flowers each week at the farmers market. One item that always draws curiosity this time of year are those bright green-skinned tropical cherimoyas. If you have yet to experience this exotic fruit, I highly recommend putting them toward the top of your shopping list, as they possess a flavor unlike anything you have ever tried. This fruit has a very sweet bright white flesh, which is both smooth and juicy. At first bite, it is hard to pinpoint the flavor. The first thoughts that come to mind are that this fruit tastes a little like a pear, pineapple and a banana all rolled into one. The texture allows the fruit to effortlessly melt in your mouth and slide down your throat with ease. Absolutely delicious! Cherimoyas are of a Central and South American origin. They mainly hail from Ecuador and Peru, but have since adapted very nicely throughout Santa Barbara County along our more coastal sectors. Our local harvest tends to run from December through about late March, so it’s the perfect fruit to hold us through the winter until the summer stone fruit begins. Cherimoyas are also a great way to ensure your proper nutrient intake through the winter as they are loaded with vitamin C, calcium,and niacin. When the fruit is ready to harvest, it’s typically picked on the firmer side, as it becomes very fragile when soft. When selecting your fruit, look for the brighter green skin and larger fruit for best results, which typically has a higher flesh-toseed ratio and therefore are often much easier to consume. When you get your fruit home, simply place it on the countertop

and wait for it to ripen. You will know that it is ready when you feel a slight give to touch, like that of a ripe avocado, which should be checked daily, so they do not get overripe. A firm cherimoya will usually take about four to five days to ripen. When they are ready to eat, they can be placed into the refrigerator, which halts the ripening process. They will be good for a few days thereafter to pull out and enjoy when you are ready. Cherimoyas can be enjoyed many ways. The most common is to simply slice one in half and scoop out the smooth velvety flesh with a spoon. Served slightly chilled out of the refrigerator often yields a perfect balance of texture and flavor. This week I prepared a quick vegan cherimoya custard, topped with sliced strawberries and pistachio kernels.

Sam Edelman is general manager of the Santa Barbara Certified Farmers Market Association and host of “Farm to Table,” which airs live 9 a.m. Thursdays on KZSB AM 1290. Cherimoya custard 2 cups cherimoya flesh ¼ cup vanilla almond milk (unsweetened) Dash of ground cinnamon Small pinch of salt 2 large strawberries diced or sliced (blueberries are also a nice substitute). 2 tablespoons pistachio kernels, chopped Place cherimoya, almond milk, cinnamon and salt in a blender. Blend until just smooth. Place in a Mason jar, or something comparable, and put in the freezer for about 1 hour. Remove and top with strawberries and pistachios. Yield: Serves 1.

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

Continued from Page A1

Multiple phone calls to Pea Soup Andersen’s Buellton went unanswered on Wednesday. The legendary, Danish-themed restaurant is well known by locals and tourists alike. It was described as one of the Central Coast’s “quirkiest spots� by Eater Los Angeles, which mentioned its old-school dining rooms, gift shops and banquet rooms. The popular green billboards that dot the freeway in both directions also add to the allure, touting its staple meal of split-pea soup. Buellton city officials did not return the News-Press’ request for comment regarding the listing of the building, which has stood since 1924 and held a variety of businesses. According to the restaurant’s website, the history of the historic site dates back to Friday, June 13, 1924, when Anton Andersen, born in Denmark, purchased a piece of the Golden State. “Once a Mexican land grant owned by Jose Maria Covarrubias and Joaquin Carrillo of Santa Barbara, the land was purchased by the Buell brothers in 1865,� the website reads. “R.T. Buell turned the land into a prosperous horse and cattle ranch and dairy farm, named Rancho San Carlos de Jonata. R.T. Buell married Miss Emily Budd in 1892 and they had five children. When Mr. R.T. Buell died in 1905 he was buried in the family plot, now the parking lot of Pea Soup Andersen’s Hotel. His body was later moved to Oak Hill Cemetery in Ballard.� The area of Buellton began to change after the turn of the century, and by 1911 Danish settlers were “pouring into the area starting farms and businesses,� the website notes. William Budd, brother of Emily Buell, opened a post office and it became an official U.S. Post Office in 1920. When the highway was diverted through Buellton in 1924 and electricity was brought to the

At left, Pea Soup Andersen’s, a Santa Ynez Valley landmark that dates back nearly 100 years, has been listed for $4.7 million by Radius Commercial Real Estate of Santa Barbara. Center, the two-parcel, 3.36-acre Buellton property at the corner of State Route 246 and Avenue of the Flags, known for its famous split-pea soup, was officially put on the market on Aug. 12, 2020. At right, Pea Soup Andersen’s went through multiple ownership changes following the tragic death of then-owner Vince Evans. Matt Guggia currently owns both the Buellton and Santa Nella locations.

area, Anton and Juliette Andersen purchased a small parcel of land and building from William Budd and opened a restaurant. The restaurant was originally named “Andersen’s Electric Cafe,� in honor of the couple’s prized possession, a new electric stove, the website reads. The restaurant served “simple, wholesome everyday foods,� such as hot cakes and coffee and ice cream sodas to highway travelers. In 1928, the Andersen’s sank a well and built a hotel and dining room for their now quite popular cafe. They named their new establishment the “Bueltmore,� a play on words referring to Anton’s days with the Biltmore. Juliette, an expert cook from the east of France, helped the restaurant’s popularity grow with her split-pea soup, which eventually led to the restaurant changing its name after the “tasty and nourishing� meal. “With the demand for their split pea soup increasing steadily, the Andersen’s soon had to locate large suppliers of peas far from their area. Just three years after

the first bowl was served, they were amazed to realize they needed to order ONE TON of peas,� the website notes. “When Anton faced the problem of what to do with one ton of peas, he solved it by putting them in the window, proclaiming the restaurant, ‘The Home of Split Pea Soup,’ the slogan it carries to this day.Though a ton of peas seemed a staggering amount then, Andersen’s today “splits� many tons of peas every month, transforming them into the famed soup. ..averaging thousands of bowls a day!� In recognition of the restaurant’s pre-eminence as probably the world’s foremost pea purchaser, the pea growers of Idaho have named Andersen’s the location for the start of the annual “National Split Pea Soup Week� every November, to honor the pea and the delicious soup it makes. After graduating from Stanford in the 1930s, the Andersen’s son, Robert, returned to the family business and established the billboards that have since become commonplace in the valley.

“During World War II, the restaurant closed to the public. The hotel rooms were used to house military personnel stationed locally and meals were served to servicemen and their families. Robert also purchased a small building across the street from the hotel and converted it to a canteen,� read the website. “The canteen was operated by the American Women’s Voluntary Services (A.W.V.S.), patterned after a program begun in England. The canteen was called ‘Co Na Mar Corner,’ representing all the services: Coast Guard, Navy, Marines and Army. The local Valley members took turns providing meals for the servicemen on weekends.� After the war, the restaurant opened with a flourish. Robert commissioned Disney-trained artist Milt Neil to re-draw the two cartoon chefs to use for promotion, and they soon became The Pea Soup Andersen’s trademark. A contest was held and from thousands of entries, the names Hap-pea and Pea-Wee were chosen.

In 1947, the new coast highway was rerouted through the center of Beullton. In that same year, the restaurant was changed to “Pea Soup Andersen’s,� and Buellton was nicknamed “The Home of Split Pea Soup.� Robert sold the restaurant in 1965 to Vince Evans. Vince, who was a well known local leader who began an acting career and developed a close friendship with fellow actor and future president Ronald Reagan, who later purchased a ranch in the valley, Rancho del Cielo. On April 23, 1980, Vince, his wife Margery and their 21-year-old

daughter, Venetia, were tragically killed in a small plane crash near the Santa Ynez Valley airport, the website reads. After the death of the Evan’s Family, Pea Soup Andersen’s went through multiple ownership changes. For the first time in many years the two remaining locations are under the same ownership. Mr. Guggia remembered coming to Pea Soup Andersen’s as a child with his grandparents and wanted to continue the tradition for future generations. email: mwhite@newspress.com

Museum to celebrate Underwater Parks Day

Pedestrian, bike safety improvements underway SANTA BARBARA — A pedestrian and bicyclist safety improvement project is underway near Stearns Wharf. The project includes work from the beachway at Skater’s Point off Cabrillo Boulevard west towards the entrance to Stearns Wharf. The sidewalks and beachway around the wharf restroom will be reconstructed and the beachway toward the ocean will be reoriented by six feet on the northeast side of the

crosswalk. A second, pedestrianonly crosswalk will be installed northwest of the existing shared crosswalk, and green bicycling stenciling will be painted on the beachway, according to a news release. A previous sidewalk will be constructed at an angle connecting the Stearns Wharf sidewalk to Cabrillo Boulevard’s sidewalk so that pedestrians do not damage the Chase Palm Park grass, and the previous concrete

will have a perpendicular path connecting to the restroom in the area. The project also involves new signage, the addition of bicycle racks for beach goers, and landscape improvements, including removal of two concrete connections between the skate park’s perimeter sidewalk and the beachway that will be replaced with turf. The sidewalk and beachway will be separated by a wrought iron rail, matching the existing rail, further defining

the separation of the paths. The goal of the project is to keep pedestrians and cyclists separated and to reduce conflict points by encouraging pedestrian use of the Cabrillo sidewalk and cyclist use of the beachway. The project is anticipated to be complete in early February 2021, and is a Vision Zero Project to reduce and eliminate severe injuries and fatalities in the city. — Mitchell White

Final College Park meeting set for tonight LOMPOC — The final virtual community meeting for a proposed new park at the College Park site in Lompoc will be held tonight. The city of Lompoc is applying for state Proposition 68 grant funding to design and construct a new community and skate

Return to the court for UCSB women delayed until Saturday By MARK PATTON NEWS-PRESS SENIOR WRITER

Two weeks after a double-header sweep at Cal State Fullerton, the UCSB women’s basketball team may be playing only one other game this month. The Gauchos’ Friday contest at UC San Diego has been postponed to allow the Tritons three full days of practice following their COVID-19 quarantine. The two teams are still set to play on Saturday at 3 p.m. in San Diego. “We are hoping to reschedule the Friday game,” UCSB coach Bonnie Henrickson said. “It’s a situation we’re monitoring. But looking at the (COVID) numbers right now, just getting a chance to play is a win.” The Gauchos (2-6, 2-2 Big West Conference) are coming off their league bye week and haven’t played since Jan. 2. Cal State Northridge, the opponent they were originally scheduled to play next week, opted out of this season because of the coronavirus. UCSB’s Jan. 29 and 30 games at UC Davis may also be canceled if Yolo County Public Health Officer Dr. Aimee Sisson doesn’t lift her December edict forbidding professional and collegiate teams from competing or practicing indoors. “The good news is that we’ve been getting better in practice,” Henrickson said. Freshmen guards Anya Choice and Alyssa Marin are both coming into their own, she said. “That’s the fun part,” Henrickson said. “The young kids are starting to put the ball on the floor and see the floor better. “The game has slowed down for Anya. She’s playing with a lot more confidence and aggression, taking the ball to the rim. “And Alyssa has been great from the three-point line (42.3%) and even the free-throw line. She leads us in free throws (25-for-32, 78.1%). She’s also become really aggressive in attacking the basket.” UCSB’s lineup has been reduced to just eight players, with masked assistant coaches filling out the scout team during practice. Two Gauchos, 6-4 senior Natalia Bruening and 6-foot junior transfer Megan Anderson, are on the injured list. Five others including All-America center Ila Lane opted out of this season because of the pandemic.

“It is what it is, and it has to be enough,” Henrickson said. “Everybody on the floor is getting a chance to get better and everybody gets tons of reps in practice. That’s part of it. “We’ve changed our format of practices and shooting a lot more because we can’t just be going up and down with the numbers we’ve got. That’s actually been helpful. It’s a good thing to reflect back upon and not let go of that.” UCSB is shooting a healthy 37.5% from the three-point line. Leading scorer Doris Jones (15.1 points per game), a 5-9 senior transfer, is shooting 37.5% from three. Senior point guard Dane Miller (12.6) is hitting 36.4%. “Doris is kind of understanding the opportunity,” Henrickson said. “She’s a young lady who can create shots for herself like Danae but she’s also letting go of the ball when she needs to. “She attacks so well that she draws traffic, like Danae, so defenses try to take away the driving lanes and bring the secondary defense to her quickly. She’s doing a really good job of moving the ball. It’s how we need to play offensively.” Colorado State transfer Taylor Mole, a 6-2 forward who became eligible at the start of Big West play, has made half of her threes (12-for-24) to average 14.8 points along with 9.5 rebounds. Henrickson plans to give Mole her first start on Saturday. “Taylor has been productive on both ends — rebounding and blocking shots and scoring,” she said. “She puts it on the floor better than I’d anticipated. “I knew she was a capable threepoint shooter but her ability to play a little one-on-one and the old-man, up-and-under game got us all jumping up and down in practice. Someone tried to block her shot and she pivoted and scored. “She also plays longer than she is tall. She’s a better rim protector than I thought.” The Westmont College women will also play Saturday, taking the court for the first time since its Dec. 12 exhibition game at Long Beach State. The Warriors, ranked No. 1 in the NAIA, will play host to Azusa Pacific at 3 p.m. Spectators will not be allowed because of the COVID19 pandemic. email: mpatton@newspress.com

By MARK PATTON When opportunity knocked, Gabe Vincent knocked down shots. The former UCSB basketball star, playing under a two-way contract that was meant to shuttle him between Sioux Falls of the G League to Miami of the NBA, made a big case on Tuesday night for sticking with the Heat. Vincent responded to his first NBA start by scoring a careerhigh 24 points in a 137-134, overtime defeat at Philadelphia. He’s expected to start again tonight when Miami, down to just eight players because of COVID-19 protocol, faces the 76ers again in its two-game series. “Opportunity comes few and far between,” said Vincent, a 2018 graduate of UCSB. “We just try to be ready for when it does. “I’m not happy about the circumstances. I’d love for the rest of our team to be here and be competing with us. I just try to take advantage of it and try to impact the game on both sides of the floor.” Eight Miami players including NBA All-Stars Jimmy Butler and Bam Adebayo were sent home to Florida on Monday because of contact-tracing protocol. By halftime, Vincent had already surpassed his previous careerhigh of nine points. His 12-point second quarter put the Heat in the lead, 63-55. “Gabe was terrific all game through, running the point for us,” coach Erik Spoelstra said. “Guys really wanted to get out there and compete. “We’ve been holed up in a hotel room for the last 48 hours. Guys really wanted to get out of the rooms and get out there and play.” Vincent made 9-of-20 shots including 4-of-12 three-pointers. He led UCSB to a 23-9 season in 2018 — the most wins in school history — while averaging 12.4 points and 3.3 assists. He topped the Big West Conference that season with an assist-to-turnover ratio of 2.7. He graduated as the Gauchos’

ninth all-time leading scorer with 1,441 points and also set a school record with 243 career threepointers. Vincent showed his shooting prowess last year in the G League, winning its Most Improved Player Award while averaging 20.9 points with a league-best 4.2 threepointers per game. His versatility was on display Tuesday with several scoring drives through Philadelphia’s defense. He also had three assists, two rebounds, and two steals. “This world loves labels,” Vincent said. “We’re so quick to label people for everything but I’m a basketball player at the end of the day. “I can make plays off the ball. I can make plays on the ball. I can handle (the ball). I can defend. I was able to showcase a little bit of that in terms of getting to the hole and shooting the three. It’s a little bit of everything.” He converted a key three-point play with 3:29 left when he hit a 16-foot jumper while being fouled. His free throw drew Miami to within 112-110 in a game it would eventually take into overtime before losing. “It’s a shame because our guys did more than enough to put ourselves in a position to win,” Spoelstra said. “It wasn’t a matter of lack of want or lack of effort. Our guys emptied it all out there.” Vincent has been dealing with a knee issue which kept him out of all but one game during last season’s NBA playoffs. Miami wound up advancing to the NBA Finals before losing to the Los Angeles Lakers. He received arthroscopic surgery during the offseason and was listed on Tuesday’s injury list as “probable” because of knee soreness. But with the Heat down to eight players, Spoelstra had Vincent play 36 minutes. “Our guys have done a great job of conditioning and preparing themselves as if they would play 25, 30 minutes,” Spoelstra said. “Now the conditioning and court work they’re doing behind the

SB Unified board approves grading policy

A new grading policy will be implemented in the Santa Barbara Unified School District Jan. 19 replacing Fs with “no credit.” The board unanimously approved the policy during its meeting Tuesday night. The policy was proposed by administrators after seeing higher rates of Ds and Fs during the pandemic, especially among traditionally underserved groups. The original proposal replaced Ds with “incomplete” marks but was amended to permit Ds. In elementary schools, parents will be contacted earlier when students receive grades below proficient, and staff will help the students reach that level. “We want to acknowledge that many teachers have wrestled with ensuring that grading practices are equitable, and in particular, that they are responsive to student needs during these challenging distance learning conditions brought on by the pandemic,” Ana Escobedo, assistant superintendent of elementary education, said in the district’s presentation to the board. District administration acknowledged that the policy would not fix the heart of the issue but would at least release pressure from students. “When we see low grades, we should study them as a symptom of what the underlying barriers and challenges are,” Shawn Carey, assistant superintendent of secondary education, said. “I want to reiterate that grades are both high stakes and at the same time, just one measure of student learning, growth and well being are non instructional components that are critical to making learning possible,” she said. Board members agreed and expressed a desire for a long-

scenes is not the same as game minutes, but it’s as close as you possibly can get. And they’ve been very diligent with their conditioning programs.” Vincent could become the latest G League player that Miami develops into an NBA star, following in the footsteps of Kendrick Nunn, Duncan Robinson and Derrick Jones Jr. “We’re not just trying to develop for the future,” Spoelstra said. “We’re trying to develop guys to learn how to win at the highest level this year, right now.” email: mpatton@newspress.com

there are only two purposes: One to shame him; secondly to prevent him from running again. “Nothing else is accomplished,” Mr. Caldwell said. “Those people who were upset by the election results and appearance of fraud are further aggrieved.” Meanwhile, U.S. Rep. Liz Cheney, the third-highest ranking Republican in the House, was among the 10 Republicans who voted for impeachment. She is now facing calls from GOP members to step down from leadership because of that stance. Another Republican, U.S. Rep. John Katko of New York, explained his reason for voting for the impeachment. “To allow the president of the United States to incite this attack without consequence is a direct threat to the future of our democracy,” the former federal prosecutor said in a statement. “For that reason, I cannot sit by without taking action.” Speaker Nancy Pelosi will determine when to send the article of the impeachment to the Senate, where a vote of 67 senators will be required for conviction. That means the 48 Democrats and two independents caucusing with them would need the support of

term plan in the future. Board member Virginia Alvarez wanted to see a study group of teachers and other stakeholders troubleshoot grading policies to create a progressive strategy. “I want to make sure that we locate resources for staff development, give the teacher the tools, the resources that they need to carry this important work,” she said. Karen McBride, Santa Barbara Teachers Association president, commented about potential long-term problems. “So if you’re talking about changes that require staff training, please make sure to fund it and schedule it,” she said. “And when talking about future social justice, I urge that these should not be tied to site budgets in a manner that creates inequities across the district because we all know that different school sites see different things going on.” Parents and students called in supporting the new policy. “This new grading policy passes; it’ll be a huge help to many students. School has never been easy. With distance learning, teachers just keep piling up an overwhelming amount of work to complete in such a short time period,” Angela Ortega, a sophomore at San Marcos High School, said. The student commenters felt overwhelmed at the amount of homework, especially when compounded upon household duties. “I know that many people including myself are stressed about our grades and especially in these hard times. Many students don’t have it as easy as others; they have more responsibilities as well as having problems in school with the pandemic stress,” said Ivan Esparza, a junior at San Marcos. email: ahanshaw@newspress. com 17 Republicans. So far, at least four Republican senators have said they were either undecided or considering supporting the impeachment article. They are U.S. Sens. Lisa Murkowski of Alaska, Ben Sasse of Nebraska, Pat Toomey of Pennsylvania and Majority Leader Mitch McConnell. If a conviction occurred, the Senate would need a simple majority to decide to only remove President Trump from office or to additionally bar him from holding office again. He has talked about running in 2024. A Senate trial could happen before or after President Trump leaves office. President Trump was first impeached by the Democraticcontrolled House in December 2019 after his phone call pressuring the president of Ukraine to investigate President-elect Joe Biden. He was acquitted in the Republicancontrolled Senate. Earlier this week, the House tried to persuade Vice President Mike Pence to invoke the 25th Amendment to remove the president from office. But Mr. Pence declined, accusing House Democrats of playing “political games at a time so serious in the life of our nation.” email: dmason@newspress.com

facilities. The list also includes paramedics and EMTs. Also eligible are people who work at emergency medical services, dialysis centers, home health care and in-home supportive services, primary care clinics, urgent care clinics and specialty clinics. The list also includes community health workers such as promotoras, laboratory workers, dental and other oral health clinics, and pharmacy staff. Dr. Fitzgibbons said Cottage Health hopes that the drive-up event will help small clinics that don’t have access to the vaccines. Cottage Health is setting up an elaborate tent in which motorists will drive up. No one will get out of their car, and retired nurses and physicians are helping with the vaccinations. The event comes at a time when the state has been criticized for a slow rollout of the vaccines, but Dr. Fitzgibbons said she has been encouraged by efforts in Santa Barbara County. “We’re actually doing very well, relative to other communities,�

she said. “As this gets going, the percentage is going to improve. “In Santa Barbara County, we’ve been ahead of the curve, but we aren’t exactly where I think we need to be,� Dr. Fitzgibbons said. Los Angeles, Orange and San Diego counties are trying to boost vaccinations with massive events at Dodgers Stadium, Disneyland and Petco Park, respectively. That raises the question of whether similar events should be held at Earl Warren Showgrounds in Santa Barbara and Santa Maria Fairpark. Dr. Kurt Ransohoff, CEO and chief medical officer of Sansum Clinic, said he could see some benefit from using sites such as ballrooms in large hotels. He told the News-Press this week that large-scale events would help to get a high percentage of the population vaccinated. “Let’s talk about southern Santa Barbara County; 250,000 people live there,� Dr. Ransohoff said. “Let’s say 70% want to get vaccinated. That’s like 180,000 people. To get those kinds of numbers, we’re going to need larger-scale vaccinations than we have going on right now.� Dr. Fitzgibbons said big clinic

efforts will go a long way toward vaccinating the community, but added, “I don’t think one size necessarily fits all for a community like Santa Barbara.� “We also need to get vaccines to primary care physician offices and our congregate living settings,� she said. Congregate living environments include skilled nursing facilities. Dr. Ransohoff noted Sansum Clinic is helping with vaccinations beyond its own staff. “The Public Health Department needed help vaccinating other members of the community,� he said. “We have vaccinated about 500 healthcare workers who do not work for Sansum Clinic. Some work for our competitors. They didn’t have access to vaccines, but we did, so we’ve been helping to get them vaccinated.� Dr. Ransohoff said Sansum Clinic has been using Moderna vaccines, but has one -90 Fahrenheit freezer for the Pfizer vaccines. (Moderna doesn’t need to be in that freezer.) “We’ve ordered another freezer,� Dr. Ransohoff said. “You’ll not be surprised to hear there’s a backlog in getting that

ordered.� Dr. Fitzgibbons said she’s optimistic that everyone who wants a vaccine will get one by this summer. “The bigger challenge is making sure our community is as protected as it can be,� she said. “That’s making sure people who are yearning for more information about the vaccine have access to it.� She noted that available data shows the vaccines remain a good match for the recent COVID19 variants that originated in Britain and South Africa. Dr. Fitzgibbons said the latest estimates show herd immunity could be achieved when 70 or 80% or more of the population is vaccinated. But she noted any increase in the vaccinated population benefits the community. Experts have said vaccinated people should still wear masks, stay six feet from others and wash their hands frequently. While the vaccines protect people from getting sick, they haven’t been shown yet to prevent people from carrying COVID-19 and infecting others. email: dmason@newspress.com

One street light will be selected to use for the city’s LED Street Lighting Project, which will replace more than 1,300 High-Pressure Sodium street light fixtures with new energy efficient LED street lights. They will save the city money, require less maintenance, provide clearer lighting and are better for the environment. The Department of Public Works encourages Goleta residents to review the various LED street lights installed with the pilot study and provide

feedback to help staff pick the best one. The light fixtures in the pilot project are located in the Cannon Green Drive neighborhood in western Goleta, and residents are encouraged to observe the displays along Davenport Road, Freeman Place and Elmhurst Place. The lights will come on around sunset and remain through the rest of January. Once residents have seen the different types of street lights, they can visit https://www. surveymonkey.com/r/GoletaLED to provide their feedback on their favorite one. For more questions or information, contact City Project Manager Michael Winnewisser at mwinnewisser@cityofgoleta.org or at 805-6905120. email: gmccormick@newspress.com

Dr. Joanne Savio Garofalo MD, beloved wife, mother, grandmother, great-grandmother, and Santa Barbara Family Physician went home to be with Our Lord and Heavenly Father the morning of January 4, 2021 in Santa Barbara. She was 86. She was gracious, kind, intelligent, spiritual, and so giving. She lived an amazing life and leaves behind a huge legacy. Born on July 20, 1934 in Chester, Pennsylvania, she was the third of four children to be born to Anthony and Mary Natale. Joanne’s father had been born in Avellino, Italy and emigrated to the United States at the age of nine. Her mother, Mary, was born in Pennsylvania, the child of Italian Immigrants. Her father served in the United 6WDWHV $UP\ LQ :RUOG :DU , +HU FKLOGKRRG ZDV VSHQW DW WKH IDPLO\ KRPH LQ 6SULQJĂ€HOG Pennsylvania. She often spoke of great traditions her parents taught her about life and her Italian Heritage. From an early age, Joanne was a lover of Science. She never imagined being anything other than a Doctor when she grew up. Joanne was a top scholar throughout her education, and excelled academically wherever she attended. Graduating with Honors from Chester High School, she went on to study Chemistry at Immaculata University in East Whiteland Township, Pennsylvania, where she graduated with the highest honors. She received her Doctorate Medical Degree (M.D.) from the University of Irvine School of Medicine in 1960 and from then on devoted her professional life to Family Medicine and helping others. In the 1960s she ran a prominent Family Medicine Clinic in the San Fernando Valley area of Los Angeles. In 1972, Joanne married Dr. Joseph Garofalo, a Santa Barbara Podiatrist and together they built a beautiful partnership for 49 years. She was extremely dedicated to serving her patients, as many had been in her care for 40+ years. Joanne was an accomplished Physician but considered her greatest joy to be a mother to her 8 children. Throughout the years, she instilled her values in them: faith, family, and humility. She was a devout Catholic and had a special devotion to Mary, the mother of Christ. She would recite the rosary daily and relied on her faith to get her through the trials and tribulations of life. Sunday dinners were a “mustâ€? in the Garofalo house, as Joanne enticed the whole family with her world-class cooking of appetizing dishes, especially pasta marinara, eggplant parmigiana, and homemade lasagna, everyone’s favorite Christmas meal. Joanne enjoyed Traveling to many destinations around the world. She particularly enjoyed family trips to Italy, time spent at a family home in Lake Tahoe, and frequently cruising different European ports of call. Her favorite was to cruise the Mediterranean and Caribbean.
