Cruise ships return to Santa Barbara after COVID-19 hiatus By KAITLYN SCHALLHORN NEWS-PRESS STAFF-WRITER

Off the coast of Santa Barbara Wednesday morning, a new but familiar cluster of lights shimmered over the ocean, illuminating a possible sign of normality in a post-pandemic world. It was the Majestic Princess, anchored nearly 2 miles from the Santa Barbara Harbor — the first cruise ship to visit Santa Barbara since the program was halted during COVID-19. Before Wednesday, the last

cruise ship visited Santa Barbara on March 4, 2020. Santa Barbara has 17 cruise ships on deck to visit during the remainder of the spring season in 2022. Ships anchor off the coast, and passengers are brought to the Sea Landing on tenders to explore, shop and dine around Santa Barbara. “We are delighted to return to Santa Barbara, and our guests are excited to once again visit this beautiful California coast destination,” Briana Latter, a spokesperson for Princess Cruises, told the News-Press in a statement.

Holland America Line’s Koningsdam cruise ship is scheduled to arrive in Santa Barbara on March 26, the next to visit the area. According to a schedule, the 17 ships are projected to arrive in the morning and leave Santa Barbara in the late afternoon the same day. “It is really neat to see, a nice signal that the community (is) taking another step back towards normality: people starting to travel back to the community,” Mike Wiltshire, Santa Barbara’s waterfront director, told the NewsPress.

The cruise ship industry had a total economic impact of nearly $4 million in 2016 in Santa Barbara, according to the most recent study commissioned by Visit Santa Barbara. Retail brought in about $1.4 million and restaurants made up about $1.3 million, according to the study. Passengers reported spending an average of nearly $110 per party while ashore in Santa Barbara. After the Majestic Princess’ arrival Wednesday, the News-Press noticed more foot traffic on lower

U.S. Rep. Salud Carbajal, D-Santa Barbara, said the U.S. and other partners “can and must do more to support Ukraine” following Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky’s address to Congress. President Zelensky gave an impassioned speech to Congress Wednesday morning, invoking previous tragedies in the U.S. such as the 9/11 terrorist attacks and the bombing of Pearl Harbor in 1941. He played a graphic video showing the devastating impact Russia’s invasion has had on the people of his country. “Russia has attacked not just us, not just our land, not just our cities. It went on a brutal offensive against our values, basic human values,” President Zelensky said through a translator during his address,

Legislative Republicans unveiled a comprehensive package to address homelessness across the state Wednesday. Dubbed ACT on Homelessness, the package was unveiled by Republicans from the steps of the Capitol in Sacramento with a focus on accountability, compassion and treatment. “Republicans are proposing a multi-pronged approach to address the root of the homeless crisis and actually help people get their lives back,” said Sen. Scott Wilk, R-Santa Clarita. “Continuing on the road we are on is more of a dead-end than a path to success.” As part of the package, Sen. Wilk has a bill that would require the governor to report annually actions the state and local governments have taken to reduce homelessness and mandate local governments report expenditures on programs to reduce homelessness, clean up areas, provide mental health and substance abuse treatment and more. Other bills include protections

for places of worship that provide services or shelters to those experiencing homelessness from lawsuits, allow local governments to use Clean California and other highway beautification program funds for homeless camp cleanup efforts and require the state auditor to review the impact of the funds spent to combat homelessness. Still other proposals included in the initiative would allow more flexibility for funds used for mental health treatment and pilot programs and grant additional funds to local law enforcement agencies for wrap-around services. Additionally, it includes budget proposals to increase California’s behavioral health workforce and treatment options for mental illnesses. Republicans Wednesday said California has already spent $17 billion over the past four years but the problem hasn’t dissipated. Their proposal is made up of 17 bills. Sen. Patricia Bates, R-Laguna Niguel, is spearheading legislation to increase grant programs for local governments to increase

And this is my main issue as the leader of my people, brave Ukrainians. And as the leader of my nation, I am addressing President Biden. You are the leader of your great nation. I wish you to be the leader of the world.

A 2021 human trafficking task force identified 207 survivors in Santa Barbara County, and 43% of those people were residents of Santa Barbara, according to a presentation given Wednesday afternoon. And those are only the people who were confirmed. SB ACT, in partnership with the county’s Human Trafficking Task Force, held a virtual presentation on the prevalence of human trafficking and tools to identify, report and aid victims Wednesday for members of the community. Members of the Santa Barbara City Council also participated in the informative session. According to the 2021 task force’s report, 97% of the confirmed survivors were female with 29% 17 or younger.

“The idea that this is happening with children is, there’s not even a word for it. Heartbreaking is not even the right word,” Councilmember Kristen Sneddon said. “If we know this happens, then there must be more we can be doing.” According to the presentation, the definition of trafficking encompassed people who are subjected to force, fraud or coercion for the purpose of sexual exploitation or forced labor with the latter being more prevalent. Perpetrators can be anyone from a stranger to victim met through school, work or online. Some individuals who have been trafficked might not realize they are being exploited or want to leave the situation. According to SB ACT, which coordinates task forces, Please see TRAFFICKING on B4

Direct Relief aid arrives in Ukraine Emergency medical aid from Goleta-based Direct Relief has reached Ukraine, which is suffering from the fastest growing crisis since World War II. Large shipments over the last two weeks have arrived safely in the country, Direct Relief reported Wednesday in a news release. The need is urgent. The scope of the crisis exceeds anything that Direct Relief has seen, said Thomas Tighe, the Direct Relief president and CEO, during a staff meeting. The largest recipient of the aid has been the Ukrainian Ministry of Health. And Direct Relief said Poland’s Government Agency for Strategic Reserves is expected

to play an increasingly important role in upcoming shipments. The agency is coording aid deliveries. When possible, Direct Relief is arranging direct deliveries from pharmaceutical and manufacturers and warehouses across Europe to Ukraine, most often via Poland, according to the news release. In Goleta, Direct Relief is encouraging donors of medical supplies to include only one kind of supply in each shipping pallet, so it can be sent to Ukraine without unpacking and repacking. For more information, go to directrelief.org. — Dave Mason

Communities getting back to normal UCSB to end mask mandate; Solvang to reopen all of Copenhagen Drive to traffic; COVID-19 numbers remain low By DAVE MASON NEWS-PRESS MANAGING EDITOR

Emergency medical aid from Direct Relief arrives Tuesday at a distribution center in central Ukraine. The supplies went to Charity Fund Modern Village and Town, a Ukrainian nonprofit that has distributed the supplies to communities on the frontlines of the Russian invasion.

TRAFFIC, CRIME & FIRE BLOTTER DUI checkpoint planned in Goleta GOLETA — Santa Barbara County sheriff’s deputies will hold a DUI checkpoint from 6 p.m. to 3 a.m. Friday at an undisclosed location within Goleta. “The primary purpose of checkpoints is not to make arrests, but to promote public safety by deterring drivers from driving impaired,” Raquel Zick, the public information officer, said in a news release. “During the checkpoint, officers will look for signs that drivers are under the influence of alcohol and/or drugs.” The deputies, who provide law

enforcement for the city of Goleta, are committed to keeping the traveling public safe. “The safety of our community is and always will be our mission,” Sgt. Noel Rivas said. “We are looking for impaired drivers because driving under the influence is dangerous and puts others on the road at risk.” Impaired driving is not just from alcohol. Some prescription medications or over-the-counter drugs may interfere with driving. While medicinal and recreational marijuana are legal, driving under the influence of marijuana is illegal. Police urge you not to drive if you plan on drinking or taking medications that may impact your

ability to drive safely. Drivers charged with a firsttime DUI face an average of $13,500 in fines and penalties, as well as a suspended license. — Dave Mason

Survey developed for civilian oversight SANTA BARBARA — The Santa Barbara Community Formation Commission has developed a draft framework to create a civilian oversight system for the Santa Barbara Police

Department. And the panel has created a survey to collect feedback to be incorporated into their final recommendation to the Santa Barbara City Council. “We strongly encourage everyone who lives and works in Santa Barbara to complete this survey,” said Interim Police Chief Bernard Melekian. The survey, which is anonymous, will be available until 11:59 p.m. Tuesday. The CFC will offer paper surveys upon request for those without access to the internet. To fill out the survey, go to www.surveymonkey.com/r/ santabarbaracfc

UCSB will no longer require masks inside buildings, with the exception of classrooms, starting Saturday. But the university is recommending everyone wear masks indoors, regardless of vaccination status. Masks will no longer be required inside classrooms starting April 4, although they will be strongly recommended, according to a statement from the chancellor’s office. UCSB said restrictions could be loosened because of the decline in COVID-19 case numbers. Another sign of things getting back to normal is in Solvang, where the city council plans to reopen a block and half of Copenhagen Drive to traffic by April 18. Parklets have been in that part of the street during the pandemic, and the council voted 3-2 Monday to end the temporary outdoor dining program and allow traffic once again. But the council asked city staff to develop a program to allow for dining on privately-owned spaces.

Elsewhere, the Lompoc City Council has extended its outdoor dining/parklets program to the end of this year. COVID-19 developments are coming as new case rates remain low in Santa Barbara County. On Wednesday, the county Public Health Department reported 30 new COVID-19 cases and one death. The individual, who resided in Santa Maria, was in the 70-plus age group and had underlying medical conditions. The death wasn’t associated with a congregate care site. Of the 30 new cases, the highest number, nine, was in Santa Barbara and unincorporated Mission Canyon. Elsewhere, there were five cases in Santa Maria, according to the Public Health Department. Neighboring Orcutt had two cases. Two cases were in unincorporated Goleta Valley and Gaviota. Two cases were in Isla Vista. Santa Ynez Valley reported five cases. Three cases were reported in Lompoc and nearby Mission Please see COVID-19 on B4

At left, lower State Street in downtown Santa Barbara saw more foot traffic Wednesday after the arrival of cruise ship Majestic Princess. At right, a boat from Majestic Princess ferries passengers to and from Santa Barbara.

The Majestic Princess can hold more than 3,500 passengers, but was not full when it anchored off the Santa Barbara coast.

Department collects $7 per passenger listed on the manifest of every ship — regardless of if the guest comes ashore, according to Mr. Wiltshire. The exact number of passengers aboard the Majestic Princess ship was not immediately available, but the boat can hold up to 3,560 guests. However, the ship is not completely full, a spokesperson said. Prior to COVID, Mr. Wiltshire said 20 to 30 cruise ships visited Santa Barbara each year. Cruises are limited to September through May, considered to be non-peak business seasons. This schedule was designed to

minimize the impact on residents but strategically support Santa Barbara businesses, according to Ms. Janega-Dykes. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention has since established a Conditional Sailing Order, which requires at least 95% of crew and passengers to be fully vaccinated (defined as the non-booster shots) and testing mandates for non-vaccinated individuals before coming to shore. Earlier this month, Councilmember Kristen Sneddon said she had concerns about the cruise ship program — not because of the COVID protocols but the impacts the cruise industry has on

and strength in the face of brutal aggression — courage and strength that has inspired not only Ukrainians, but the entire world,” President Biden said. “Putin is inflicting appalling, appalling devastation on Ukraine, bombing apartment buildings, maternity wards, hospitals.” Still, President Biden and Rep. Carbajal have stopped short of out-right supporting a no-fly zone. U.S. leaders have warned a no-fly zone could be an escalatory move. “Enforcing a ‘no-fly zone’ would mean sending American and NATO pilots into direct confrontation with the Russian military — something I think we can all understand is an escalatory outcome that should be avoided after we spent a large portion of last century facing that same risk,” Rep. Carbajal said in a statement to the NewsPress. “Whether it’s boots on the ground or boots in the air, sending

American armed forces into Ukraine is an escalatory step in this war that I do not support at this time.” “I believe we can help Ukraine have the means to fight Russian air power with its own capabilities,” he continued. U.S. Sen. Dianne Feinstein, D-Calif., said she supports President Zelensky’s request for advanced defensive weaponry, saying the U.S. must lead the efforts for international diplomacy and economic pressure on Russia to end the war. “This war has killed thousands and more than 3 million Ukrainians have already fled their country,” Sen. Feinstein said on social media. “We must do all we can to end the suffering and make sure Vladimir Putin understands this is not a war he can win.” email: kschallhorn@newspress.com

Being the leader of the world means to be the leader of peace.” Sharing a picture of President Zelensky, dressed in his usual army-green shirt, Rep. Carbajal reaffirmed his commitment to helping Ukraine. Rep. Carbajal is a member of the House Armed Services Committee who visited Ukraine in December and met with military and government officials. “I am committed to working with my colleagues in Congress and President Joe Biden to secure the additional aid that President Zelensky asked for today: helping Ukraine acquire the military capabilities it needs to clear its airspace of threats, providing additional humanitarian and security assistance, and implementing more crippling

sanctions to continue defunding Russia’s war effort,” Rep. Carbajal said. “The brutality of Russia’s unjustified assault on Ukraine is clear, and the U.S. and our partners can and must do more to support Ukraine and bring an end to this war,” he said. President Joe Biden, in an address to the nation later Wednesday, committed an additional $800 million in aid to Ukraine — meaning a total of $1 billion has been allocated to help Ukraine this week — and decried the “atrocities” Russian President Vladimir Putin is committing in Ukraine. The new aid package includes hundreds of anti-aircraft systems and thousands of anti-armor systems as well as drones, rifles, machine guns, pistols, body armor and helmets and ammunition. “He speaks for a people who have shown remarkable courage

State Street, a favorite area for visitors. The cruise ship study found more than half of the surveyed passengers were visiting Santa Barbara for the first time. About 50% said they were likely to return within one to two years, and 8% said they would visit again in just a couple of months. “Cruise ship passengers benefit local businesses such as tour operators, restaurants, wineries and area attractions which in turn generate taxes that support local residents. Spending by these visitors can make a difference in supporting our small business community as they recover from the losses of the pandemic,” Kathy Janega-Dykes, president and CEO of Visit Santa Barbara, told the News-Press. “As we know from past experiences and data, cruise ships generally arrive midweek and offseason when travel to our region tends to be slower, and therefore when businesses can use the income,” she said. “It’s a bonus that cruise visitors don’t contribute to traffic or parking issues, and the disembarkation location encourages direct foot traffic to the downtown corridor.” The Santa Barbara Waterfront

the environment. Councilmember Sneddon said she would like the city to “grow an environmentally sustainable economy” and phase out cruise ship visits. Councilmember Sneddon was also the lone no vote on a proposal allowing the city to contract with Santa Barbara Airbus Inc., to ferry cruise ship passengers to various downtown locations when in town for the day, citing environmental concerns. During the pandemic shutdown, many older ships were replaced by newer vessels that use alternative fuels or are hybrids, according to a presentation recently given to the Santa Barbara City Council. “We are happy to see the cruise ships return after such a long hiatus,” Robin Elander, executive director of Downtown Santa Barbara, told the News-Press Wednesday. “With up to 3,500 passengers per ship, the ship’s day visits will certainly be a boon to assist downtown businesses with economic recovery. Our Downtown Santa Barbara staff team enjoys welcoming the guests alongside the visitors center and city waterfront team and directing them to our downtown boutiques and unique neighborhoods to enjoy restaurants, wineries and more. It definitely feels like we are finally getting back to a bit of normalcy.”

Stargazing returns to Westmont College By KATHERINE ZEHNDER NEWS-PRESS STAFF WRITER

The Westmont Observatory will reopen Friday for the first time in two years. The reopening is set for 7 p.m., and the Montecito college’s observatory will be open for several hours. Masks will be required. The observatory was closed because of the COVID-19 pandemic. Now the Montecito college

will host a free public viewing on the third Friday of every month. People can gaze at the stars through the college’s powerful Keck telescope, and members of the Santa Barbara Astronomical Unit will bring their telescopes to share with the public. This Friday, “since the moon will be just past full, we will focus our attention on some bright open clusters in the northwestern sky and some open clusters near zenith,” said Thomas Whittemore, emeritus instructor of physics and

SBAU member. Possibilities include the Messier trio of clusters M36, M37 and M38 in Auriga, the charioteer, which are more than 4,000 light-years away. The viewing will also include M35 in Gemini, the twins. “This is a particular favorite of mine. The contrasting colors in the stars make for some dazzling eye candy,” said Mr. Whittemore. A new item on the celestial menu is the open cluster NGC1342, or “the little scorpion.”

“It’s particularly fun for me to ask the viewer what pattern they see in the collection of stars and let their imaginations enhance the public viewing,” said Mr. Whittemore. Free parking is available near the Westmont Observatory, which is between the baseball field and track and field/soccer complex.

Bolstered by strong pitching by Bridger Coleman, the Lompoc baseball team defeated Santa Ynez 11- 2 Tuesday. The Pirates dropped the game to Lompoc, who could not overcome the rough start. “You’ve got to tip your cap sometimes when you get outplayed,” Pirates Coach Warren Dickey told the NewsPress in an email. “Bridger Coleman was outstanding on the mound for Lompoc.” Coleman struck out 10 players. The bright spots for Pirates was Tate Minus’ two solid relief innings and four strikeouts, Dickey said. Bennett Lood had a hit, and Caleb Cassidy was 2 for 3.

pathway, and we’d like to see everybody get on board,” Sen. Bates told the News-Press. “We think we can probably be a leader in the nation of dealing with this problem and bringing people out on the other side where they can truly enjoy the California dream, the American dream, and be productive members of their community.” Sen. Bates said addressing homelessness in California should not be a partisan issue and praised Gov. Gavin Newsom’s recently-proposed CARE Court (Community Assistance, Recovery and Empowerment) plan. The idea is to get a person with an untreated mental health illness or substance use issue into a court-

ordered “Care Plan” that can last one to two years. “That’s a step in the right direction. I think we build from that,” Sen. Bates said. Republicans’ proposal “lays out a comprehensive path to finally addressing and correcting and solving the homelessness problem on many fronts,” she said. Earlier this year, legislative Republicans implored Gov. Newsom to call a special session to address homelessness. Republicans said Wednesday they’d still like to see a special session convened. Gov. Newsom’s spending plan last year included $12 billion for homelessness efforts, including increasing housing. “Getting people off the streets, out of tents, and into housing and treatment is essential to making our streets safe for everyone, but

BAILEY, Tiffany Anne

Tiffany Anne Bailey, age 52, passed away at her Georgia home on February 25, 2022. She was born on July 25, 1969 in Newport Beach, California to Patricia A. Bailey and Joseph R. Bailey. Tiffany set an example for everyone who knew her on how to live a life filled with joy, self confidence, dignity, perseverance, honesty, courage and happiness. Above all Tiffany lived her life with pure love in her heart for everyone. Tiffany enjoyed all the wonderful places she lived throughout her life. She fished and skied in Steamboat Springs, Colorado, attended schools in Santa Barbara, California and graduated with pride from Dana Hills High School in Dana Point, California. On Kauai, Hawaii she loved “living the good life” and working at Shipwreck’s Subs. In San Luis Obispo, California Tiffany worked at Cal Poly University for more than ten years. She especially liked serving breakfast to the football coaches and players. She met many wonderful friends in the area both through work and her journeys around town. Tiffany moved to Georgia in 2019 where she had many fun times swimming and spending time with her Mom, sister, brother-in-law and nieces and nephews. Tiffany’s passion was her artwork. She created many beautiful paintings often winning awards and was most proud that one of her paintings was chosen for an exhibition in Japan. She also participated in Special Olympics for many years winning medals in both swimming and track and field events. However what Tiffany enjoyed most of all was spending time with her large, fun and loving extended family at G.G. and Grandpa’s home in Pismo Beach.

JOEHNCK, Robert Detlef

On Wednesday, February 16, 2022, Bob Joehnck pulled the braking parachute lever, tapped gently on the foot brake, switched off the ignition and glided smoothly across the finish line one last time. Bob had the good fortune to walk the earth for a little over 97 years, almost all of it in Santa Barbara. He was born to Detlef Fredrick Joehnck and Lola Marion Powers on December 22, 1924, in Las Animas, Colorado after which the family moved to Oxnard, California before finally settling in Santa Barbara in 1932. He attended Peabody Elementary, La Cumbre Junior High and graduated from Santa Barbara High School. He and his friends were known as the local hot rodders and everybody knew Bobby Joehnck had one of the fastest cars in town. He enlisted in the U.S. Army Air Corps in 1943, and was stationed in England during WWII as an aircraft mechanic. Later in life he enjoyed telling his nephews that upon graduations his sister was sent to business college and he was sent to war. Shortly after his return from service he married Shirley Dixon and in time they welcomed a daughter and son, Cynthia and Fred. He owned and operated a two-pump Texaco gas station on the corner of Mission and De La Vina where McConnell’s Ice Cream stands today. Bob’s love of fast cars continued and he was soon setting up the first drag racing track in California at the Santa Barbara Airport with the assistance of the airport manager, Mr. Swain. Bob and his buddies formed the Santa Barbara Acceleration Association and got an insurance policy from Lloyd’s of London in order to operate legal drag racing at the airport with the blessing of even the California Highway Patrol. Several books that have been written about early drag racing history point out, “It was the birth of quartermile drag racing and Bob Joehnck was the Founding Father.” In 1959, Bob opened Bob Joehnck Automotive on the corner of De La Vina and Figueroa. Out of that shop Bob supplied high performance racing engines for boats and automobiles of all types, including circle track, sprint cars, and all manner of road racing cars. Speedsters of all types racing at the land speed events at the Bonneville Salt Flats in Utah created the canvas of his life’s work. Bob attended the Annual Speed Week at Bonneville for over 50 years. His cars still hold records to this day. He got a D-class roadster with open wheels to go 270 MPH using aspirated (carburetor, not blower) gas. In 1965, Bob convinced Vic Edlebrock to make a high-rise intake manifold. They developed the C-4B manifold which led to a whole new line of performance products. He partnered with Shelly Washburn of Washburn Chevrolet and raced the wheels off of the Chevy Corvette Sting Ray #614 piloted by the eventually famous Bob Bondurant throughout the ‘60s and ‘70s. The shop still operates today as a Joehnck family business. Bob remarried in 1976, to June Mayberry. They enjoyed life at their Mission Canyon home hosting family gatherings and attending races all over the country. Bob Joehnck was a mentor to thousands of racing enthusiasts over the years. Usually they did all the talking and he did the listening. He had what you would call an internal Hubble Telescope that could detect BS from several light years away. He went to work every day into his early 90s. He championed all the small business owners of Santa Barbara. He couldn’t tell a joke to save his life, but he really enjoyed hearing a good one. He loved going to the movies, going out to dinner and never met a bowl of popcorn he didn’t like. Bob is survived by his wife June, children Cynthia and Fred, grandchildren Douglas, Lance, Traver, and Erika and great-grandchildren Christian and Sydney, as well as stepchildren Jack, John and Trish and their children Laura, Kevin, Jenny, Eric and Shelle. His rascal nephews Geoffrey, Chris and Rob also survive him. We can hardly believe he’s gone. We just thought he’d live forever.

MILLER, Del

Today would have been Del Miller’s 92nd birthday. Her friends and family will celebrate her life and mourn her loss. Del passed away peacefully at her home in Fort Bragg, CA, on January 5, 2022. She was born Dolores Mary Vanderbeck to Walter Norman Vanderbeck and Phyllis Emily Hart on March 17, 1930 in Newark, New Jersey. Del grew up in NJ, and attended Southwestern Louisiana Institute of Liberal and Technical Learning in Lafayette, LA, 1948-1950. Two lifelong interests (acting and all things French) may have started there. Del was a member of Le Cercle Francais club and performed in drama productions before completing a Bachelor of Science degree in 1951 at Columbia University in New York City. On May 15, 1954, Del married her childhood sweetheart Walter Davis Miller. They headed west to sunny Santa Barbara, where they lived for 25 years. A move to Lake Tahoe, NV, in the 1980s reminded them why they left cold, snowy New Jersey. So in 1991 they moved back to their beloved ocean in Fort Bragg, CA. Del was a voracious reader. She taught typing and shorthand business classes, and worked as a bookkeeper and personal organizer. Christmas was her most favorite thing in the world. Del will be missed by her sons Christopher (Betsy Susman Miller) and Jonathan (Karen Baker Miller.) Walt died July 17, 2015 so they now are together again, forever.

public safety certainly isn’t just about homelessness,” the governor said during his State of the State address earlier this year. And just this week, the governor announced $181 million in funding for 13 new Homekey projects. “Leaving people with mental illness or addiction to deteriorate on the streets isn’t compassion — it’s the exact opposite,” said Assemblymember James Gallagher, R-Yuba City. “Throwing money at the problem won’t fix it. Neither will small tweaks to existing programs. It’s time for bold changes that will finally make a major difference to one of the biggest crises facing our state.” More information on the GOP plan can be found here: https:// cssrc.us/issue/actonhomelessness. email: kschallhorn@newspress. com

Sen. Patricia Bates, R-Laguna Niguel, speaking at a podium Wednesday, said California can be a leader in the nation with a comprehensive approach to tackling homelessness. Behind her are Republican lawmakers and people who are familiar with homelessness.

HAGUE, Floyd Ronald

Floyd Ronald Hague went to be with the Lord on February 18, 2022. Born on September 30, 1931 in Watts, California to Claude and Lizzetta Hague, he was one of six siblings (Elaine, Merlin, Clifford, Claude, Beverly). The Hague family relocated to Santa Barbara in the late 1940s where he resided up until his passing. He graduated from Santa Barbara High School in 1950. While a student, Floyd ran track for the SBHS Dons Track and Field team. After high school, Floyd proudly served our country in the United States Army from 7/25/1952 to 1/17/1955. During that time, he met his beautiful wife-to-be Elodia Arredondo in the summer of 1953. After his time in the Army, he re-enlisted but this time in the United States Air Force which he served from 1/18/1955 to 6/30/1960. Now a young husband and father, Floyd started working for the City of Santa Barbara where he worked for 47 years at the Santa Barbara Municipal Golf Course. He retired but went back to work for another 3 more years making it a total of 50 years of service. Floyd’s days would start early in the morning before the sun came up. Although he sacrificed his early morning for work, he made time to spend with his family and be able to be a father to his children and a grandfather to his grandchildren. You could always find him in his backyard listening to his classic music or radio show on his pocket radio while drinking an ice cold can of soda. There he would be tending to his little garden area where he would grow tomatoes, string beans, and flowers or even lifting weights. Floyd took an interest in watching history documentaries especially WWI and WWII. He also enjoyed classic movies of all kinds but sports was his biggest interest. In his younger years he took interest in old school boxing, baseball and basketball but always followed track and field, college and pro football especially the LA Rams. He was the true definition of what a loyal, hard working gentleman and a prime example of what a father and family man should be. He will be greatly missed. Floyd was preceded in death by his wife Elodia Arredondo Hague and his son Richard Hague, Sr. He leaves behind his children (Robert, Ronald, Ryan) grandchildren (Richard and Marcy) and an endless number of family members who adored him for the man he was. There will be a Rosary Service at 10 am followed by the Funeral Mass at 11am on 3/19/2022 at Holy Cross Catholic Church. 1740 Cliff Dr. Santa Barbara, CA 93109 (masks required). Followed by graveside services at Calvary Cemetery.

MONTGOMERY, Robert A.

After a two-year battle with pulmonary fibrosis, Robert “Bob” A. Montgomery passed away peacefully at his home surrounded by family in Goleta on March 13, 2022. Robert was born October 12, 1940 in Monroe City, Missouri. He attended University of Missouri earning his BS in Electrical Engineering and furthered his education at University of Santa Barbara, earning his MS in Electrical Engineering. He put his brilliance to work starting in 1963 on NASA’s Apollo Program. Here, he designed the guidance system used on all of NASA’s Apollo Command Modules. This work earned him the coveted NASA Astronaut award called, The Silver Snoopy. NASA astronauts Alan Bean and Dick Gordon presented this award to Bob in 1970 for his outstanding performance, and for contributing to flight safety and mission success. He worked his way up through management where he became the Program Manager for Air Force’s C-17 Program and was also inducted into the U.S. Space Workers Hall of Honor. It was very clear his career in engineering would be a huge success when companies were offering him jobs at 17 years of age, before even starting his college education. Bob married Mildred “Millie” Bertuzzi in 2006 and shared a wonderful life together, dancing the twist and travelling around the world, creating everlasting memories, and “once-in-a-lifetime” adventures, including visiting all 21 missions in California and several exciting cruises. They were sure to celebrate their traditions such as staying up late to bring in the New Year, enjoying the theatre, and taking advantage of their season passes to the Santa Barbara Forester’s Baseball games. Bob will be remembered for the joy he elated every time family would come over to their home in Goleta to partake in the many BBQs and other tasty dishes that the entire family created together. Bob was the past Grand Knight of the Knights of Columbus, Council #5300 at St. Raphael’s Catholic church where he dedicated a tremendous part of his life supporting others in need. He assisted at the Church Picnics, BBQs, Bingo nights, Friday Fish Fries and organized a multitude of other events. His favorite pastimes were playing softball, golfing, going fishing, annual super bowl parties, spending time at the beach with the children and grandchildren and having his happy hour at the Beachside with his friends and family. Bob is survived by his loving wife, Millie and children Michael Montgomery, Mary (Darren) Entrican, Thomas (Cheryl) Montgomery, and Beth (Roosevelt) Charles and their mother, Nora (Earnie) Earnhardt and stepchildren Reno (Kristy) Bertuzzi, Perry Bertuzzi, Teresa Bertuzzi, Vincent Bertuzzi, Bruno Bertuzzi and Gina (Brian) Grites and a combination of 11 grandchildren. Other survivors include his brother Ed Montgomery and his daughters Sondra (Scott) Faubion, Teresa (Brian) Young and Tammy (Steve) Zeiler, all living in Missouri. Recitation of the Rosary will be at Welch-Ryce-Haider Chapel, 450 Ward Dr., Goleta, CA on Friday, March 18, 2022 at 3:00pm. A Mass of the Christian Burial will be held at St. Raphael’s Catholic Church on Saturday, March 19, 2022 at 10:00am, followed by burial services at Calvary Cemetery in Santa Barbara. Reception will follow at St. Raphael’s Hall. In lieu of flowers, memorial donations may be made in Bob’s name to the Knights of Columbus, Council #5300, St. Raphael’s Catholic Church, or to your favorite charity.

SUDMAN, Beverly (Youmans) Beverly “Bev” passed away peacefully at age 91 on March 10, 2022 in Seal Beach, California. Bev was born on October 20, 1930 in Owosso, Michigan. She lived in Santa Barbara from 1972 until 2011, moving to Seal Beach where she spent more than 10 happy years. Over the years, she enjoyed playing and teaching the games of Pinochle and Cribbage. She formed a Pinochle club at the MS Society with her oldest son. She grew roses, orchids and African violets. She loved Hummingbirds. She enjoyed sewing, making clothes for her kids and baby quilts for most of her grandchildren. She was active in Pos Venidas, played in a Kitchen Band, and was church secretary, among many other volunteer activities. One of her favorite things to do was to bring ﬂowers to shutins. She had a big heart. She and her husband, Jim, were married 51 ½ years. She was blessed with 4 children, 9 grandchildren, 17 great-grandchildren and 5 great-greatgrandchildren. Celebration of Life on Sunday, March 20 at 3pm at Parkcrest Christian Church, Long Beach. Burial on Tuesday, March 22 at noon at Goleta Cemetery, Santa Barbara.

‘Tarascon Stagecoach’ Vincent van Gogh painting inspires collection By MARILYN MCMAHON NEWS-PRESS STAFF WRITER

nspired by the Vincent van Gogh painting, “Tarascon Stagecoach” (1888), in the current exhibit “Through Vincent’s Eyes: Van Gogh and His Sources” at the Santa Barbara Museum of Art, the Museum Store, 1130 State St., is showcasing unique items specially made for SBMA. Included are notebooks, puzzles, totes, paperweights, surfboards, jewelry and more. In the artist’s letter to his brother Theo, van Gogh described the inspiration for this painting, even providing a small sketch so that Theo could get a sense of the composition. “Well, I’ve just painted that red and green carriage in the yard of the inn ….The two carriages very colorful: green, red, wheels yellow, black, blue, orange,” Vincent van Gogh wrote. “ … The carriages are painted in the style of Monticelli, with impastos. You once had a very beautiful Claude Monet, of four colorful boats on a beach. Well, here it’s carriages, but the composition is of the same kind.” email: mmcmahon@newspress.com

SANTA BARBARA — Chaurcer’s Books will host an in-store book signing with local author Leah Thomas at 6 p.m. March 28. Ms. Thomas is an activist who coined the term “intersectional environmentalist” for the next generation of environmentalists looking to create meaningful, inclusive and sustainable change. Her book, “The Intersectional Environmentalist,” examines the link between environmentalism, racism, and privilege. The book is intended to promote awareness that saving the earth involves uplifting the voices of the planet’s people — especially those most often unheard, according to a news release. According to the news release, Ms. Thomas shows how black people, indigenous people and people of color in general are unequally and unfairly impacted by environmental injustices. Additionally she argues that the fight for the planet lies in tandem to the fight for civil rights and that one can’t exist without the other. Chaucer’s Books is located at 3321 State St., Santa Barbara. It’s in Loreto Plaza. For more information, go to www. chaucersbooks.com.

Stressless® Wing Signature Base

Organic black radish This is a rare variety of turnip that I purchased at this past Saturday’s farmers’ market from the McGrath Family Farm. A member of the Brassicaceae vegetable family, it’s one of the more intensely flavored radish varieties around. At one time, this heirloom radish was once the most widely grown radish in Europe. Enjoyed both raw and cooked, it has a flavor that is much more peppery and bitter when raw and becomes soft once cooked. This week I prepared a Roasted Black Radish and Sun-choke dish with Mandarinquats, the Fix of the Week (elsewhere on this page). Certified organic is available. The price is $3 per bunch or 3 bunches for $8.

Cocktail citrus baskets This cute assortment of citrus is brought to the Saturday Santa Barbara farmers’ market weekly from Friend’s Ranches of Ojai. The baskets contain a combination of mandarinquats, limequats and petite Mexican limes. A balance of sweet, sour and bitter, these fruits can be enjoyed skin and all, but may make your mouth pucker a bit. Use them to infuse cocktails, or slice them thin and add to salads and grain dishes. They also pair incredibly well with fish preparations or can be used to make a jar of unique marmalade. Price is $5 per basket

Organic sunchokes Also commonly referred to as Jerusalem artichokes, this vegetable physically resembles a combination of potato and ginger root. These edible tubers are the harvested stem to a specific type of sunflower, and can be cooked as you would a potato in most cases. Sunchokes can also be enjoyed raw, delivering a chestnutlike flavor and texture with an underlying sweet and nutty flavor. Unlike potatoes, they are not a starchy vegetable. Native to North America, sunchokes are being grown and harvested from Mt. Olive Organic Farm and are available at the Saturday Santa Barbara farmers’ market. Price is $5 per pound.

lack radishes, sunchokes and an assorted basket of cocktail citrus that included the likes of mandarinquats, limequats and small Mexican limes were some of my top farmers’ market finds this week. They’re likely not items on your everyday shopping list. But one of the best aspects of roaming through the weekly farmers’ markets is finding these hidden gems, which give us the opportunity to experience new flavors and textures. Of these finds, it is the black radishes that are probably the most stunning when it comes to physical appearance. They possess a truly black skin, which wraps around the cream-colored flesh. The flavor of this radish variety is nowhere near subtle when eaten raw, with notes of spicy, bitter, earthiness throughout. This pungent root veggie tends to have a sharper flavor than most other radish varieties you will encounter, in particular the small red variety that often ends up in mixed green salads or sliced thin and enjoyed with Mexican style cuisine. To mellow out the flavor a bit, one can cook their black radishes,

transforming them from crunchy to soft. Personally, I enjoy the pungent flavor of black radishes, and often shred them and toss in my salads and slaws. While the skin makes for quite a stunning presentation, peeling them does help to reduce some of the bitterness. For cooked preparations, I typically enjoy them roasted or sautéed along with other seasonal roots vegetables and brassicas. I find they pair quite well with apples and nuts, fresh herbs, and a finishing of olive oil and aged balsamic vinegar. This week I prepared a roasted black radish dish infused with some of my mandarinquats and roasted sunchokes, incorporating all three of my farmers market finds. 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. Roasted Black Radish and Sun-chokes with Mandarinquats 2 black radish, rinsed and diced small. 3 medium sunchokes, peeled

and diced into small pieces. 2 medium beets, peeled and diced into small pieces. 2 tablespoons olive oil, plus extra for finishing. Salt and pepper. ½ cup fresh cilantro leaves, very finely chopped. 2 green onions, finely diced. 3 mandarin quats, sliced very thin (make sure to discard any seeds, which can also use kumquats or limequats). ¼ cup raw pistachio kernels. Preheat your oven to 400 degrees. In a mixing bowl, toss together black radish, sunchokes and beets with olive oil. Season with salt and pepper. Place on a baking sheet, then place in the oven. Roast for about 20 minutes and check the tenderness. You will likely need to toss and roast for another 5-10 minutes or until just soft. Remove from heat and let sit to room temperature. Then toss mixture with mandarinquats, cilantro, green onion and raw pistachio kernels. Season with salt and pepper and drizzle with a little additional olive oil. I also like to finish with a drizzle of aged balsamic vinegar. Yield: Serves 3

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.

Senate votes to stop time change

Effort to repeal mask mandate on planes gains momentum By CASEY HARPER THE CENTER SQUARE SENIOR REPORTER

(The Center Square) — A bipartisan group of senators passed a resolution 57-40 that would overturn the federal mask requirement on airplanes and federally regulated public transit. Now that measure’s fate is in the hands of House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif. So far, Speaker Pelosi has not spoken publicly on the resolution, which would overturn an announcement from the Transportation Security Administration earlier this month that said the mask mandate would be extended through April 18. “At CDC’s recommendation, TSA will extend the security directive for mask use on public transportation and transportation hubs for one month, through April 18th,” the TSA said. “During that time, CDC will work with government agencies to help inform a revised policy framework for when, and under what circumstances, masks should be required in the public transportation corridor. This revised framework will be based on the COVID-19 community levels, risk of new variants, national data, and the latest science. We will

communicate any updates publicly if and/or when they change.” That announcement was particularly controversial because Centers for Disease Control and Prevention officials said in February that masks are no longer necessary except for those living where hospitals are overrun with patients, which means about 70% of Americans can go without masks. “We want to give people a break from things like mask wearing ...” CDC Director Rochelle Walensky said in the February announcement. Governors and local officials around the country have lifted their mask mandates as well, even in some of the most restrictive areas. Meanwhile, British Airways and Virgin Atlantic announced this week they dropped their mask requirement. U.S. Sen. Mitt Romney, R-Utah, voted to keep the mandate in place while all other Republicans voted to get rid of the mandate. “Those who work for airlines are compelled to incessantly remind paying customers not only to wear a mask while we board, but in between bites and in between sips,” said Sen. Rand Paul, R-Ky., who introduced the measure. “‘Sir, please put your mask on in between peanuts’ ...

Your appearance may be in person or by your attorney. If you are a creditor or a contingent creditor of the decedent, you must file your claim with the court and mail a copy to the personal representative appointed by the court within the later of either (1) four months from the date of first issuance of letters to a general personal representative, as defined in section 58(b) of the California Probate Code, or (2) 60 days from the date of mailing or personal delivery to you of a notice under section 9052 of the California Probate Code.

MERCHANDISE

Democrats and Republicans found something they could agree on Wednesday: stopping this whole business of turning clocks forward in the spring and back in the fall. In a rare unanimous vote, the Senate called for making daylight

The absurdity.” Sen. Paul’s measure would overturn the TSA rule through the Congressional Review Act, which gives Congress the authority to undo executive branch regulations usually within 60 days with a simple majority vote. “...the Senate said enough is enough, and sent a message to unelected government bureaucrats to stop the anti-science, nanny state requirement of travel mask mandates,” said Sen. Paul, who is a physician. “Since March 2020, unelected bureaucrats have incessantly declared that we should ‘follow the science.’ But the same bureaucrats continue to defy science by imposing an ineffective and restrictive mask mandate for individuals traveling on public transit and airplanes. “As the entire world is learning to live with COVID, the federal government still uses fear mongering to stubbornly perpetuate its mandates, rather than giving clear-eyed, rational advice on how to best protect yourself from illness. That is why I forced this vote, and I applaud the Senate for rejecting this nonsense.” Casey Harper works at The Center Square’s Washington, D.C., bureau.

NOTICE TO POTENTIAL BIDDERS: If you are considering bidding on this property lien, you should understand that there are risks involved in bidding at a trustee auction. You will be bidding on a lien, not on the property itself. Placing the highest bid at a trustee auction does not automatically entitle you to free and clear ownership of the property. You should also be aware that the lien being auctioned off may be a junior lien. If you are the highest bidder at the auction, you are or may be responsible for paying off all liens senior to the lien being auctioned off, before you can receive clear title to the property. You are encouraged to investigate the existence, priority, and size of outstanding liens that may exist on this property by contacting the county recorder’s office or a title insurance company, either of which may charge you a fee for this information. If you consult either of these resources, you should be aware that the same lender may hold more than one mortgage or deed of trust on the property. NOTICE TO PROPERTY OWNER: The sale date shown on this notice of sale may be postponed one or more times by the mortgagee, beneficiary, trustee, or a court, pursuant to Section 2924g of the California Civil Code. The law requires that information about trustee sale postponements be made available to you and to the public, as a courtesy to those not present at the sale. If you wish to learn whether your sale date has been postponed, and, if applicable, the rescheduled time and date for the sale of this property, you may call 866-266-7512 or visit this Internet Web site www.elitepostandpub.com using the file number assigned to this case 21001809-1 CA. Information about postponements that are very short in duration or that occur close in time to the scheduled sale may not immediately be reflected in the telephone information or on the Internet Web site. The best way to verify postponement information is to attend the scheduled sale. NOTICE TO TENANT: You may have a right to purchase this property after the trustee auction pursuant to Section 2924m of the California Civil Code. If you are an “eligible tenant buyer,” you can purchase the property if you match the last and highest bid placed at the trustee auction. If you are an “eligible bidder,” you may be able to purchase the property if you exceed the last and highest bid placed at the trustee auction. There are three steps to exercising this right of purchase. First, 48 hours after the date of the trustee sale, you can call 866-266-7512 or visit this Internet Web site www.elitepostandpub.com using the file number assigned to this case 21001809-1 CA to find the date on which the trustee’s sale was held, the amount of the last and highest bid, and the address of the trustee. Second, you must send a written notice of intent to place a bid so that the trustee receives it no more than 15 days after the trustee’s sale. Third, you must submit a bid so that the trustee receives it no more than 45 days after the trustee’s sale. If you think you may qualify as an “eligible tenant buyer” or “eligible bidder,” you should consider contacting an attorney or appropriate real estate professional immediately for advice regarding this potential right to purchase.
