Sheep in Santa “Bahh-bara” A wool-y great way to improve wildfire safety

Settlement reached in Thomas Fire, debris flow By MITCHELL WHITE NEWS-PRESS ASSOCIATE EDITOR

Southern California Edison announced a $1.16 billion settlement on Wednesday with insurance companies suing over the Thomas Fire and Montecito debris flow disasters. In the announcement, the power company said that “no admission of wrongdoing or liability was made” in reaching the agreement. Southern California Edison said it continues to make progress in reaching settlements with individual plaintiffs in litigation from these events, as well as the 2017 Koenigstein and 2018 Woosley fires. “We are making significant progress toward resolving wildfire-related litigation,” Pedro J. Pizarro, president and CEO of Edison International, the parent company of Southern California Edison, said in a statement. “The settlement announced today resolves all the subrogation claims in the pending 2017 Thomas and Koenigstein fires and January 2018 Montecito Mudslides litigation.

The Santa Barbara City Fire Department is using sheep to graze overgrown vegetation in attempts to reduce fuels at Skofield Park.

By GRAYCE MCCORMICK NEWS-PRESS STAFF WRITER

Haven’t you herd? Approximately 100 sheep are paying a visit to Santa Barbara to do their civic duty and help the fire prevention efforts. The Santa Barbara City Fire Department is using sheep to graze overgrown vegetation in attempts to reduce fuels at Skofield Park. The sheep from Cuyama Lamb LLC arrived Monday and will remain at the park through Oct. 5 thinning overgrowth on seven acres in the southern section of the park. This form of biological management within the Community Fuels Treatment Network minimizes impact to project areas and reduces overall emissions. It’s funded through

the Wildland Fire Suppression Assessment District. The city has utilized biological management with goats in the past, but the typical method of clearing vegetation is with hand crews who cut the material, pull it to an area where it can be chipped and deliver the chips to community members who request them. However, the sheep have certain advantages over man. “Sheep are good at getting a little bit lower on the ground in some areas where it’s hard for hand crews to cut in,” said Chris Braden, the fire services specialist with the Santa Barbara City Fire Department. “They’re good at making their own trail.” He told the News-Press that using sheep over hand crews is quieter, cheaper and environmentally friendlier than

hand crews. “This is a really positive project for the community,” Mr. Braden said. “We’re always looking at alternate methods to treat vegetation that are cost effective.” Fire personnel and operators of Cuyama Lamb LLC only have to check in once or twice a day to make sure the sheep are on task and not overgrazing. Once they graze a two to three acre section, personnel bump the fencing to the other areas. Cuyama Lamb LLC has worked with the Montecito Fire Protection District as well, and its sheep have grazed at Elings Park, the San Marcos Foothills Preserve, Arroyo Burro and various ranches along the Gaviota coast, according to Jenya Schneider, one of the owners and operators of Cuyama Lamb LLC.

“In our current situation in California, we need to use all our tools in the toolbox,” she told the News-Press. She said using livestock is much more scalable and can cover more acres than hand crews. “It’s also a much nicer presence in the neighborhood to have some sheep grazing around versus some loud machinery all the time,” Ms. Schneider added. The fire department requests all visitors of the park to maintain a respectful distance from the sheep and ensure dogs are leashed at all times, or else they will be chased away by guard dogs. Time “wool” tell if the sheep’s hard work pays off. email: gmccormick@newspress. com

other claims and potential claims related to the 2017/2018 Wildfire/ Mudslide Events remain, SCE has reached settlements with several hundred individual plaintiffs in litigation arising from these events. The company continues to explore reasonable settlement opportunities with other parties.” Last November, Southern California Edison and Edison International reached separate settlements with 23 public entities impacted by the fire and flood events. “With this current subrogation claims settlement, increased settlement activity with individual plaintiffs and currently available information, SCE is now establishing a best estimate of total expected losses for the 2017/2018 Wildfire/ Mudslide Events litigation of $6.2 billion (an increase of $1.3 billion from the prior estimate) and will record an incremental net charge to earnings of $878 million after tax,” officials said in a news release. “SCE’s best estimate of expected remaining losses is $4.6 billion.” Southern California Edison Please see edison on A8

SM Council declines gang recommendations By JOSH GREGA NEWS-PRESS STAFF WRITER

Due to budget shortfalls, expected layoffs, and regulations surrounding law enforcement agencies sharing databases, the Santa Maria City Council declined recommendations the Santa Barbara County Grand Jury made in a report regarding local handling of juvenile gangs. As part of the consent calendar at its Sept. 15 meeting, the council decided against implementing the Grand Jury’s recommendations with a unanimous vote to send a signed written response of declination to the presiding judge of the Superior Court. The response answers the Grand Jury report’s two findings that specifically mention Santa Maria and those findings’ respective recommendations. These are the first finding, that there’s no comprehensive database to identify local gangs and their members, and the sixth, that gang activities cross the jurisdictional boundaries of local law enforcement agencies. The database finding recommends that the Santa Maria Police Department pool its resources with other local police departments to make a comprehensive database. The latter recommends SMPD join a consortium that includes other local police departments and the Santa Barbara County Sheriff’s Office, hire a full-time crime analyst, share data, and hire

staff to write grants for anti-gang program funding. While the response signed by Santa Maria Mayor Alice Patino agrees with the two findings pertaining to her city, it states it will not implement any of the three recommendations. While the SMPD historically shared gang intelligence by using a statewide database, a majority of California law enforcement agencies have ceased using it because regulatory requirements on using shared databases have increased over the years. “As a result, the benefits of using the shared gang database became outweighed by the burdens imposed by the regulations,” the response reads. While the mayor’s response did agree that gang activities cross into different law enforcement jurisdictions, it stressed that “the overwhelming majority” of gang violence in the city of Santa Maria is committed by people who reside there. As for the recommendations that SMPD join a consortium, hire a crime analyst and hire grant writers, Mayor Patino wrote that the city is already going to experience layoffs as a result of budget shortfalls. In an interview with the NewsPress, Santa Maria City Council member Mike Cordero said that while all city departments are susceptible to layoffs, there are specifically plans to lay off a Please see council on A8

KOS’s variety of plant-based supplements.

KOS to expand product line By JOSH GREGA NEWS-PRESS STAFF WRITER

L

ast month, local supplement company KOS received $2.1 million in additional financing from Austin, TX-based businessmen and companies like venture capital firm Springdale Ventures, Whole Foods CEO Walter Robb, and Horizon Bank chairman Jim Schneider. Specializing in plant-based supplements like protein powder, capsules, and nutritional blends, KOS will use its recently acquired funding to expand its line of products, with 10 new products expected to hit the shelves of

Whole Foods stores, according to KOS co-CEO Tony Stahl. These new products will include a full meal-replacement protein powder coming in two flavors, chocolate peanut butter, and blueberry muffin, as well as a line of sugar-free gummies that serve as supplements for sleep, immunity, and as multivitamins. Whereas most gummies utilize sugar cane or sucralose, KOS gummies will not utilize any sweeteners and instead use chicory root, which Mr. Stahl said is naturally sweet. Also, rather than making gummies from gelatin, KOS is going to make them from pectin, which occurs naturally in the cell walls of fruits and vegetables.

This expansion of products comes just a few years into KOS’ history as a company. Mr. Stahl started KOS in 2018 with his coCEO Allan Stevens, with whom he had previously been partners in an electronic and IT components company called OTIMO. Circa 2009 or 2010, when the duo was still running OTIMO, they had an employee named Tucker who became gravely ill with stage 4 pancreatic cancer and died just three months after his diagnosis. Mr. Stahl recalled that he and Mr. Stevens at the time were “pretty unhealthy for the most part,” and learning of their employee’s diagnosis made them realize that they “could be doing different things in life

helping people.” Though the two CEOs had somewhat of an interest in health before their friend’s cancer diagnosis, finding out about his fatal illness brought their interest from a curious 7 out of 10 to a full 10. “This event really hit home with us and told us that we need to make some changes. We wanted to give back,” Mr. Stahl said. To help address foodrelated health issues like the overconsumption of meat, not eating the right foods, not eating enough, eating too much, Mr. Stahl and Mr. Stevens started KOS, named after a Greek island in the Dodecanese chain that was

Santa Barbara-based supplement company gains $2 million in new financing the birthplace of Hippocrates, also known as the “father of medicine.” “Tucker sort of spawned the inner KOS in us,” Mr. Stahl said. The company started with just one product, a chocolate and vanilla protein powder, and by 2019, just a year after it began, KOS products started appearing on the shelves of Whole Foods. Because of the current pandemic, KOS has started doing its own shipping. Prior to the onset of the COVID19, Amazon was handling all of KOS’s shipments, but the pandemic overwhelmed Amazon and negatively impacted KOS’s customer experience. In order to bring the buyer experience

back to where it needed to be, KOS acquired a warehouse in Anaheim six months ago to ship out wholesale orders. Though the company has gone through many developments as of late, Mr. Stahl told the NewsPress that it is not yet looking to expand its physical locations into other states and countries. “As of now, we’re just going to maintain our roots. We’re starting to expand globally as far as selling our products,” he said. In addition to the states throughout the U.S., KOS ships its products to international territories such as Canada, South Korea, and Japan. email: jgrega@newspress.com

About four to five times spicier than a jalapeño, but not quite as intense as a habanero, this variety is not intended for those sensitive to spicy food. Also known as a “bird’s eye chili” this variety is one that I most commonly encountered at produce markets, and in local cuisine, when traveling through Thailand many years ago. Used in curry dishes, soups, pickled, as well in an array of sauces, they deliver a very unique flavor profile under their

One of the most unique finds at the market lately, these lemons possess a very unique yellow skin with splashes of green. Once sliced, the pink colored flesh is exposed.

Sweet, crisp and juicy, this variety is recognized by its oval shape and pinkish-red hued skin. This late-season variety is a favorite with my kids, regularly finding their way on either their breakfast, lunch, or dinner plates. They also enjoy them frozen and eaten as a sweet treat, or incorporated into a fruit salad. Crimson grapes are currently available from select growers at all weekly Santa Barbara certified farmers markets for a limited seasonal window. Prices average $3 per pound.

eppers and chilies, the names of which are often interchanged for one another when labeled, come in a wide array of shapes, sizes, and colors, as well as a wide ranging degree of flavor. When distinguishing between peppers and chilies, both yield varieties which can be quite spicy, but it is indeed the chilies that take the prize for the most intensely hot specimens. Peppers are a member of the genus Piper, whereas chilies are of the Capsicum genus. Peppers, such as the most common “Bell” varieties, are usually more mild in flavor and/or sweet. Within the piper genus there are some relatively hot peppers that contain a higher degree of the chemical piperine, which gives them their kick. Chilies, rather, contain an even more intense chemical property called capsaicin that, when concentrated at high enough levels, can deliver an almost burning sensation to the pallet. Personally, I love peppers and chilies from both ends of the heat spectrum, and incorporate them into my meals on a nearly daily basis this time of year while in season. When going for the spicier varieties, however, my palette has a limit, usually those in the range of a jalapeño or Serrano. This week, I decided to kick it up a notch and grabbed a hearty bunch of Thai chili peppers. Popular across Ethiopia and Southeast Asia, they are commonly incorporated as such cuisines. About 4-5 times hotter than a jalapeño, I figured just a small amount would go a long way

in producing an appropriate level of heat that was still enjoyable. As a regular consumer of chili sauces, this week I prepared a sweet Thai chili garlic sauce. The balance of sweet and spicy is perfect to serve with tempura vegetables, spring rolls, or even a sauce for grilled chicken, pork or fish. To control the heat of the recipe, you can add half the amount of Thai chili and, or, remove the seeds and membrane within before chopping. Make sure to either wear gloves and thoroughly wash your hands after using, refraining from touching your face until the residual spice is no longer present.

Sweet Thai Chili Garlic Sauce 2 tablespoons Thai chili peppers, well minced 1 large garlic clove, well minced 1/3 cup rice vinegar 1/3 cup sugar 1/3 cup water 1 tablespoon cornstarch plus 2 tablespoons water. In a small pan over medium heat, add chilies, garlic, vinegar, sugar, and water. Stir regularly until the sugar is well dissolved. In a bowl, whisk together cornstarch and water, then slowly add to the chili sauce mixture, mixing until well incorporated. Simmer for 3-4 minutes until it thickens. Serve warm or refrigerate for later use. Yield: Makes about 3/4 cups of sauce.

LIFE

SANTA BARBARA NEWS-PRESS

“I often quote myself. It adds spice to my conversation.� — George Bernard Shaw

ARIES — A friend may have some juicy gossip for you, Aries. Perhaps someone is getting married. You aren’t the type to put too much stock in gossip, but your friend could be so convincing that you believe everything. Be skeptical! What you’re hearing may not be outright lies, but it could be exaggerated. Wait until you see the people in question before accepting it as truth. TAURUS — A last-minute gift that you’ve wanted to buy for someone special might elude you today, Taurus. You could go to several stores and find the item sold out. This could be disappointing, but don’t despair. There are other options. You could order it online or find something else and save this particular item for a birthday. Relax and enjoy your shopping. GEMINI — Everything may look wrong to you today, Gemini. The house doesn’t look right, the furniture needs adjusting, and you probably aren’t happy with the way you look either. Your perfectionism could kick in and you might plunge into action, determined to make it all right. Don’t bother! There’s probably nothing you can do to make it look right today. Relax. You’ll see things differently tomorrow. CANCER — A small gathering in your neighborhood could attract interesting people, Cancer, but you may feel a little under the weather and consider staying home. Your energy may be lagging, as all energy does once in a while after a stressful time. It might do you good to make the effort and go if at all possible. It’s up to you, of course, but enjoy the evening whatever you do. LEO — A quick check of your bank balance might reveal that it’s a bit lower than you expected, Leo. You probably won’t panic, but you’re apt to feel a little disappointed. Don’t waste time kicking yourself. Money can always be earned. Relax, resolve to tighten your belt a little, take care of the necessities, and stick with a financial plan. Soon you’ll be glad you took action. VIRGO — Working late, Virgo? What could be so important that it keeps you from paying attention to your family or partner? Probably nothing! Take a good, objective look at what you think must be done tonight. You’ll probably find that your company won’t go broke if you leave some tasks. Get as much done as you can and then go home to your loved ones. They’re important, +*#!2 +1$)"$ too!

LIBRA — An online prayer or meditation group could meet tonight, Libra, and you may get carried away with the spiritual dimensions these meditations take on. You feel comfortable with the people in this group, and you’re grateful for the friendship and support they provide. Be with this feeling tonight, and try to hang onto it for as long as you can. It can help you through some rough times. SCORPIO — Love matters have been going well for you recently, Scorpio, but today you could be alone and unable to reach a current or potential romantic interest. This could bring about a twinge of the blues, which up until now have passed you by. Don’t waste time feeling down. Find something to distract you until your friend can come around to see you and you can have a little fun. SAGITTARIUS — You could go over your accounts today and find that there’s considerably less there than you thought. It isn’t serious, but it can still be disappointing. There could be a new contract in the final stages of negotiation that will prove favorable, and you can find a way to make up for the shortfall. In the meantime, cut expenses so finances stay healthy until the new contract materializes. CAPRICORN — Have you been going crazy with all the demands placed on you? Don’t despair. Reflect on all that’s been going on. Think about where you want to make changes. Once you’ve come to a decision, don’t hesitate to implement it. This is easier than waiting for one big opportunity and doing it all at once. That chance may never come. The step-by-step approach can bring satisfying results. AQUARIUS — If you’re currently romantically involved, Aquarius, your lover could well go from what appears to be utter lassitude to total passion. This could throw you for a loop, and you might not know exactly how to deal with it. If you’re single, you could meet someone you find attractive but forget to get his or her contact information! Keep paper and pen handy. You don’t want to miss anything! PISCES — Have you made plans to have a romantic interest come to your home, Pisces? If so, don’t rush to get ready. Your friend is probably going to be late. Events beyond anyone’s control have interfered, and you might have to wait. Don’t make yourself crazy over it. Don’t imagine all kinds of horrible scenarios. Your friend will show up even if later than planned. Have fun!

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.

Persons who contest the validity of the matter described below and in the complaint will not be subject to punitive action, such as wage garnishment or seizure of their real or personal property. DETAILED SUMMARY OF THE MATTER THAT PLAINTIFF SEEKS TO VALIDATE: The California Department of Water Resources (Department) operates facilities which store, transport and deliver water to urban and agricultural water agencies throughout the State. Since 1960, the Department has approved, planned and constructed a system of water storage and transportation and power generation facilities (the Project). Currently, Project water is conveyed across the Sacramento-San Joaquin Delta through the natural channels of the Delta formed by the confluence of the Sacramento and San Joaquin Rivers, as those channels have been modified over the past 150 years. In recent years, the Department has undertaken to develop a comprehensive plan for the effective delivery of Project water across the Delta. The Department is currently undertaking environmental review and related planning and design activities regarding potential new Delta conveyance facilities. The facilities under review would transport water from new intake points on the Sacramento River at the northern edge of the Delta through an underground tunnel running below the natural waterways of the Delta to export facilities at the southern edge of the Delta. Separately, the Department has established a proposed revenue bond financing to finance the cost and expense of the environmental review, planning, engineering and design, and if and when appropriate, the acquisition and construction of Delta water conveyance facilities. On August 6, 2020, the Department adopted bond resolutions authorizing the issuance of revenue bonds for those purposes. Under the bond resolutions, bonds for construction cannot be issued unless specific conditions precedent are satisfied, which include regulatory and statutory requirements regarding the physical and environmental aspects of approving, constructing, and operating Delta conveyance facilities. On August 6, 2020, the Department filed a validation action to confirm the legal validity of the Department’s proposed bond financing. A validation action is a judicial proceeding in which a governmental agency, like the Department, can confirm the validity of a proposed financial transaction before it commits to or undertakes the transaction. The Department’s validation complaint, the bond resolutions, and a copy of this Summons are available on the Department’s internet website at: https://water.ca.gov/Programs/StateWater-Project/Delta-Conveyance/Public-Information. YOU MAY SEEK THE ADVICE OF AN ATTORNEY IN ANY MATTER CONNECTED WITH THE COMPLAINT OR THIS SUMMONS.

Day returns home to advance to semifinals of Pro Invitational By MARK PATTON NEWS-PRESS SENIOR WRITER

Tennis professional Kayla Day has traveled the world the last four years, but she had to come to her hometown of Santa Barbara to find a tournament during the COVID-19 pandemic. Day has been playing all week in the Women’s Pro Invitational, a $25,000 event being held on the Santa Barbara Tennis Club courts where she grew up. She’ll face Irvine’s Anne Christine Lutkemeyer in today’s 11:30 a.m. singles semifinals, with the final set for Friday at 11 a.m. Nipomo’s Sophia Whittle, Day’s WTA doubles partner, will play UCSB freshman Camille Kiss in today’s other semifinal at 10 a.m. Lutkenmeyer and Kiss are two of the nation’s top-ranked juniors. “It’s kind of incredible how it all came together,� said Larry Mousouris, who has been managing Day’s career full-time for the last two seasons. “The community really stepped up to help us put this on.� Day, the 2016 U.S. Junior Open champion, was making a comeback from injuries and illness when the coronavirus hit last March. She had won five of seven singles matches in her last two International Tennis Federation/USTA events when play was halted. “She got some good results in Rancho Santa Fe, won the doubles, and was playing really well when they shut the whole thing down,� Mousouris said. “The last tournament she played was in Las Vegas. And then just two days later, they canceled the BNP (Paribas Open).� Day, who had one of her best weeks as a pro when she advanced

more than $26,000. “We think it’s the biggest purse ever given at a tournament in Santa Barbara.� The tournament began Monday with round-robin play which pitted eight players in two groups. Day signed up along with WTA pros Whittle, Lorraine Guillermo and Shatoo Mohamad. Three of UCSB’s top incoming recruits also entered the singles: Kiss, fellow freshman Marta Gonzalez Baalbe of Spain, and sophomore Shakhnoza Khatamova of Uzbekistan, a transfer from San Diego State. Day capped her 3-0 run through round-robin play with a 6-3, 1-6, 6-1 win over Khatamova, who was the Aztecs’ No. 1 player last year while winning Mountain West Conference Player of the Year honors. “We’ve done some training with UCSB’s coach, Simon Thibodeau, and he got some of his players involved,� Mousouris said. “They’re all really good and putting it on the line. They’re really nice girls and he’s done a good job with that group.� Day and Whittle will also play doubles together at 2:30 p.m. today against UCSB’s Baalbe and Kira Reuter, a transfer from Texas Tech by way of Cambridge, England. Although the event is closed to the public, club members have been able to catch some of the action. “This is Kayla’s home club, so it’s good for the people here to be able to see her do her thing,� Mousouris said. “She’s doing quite well and, in a nutshell, is having fun.�

to the third round of the 2017 BNP, wound up detouring from Indian Wells to Santa Barbara. Her Women’s Tennis Association ranking, which was as high as 122 in June of 2017, was at 468 when the pro tour was canceled. “She practiced here until the club closed, and then we found some private courts,â€? Mousouris said. “Then they had some matches at the Newport Beach Country Club which were televised by ESPN. We literally played 40 matches in 2½ months, staying at a member’s house a mile away. “We’d play two matches a day

and got paid a little bit, but there were no ranking points involved.â€? They decided to return home again when the prize money was cut in half. “She was making that much just giving lessons,â€? Mousouris said. Jerry Jordano of Central Coast Home Health and Hospice helped put Day back into competitive play by proposing the invitational at the Santa Barbara Tennis Club. “He asked me, ‘What if I gave $10,000?’ ‌ and I said, ‘That sounds good!’â€? Mousouris said. “Someone else at the club gave $5,000, and then others started giving, too. We ended up with

erupted on Dec. 4, 2017, charred more than 280,000 acres between Ventura and Santa Barbra counties. More than 1,060 structures were destroyed, most of which were located in Ventura, Santa Paula, Ojai, Fillmore and other areas in the western portion of Ventura County. The fire claimed the lives of 70-year-old Santa Paula resident Virginia Pesola, as she fled during an evacuation, as well as Cal Fire engineer Corey Iverson, 32, of San Diego. On the morning of Jan. 9, 2018, more than 100 homes were destroyed and 21 people were killed following heavy rains in the hills above Montecito. The

mudslide lawsuits alleged the disaster would not have occurred if the Thomas Fire hadn’t stripped the vegetation on the hillside. The fire was initially reported on a cattle ranch near Santa Paula. According to a report by the Ventura County Fire Department, Southern California Edison equipment retrieved from the fire’s origin determined that power lines owned by the utility company arced and made contact with each other in high winds. The contact caused particles to fall to the ground and spark the fire, officials said. Wednesday’s settlement does not extend to any individuals suing Southern California Edison

or any claims from the Rye Fire, which burned at the same time as the Thomas Fire. Edison will also pay for future claim payments made by policyholders up until July 15, 2023, up to a certain cap. Southern California Edison is also facing multiple lawsuits in Los Angeles Superior Court stemming from damage caused by the 2018 Woolsey Fire, which burned nearly 97,000 acres. In October 2019, the company said its equipment likely sparked that fire, but the cause remains under investigation. Edison officials did not disclose the class size of the settlement.

but rather the city’s concern for its own financial stability amid COVID-19. Paying for a new crime analyst and grant writers would ultimately require taking money away from other city departments. “We just don’t have the money right now. Everything we do is on a shoestring,� he said. Despite the city’s limited resources, Mr. Cordero expressed great pleasure with the progress that has been made in preventing youth gang involvement through

the Mayor’s Task Force on Youth Safety. A collaborative of elected officials, community organizations, law enforcement, and schools, the task force provides kids with opportunities like after-school, weekend, and summer programs like sports, trips across the Central Coast, and volunteer opportunities to keep them active in their community. “We want to offer options other than hanging out at a park where

things could happen and trouble could brew,� Mr. Cordero said. He added the task force’s programs aim to keep kids busy at the age when they could otherwise fall prey to gang recruitment. “We want to capture young people when they’re in a state of need and at a time in their lives when it’s so easy for them to go in another direction,� he said.

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

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

REID, Charles Allen 5-23-26 - 9-16-20

Charles passed away peacefully next to his wife Priscilla of 57 years. He was born in Fremont, Nebraska and moved to California with his family when he was a young boy. He eventually landed in Santa Barbara where he attended La Cumbra Junior High and Santa Barbara High School. He then served in the U.S. Air Force. Upon retiring from the service he worked in the dairy business for over 40 years including Petan, Arden and Golden Coast Dairies. Charles enjoyed traveling, golf, playing cards with family and friends. Charles is survived by his wife, many nieces and nephews, and preceded in death by his parents Mary and Irwin Reid, two nephews and two nieces. At his request, there will be no services. Arrangements by Welch-Ryce-Haider Funeral Chapels

Judith Callahan, 82, passed away from natural causes on, 9/11/2020 in Santa Barbara, Ca. She was born on August 19, 1938 in Rochester, Minnesota. When she was a few years old, she moved with her parents to Santa Barbara, California where she was raised and attended local schools. After college, Judy did her dietetic internship at Letterman’s General Hospital in San Francisco. Then she worked as an Army dietitian in Army hospitals. One of her assignments took her to Germany for two years. In 1973, she married Walter Callahan at St.Bernadette’s Catholic Church in Springfield, VA. Judy was kept busy at their home in Springfield with gardening, sewing and various craft projects. In 1986, Judy and Walter moved to Santa Barbara, CA where Judy again took up gardening and craft projects. Judy joined the Secular Carmelites in 1992 and found it very spiritually enriching. She continued in it until her death. She was preceded in death by her husband Walter in 2004. She is survived by her three brothers: Thomas (Suzie), Charles, Bernard (Joy) and nephews and nieces on her side and Walter’s side. She is also survived by Walter’s two brothers, Fr. Ronan Callahan, C.P., and Robert (Cathleen) Callahan. A funeral mass will be held on 9/25/2020 at 10:00 am at Our Lady of Sorrows Catholic Church. Burial will follow at Calvary Cemetery.
